- Comment on The Black Friday sale for the most popular gaming system on the planet doesn't actually have any games on sale...? 3 weeks ago:
It is, which is why I check on darkpattern.games when finding a new one.
In a similar vein, Slice and Dice is on mobile and well worth it in my opinion.
- Comment on Why are most mobile games trash? 5 weeks ago:
There are some great mobile games out there. A few of my favorites include Dawncaster and Slice & Dice. Personally when I’m looking for a new game I use www.darkpattern.games to check if they are exploitive.

You might tell yourself in retrospect that you consciously made that decision to deepen it and twist it, but with the adrenaline, panic, fear? You instinctually reacted to survive, and the fact you were able to withdraw from the situation before inflicting greater harm is a testament to the fact it wasn’t cruel.

Cruel? Of the places to be stabbed, the belly is probably one of the least severe ones, especially on males, so long as you get medical attention. Stabbing in a limb could result in long term damage much more easily.
You were in the process of being strangled, even if in hindsight you think you did, you weren’t making a choice with any thought of it being cruel or not. There was likely adrenaline at that point, and panic. No one could successfully argue you had the presence of mind to make a conscious decision to be cruel.
I’m sure you’ll have lifelong trauma, and might need to seek therapy if you aren’t already receiving it. It sounds like a part of what you’re experiencing is a form of survivor’s guilt. But no, how you got yourself out of that situation wasn’t cruel.
- Comment on What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever? 2 months ago:
Sounds like you’re describing that you view how he is depicted as a good role model. I think the best way to describe it would just be “I’m atheist/agnostic/etc but view Jesus as a good role model” or something to that effect.
Or just lean into chaos and go with “Jesus is my role model” with no elaboration and let people make of it what they will.

I never claimed the first 9 being unique to his CU was special, just added it as clarification, since you hadn’t read the article.
As for repeating your question, the author has his own explanation as to why (basically came down to bad timing, or in the case of the scammers, good timing).
- Comment on How One Man Lost $740,000 to Scammers Targeting His Retirement Savings 4 months ago:
If you’d read the article, you’d find that he was asked for the last 7 digits of the number, not the full number. He admits he should have found that fishy, but was distracted at the time. Since his bank’s credit cards all have the same first 9 digits, he had just given the scammer the full number.
- Comment on Looks like Subnautica devs have been sneakily posting Subnautica 2 screenshots in the original game 4 months ago:
I haven’t checked in a while, so they may have walked back on this, but supposedly we finally get coop in the next one.
- Comment on TBH 6 was kind of a downgrade from 5 6 months ago:
For future reference, the two hour window is more of a suggestion not a requirement. Just last week I refunded a game with 4 hours.
- Comment on TBH 6 was kind of a downgrade from 5 6 months ago:
I had a friend that played civ, he invited me to multiplayer. Little did I know, he plays against the hardest bots on a regular basis. I had only done like, two single player games.
I don’t play with him anymore.
- Comment on How does affective empathy work with anger? 6 months ago:
For me personally I don’t have much control over my empathy. Sure I can look at someone and glean their emotional state based on conscious guessing, but my “affective empathy” as you put it, is more my brain subconsciously picking up on their emotional state and then sharing it.
For most emotions, including anger, it’s not targeted. Not until I actively participate in the emotion. It’s also not something that applies to everyone and every situation, with my own personal emotions easily overriding the empathetic emotions.
Of course, everyone experiences empathy their own way.
- Comment on Discord: Have you lost access to your email? no worries, just regain access to it! 6 months ago:
I’ve only had to contact them for trust and safety reports and they’ve been pretty responsive, despite usually not telling you the outcome (the outcome is pretty easy to find out anyway). I’m glad I haven’t had to contact them for other stuff though, since I’ve heard it’s a nightmare.

Growing up my parents had a Jesus on the cross statue carved out of coal. Does that count?
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 8 months ago:
Yes and no. A custom kernel with a patch usually referred to as a “ttl fix” can, but a good amount of ROMs have that in their kernel by default.

Still works for me as of last year. Now I use rooted android with ttlfix.

The comment calling spez a pig was originally a solution to a problem, hence the person replying in positively. The comment was edited by a script when the user left Reddit, so the solution no longer is there, depriving those who may be looking.
