  • There’s no excuse anymore as to what’s there to find out about a game that’ll determine whether or not it’s worth it to pre-order. It all boils down to - FOMO. Nobody wants to be that person, who’ll get the game a week after or even a day after. They want to be there Day 1. They want to be there as the first batch of people who’ve bought the game. They want to be the first to review it, to stream it, to have hands on .etc Whatever reason they prop up as an excuse to pre-order in the first place.

    And I wouldn’t restrict it to This Year, it should be an all around precaution of common sense. Games are steadily going into the $70 default price tag now and yet there’s gullible people who’ll still slap down just for bragging rights and FOMO.








  • I do not trust password managers. There’s a saying that goes ‘do not put all of your eggs in one basket’ and that’s what I don’t do. Mobile, Desktop, whatever, I don’t use a single password manager. It wasn’t long ago that a password management company was compromised, right? What are the odds that similar circumstances could happen on another password management company? It’d be a disaster.

    Whatever happened to just simply having a notepad program/app and documenting your passwords onto there?

    Ironic to the contrary, I’ve caught myself using browsers such as chrome to save my passwords for easier log in. But that’s simply out of my decaying memory due to age, not necessarily because I have a bias with Google and I trust them with everything. I still don’t trust them with everything.

    As someone who has had been around Linux-based people and whenever I have had a single gripe about Windows - it’s this.

    I don’t have a hate boner with Linux, I just feel like Linux is a little too much for the average casual user. Everything is fine until they run into a single issue with Linux, if the bewilderment of not having their familiar easy to run programs that they had on Windows wasn’t a turn off for them from the get-go.
