The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 4hI love it when browser updates add search engines to the list. Totally doesn't look like malware is inserting itself when suddenly there's a new option I've never heard of in my life. 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 17hI'm not sure what to think of this apple liqueur. It's not BAD, but it's only 18% so you have to drink more of it to reach your target pishedness. At least it was cheap. 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 19hA bit I like to do is "sorry, [random name], I'm really bad with names." It's stupid and low effort, but funny enough one time I accidentally called a guy by his real name, which I'd entirely forgotten. You know who you are, but I sure didn't. 020
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Trying out Duolingo's "Chess" course, because Chess is of course a real language. I am consistently beating the bot they have teaching you. I refuse to believe I'm ANY good at chess whatsoever so this is a POS that's letting you win, like Martin. Damn you, Oscar. 100
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Two achievements left to go. One for not finishing the game (ha) and one for telling the insurance company that everybody without exception was killed by the Captain so I'm making him a serial cannibal. 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026An AI "art" account followed me. Ha. *blocks* Get in the sea, would you kindly. 020
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026@catovitch.bsky.social Remind me, what was your final verdict on this Obra Dinn thing? Because right now I feel like it's deliberately annoying to play, and the dither filter is getting on my nerves. 200
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I was gonna look into what a violin bow costs because you can get some really interesting effects applying it to an e-guitar or bass. So I put "bow" into Amazon's search bar. Not quite what I meant but I am very interested. 200
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm already fundamentally bored with Obra Dinn. But only because of deliberate design decisions taken to make everything take much longer than it needs to. 110
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Played a little bit of Return of the Obra Dinn. Is the thing on a timer? Because I can't figure out if there's a way of advancing the thing manually, it moves on to the next bit by itself it would seem. A "get on with it" button would be nice. 011
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don't play chess. I know how the pieces move but that's about it. Beat "Martin" on the first go. So their "shittiest chessist alive" bot is indeed shittier than me. That takes some doing. 020
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Gave the demo for the new Hellraiser game a quick go. And those are certainly Vibes™. 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There is a type of welding that consists primarily of "convincing two pieces of metal that they are connected". Sounds like bullshit, but it's real. 110
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Just saw this in a video description. ... Could you not? 020
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So I bought a cheap magnetic stirring plate because mixing the pouring silicone is terribly tedious... A brand new revelation: This thing stirs choccy milk like nobody's business. Oh hells yeah. 020
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Look up "Slam Tank" on Steam. Scroll down to the AI disclaimer. This flag is so red it's actually gone and seized the means of production. 030
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Is Sam Altman's carbon footprint visible from space yet? 110
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 30/09/2026So ETS2's VR mode doesn't work properly (anymore?) so it's really jittery and flickery and I think I got motion sick again. Why are you doing this to me. Your VR mode was, like, the best before. 000
Reposted by The KrautistUnidentified sliding object @wordgoblin.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If the latest Firefox update dark theme is sending you into ragespace like it was for me: put in search about:config search for this and change to false browser.nova.enabled 022
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Oh sure, a 41.5GB update to an eleven-year-old game. Beautiful. Can't wait to try that new version on the Deck and discover it halves the framerate. 130
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026At work today I learned about pinch points. I also learned that you probably shouldn't pop blood blisters, but then it burst by itself anyway. Hurray! 110
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Wikipedia tells me that bird eggs are "ovoid". Well. Yes. By definition. Because the word "ovoid" means "egg-shaped". Well done. 010
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Parking your truck in ETS2 is the only part of the game that is tricky because I never learned to drive with a trailer so backing up with one is its own puzzle game. And now imagine doing it with the sim racing wheel instead of a joystick. Whee. 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So a guy installing Flock cameras was photographed doing so and called the cops because of *checks notes* his privacy being violated. Isn't it ironic, don't you think? 020
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Life hack: Turn off your FPS counter, and games are immediately more fun. 120
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Just played Session on the Steam Deck because it says it's "Verified". ... Yeah that is so cool. It's of course much less arcadey than THPS but it has its own charm. 020
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yesterday, I spent a couple hours downloading Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. I played through the prologue, which was fine. I played the first minute or so of the first chapter. I uninstalled the game. You can keep your "supply drops" out of my single player campaign, Activision. 110
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If I ever see Agent 47 in my workplace, no I don't, and incidentally I quit and I'm immediately moving to Paraguay. 010
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So the facial animation in Mass Effect 1 has aged like a fine milk. I don't remember if this ever looked good but it sure as fuck doesn't know. The characters all look like they took a page out of the Ed Gein autobiography and wear dead skin masks over their actual faces. 200
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Mass Effect: Legendary Edition enables HDR by default and I resent that because I don't *use* HDR. It messes with too many things. Case in point: The display flickers like fuck whenever it switches modes. The visual fidelity of "technically HDR lol" isn't worth the hassle. 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Look, I know you think something happened when I went to Spain, but don't worry. I'm fine! Sometimes I go entire minutes without GLORIA A LAS PLAGAS 131
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I like to imagine that Trevor's last words were "watch this", or maybe "it's Saturday!". 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Plot twist: It's playing the video anyway because it's VLC. 121
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Just tried High on Life. And good news! It's exactly as insufferable as you think! *uninstalls* And don't come back! 010
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I posit that video games do not need DLSS5. Developers are perfectly capable of making their games run like shit without any help. 030
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The Romans had the right idea. Built a wall to keep the Scottish at bay. An anti kilt-and-bagpipe wall. Very admirable. 010
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 24/09/2026With my old phone, at the end of the workday I'd be at about 60% battery just from listening to m'audiobooks. I wasn't thinking much of it because it comfortably got through the day so whatever. New phone? 80%. So the battery of the old one was starting to get a little tired. 120
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 23/09/2026So YouTube decided I had to see this and one thing I noticed is that, when she walks in the room, Granny Cat looks a lot like someone who'd yell "pull the lever, Kronk!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTM4...youtube.comGrandma Cat Meets Grandkittens For the First Time!YouTube video by Maine Coon Kittens 010
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Okay that's just ridiculous. Can't see shit with these bugged lens flares. 100
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I added a Qi charging coil to my phone... and then printed a new phone holder that can accommodate the charging puck in the right spot so that it'll charge automagically when I place the phone on it. And only afterwards did I find out my earbuds can do it as well. 000
The Krautist @thekrautist.bsky.social · 23/09/2026When I first played NFS Underground 2 on the Steam Deck, I noticed the light flares, visible through the world geometry. It was an issue with the emulation, and changing the Proton version fixed it. Anyway here's a screenshot from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022). 000
