- Comment on Marvel’s Wolverine - Gameplay Trailer | PS5 Games 18 hours ago:
It’s The Wolverine we’re talking about here. If there is any hero that deserves a brawler game it’d be him.
Besides, we’ve also had open world story driven adventure games with Insomniac’s Spiderman games.

Midnight Sun is incredibly boring, though. It’s like 75% VN type crap and maybe 15% actual gameplay.

If it sucks I’ll probably eventually get it through Humble Monthly.
- Comment on Palfarm Trailer - Palworld Spin-Off Game 3 days ago:
So, their take on Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon.
Does this mean they’ll put Palworld on the back-burner like they did the game before they started working on Palworld?
What state is Palworld currently in? Did the physics and AI get more polished?

D section.
All the most interesting flavours come from D section.
There also lies the birthplace of spices. Wars were fought over those pices. The earliest forms of global trade was formed over those spices. Europeans started colonialism largely driven by the need for regular access to those spices.
Do not underestimate the power and value of spices. No other section, as presented here, compares.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 week ago:
In other words:
“We don’t want to put resources towards optimising our product. We don’t care if the methods we built our product with make it more difficult to use, while regressing in several key visual aspects. The burdon of our shortcomings will be placed on the end user, who will have to spend their resources to out-power them.”

Like, does it actually just have candy inside, or is it regular toothpaste with a candy flavour?
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 1 week ago:
If you look into the history of Chris Roberts you’ll know it’s not a scam. Roberts is one of the few creatives I’d say actually needs an executive board to hold him back, because he’ll never stop and actually finish something.
I don’t think there’s a single project Roberts has finished on his own accord. He has always been made to finish.

What an insane and unprecedented surprise.

Not this again…
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 weeks ago:
Do not mix theory with hypothesis. A theory in science is a very big deal and needs a lot to be true in order to even reach theory status (which is why “string theory” isn’t a theory. More like “string idea”).
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 weeks ago:
They’re both the same thing for a different area.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 weeks ago:
The standard model of physics is not implying it has the answer to everything, or that there is nothing new to discover. The standard model of physics is the periodic table for fundamental particles. The bits that make up all the other parts.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 weeks ago:
Right, yeah. That too.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I mentioned anything about landing on other planets… However, engineering and science are closely related.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 weeks ago:
Well, while I agree that things are pretty shit and regressive, let’s not downplay the achievements we’ve had in the past 10 years:
- Completion of The Standard Model of Physics with the detection of the Higgs Boson.
- mRNA technology, which is now a serious candidate for curing HIV, and is potentially capable of being used against most viral diseases.
- Imaging a black hole. Doing it again. Providing more proof of general relativity.
- Measuring gravity waves. Doing it as a normal measurement now.
- Salt batteries are finally reaching the market, which will eventually end the destructive mining and refinement of lithium.
- The James Webb Space Telescope, which was already making breakthroughs and creating new questions within the first 3 months of activation.
- Solar power becoming incredibly cost effective.
- Cybernetic limbs for the physically disabled. Yes, cybernetic limbs.
- Though overused; medication that effectively combats eating disorders.
These are just the ones I know from the top of my head.
- Comment on It's a whole genre! 3 weeks ago:
But Adam Sandler movies just generally aren’t funny either. Like, the jokes aren’t good.
- Comment on It's a whole genre! 3 weeks ago:
Except Ben Stiller doesnt look weird and goofy like Adam Sandler. And his comedy isn’t horrible cringe either.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
We poses the traits to become athletic. Does that mean that someone getting a part of a human makes them instantly athletic?
Yes, extensive training is required for either. Exactly. Thank you. You’ve just made my point.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
Since it’s such an intimate affair, I wonder why they didn’t call it Pon Closs.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
Pon Farr.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
On the contrary; none of the episodes in all of Trek, up until your Voyager episode, states that a Vulcan’s logic and emotional suppression comes from biology. They do the opposite; Vulcans are biologically incredibly emotional and passionate. The Voyager episode doesn’t even go into detail what that biology is either.
It’s just a brain centre, like any other brain centre, that regulates emotion (humans have one too), and through training the Vulcans use to it suppress their emotions. Unless you explicitly choose to ignore all canon that comes before it.
Even within Voyager it is clear that a Vulcan achieves logic and emotional control through years of training, and that before logic and emotional control became part of Vulcan culture, Vulcans were passionate and violent. Do you deny this well established canon?
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
I provided direct references in OP. You decided to ignore them in favour of one selective moment in Voyager.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
… you can’t be selective.
Speak for yourself.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
Based on all of Star Trek. You can see the links above that Vulcans have been extremely passionate, emotional, and violent before their teachings of logic and emotional suppression.
Or you could just continue ignoring all that.
Did you know Humans also have brain centres that exist for logic and emotional regulation?
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
No, but it helps. They weren’t evolved to suppress emotions.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
They very nearly did. Romulans found another way to build their society.
Enterprise explores Vulcans who have rejected the teachings of logic and emotional control, and one of them end up mentally raping T’Pol.
There have been mentioned a huge exodus, or multiple exoduses away from Vulcan, where those that rejected the philosophy of logic wanted to start anew somewhere. Romulus is the only succesful world as a result of that past.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 3 weeks ago:
In Strange New Worlds, Spock turns fully human for one episode. Somehow he struggles with human emotions, as if his biologically Vulcan side was responsible for keeping them at bay, and not years of discipline and training.
In Prodigy, the main character is a genetic amalgamation of alpha quadrant species. He undergoes a treatment to “unlock his genetic potential”, causing his various genetic elements to occasionally become dominant. When the Vulcan genes become dominant, the character is logical and emotionless.
