- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 10 hours ago:
I think the issue has s largely been explored and solved but I’d like to add something to the mix.
Complexes have hot water pipes running from the water heaters on the lowest floor up to all the suites. Usually they are stationed somewhere around the center of the main building, sandwiched between a commons hallway wall and an apartment wall.
The amount of heat that these can radiate is insane, especially if there’s a hot water circulation system in the building.

No I’m not dancing to the music in your head, sorry.
- Comment on Nintendo discontinuing Gold Points on the Switch eShop, ahead of Switch 2 release 1 day ago:
Bro I started my professional game development career in 1996 and retired in 2015. I played video games in the early 70’s that existed before Pong. My father had one of the 5 supercomputers in the world in the meteorological service of Canada, where I used to hang out with nerds that would let me play with shit, and play the games they made when they weren’t modeling weather. I have studied nothing in my entire life more than the tapestry of what we call game development. So kindly stop.

- Comment on are terfs actual feminists or do most transphobic women just call themselves that? 1 day ago:
Just chiming in here with some random nonsense. I am now 50, I have never once met someone who self-identifies as feminist who’s actually about equality, they’re actually scared, hate-filled people.

This is one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever heard really Rre video games, no country has produced more innovation in the space than the Japanese.
- Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 1 week ago:
My friend, you deserve (I don’t know) some money or maybe a cupcake with like really nice frosting for this comment.
- Comment on How alarmed should I be to see stool in my blood? 3 weeks ago:
It’s actually normal to have occasional blood discharge in stool.
It’s more about frequency and color. If it’s dark red clogs you need to get medical attention right away, if it only happens once and it’s a little bit just don’t worry about it.
- Comment on Is this “normal bratty” behavior or a sign of a mental health condition? 3 weeks ago:
That’s not narcissism, don’t take diagnoses from people in comment sections.
This is a severe self-esteem issue that manifests itself as inflated ego.

Coffee candies were promoted to acclimate children to the taste of coffee (and the bitter caffeine molecule)!

- Comment on Do cats have intrusive thoughts about eating their humans? Conversely, do cats get scared of humans eating them? 3 weeks ago:
Oddly, cats often look at yawning as a relaxation cue. Creatures that yawn are not under stress, and a cat seeing you yawn can help regulate it’s mood
- Comment on What are some actual good *sour* sour candy? 4 weeks ago:
I buy citric acid powder and sprinkle it on things
- Comment on How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's? 4 weeks ago:
I was there, it was more like understanding that the internet was a new way to offer literally every service, and everyone was in a scramble to do that, but because nobody had ever built those things before, we really didn’t know how!
So much of what is taken for granted in today’s tech age was being cobbled together with love tape and bubblegum back then.
- Comment on After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game 5 weeks ago:
I was a professional developer in a wide range of gaming areas for about 20 years… Looking back, I can honestly say that 95% of the work I did ended up as a vapor… The 5% that made it to market were so fleeting…
I derived my satisfaction not from completing projects, but solving the underlying problems. That kept me very engaged.
But yeah, not everybody sees things this way.
- Comment on There's fucking ads in board games now 1 month ago:
I do a 20 minute quick-rise, then 5-10 minutes kneading, then 45 minute rise. A quick fold-over then another hour rise. Usually it’s ready to bake, and at that point I weigh and portion. Sometimes another rise if conditions require it. I cut it with a plastic edge, put the blobs of dough on a cookie pan covered with shrink-wrap so as not to dry out, and when frozen I bag them up.
- Comment on There's fucking ads in board games now 1 month ago:
Dough is a great discussion topic to explore.
Once I learned to make dough, I realized it’s actually a total of 10 minutes work distributed over 4 hours. Reorganize and re-prioritizing my time made it work. Simple planning.
If I make dough, I make 2Kg so I cut it up, freeze the chunks I wont be immediately using and I have dough for as long as I need. Why make new dough every time? Batches.
It’s way simpler than you guys think. Scoffing is fun, but getting off the “convenience train” was the best thing I ever did. Requires a bit of upfront adjustment and learning, but change isn’t free.
- Comment on There's fucking ads in board games now 1 month ago:
In full forensic accounting, you MAKE money by getting off the “convenience” train.
Once you realize that a checkerboard costs $5 but a piece of paper and 24 pennies costs… well nothing… it starts to make more sense. Because most stuff in life, you use once then throw away or stuff into the closet and never think about again.
- Comment on There's fucking ads in board games now 1 month ago:
I just don’t anymore.
I don’t buy a wire- or mechanical- puzzle I make one. If I want a tile-based game (think scrabble, qwirkle, rummy) I make them with upcycled junk and paint markers.
I don’t buy bread or pizza crusts or tortillas, I make them. I can make a month of bready products in an optimized hour of work for 1/30th the price.
I play indie games by inexperienced developers who charge $4.99 because I’d rather try new mechanics even if they fall flat.
I’m currently precipitating copper into an aqueous solution on my stovetop and later I’ll try electroplating the copper onto some random thing. Because this is free and fun AS FUCK. Forget going to the arcade or to a pre-packaged event show or movie.
I am just drifting away from everything that’s not hand made. Fuck it already.

- Comment on Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description? 1 month ago:
There’s lots of different approaches, but I’ve had the same problem.
Steam lets you exclude tags, but they limit how many tags you can exclude so it’s basically a useless feature.
I go to steamDB and it has a ton of sorting options, including being able to exclude “Lovecraftian”, “visual novel”, “dating*”, etc
There’s also a great browser extension for Firefox which is my preferred browser. It enhances the Steam homepage (depending on how you configure it) and lets you do lots of things like quick-sell cards and other stuff.

Let’s see… what other words are in the Financial Incompetants’ Guide to Life… ok here’s something that sounds cooL WRITE OFFS!!!1
- Comment on american culture 1 month ago:
The world is awash in morons and they aren’t localized to that venue, although by way of it’s very structure, it’s a venue that strongly attracts people incapable of holding two thoughts at the same time.
As G Carlin would have said, think how stupid the average person is and realize 50% are stupider than that. This is the world we live in - where the trivial thoughts emerging from society’s dreck take have equal stage and prominence to expertise and wisdom

Take the numbers from the numbered boxes, and transpose them into the numbered boxes on the tax form. There, you know how to do taxes, what are we gonna do with the other 13 years of your pre-college education?

I can tell you don’t cook.
- Comment on The Hot Dog Class 1 month ago:
Yeah I should have clarified. Steaming meat in pastry forgoes the Maillard reaction so it ends up as a roll of bland ingredients that have been “wasted” in the sense they didn’t at all live up to their flavor potential.
- Comment on The Hot Dog Class 1 month ago:
Ok so Beef Wellington is made with an actual BEEF muscle and hotdogs are made with PORK and pork fat pureed and jammed inside a casing. Beef Wellington is topped in mushrooms and mustard then wrapped in a wheat-flour pastry, while Corn Dogs are just battered in a sugary Corn Slurry.
This is such a stretch lol
- Comment on The Hot Dog Class 1 month ago:
Have you had tenderloin beef? Have you had pastry? You know what it tastes like and no, you’re not missing anything unless you think boring unseasoned bland meat is good.
