  My friends kept bullying me to play E33 until I finally caved. It was a good game, but was it better than the 10 or more shorter games I could have played in the time it took me to finish it?

  Also it had some tired tropes in the beginning that pissed me off, but it got better.

  Oh snap, I misread it! It says reservation.

  Thanks for the comment!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Regret to Inform You Chipotle Is Now Working With Palantir⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to go to Chipotle occasionally and feel bad about it. Then, I moved onto the same block as one, and it is the world’s worst Chipotle. Like, “The cashier tried to fight me when I told him he forgot to put meat in there” bad. 20% of the reviews mention food poisoning bad. Like, “They simply didn’t give me any food after I paid and claimed I didn’t order” bad.

  So anyway I’m max distance from the nearest good branch, meaning I’ve accidentally been boycotting for years. Shouldn’t be hard to keep the trend going indefinitely.

  Damn, that email meant I missed the draw?

  I’ve missed every steam lottery draw and this one sucks the most. 50% odds, too, apparently.

  I appreciate the sentiment, but the day I take action against a human being I usually like to protect a corporation’s interests is the day hell freezes over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Today a guy at work told me he runs my designs through every AI service for review before approving it. I have to go through a week-long review process before I can send anything to an approved supplier, and he’s just straight up feeding this stuff directly to the worst possible companies.

  He had the audacity to complain about our new “lock out personal USBs from working on PCs for security reasons” policy, when he’s the reason it’s going on in the first place.

  Just venting.

  Doing a log regression fit on past game lifespans, we’ll be hearing about the release of GTA VII until we die.

  I think generally you aren’t supposed to use different kinds of memory together, so a lot of people would replace it entirely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Being Proud of the Thing We Made Did Not Give Us the Right to Make It' — Dbrand Cancels Its Steam Machine Companion Cube⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering almost the exact same thing happened with Sony before, one can only assume it was on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dBrand Companion Cube cancelled:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Solid phone cases, though.

  If I had a nickel…

  That’s an interesting crusade to wage, I never would have learned about this at all if not for your comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LAN Party House⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My plan as a teenager was to build a LAN party room like that when I got a place with a big second bedroom and built up some spending money. Was planning to get there by 25.

  Hah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m saying that building one small is difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people underestimate how hard it is to build a computer this small and this functional with off the shelf parts. I have a case that just has a motherboard, power supply, and SSD in it for video streaming and web browsing on my TV, and it’s almost as big as this. It’s a relatively high spec MOBO since I wanted to stream fames from my PC initially, but still.

  I don’t have confidence I could make this myself at these specs.

  It always seems weird to me that they didn’t market it for its true potential, as a D&D and board game medium.

  I built one myself with diffusive plastic, a short throw projector, and a PS3 camera, and it ruled.
