Do you think resuscitating him would go well (it mostly doesn’t anyway)? So don’t dismiss that option.
- Comment on Is it the American way to complain about the US, or is it that other countries aren't worth complaining about? 2 days ago:
Everyone had complaints about their own country. It might not be all conveniently on one platform or online at all. Or it might even be forbidden or negatively impact your social score.
Anyhow. Still it’s highly important to see on which level the complaints are. Currently comparing the US with the EU for example, I’m sorry, but the US is in some deep shit. Yes, over here we also have some (some even related) issues but your pre-trump situation was not all that hot to begin with, as a citizen) and went downhill fast now. It’s highly likely the US will turn into some once-important but then irrelevant country.

‘pizza time’! (sample from… The arcade I think?)
Don’s is the worst though.
- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 4 days ago:
No Eierköpfer is a safe bet against OP’s issue. I’m now quite old and still don’t know when it happens. They just peel like shit.
Can be new, old, boiled shorter or longer, boiled with water or steam, shock cooled or not.
Sometimes it happens and is infuriating.
Ah yes and the opening method is unrelated.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Yeah, and apologize to those that tried to convince you it’s a bad idea in the first place.

In Germany this went reaaaallly awesome. First, some years back we had this with the shit bikes and it turned out to be a burden on all and there are massive bike dumps in China.
Then a while later we allow the same with scooters.
And as usual, some people with shit asshole behavior messing it up for everyone.
The other thing I do not get in my head is using public space for business. If I can’t just do that companies should be forbidden too.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 1 week ago:
Well anarchism and society kind of don’t work together by principle imo…

Seriously, an organization that does this?
Wtf man. I understand protecting animals and going vegan. But stuff like that is just over the top and revolting. And I don’t even care much about cooking mama, which is / was a game ffs.

No
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 3 weeks ago:
Also adds to this on multiple levels, yes. Eyesight for one but also with lower resolution the developer had to focus on what to display.

You’ve got a good point there that I am also often making when talking about gaming and maybe also trying to present gaming to non gamers.
There is so much implicit stuff grown over decades that for some series the barrier of entry is almost impossible for newbies. Be it the control scheme of some fifa or the complexity of a strategy game that just has to surpass its predecessor, not many developers consider this. Sometimes it’s even part of a reason for downfall.

Achtung! Snel! Snel!
The stereotypical Indiana Jones German 😁
- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 3 weeks ago:
Not raising the education of the public is an easy control method and also easily keeps up the myth of the USA being such a great country while completely obviously contradicting itself.
- Comment on That's the feeling. 3 weeks ago:
By the way Microsoft was going the last 10 years you’ll have exactly your first paragraphs work on windows too, anyhow.
I am still running windows on a gaming only device but I am regularly amazed at the amount of effort that goes into breaking things.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 4 weeks ago:
Idgaf about achievements. It always was a scattered mess and (imo) epeen length comparison. I play for the experience and fun of it.
Ymmv. Have fun however you’re having it!
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 4 weeks ago:
Trying to only establish proprietary media in the past, mostly ignoring open standards.

Me too! What should we do??

Short-sighted.
Sorry.

There is no reliable scientific proof. Thread end.

I was on your side for a long time until I found awesome fitting and sounding ones.
- Comment on It makes me shudder 1 month ago:
Yeah, sugar intake, I’m aware of that and fighting for a long time. But no, it’s officially no drug, hrhr. Fun stuff to look up, the sugar cartel.
Anyhow, my condition is okay but I’ve got too many neurological issues which basically make it impossible to read my own body, so that’s there, too.
- Comment on It makes me shudder 1 month ago:
Thanks, I found out that was the case whan I played mmorpg and assumed some bad English speakers were not native speaking, but they were. Interesting thing in fact.
Still, some things are lost with specific wording or also culturally - worst of all are the things that seem identical but are different (not the average false friends stuff).

Hm, maybe I should keep some dextrose on me then.

Erm, late for me to learn but if so: shaking is a symptom from having to eat?

Apologies, I’m not natively English so that might pose language and cultural understanding issues (additionally) 😁
