These are real units.
One is 6 minutes, 5 seconds and the other is 5 minutes, 2 seconds. - Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 4 days ago:
I actually figured he must have had a more experienced horse along with the zebras to sort of lead the carriage. I know its done with dog sleighs, but not sure about horses.
- Comment on Anon goes to Japan 4 days ago:
Nintendo did it to control their three markets. JP games came earlier and Nintendo carefully planned when games were available in each market. They also did it cause some regions were cheaper and they didn’t want anyone not paying NintendoTax™.
People will argue Switch 2 isn’t region locked, but I’ll be fucked if Japanese only language in JP Switch 2 isn’t a region locking mechanism. That thing is half off in Japan compared to EU. Maybe its not a traditional lock but they’re doing selective exclusion.

There’s some accounts throughout history, but humans generally leave them alone. They’re aggressive creatures surrounded by even more aggressive killing machines. So it stands to reason that an animal in that environment would be pretty tough to tame. Image

Yup. When it expires, its done for. When it’s past the best by date, it just means it’s best days are over. Much like my own.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 6 days ago:
Ive lost the kind of romanticism i had for gaming as a kid, so I dont really fall in love with games anymore. Im also generally self aware enough to stop playing before I start hating a game. I may get sick of a genre, leave it be and return in 5 years.
Reading the title of this post though, the first game that came to mind was gta. Last time I played gta V was on the 360 when I 100% the campaign and I didn’t really feel the same way as I did for IV. You might say I fell out of love with gta, as a franchise. This after having playednand loved all of them in the 15 years before V launched.

Modern society is telling me I need to take melatonin.
I tell modern society I make my own melatonin, and sleep perfectly fine because my lights are warm in the evening. - Comment on Norway anon pirates 3 weeks ago:

…sure… - Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 3 weeks ago:
I have a very broad taste, so I play it all… except sports games. Usually stop before the 200h mark for all games. I think that’s the division I see the most: gamers who play it all and sports gamers. There’s niche subdivisions like people who stick to one genre or old games only but I can relate with them because… I play it all.

Monster Rehab was my favorite. It was basically tea with a bunch of other nasty things. Not carbonated, didn’t smell like perfume. I loved it.

I agree, just without the religious dogma… I’m a person, its a tool… I don’t need a tool tanking me and I don’t need to thank a tool. That’s it.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"? 4 weeks ago:
Digital (as in data) has the ability to be easily copied, modified, searched, encrypted, transferred. Making a backup is trivial and virtually free, with less of an environmental impact.
Digital data always ends up being held on something physical which can be destroyed with the same processes as analog data can - except the digital storage medium can be more resilient to some external factors while being vulnerable to some extra ones which analog is not. In other words: a little bit of fire will not destroy a hard drive, but will burn paper easily. An EMP will destroy a hard drive but do nothing to paper. Both can be protected for either case to a certain degree.
Make backups of data you don’t want to lose (digital or analog). Don’t make the mistake of thinking one is more secure than the other. - Comment on Is geolibertarianism left wing or right wing? 5 weeks ago:
Centrist economic policy (no hard one way position on economy), libertarian social policy (little government). Hard to say really… what would you call a system which advocates workers rights while also supporting a free market?

- Comment on He took it literally 1 month ago:
You tell them you want your lawyer and you will not answer any questions until you see them. Your lawyer will tell you how to proceed.
If the police have nothing on you and wanted to fish something out of you, your lawyer will get you free. If the police have something against you and are pursuing further, your lawyer will inform you of what your options are. But generally, this is when you’re going to have to deal with this shit. It doesn’t matter if you did it or not at that point, but a lawyer will be your best bet to make it out on best grounds - whether that is get out free or with the smallest fine/sentence.
Just know:- if the police has something on you, and you did it, its game over, a lawyer may help ease the price you pay
- if the police has something on you, and you didn’t do it, its an unfortunate situation, a lawyer may help ease the price you pay
- if the police has nothing on you, and you did it, though unethical, a lawyer will get you off free
- if the police has nothing on you, and you didn’t do it, a lawyer will get you off free

Wait, is this true? Should we do daily bloodletting into the toilet to lose weight? Or are we counting the blood as calories… since they technically are?

hears loud banging and glass shattering on the stairwell, as a 70 pound monitor tumbles and rolls down the stairs while 20 year old dust off the magnetron fills the air …its junk now.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 months ago:
The post is mocking a language, not the people who speak it. It may be in poor taste, but its not racist.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 2 months ago:
It’s called a creole language. An even simpler version is a pidgin language (there’s an example posted in one of the comments). Creole is usually a more evolved pidgin. Developed by children of creole speakers.

My point is, you should try it and play with him, because it’s legos and everyone understands legos and has an imagination waiting to be awoken.

Meh, minecraft is not so bad. Its pretty much legos. Did it change much? I played it in beta and never since.
