My fiancee is against it (one of them is only 5, so that’s totally fair) so I get to be the cool (step) dad any time she’s got a work dinner or travel 😁 this has completely seriously greatly accelerated our relationship, lol

Just because I don’t follow the recommendation doesn’t mean I disbelieve it. Science also says I should eat better and exercise more and do less drugs 🤷♂️

I tried exactly one and it wasn’t even bad, but there was literally nothing interesting about it.

Careful - criticizing FlyingSquid in any way tends to lead to a ban.

Still something like half the time of a gas stove and a quarter that of a coil

I have that exact one and it’s not great, tbh. Spend a little more on something nicer - the extra might mean the difference between starting every morning angry and not
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 week ago:
You believe some forms of art shouldn’t exist at all just because a small percentage of people can’t experience it? Watercolor as an art form should be abolished? Music without strong bass shouldn’t be allowed? All paintings must incorporate strong textures?
Absolutely wild.

You gave lots of examples that accommodate them- that’s awesome and obviously I support that!
What you aren’t arguing for anywhere in this comment is that every artist be required to do these things, but somehow game developers are exempt from this grace?

Video games are the only art medium where people find it acceptable to gate-keep the art from the unskilled or the disabled.
Yes, deaf people are famously well-accomodated by music, and paintings are always very accessible to the blind. Games are the first medium to ever be inaccessible to people.

But my artistic integrity and vision!"
No, shut up. Your vision doesn’t mean squat if my experience with the game is annoying to the point where I don’t even care
Nah, miss me with this bullshit. Not every game is for you, and it doesn’t have to be. An artist is not required to water down their vision because you’re picky, just pick a different game.

How on Earth did Death Stranding get 7 nominations? And how did Blue Prince not get anything? Wild.

I tried searching for a while but wasn’t able to find one 😂🤣 it seems like everyone uses multiple tiers/roofs specifically to avoid this issue

looool, because a 50% price increase wasn’t bad enough. Has anyone not cancelled yet?
- Comment on Woof is dog for "You may test that assumption at your convenience" 2 months ago:
If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime
…wait, are we rewriting Rogan into a top fighter, now? He didn’t even compete after his teenage years, did he?
Not saying I could get as close as even touching the man, to be clear, but let’s not act like he fought professionally for years
- Comment on Woof is dog for "You may test that assumption at your convenience" 2 months ago:
I don’t think we he was arguing that it wasn’t impressive insomuch as the pictured animals are wolves and he absolutely would have lost that fight.
- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 2 months ago:
The simple answer is that the gospel wasn’t working as well as it had been, so they had to change it up to continue attracting people. Cults are basically popularity contests, and you can’t win if you’re scaring everyone away.
- Comment on Hades II v1.0 Is Now Available! 2 months ago:
Ooooo, good to hear! I played something like 15 hours when EA first released before deciding to put it away until full release. It was definitely good then, so I’m excited to see what it has turned into now.
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 2 months ago:
I am sure there are some people who just kind of don’t give a fuck about computers who that will be accurate for, but I feel like it’s a much smaller minority than Microsoft seems to think that it is.
You’re definitely overestimating the size of your own bubble. The vast, vast, vast majority of people won’t even notice.

This is how it was explained to me by a very elderly, birdwatching family member… If you ever go “whoa, that’s a really big crow,” you’re probably wrong

You seem to think squeezing as much productivity out of them is the goal, but if we treated them like humans you might do better for them and in the long run your children.
I’m the one arguing that they don’t deserve to be your slave… I’m sorry you feel entitled to so much of their time. They’re overworked, understaffed, and have to deal with so many entitled parents. Logging saves them literal hours, and it doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them, it just means you can focus on the important parts.
- Comment on Incident 3 months ago:
It’s like you haven’t read a single reply
- Comment on Incident 3 months ago:
you would think they would have all these other workers that can cover while you talk to the parent.
So, literally the exact same scenario as the logging, except it takes 10-100x as long?

And what if you’re the special case?
- Comment on Incident 3 months ago:
Distrust? It helps to know if they napped or not, because that changes plans. Doctors ask about diaper change schedules. Bumps or scrapes are good to know about because not all effects are immediate.
It’s not about trust. People forget shit, and comm lines get crossed when you’re working with 4 other staff and 30 kids. Why rely on someone’s memory when the alternative is faster, more consistent, and more informative?
- Comment on Incident 3 months ago:
If it’s important they’ll remember.
Absolutely fucking braindead take.

I turned out fine so it clearly was.
