Doesn’t ring a bell. Earwigs have a distinct smell, though.

It always bothered me that all the guards in stealth games noisily trudge around each other, yawning, complaining, coughing, but if they hear a whisper of a footstep coming from you they instantly find it highly suspicious and worthy of immediate investigation. Like, how do they know it’s not just another one of their noisy buddies?

Basically. This is like her thinking of a water molecule and him thinking of a glass of water.
- Comment on Is a Quest 3 really worth it? 2 months ago:
Started with a Rift way back and recently got a Quest 3. As you’re already aware, it comes down to the games you want to play. I’ve invested a bit in a setup for flight simming, because I love helicopters. Because helis are so sensitive, VR actually gives you much better control (it also increases your immersion, obviously). I replayed Half Life Alyx recently, and it’s still great. And then I spend a bit of time in Beat Sabre several days a week. Oh, and there’s a puzzle game where you just use your hands to match a set of blocks to a 3d shape. It’s great not always using controllers. In terms of the quality of VR - it might not have improved enough to ‘cure’ your nausea yet. The quest 3 was a big step up in clarity compared to the Rift, but your peripheral vision is cut off, and it’s still a ways off from normal vision.

I guess Jedi masters consider fish to be a monophyletic group.

I’m sure Denmark has hurt you greatly and will do so again, but the ownership is 60/40 between Sweden and Denmark. PostNord operates the same in Denmark as it does in Sweden.
- Comment on Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before 4 months ago:
Vangers is a postapocalyptic and fundamentally strange top-down driving/exploration/mystery/action-RPG.
It has a unique back story, hostile worlds and an intriguing and expansive vocabulary that helps tell the story. If you are the type of person that appreciates poetic neologisms because they get your brain going, guessing at the etymology and sucking up the layers of connotation, this is up your alley.
Even if you manage to complete the game, you’ll be left wondering whether what happened was even meant to happen. It’s sort of post modern with deconstructed words, rituals and behaviors all jumbled up and muddled together as a result of a great and important event that once had meaning to creatures that may no longer even exist.
- Comment on New Starfield free update added a ground vehicle 4 months ago:
So is your car the only car in the universe? As far as I recall the only form of local transportation has been that miniature train system on New Atlantis. If your own transport ships need to travel to an outpost 200 meters away, they go to space and back to get there.
- Comment on Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Outer Wilds 5 months ago:
I’m really struggling with this game. I got it on sale and played for 3+ hours, but somehow it didn’t grip me. It was really annoying having to constantly start over. Not trying to retract from other people’s experience of it.

I wonder if his memory of ‘seeing in the dark’ stemmed from his pupils being extremely dilated.

- Comment on rounded corners are part of core functionality 8 months ago:
I thought Gnome was all rounded by default. Anyway, there’s a functioning rounded corners KDE extension, if you’re so inclined. I’m using it and it works really well.
- Comment on Genetics 8 months ago:
I am personally okay with that, as this is intended to be a simplification. A simplification by definition can’t include all information. But there’s a difference between omitting information and including misleading information. My problem’s with the latter in this case.
- Comment on Genetics 8 months ago:
This looks misleading to me, because it indicates that grandchildren and their descendants can have very disproportionate amounts of genes from either grandparent.
The genes inherited from a parent do not sit in one continuous chunk, as indicated here.
Instead they are pulled randomly from all over the parent’s genome, and so they end up taking up places all over the offspring’s genome as well.
This has the effect that relatedness is consistently halved through the generations.
