- Comment on Bridge in US city of Baltimore collapses after ship hits it, sending vehicles into water 7 months ago:
Been across that one. That's terrifying.
- Comment on Amsterdam testing system that can remotely slow e-bikes down 8 months ago:
Is this the same system they use to slow down basically everything at AMS? Like seriously, that's the worst, dirtiest major international airport I've ever had the misfortune of having to use.
- Comment on Where are the good political songs? 9 months ago:
Given that Tiktok is a corporation with likely ties to a government that is not particularly fond of protest, perhaps it is not the best place to find protest music. Having said that, Muse continues to make protest music as they always have. I suppose the problem is that protest music doesn't often get included on music platforms, leaving us with a sanitized version of the musical landscape.
- Comment on 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs 11 months ago:

Yeah, my partner really likes the art but we're both aware that MtG was just the real world precursor to the current micro-transaction culture.

Ah yes. Hasbro, whose executives are raking in millions, have just laid off 1100 people two weeks before Christmas because "they gotta get leaner."
Hasbro, who tried to renege on the OGL.
Unsurprising. A shame they own D&D.
