I was interested in Diablo IV when it was released which, after a few videos, led YouTube to recommend Asmondgold. I watched one or two of his videos and the next thing I know my feed is full of maga and manosphere trash. Most of it had innocuous titles and thumbnails but a few minutes in I was being bombarded with lies, bad faith arguments, logical fallacies. Don’t even get me started with where funny Garand Thumb videos will lead. All I could think of was how Al Queda and ISIS recruited people with videos posted online.

EDIT: For the most part, I liked Asmondgold, but the algorithm leads from him to very dark places.

I thought about getting an M4 MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles for that same reason but I just don’t need it.

You can self host a lot on something like that.

The one place I see a huge leap is in MacBooks. The capabilities of a 2015 Intel based MBP are laughable when compared to an M4 based 2025 MBP. I use an MBP for my music production and I just cannot make it choke, no matter what I throw at it.

Coffee knocks me out. Between the warmth and the actual ADHD relief, it is very hard to keep my eyes open.

Facebook Meta is a cancer.

I remember when a ten year old laptop was just trash, unable to even boot a modern OS. Current hardware capacity exceeds our actual demand by so much that a ten year old computer is still adequate for most users (assuming you aren’t on Windows).

My 8 year old 1080ti graphics card can run most games perfectly fine on a 1080p/60 screen (still the most common spec budget monitor). I would not be surprised if it that PC hits 10+ years of gaming without a real need for upgrade.

No way! Now that I noticed it, it is a source of entertainment.

They seem pro-palestine, or at least anti-genocide. I think they just don’t like me. Who knows? Still flattered.

I used the tool and it looks like I have a downvoting stalker that dutifully downvotes my posts and comments. Aww… that’s so cute!

I think I am going to try Dave the Diver and/or Songs of Conquest.

They absolutely know they can be heard. You just have to tell him that it isn’t cool and that you don’t want to hear it.

I need this mod

Even though I have been gaming since Pong (my first game console), I have never played any Elder Scrolls games. This trailer’s voice over is new to me, and it is so strange and nostalgic to hear Patrick Stewart’s young and vibrant voice on the trailer for a game released this morning.

Windows 11 on 4GB of RAM? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…

I genuinely thought this was an Onion headline.

I “own” it in Multiple platforms already. I might actually own it now.

I don’t get…awww fuck’n-ell!!
