- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 6 days ago:
Two possibilities.
1: It’s the calm before the storm. It implies nobody was egging this on. People were simply going on with their lives, when suddenly a thing happens. “Out of nowhere.” It’s a common trope both visually and in writing.
2: It makes autistic people mad.
- Comment on 13 skeletons 1 week ago:
13 skeletons is the max. To raise more you need a Bonelord. 13 Bonelords and you need a Lich. 13 Liches and you need a Titan.
After 13 Titans, 169 Liches, 2197 Bonelords, and 28561 skeletons… you reach Khali.
- Comment on Ubisoft: Microtransactions make games more fun 1 week ago:
An article about microtransactions, riddled with distracting, screen-dominating ads. They used a massive interstitial before the article even began!
I assume the article is praising Ubisoft for their scummy practices? "If you don’t like hundreds of

- Comment on Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers 2 weeks ago:
Asmongold just says stupid things and then only responds to the lowest hanging fruit.
He’ll say we can’t refugees because XYZ, then people will respectfully counter his arguments, but he effortlessly ignores them.
Then someone calls him a loser or makes a silly argument and that’s when he’s “You see? This is the problem.”
Just a circus act for idiots.

- Comment on Subnautica 2 studio begs rioting fans for benefit of the doubt after leadership axed by owner Krafton: 'The team that has been working on the game day-to-day ... remains completely unchanged' 3 weeks ago:
I’d rather have another team try to execute Subnautica. Unforgivable to make a survival game where enemies go through walls, you can fall through your ship, and your save becomes corrupted if you build too much.
It’s a AA game that was rough around the edges. Not much there to make you think “without the original devs the game will be totally wrong.”

Flower petal distribution.
Like a voronoi grid with limited colors, each color a state. Every state would have a bit of everything.
- Comment on Day 342 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I learned to speedrun this but stopped from intense wrist/lower arm pain. I wasn’t great but I could do a sub 20 16 star and pull off breezeless occasionally. Never topless.
It’s still fun to play casually. I have an N64 so I’ll go get all 120 stars every couple years.

- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 5 weeks ago:
The internal explosive may malfunction from an external stimuli, such as a massive bomb detonation near it.
One-point safety sets cutoffs for how much yield can be produced from a malfunction. That’s for countries experienced with nukes who had time to fix their catastrophic failures.
Considering there’s many ways to design nukes, different countries have different technological capabilities, the answer isn’t a squeaky clean “No.” when someone asks if nukes can explode when bombed. Answers should have more gradation. And they shouldn’t imply a nuke in Iran wouldn’t catastrophically fail because sophisticated designs from countries allowed to have nukes have ironed out the wrinkles.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 5 weeks ago:
Yes. The people in this thread are wrong. Bombing a nuke can set it off, just not fully.
A nuke may require many precise detonations to function as intended. When everything goes right it will release it’s full power.
When an external explosion hits the nuke, only some material should activate, causing a relatively tiny explosion. Shouldn’t be any real fallout.
This assumes the designers specifically made the nuke to not go off from one explosion. There’s no rule that says you need to make nukes safe. And people shouldn’t dismiss a partial detonation of a nuke like it’s nothing.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 5 weeks ago:
What is he trying to say? How can something be weird and unique but also consumed by millions of people as a popular product?
If he thinks riding a dragon in modern Tokyo to fight a big naked statue is weird and unique, he’s probably sad that the world has moved on from holding up sporks and going “lol random XD!”
The markets can’t sell Weird™ to the masses. Now there’s no “weird” people making super high budget art. Terrible!
- Comment on How is spontaneous betting (as portrayed by comics and movies) supposed to work? 5 weeks ago:
Each man knows what’s coming to him. He just goes and gets it.
At least when it’s a tight-knit community, there’s not really any logistics. Everyone knows everyone, including the cheats and liars and deadbeats. If someone takes you up on a bet and they win they’ll come get their money, guaranteed.

Duckduckgo is absolute shit. I’m tired of seeing blogspam AI shit. I’m tired of searching for things like “Trump tariffs 2017” and seeing 50,000 articles about what Trump said yesterday. Search engines are shit. It hurts I had to use Google AI for info on “articulation in architecture” because everything else was useless.
- Comment on Anon makes a modern game 1 month ago:
I looked up other comparisons and gameplay before making my comment. I’m just watching short bits but it looks like the new graphics are cooler and have color grading or better color choices, but end up losing the “garish” contrast. I don’t mind a cool palette and slick graphics at all but it’s not what I associate with those fantasy worlds.

What the fuck the new oblivion actually looks like that. First they outlaw levitation then they outlaw saturation.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
Does your comment make sense as a response to my comment?
I’m confused why the devs stuck their head in the jaws of a sue happy monster. I ask, “But what was the point? What did they plan to happen?”
And you tell me Nintendo shouldn’t own mechanics? Like… I know that. I am so used to people misunderstanding me, that I specifically go back and add a huge banner saying “I agree with you.” I can call Nintendo assholes, call copyright broken, paint the devs as good but naive, and I still get “listen here, Nintendo is bad. Copyright is broken.”
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
What the hell is wrong with you? Did I say Nintendo ought to be allowed to drive drunk? Or did I express confusion at why someone stepped in front of the speeding drunk? I’m fucking tired of “oh you defended him? What do you love him?” bullshit.
Sorry I didn’t just shake my magic 8 ball and generate a pithy comment like you (probably) did. Here, I’ll shake my ball and write what comes up.
Nintendo is fucking scum. I want a competitor to Pokemon. Copyright laws are broken. Lawyers! LAWYERS!!
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
I wonder what their plan was – step on the toes of the biggest franchise while operating in one of the many countries with broken copyright laws and then hope for the best while raking in early access money based on an idea that legally can’t exist? Was it being naive and hoping they could just make a fun and successful game and Pokemon would be a merciful god?
