  Bits of submersible with dead billionaires? Sand formed by the sudden and thorough crushing of a submersible with dead billionaires? The Logitech F710 aught to be mentioned as well. Of all the things cheap game controllers have endured, utterly destroyed by deep sea pressure is one.

  My kid reassembled an owl pellet and framed it in science class. Looks pretty cool

  There’s this theory that if an infinite amount of Bored Apes make games for an infinite amount of time at one point they’ll make a decent one. I don’t buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will NOT have Denuvo on PC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Denuvo hinders piracy as well, that is to say cracking and redistributing without the devs’ consent. That’s why it has been used in single player games before. Not that I believe it actually has a positive effect on sales, but that’s the rationale.

  At the library I’d say.

  Other tigers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THANK YOU⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This picture is kind of misleading though. Much of the photo’s creepiness comes from mistakenly assimilating the red dots to its eyes. Ants have those big familiar insect eyes we are familiar with. Quote from Snopes:

  This is a closeup of a section of the ant’s face but not the full face. In a text message, Kavaliauskas [the photographer] told us, “This is just the front part of the portrait […] the eyes are already in the shadow area. […] if the eyes are illuminated, all the mystery disappears and the photograph appears ordinary and uninteresting.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Wasting Pumpkins!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait what? US population is 345 millions. How do you even celebrate Halloween that requires three pumpkins per person? Plenty of people don’t even have a porch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colours of Blood⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Woohoo!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colours of Blood⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha they’re called like that because of their shape right? Right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning Botany⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I went on Wikipedia and apparently Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum and its genus Ornithogalum are part of the Asparagaceae family which is known as the asparagus family, not to be confused with the Asparagus genus, of which it is but a subset. Gotta love when they fuck with the people like that.

  No it’s not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Uplifting Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the utmost respect for ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley, I’m happy it’s a success and I’ve played it plenty. I have to say though, there’s something in the game that leads some of us straight into a minmaxing management race-against-the-clock frenzy. I think I could play it casually, but I’d need an unwavering discipline… and that’s the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak sales⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d need to be paid a non negligible amount to try and wring some speck of usefulness out of this thing.

  A beautiful word we learned from the first nations, probably the Wendat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨need helpbuiltding a PC, not sure where to ask⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck assembling, you’ll love PC gaming I’m sure!

  Just in case you don’t know already: pcpartpicker.com is an amazing site to plan a build. You can put all the parts you’re aiming to buy and it’ll tell you if there are any compatibility issues. You can share your parts list with a community too and ask for specific advice.

  Concerning parts, XFX AMD GPUs are very well built and go for a reasonable price. Their 6000 series have great cost/performance value imho. I have a 6750XT in a PC connected to a 55’ TV and it’s hardly breaking sweat provided I don’t go overboard with game settings. For a normal computer screen you could have plenty of fun out of a 6650 XT I’m sure.

  Could you get Amazon delivery from say, amazon.it? It could give you a chance to find what you’re looking for.

  Oh that AIDS. bruh

  What does “live service AIDS” mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Godot fork- Redot emerges after recent events within the Godot project.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That just sounds like any normal day on Twitter. I feel bad for the community managers that still have to put up with that dumpster fire of a platform. This little flame war does nothing to my impression of Godot engine. To be honest I’ve been more worried about reports of rampant bullying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a Tales-like RPG without active combat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pathfinder Kingmaker & WotR are such strong titles in most aspects, but in both instances the mini-game they tacked on top of a perfectly fine RPG got on my nerves. Kingmaker’s management sim and WotR’s Might&Magic-like army battles felt to me pretty rough around the edges (and ultimately tedious), especially compared to how engaging the rest of the games are. Ugh, I love-hate them sooo much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a Tales-like RPG without active combat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only played the two first entries so far (Trails in the Sky FC & SC) and I’ve found them be fun JRPGs. I’d recommend starting by the beginning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a Tales-like RPG without active combat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you played the Trails series?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  falseknees comics aren’t necessarily structured around a big punchline. It’s often more of an animal kingdom slice of life. Here the bird on the left clearly hatched this year since they’re unaware of leaves changing color in autumn. This is isn’t their last surprise, as they’re about to find out what it means to be a migratory bird as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨autumnal hopes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s putting it squarely.

  That’s a 1 month old thread my man :P

  Not sure what you mean. The thread was created August 16, my comment was made August 21, and now here you are replying on September 24. Some fediverse hiccup maybe.

  So anyways I don’t have anything a cursory search wouldn’t turn up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨autumnal hopes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They mean 32°C.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oxygen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trick question. The sun is in the sky (daytime) not in space (nighttime)! As we all know, the higher you are, the less there is oxygen. That is because the sun burns most of the oxygen in the sky. Fortunately plants produce oxygen in the daytime faster than the sun burns it. It’s common sense really.
