There’s one in the Austin Powers movies with a funny scottish accent.
I don’t think he’s not a gamer tho. “Dead sexy” funny guy nonetheless.
- Comment on Would it be possible to run two OSs simultaneously by hibernating one of the OSs? 3 days ago:
in theory, I think you would also need a shared component that enforces the alternating “rules” that both OS understands.
that component also needs to be always awake so it will facilitate hand overs like an OS of OSes.
- Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no 2 weeks ago:
gifted people are gifted if you compare them with others (see how there’s a graph on the bottom right panel).
if you take out the comparisons, everything is all fine as individuals are who they decide themselves to be.
- Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no 2 weeks ago:
second place or (second region from peak) is apparently a hard place to be.
in alternate mindsets, it’s all fine – you are what defines you.
- Comment on He-Man Reborn: Nicholas Galitzine Steps into the Role for ‘Masters of the Universe’ Film 4 weeks ago:
personally this news is amusing for me.
i understand the nostalgia behind it, but everytime i see he-man, the song and skeletor memes immediately pop up.
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 1 month ago:
there is no to-ask-or-not,
just questions which are treated as they are.

suspension of belief is also being tested, I see.
- Comment on Is it normal to forget things from the previous day often? 2 months ago:
I think from time to time, it is normal.
a lot of people don’t really pay attention to day-to-days unless there’s something specific or particularly attention grabbing about it.
if I understood the post as it meaning you find yourself in a steady decline of remembering, that might be something else.

As with all Jungian forms of practice, contacting you website administrator may help reveal your true catastrophic failure self.
- Comment on Does more knowledge/awareness have a tendency to reduce enthusiasm for some subjects/activities? 3 months ago:
For me it’s per activity and how you get your fun from it.
Like for example, in a game of hide and seek, the fun part is exploring and finding where people hid, if you already know that then it is not fun anymore. This kind of activity lines the same as with reading books or watching a movie.
On cooking, it is a different kind of fun because the more you know, the more you can apply. Medicine people have the same tendencies as well as athletes for these.
There’s also the type of fun you get with jokes, or for music.
Other people’s mileage may vary as each have their own approaches to different activities.
- Comment on bioluminescence 3 months ago:
this reminded me of the clock girls story, “radium girls”, I think.
but since bioluminescence is powered differently, it’s a way better approach than artificial splashes of paint.

Pavlov wouldn’t need a dog for this.
just look at those smiles at food commercials.

He should have asked how to do the rolling of boulders.
He missed his chance.
- Comment on How do CAPTCHAs work without giving you a challenge task? 4 months ago:
in my experience, you can sometimes get away messing a token or two in the user string as long as it is one of the common ones out there. start injecting BeOS and other arcane values in and things get less reliable.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
so the next best thing is to never give up.
you’ll find the one that can see you over those imperfections!
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
There’s a lot of preferences out there. Most try to chase unicorns but each of them have their own phases.
I think you can compensate it by not giving up, or just know when your time to chase unicorns is over.
- Comment on Why does this even exist? 4 months ago:
some people take their canning process to the extremes.
as an aside, I’ve never seen a canned pickle product. I guess they stopped at chicken.
- Comment on NASA unlocks $1B canister of asteroid dust 5 months ago:
For the others who asked the same question as me of “how did they know the canister was valued 1 billion?”, the title was amended. The space craft that sent the capsule is worth the 1 billion.
- Comment on My country/city has a new COVID wave. I got infected for the third time. 5 months ago:
That sucks.
I hope you don’t catch it again. Things will be more tougher in the future as countries being pushed by businesses will downplay this more.
- Comment on What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations? 5 months ago:
Would games that ride on to their ancestor’s titles count?
It’s reasonable to not expect final-for-real-fantasy <N> to not be the same as final-for-real-fantasy <N-1>. But since it is marketed this way, is it the norm to expect great things?
Games that don’t explicitly use numbers can be considered in this scheme too. Example: A game called “Barcraft: Burps and Germans: Oktoberfest” would count.
- Comment on TikToker Exposes Truth Behind 'Garbage Feeding' - pigs in dozens of states are legally fed plastic garbage, ground up and added to their feed 5 months ago:
this got me thinking as well.
I think the whole garbage feeding law (at least in US, where the video originated) is made to control disease transmission – but not microplastics, which is a relatively new discovery.
Still up to the consumer to protect themselves while there’s no regulation tackling this.
- Comment on Why were online subscriptions once rare, but now they are everywhere? 5 months ago:
imo, the subscription style is the evolution of “planned obsolescence”.
people are willing to give money if the goods have an expiration. so instead of the goods expiring, the concept of validity of the goods now expire. same money, but saves on making different goods altogether.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 5 months ago:
speaking of blowing minds, there’s that quest about witches in the forest.
I thought I’d be fighting with super natural and magic but it became another magical thing altogether.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 5 months ago:
I agree the consequences can be baffling, but sometimes it can be straight up funny overblown too.
I think the inspiration to this is the butterfly effect and how the main’s decision can cause (huge) side effects but somewhat not to what he wanted.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 5 months ago:
fate/ stay night and other visual novels fit this category. steins gate is also a notable one.
somnium files have a lighter version in terms of gravity of decisions.
you can kill people in morrowind and oblivion.
a good bethesda-like game that comes to mind is kingdom come: deliverance

4 and 5.
toasters are cool. having them do your bidding? priceless.
4 because I am a kind and generous person. free noses for everybody~*!

7 isn’t clear on the definition of empty.
for all we know, anything with air isn’t “empty”.
- Comment on I just want to set a timer for MY FOOD WINDOWS WHY? 7 months ago:
I think windows has a feature where it gets the update for other neighbors with windows. this might be why the extra lag.
oooorrr… as EA says, “to give the user a sense of accomplishment” ~

I’ll call it the “hustle mullet”.
