  • 1993-2002ish was the golden age of the web. Now everybody just goes to the same handful of websites for everything. Even if you hate Spez, you still can't find any quality answers to anything without adding site:reddit.com to your searches. Everything else is SEO-optimized blogspam generated by a bot. There are no real personal webpages being run by a single person or a small entity anymore. Everything is corporate and centralized.


  • I don't mind touchscreens in cars; what I can't stand is when they put every important feature on there so you can't even adjust your A/C or turn up the music without taking your eyes off the road for several seconds.

    They should be limited to things like displaying the song title, controlling things from your phone like maps, music, and calls. Showing the backup camera, extra info that doesn't fit on the dash, etc. Not replace every god damn function on the car.




  • Don't bother. Private trackers suck. You have to maintain a certain ratio, which is much harder to do than you think when every single popular file has no leechers cause everyone's doing the same thing. So more often than not you have to download a bunch of random BS that no one wants and seed it forever just to build up a high enough ratio to finally download what you actually want.

    If you're going to pay for torrents, save yourself the hassle and just sign up for Real-Debrid instead. You get direct downloads at up to 1Gbps, so it's just as fast as a private tracker, and there's no worrying about seeding since all the most popular torrents in the world are stored directly on their servers. (You can also easily add torrents that aren't already on Debrid, in which case it behaves like a seedbox.) ~$17.50 for 6 months.





  • Oh don't worry I'm already 15 hours in. The space aspect bothers me and so does the typical Gamebryo Engine jank that every Bethesda game has, but I'm still enjoying myself. This is a hell of a lot better game than Cyberpunk, that's for damn sure. And I'm glad that there are a lot of mods available already cause they go a long way towards fixing a lot of the issues that I have with the game (like the bullet sponge enemies, the ugly green tint, the low res textures, and the lack of decent post-processing effects. All fixed with mods.)
