- Comment on Can someone explain the Birds and the Bees to me? I get its related to sex somehow but was never told the story or where it got started or how come a plant and insect? 1 hour ago:
It’s not the origin of the phrase, since it dates back to at least 100 years before television

Jack parr, Tom Snyder, even Craig Ferguson for one experiment, lots of others tried different formats. They’re talking about by far the most common though.

Dude you’re just embarrassing yourself.
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 days ago:
Consoles were also a lot simpler then. And we were finding lots of ways to reduce cost ( chip count reduction, etc) as technology evolved rapidly
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 days ago:
RAM, HDDs, etc are magically not going up in price for them? You think they got some sort of deal that the much bigger manufacturers couldn’t negotiate somehow?
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 6 days ago:
6-8 colder vs 3 hotter but yes they may be different
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 1 week ago:
The last glacial maximum was about 25000 years ago and was 6-8 degrees C colder than today, globally. There was massive change in global climate, populations, etc. And we survived. And that was before we had established technology beyond stone tools, had relatively very limited starting population and organization, etc etc.
For all of our faults we are very good at adapting and surviving. More that nearly any other species.
We’ll survive whatever is coming as a species. Even nuclear holocaust is unlikely to totally wipe us out.

- Comment on Final Fantasy III, IV, VIII and IX are now available on GOG 1 month ago:
Nah, was kind of a joke. I had put off playing FF games for years, and bought X-2 not really knowing FF (was aware of 7) but thinking “it’s the latest one out, so probably the best?”
About 20 minutes in I realized it was probably not the best introduction to the series.
Have played a number since.
- Comment on Final Fantasy III, IV, VIII and IX are now available on GOG 1 month ago:
I’ve played FF X-2, there’s no point in playing another one, right?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 month ago:
I don’t understand the reply. I was replying to the topic. I’m not a fan of Epic either but people are being kinda stupid about some of the justifications for the hate.

Also true, but that’s not what I’m replying to.

Star Citizen I guess. If by “well” it is meant “making lots of money”
But yeah it’s not realistic at all for 99+% of devs/games

It’s still selling, and there are new games still coming out for it. Yes, it will take over.

That was absolutely true for ps2 and DVD. They were trying to recapture it with ps3 and blu ray and with less success.
