you can almost get it to say anything with the right prompt. You can even make it contradict itself.


I got Mihon as recommended by comments here. But how do I know which extension is “safe”?


Forget the lottery numbers, I wanna know when I’ll get laid.


Hey, is it too late to buy a couple of n3dsxl in 2024? Is it unusable now as all online services are shut down? Can you still find game cartridges to buy?

I just want something simple to play co-op game with the wife and kids on camping trip or on-the-go sometimes. Last month I dug out my old DSLite from the attic and it’s still boot. My candy-crush-4-life wife love the Mario kart and couldn’t stop playing LOL. But we can’t justify to buy 2-4 Switch.

Because fuck Nintendo and their predatory anti consumer business model.


I beg to differ. Angry Bird, cut the rope, where’s my water, Space RPG, FRUIT Ninja, and a whole lot more, are classic mobile games in the beginning. They’re sometimes simple, yes, but at least there’s efforts in it to try to be original.

Nowadays, it’s all Freemium p2w cash grab.



Shout out to Steam’s regional pricing. Stopped my 3rd-world ass from piracy since 2012.


And you know what would be good? Your subscription money will be divided equally between everything you watched that month.

If they want your money, they better make high quality show that’s actually interesting.

Let them fight each other for our subscription money.


Fuck, I miss my Motorola Milestone (Motorola Droid). Best phone ever. I blame the world for not supporting slide out landscape keyboard phones more.


When the game allowed, I make my character to look like my then-gf (now my wife), and named it after her. Idk, I think she’s cute and I would like to see her more.

Funny thing is I’ve never told her this and she have no idea why I always alt-tab out of my game when she walked by (she knows I’m not playing something that would upset her like a porn games or something like that because she can see what I’m playing from afar. She just can’t see the character’name or details from that distance).


Thanks, this is exactly what I need.

edit: aww, my favorite racing game Dirt Rally 2.0 is not supported, windows only. But Dirt Rally (1) is supported by all 3 OS: windows, mac, and linux, plus support for VR. So somehow the sequel is worse. Is it just a case of lazy devs?


The moral of piracy is hard to define imo. And there’s definitely no hard right or wrong.

In my case, in the past I pirate because I live in a 3rd world country and $60 is entire month’s salary.

Nowadays, some time games doesn’t offer demo or trial, and I can’t afford to buy something I wouldn’t enjoy after 30 minutes playthrough.

Some people say they pirate because fuck the devs or publishers. But then you But for me, if some devs or publishers are considered bad and not worth supporting in my eyes, I just doesn’t give a shit about anything they put out. It’s that simple, don’t look it up, don’t talk about it, don’t engage in its discussion online, fuck’em. Nintendo is one of those in my eyes because of their constant anti-consumer behavior.



Fuck those abusers. They’re the reason why Steam adjusted the regional pricing in my country to +50% (some games +100%). Before, $60 games in western countries are translated to $10 in my country, now they’re $15 - $20. And our minimum wage is <$1/hour.


Actually, Steam Regional Pricing is the only way I can afford to buy games legitimately. I live in a 3rd world country, and we’re poor compared to the majority of the world. Thanks to regional pricing, a full price USD$60 game is now $15 in my country. Believe it or not but minimum wage here is <$1/hour.

I have to admit that I’ve never bought a game “full price” of $15, not that I wanted to, just can’t afford it. I believe my most expensive game is ~$10.


Don’t even need Steam deck. The Steam store has put an end to my pirate life over a decade ago.

On multiple occasions, I have found myself rather wait for sale and bought a game on Steam, than receive it for free on Epic store.

I put every single games that I have ever pirated in Steam’s wishlist (if it’s available). Then slowly buying them one by one when they goes on sale. I’m not rich by any means and it’s the least I can do.



Does it pronounce “C flat”? I’m not fluent in musical tongue.


I watched a YT video about this and they said the guy was paid 10K (way too low imo), a Google search shows different numbers everywhere so it’s hard to confirm. But at least the guy got paid, for sure.

As far as I’m understanding it, the game was using a single threading process to load every single items in the game one by one (over 10 thousands in total), then checking again for duplicate.


Are you saying the INSANE GTA Online load time is fixed now?

Back in the old day, I literally just throw my hands up and said “I can’t wait for this shit anymore, I don’t have all day” then rage quit and delete the game.



Hell yeah, you don’t even need to play the singleplyer trilogy first to understand it. My buddy and I have a blast 100% it. So good.


For more immersion, you might wanna try VR. And if looks is what you’re after then PCVR for specific, although there are some impressive contents on mobile VR too.


It’s really sad that Steam deck is not officially sell in my country, and the ones available are all have $200-$300 mark up price.


Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is released in 2010. Or the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 in 2013.


Yup, out of all the things I hate about Apple, their iPhone’s naming scheme is something I wish other brands would follow (including Apple with thier other devices).

Apple iPad on the other hand, is a completely mess.

To OP, what’s wrong with sequential names? I look at an iphone and i know exactly when they were released and their relative performance to other iphone models. Why is it a bad thing?


There’s no point for Apple to self sabotage like that. Why make your new shiny $1500 phone look bad just to praise a discontinued products? Switching back to Lightning is impossible. Better to just move on with it and because it’s Apple, they will more likely to pull some bullshit like “Reinventing USB-C” or “The Best USB-C in the world”.

Apple would rather just ditch all physical ports and move to 100% wireless than praising Lightning over USB-C.
