Lol nope, out of principle I will never pay for this even if I didn’t already hate Google.
It feels so condescending to the user, so unconcerned with their agency that I could never bring myself to support this choice with even a tiny amount of money.

- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 4 days ago:
No, what I like about Farm Together 1 and 2 is they are very focused on the actual running of a farm. It is almost like a realtime boardgame or simple economy simulator, which makes the core gameplay loop immediately salient to anybody. You can pick up a controller, jump in and start helping out on the farm, it is a very simple, relaxed and rewarding gameplay loop and it makes the perfect co-op game because of it.
It isn’t a shallow game either, while the game by no means “hard” in the sense that there aren’t really fail states, figuring out how to create an economy with your farm is a really interesting challenge and the wide variety of unlocks encourage and reward strategizing. The graphics are deceptive, there is a genuine engine building game at the heart of Farm Together 2.

Farm Together 2

The graphics are nice but don’t make them game stand out when it is by far my favorite “build a farm” type game.
Splitscreen co-op and multiplayer is a blast and the game flow is very chill but rewarding.

In morrowind the dwarves are long gone and are believed to have perhaps “receded behind math”, this npc is I believe the only dwarf you can meet in morrowind that is alive though there are dwarven ruins and automatons across morrowind.

- Comment on Scientists push back on climate myths 2 weeks ago:
I am glad this exists but is it rational NOT to directly identify the money, specific people, their motivations and the specific processes they use to undermine Science?
In otherwords, is there any Scientific basis for pretending like this struggle for the future of Science is against a nebulous cloud of misinformation and not against oil companies, late stage capitalism and the ruling class?

- Comment on Scientists Discovered a Creature That Breaks a Fundamental Rule of Biology 3 weeks ago:
“Objectively, ambiguity in the genetic code should be deleterious; you end up generating a random pool of proteins,” Dipti Nayak, senior author of the paper from UC Berkeley, said in a press statement. “But biological systems are more ambiguous than we give them credit to be and that ambiguity is actually a feature—it’s not a bug.”
What a beautiful way to restate the fact that genetics are fundamentally a language for it is the same exact mechanism that imbues human language with power.

- Comment on Throw the baby out with the bathwater 3 weeks ago:
Also speaking for the US, aspects of the civil rights movement and other positive political movements have at times been critically dependent on religious organization… and I have no interests in defending organized religion, I don’t consider myself religious but the reality is much more complex than “religion dumb science smart”.
For one, the concept of evolution and then genetics absolutely supercharged racism and honestly Science had little capability to mitigate it. The 20th century may have gone very differently if Scientific leaders had immediately resoundingly rejected eugenics at an ideological level rather than attempt to differentiate what they studied from "race ““science”” in the details. In otherwords, Science was incapable of equipping the followers of its ideology with the systematic tools to resist fascism and oppression whereas you can easily demonstrate various different religious groups that were instrumental in resisting fascism and oppression.
Religion isn’t the point, from a scientific perspective religion is relevant because people imbue it with belief and that should be respected for the reality that creates, the point isn’t that god exists or doesn’t honestly I think no question could be more boring to a true scientist who would know such questions by definition cannot be answered. A true scientist is also driven by a love for the universe that is around them, and ultimately that isn’t too different than someone who is truly religious at the core of the human experience of it.
Organized religions are always two things, the religion itself and the political structure of the religion and in many cases those political structures can be very hostile to Science, but I do not believe inherently so and I do not believe it is a lack of Scientific thinking that allows the political structures of religion to become hostile towards Science since Science cannot even prevent the internal structures it is built upon from becoming hostile to itself.
It is funny that the more you talk about “science” and the more you talk about “religion” the more universally relevant yet irrelevant the words become, the reality always escapes a single word like that…
- Comment on Foreign tech workers spurn US as if it were a rabid dog 3 weeks ago:
Oh believe me I have also seen precarious tall stacks of rocks that manage to stay standing for much longer than you would expect. Usually it is because they are surrounded by a forest of other much more solid formations of rocks.
Sometimes though I see someone waving to me smugly from a precarious stack of rocks amidst a sea of precarious stacks of rocks and I chuckle to myself and wave back condescendingly and then feel guilty about it.

Thus it can be seen how when industries aren’t mitigated in their self defeating behavior by unions, the associated job market and domestic industry can be driven to collapse and there will be zero ability to slow the process down once it begins spiralling.
Unions, even if you are a super smart techbro you still need them.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 3 weeks ago:
I actually really liked the weird scifish city of GTA2 a lot, it has surprising strange vibes.
It clearly wasn’t the developers strength though, they are far better at making cities that are heavily inspired/woven together from chunks of real places.
In my opinion the game that captures GTA 2 vibes best is Skillshot City previously known as Gene Shift Auto.
Gameplay is fast and fun and it is a genuinely good free to play multiplayer game with fast rounds.
