  Maybe anon only watches loli hentai but played it down to ‘anime’.

  I couldn’t sleep yesterday so I started reading about LVADs (heart pumps) and saw some animal testing pictures and then I couldn’t sleep.

  It’s it a box they sprayed some lab made formula in and are presenting it as smell replication for the sake of building up hype to grow their stock, but no new tech involved what so ever?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*cough cough* GOLLUM *cough cough*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I get that. They were all influenced in some way. I thought hobbits were supposed to be perfect for the job as they were considered lesser in power than the other races, so the ring wouldn’t really empower them as much, thus less chance of corruption. The same reason they couldnt just fly to Mt Doom on the eagles as they were a powerful race, more susceptible to corruption. Golem wanted the ring more than life itself and killed for it very quickly so I find its just that aspect I find hard to believe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*cough cough* GOLLUM *cough cough*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So one thing I don’t get… Hobbits are supposed to be like a nice race, not easily corruptible, all they want is food and peace. A hobbit would be the best race to trust with the one ring. Bilbo had it for like 80+ years and gave it away, Frodo threw it away and ignored it for like 18 years, Sam didn’t give a shit about it… So why did it corrupt Sméagol so? He was a hobbit too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's PC works⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought anon was the normie? The average person doesnt upgrade their PC every two years. The average person buys a PC and replaced it when nothing works anymore. Anon is the normie, they are the enthusiasts. Anon is not hanging with a group of people with matching ideologies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many games do you manage to play at the same time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My only obligations are my job, so I can pretty much waste all my time on games if i want to. I play one at a time, maybe add in three rounds of CS2 per week to get the drops. What would really drain time is an mmo but I’ve been clean of that for a while.

  I guess games just don’t excite me anymore as they used to so I just pick out the ones that do and stick to them. When there’s nothing on the release horizon, I revert back to city builders or racing games till the next release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would "suggest price" be a positive option for steam?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The action of not buying something signals the price is too high. Sales numbers vs sales expectations are the only metric that really matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What MMORPG are you playing, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Played many over the years and while playing think of how GW2 implemented this specific thing and become nostalgic for GW2 and start playing that again. New world was fun for a while, but I missed magic (literally), so I started gw2 again and went through two expansions over 4 months, burned out and am now 1.5 years MMO sober.

  GW2 is cool like that. No subs, respects your time, many players drop in and out every few years. It’s getting old but I hope it never dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I guess I'm just a cubicle monkey now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, you’d be on a field till your neck sweat reached your ass crack. You had to be born into nobility to be a knight… sort of like how you have to be born into riches to not be a [insert profession] monkey.

  T1 was enough to scratch an itch. T2 was the complete experience. Never tried T3. I remembe they made it an MMO at first but changed it later? No clue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $700 price tag isn’t hurting PS5 Pro’s early sales⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a good machine for that but theres nothing unique about it (steam link on phones and natively on TVs as an app is theoretically free). I did play through the whole Days Gone (60 hrs to platinum) by streaming it from PS4 to deck in my bed. Good experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $700 price tag isn’t hurting PS5 Pro’s early sales⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The reality is, deck can handle most games out there in handheld mode. For the latest and greatest games, visual fidelity has to be sacrificed. While the deck has its used on the TV, it’s not a good choice if that’s all you will be using it for.

  My deck, TV docked experiences have been with Mario Kart wii, doom 3, cuphead, SOMA, Scorn, Stray and a bunch of older 2d and 3d titles. I think it handled these games well. Not so sure it would be the same with “AAA latest and greatest”.

  I thought OG Diablo devs made Torchlight, which is an excellent game.

  Well… saying something is a spiritual successor to deus ex and then saying it is a multilayer title is doing what exactly? Clickbait? In what way is it a spiritual successor then? I dont mind mp, I mind being misled.

  Correlation is not causation. I agree that vidya doesn’t cause crime, but the correlation is not proof of that.

  “Instead of getting rid of the orphan crushing machine, they found out it was easier modifying it to accept CEO’s as well. Now it is an ‘orphan and CEO crushing machine’.”

  Isn’t molten salt just energy storage? Heat up salt when you have excess of energy, take heat out when you need it. The worst disaster there is just the container melting.

  Aaaaaaagh, why cant you talk this way to people?! Life would be so much easier! Why didnt the argument go down well?! Is the cop stupid?! Binary search works! The guy was correct! God damnit, why must people be so unaccommodating, even when proven their accomodating would not take long?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first Pokémon TCG pocket promo set is almost complete with its latest release⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All games are like this. You spend real money for items you can only use in game and not be able to get money back. Gray market aside…

  Diablo 3 tried a real money auction house and we know how that went. Crypto has potential in bridging macro economies to real world economies but that’s not going so well either.

  The ironic thing is, we like it the way it is. Games want to spend money on items they can’t sell back. I dont understand why but it doesn’t matter. I dont partake. You don’t have to either. I play the new pokemon game and don’t spend real money. I get that choice, and for now, I’m happy not giving them anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why people litter in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I distinctly remember a few scenarios where I heard they do. Maybe it’s not can return policy but as scrap metal. This article mentions it, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why people litter in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All you need is a can return policy and some homeless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What is interesting is that streaming gaming has not filled this market space and on device processing is still more favorable. If you think about it the ps5 streaming controller thing is already a portable ps5, they just have to move the processing to their servers. If anything, this tells us streaming is just not there yet for the vast majority and portable consoles will continue to do their own processing for the foreseeable future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo has lowered its Switch forecast after sales fell 31%⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When it comes to playing Hades, Balatro or Brotato, I have had zero issues with the deck. It is literally a console experience there. Verified (green) games will just work and are indictive of a console experience. Playable games (yellow) dont represent a console experience. Small text, having to bring up a keyboard manually, launchers… these things arent something you’d see on a console. Unverified games and emulation require the most tinkering and thats when you really get to experience it as a PC.

  In its default state, playing only verified games, only in handheld mode, without external controllers - the deck is a fine machine and offers a console experience. Dock it to a TV, start using more controllers, fiddle with yellow games and that experience is gone. I absolutely appreciate I have the option to do so and not be locked out of it - thats why im a Deck person and not a Switch one.

  My point is the deck cant replace a switch and the switch cant replace a deck. They complement each other fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo has lowered its Switch forecast after sales fell 31%⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s a console, not a portable PC.

  The switch offers a console experience. Everything just works and works well.

  The deck offers a console-like experience. The majority of PC games work, some may have issues, some may not be suited to the form factor. You can play console games on it but not out of the box.

  I say this as someone who doesn’t own a switch and uses their deck every night. I absolutely see the type of person who would buy a switch and the type of person who would buy a deck. They both have valid points for doing so and I’d never recommend the other device to them.

  They story should have been how a $200m investment into a live service game failed. An investor who knows jack shit about games reads that and now thinks live service games are a risky invetment strategy.
