DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If a feature was so great and everyone wanted it, they wouldn't need to keep shoving it in our faces. 050
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I genuinely don't think anything did for me. (Even asked my parents and they didn't remember anything). The closest was that one 'Are You Afraid of the Dark' episode... (The Pool episode) Props to the costume designer. It still holds up looking at it as an adult. 010
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 27/09/2026NGL: This post got me to check on my Game boy Pocket. Found one of the batteries was leaking. Thankfully the corrosion was minimal and I cleaned it up before any real damage was done. 031
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Can't wait for the AI to hallucinate and install a random program. Or install a out of date version because the model hasn't had an update in 5 months. 000
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 12/09/2026It was weird talking to people twice my age not understanding technology can be designed to work without an internet connection. A car, TV, fridge, doesn't *need* to connect to the internet. I expect that from someone half my age, not from someone who still uses an AOL email. 051
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 06/09/2026You can always try the ISOs without installing if you are just want to just demo it. (Wont save anything if you power off) If drives weren't expencive, id recommend installing it on a second drive without touching your windows drive. 010
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Yeaaaah. People here are not exactly friendly to the tech that enshitified the internet... That said: PDN on WINE - I cannot possible express my gratitude enough for even attempting. Dead serious, I don't think a day has gone by where I haven't thought "This would be so much easier with Paint.Net" 000
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Oh wait. Its August that means Ive been on Linux for a whole year now! ... Honestly I still feel a bit nubish with it, but hey. Its been working :D 050
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 13/08/2026A friend of mine felt similar and we said that his kindness is probably whar makes the patience feel bigger. 010
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 13/08/2026My yearbook quote was: "I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. I am in earnest. I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard. It still fits :P 120
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I dunno why but I constantly have the 'Skyrim Cycle' "Huh... I kinda wanna do X in Skyrim." Install it, install some common mods. Play for 5 minutes. "Ehh I don't really feel like playing Skyrim anymore." Uninstall it. Repeat in 10-12 months. 31432
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Heheh yep! I will never forget getting called down to the principle's office, "So do you like to play games?" I was supposed to be banned from the school computers, but the next year I took a programing class, and I guess never could prove it was me. heh 110
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 23/07/2026The Jaguar's controller's problems were that is was a 3 button controller, it was creeky, and the buttons all felt cheap. All fixed with the "pro controller" apparently. The few games I own, the numberpad is hardly used. Except Iron Solider which it worked... weirdly well with. 010
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Yep. People forget, banner ads like this were the norm. And this was one of the more tame ones! Since it only makes sounds when you mouse over it. I remember having to refresh the page if the banner ad was one that just randomly made sounds. "Hellooooooo!" "Say Something!" youtu.be/DO6taeNZE5o?...youtu.beSAY SOMETHINYouTube video by lizsp34k 0122
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 20/07/2026It was also designing levels with the camera in mind. Tight indoor areas were notorious bad. Like using the GIF as an example: Some games would zoom into the player, then out as you walk past the tree, others the tree would block your vision. You'd be expected to do platforming while these happen. 111
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 20/07/2026You know, going forward to the PS2/XB/GCN, a common issue was games having a bad camera. Not RE fixed camera angles. I'm talking 3rd person action games that randomly decided to have platforming section INDOORS. Please someone argue the merit of cameras that freak out while you do precision jumps. 200
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Hey @carrot-ebooks.bsky.social and @imcryingpotatoes.bsky.social, I ran into Charles today! Hes a very sleepy Slowpoke these days, but hes made new friends. 230
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 18/07/2026As much as I like the Steam Controller's hardware. I can't stand it's software. God damn it Valve why the hell do I have to go into Big Picture Mode to adjust *anything*. I love using a UI made for controllers, to adjust how the controller work - Live! Like performing brain surgery on one own self. 120

DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Their grip cases often have the issue were the rubber and plastic separate after a few months of use. Went through 3 cases on my phone. - I at least give them credit they always did replace it. 010
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Is this the origin story of Stormy, before he worked at the Sealab? 010

DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I was wondering "why 512 that feels low for a gaming PC" But then I went to Costco and saw a Dell Desktop with 512GB for $700 Microsoft also recently lowered the baseline RAM of Win11 to 8GB. Something tells me consumer PC manufacturers are getting desperate to get the price down. 000
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Reminder, the last time this guy won: Computer hard drives & memory, were measured in Megabytes Cheers was still airing new episodes for it's 11th final season. Home Alone 2 was going to be in theaters in a few days. Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Always Love You" released 1 day prior. 000
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I'd say any of the YuGiOh! games. - People know Forbidden Memories, but man. The Tag Force games are pure grind fests in both good and the absolute worst ways. 020
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Saw an old friend today, filled me with smiles seeing her after so many years. Also got to touch Quark's abs without having to pay a few bars of Gold-Pressed Latinum. 060
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 13/06/2026So. This is literally how I learned 'Smoking behind the Supermarket with You." has actually been released. Cause at least on my homepage. There is not a single mention of it. - But plenty of mentions of shows I have already watched in their entirety, or have 0 interest in. 100
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 12/06/2026You ever watch that Star Trek (Or Dexters Lab) episode where they shoot the monster and it just gets bigger and more dangerous? Thats what Redact is actually doing. You arent "poisoning the well", you are just causing a drought and driving more people towards AI. 060
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Oh and this also goes for anyone who also makes a Discord into a tech support forum. We used to have a functional internet. And people like that are the reason we don't anymore. 11766
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 12/06/2026The creator of Redact and anyone who answers questions then uses can honestly burn in hell. I hate when, someone solves my issue, but months later I experience it on another machine, so I go back to the same exact post, and its been erased. 81444
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Is there any kinda error log? But yeah. I feel ya. About the only components not currently overpriced are the things that can't be the problem. The PSU being faulty honestly might be best case scenario. If the me of +10 years ago heard that statement, I couldn't imagine the look on their face haha. 010

DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Never tried it before, Trying it now and... It sends capitals perfectly! But the haptics feel really off (at least on this Pixel 7a) I'll certainly keep my eye on it. 020
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Its a little finicky (gotta use Gboard rather then Heliboard if I wanna type capital letters) but its much more convenient then dragging my keyboard and mouse into the living room. 210
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Things the Tech industry thinks will excite me: "AI Agents that will do all the things you like to do, for you! And do it badly!" Things that actually excite me: "KDE Connect lets you use your phone as a keyboard & trackpad when you are playing on your TV." 170
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Yeah. I had a teacher in high school who would swap hands mid sentence while writing on the whiteboard. He told us it was because the nuns used to smack his left hand. I want to say he was in his 40s? It was kinda weird realizing that wasn't a "In our grandparents time." thing 010
DeScruff @descruff.bsky.social · 22/05/2026If I had a nickle for every Canadian Youtuber who became convinced that a certain piece of software was going to become revolutionary, changing their respective industries, despite the rather small scope the companies behind them seem to actually have.
