  My friends who grew up outside Oz find it weird that to me “it ain’t Christmas unless it’s scorching hot”. To me the idea of having a cold Christmas is the odd one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’s often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a “B”) animals every year that didn’t really need to be slaughtered.

  I’m genuinely curious: what’s the vegans’ answer to the question of “what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?”. It’s not like they can just be let loose…

  Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they’d need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don’t go from a “managed” ecological disaster to an “out of control” ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hades 2 Technical Test to Wind Down Today, Steam Early Access Release Date ‘Relatively Soon’ After⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was very quick! I expected the technical test to go on much longer than that!

  Now it’ll be the dilemma of “do I buy it in early access knowing that it’ll be only a fraction of the content, or do I wait for 1.0?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many floors are under an apartment on the second floor? (No basement)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The “M” would be for mezzanine, which is usually either a floor that’s small or at an intermediate height between main floors.

  Okay, I’ll bite. What does “a Hobbit” mean as a unit of measurement?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Game Awards 2023: List of Winners⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Congratulations to all the winners - they’re all very well deserved! No surprises here (though very pleased) to see BG3 clean house.

  It’s very unfortunate for Insomniac that SM2 didn’t get any wins, but it goes to show how crazy good this year has been for gamers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Autumn Sale and Steam Award Nominations are Live until 28th November⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They want everyone to buy Payday 3 to make it seem like less of a flop, so they have no reason to discount old content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nominees for Game of The Year at TGA 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s quite telling that Starfield only showed up once, despite being one of the most hyped games of the year.

  So many strong games here! I’m a little biased since I’ve not played many of these, but I’m hoping BG3 cleans house.

  Rock and stone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 02-10-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re halfway through act 2 I wouldn’t worry about that. I think I spent as much time in act 3 as in acts 1 & 2 combined!
