- Comment on Laser Guy is a twin-stick "anti-shooter" about a stressed out game developer who can't stop shooting laser beams from his eyes 5 days ago:
That’s crazy. I had a really similar idea a while ago. Mine was trying to go buy some milk but you can’t stop shooting lasers everywhere you look. Glad somebody made it. :)
- Comment on Steam Machine - Waitlist only 3 weeks? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been on the waitlist for the 512 with controller since shortly after it was announced, and I just got my invitation a few days ago. Now I’m waiting got shipment. I’d guess it’s easier for them to procure the 512s.

I don’t know if I would call Linux the most professional, but it’s definitely the biggest.
- Comment on "Expect fake messages": A load of Steam user personal info has been stolen thanks to a cyberattack on one of Valve's partners, claims report 4 weeks ago:
I use Port87, so I’ll just block that address and give Valve a new one. If your email doesn’t have a feature like this, you need a new email.
- Comment on America’s largest newspaper chain, USA Today Co., partners with Palantir to analyze audience data as search traffic falls 5 weeks ago:
Really glad I just deleted their app off my phone.
- Comment on Samsung, who've been accused of worsening the RAM crisis via price fixing, reckon components will only get more expensive in 2027 5 weeks ago:
Why not just enlist people into 7 years of voluntary servitude if they want a single RAM chip? Cuts out the middle man.

They have been.
- Comment on Rideshare "Stimulator" is an Uber driver sim set in a city full of weirdos that I'm hoping is satirical enough to pull the concept off 1 month ago:
Crazy Taxi was a thing in 1999. And yes, it’s a fantastic concept.

I would love to see that.

Can they run on an electronic highway traffic sign?
- Comment on Steam Controller early review leak claims $99 launch price 4 months ago:
It looks like it, yes. Their source code references:
https://videocardz.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1Which is a Wordpress url.
It’s not proof, but it’s pretty strong evidence.

No matter how expensive it is, I’m getting one.

Sweet. Gonna blow all my money on new Steam hardware this year.
- Comment on [Discussion] Would you buy a Steam smart phone? 5 months ago:
Not if it used Android, but if they ran like a Linux based OS, yeah, I’d give it a try.

- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 6 months ago:
I mean actually hosting a Matrix server. Like, on my own hardware. It’s very difficult to set up. Especially if you want audio/video.
- Comment on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs 6 months ago:
I’m in the process of switching my two communities to Matrix. It’s not bad from a user point of view, but running your own server is such an enormous pain in the ass. Like, way harder than it should be.
- Comment on OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health, encouraging users to connect their medical records 8 months ago:
Absolutely fucking not. I don’t need a sycophantic hallucinatory robot telling me to drink bleach to cure my athlete’s foot.
- Comment on i cant wait to get a steam frame 8 months ago:
For what I use it for (mostly Beat Saber, but also 3D modeling), it’s not bad. For what I’d like to use it for (AAA VR games), it’s terrible. But, it’s way better than the Quest 1 I had before it. Still, the Frame is going to absolutely destroy it.
- Comment on i cant wait to get a steam frame 8 months ago:
I feel the exact same. I have a Quest 3S, and I can’t wait to dump it immediately as soon as I get a Frame.
- Comment on AI Vending Machine Was Tricked into Giving Away Everything 8 months ago:
It’s hilarious to me that we’ve known for so long that humans are the weakest link in any security chain, and yet we’ve built this weakness right into our machines now.
- Comment on AI-authored code contains worse bugs than software crafted by humans 8 months ago:
The AI proofread it and said it was great.
- Comment on AI-authored code contains worse bugs than software crafted by humans 8 months ago:
It’s actually impressive that it learned to be the most average programmer, and ended up being way shittier.
- Comment on In 1995, a Netscape employee wrote a hack in 10 days that now runs the Internet 9 months ago:
Yeah, but only kind of. It depends if you’re using the new syntax. Within new language constructs (like Class), code runs in strict mode without having to use
“use strict”. It gets rid of some of the annoying quirks. - Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 9 months ago:
So long and thanks for all the memes.

I never watered mine. Was that the issue?
- Comment on In 1995, a Netscape employee wrote a hack in 10 days that now runs the Internet 9 months ago:
I mean, sure, but the JS we write today is quite a bit different than the JS he designed.
It was also heavily influenced by a number of other languages, and borrowed tons of libraries from them. The entire number and math system is just a straightforward implementation of IEEE 754.
