  Look. I think all AAA companies should do $120 base price for all games. Piracy would have such a boom. Better platforms. many more seeders and good reviews and more freaks hell bent on cracking DRM.

          When horseshoe crabs come up, I always try to mention that they are harvested (and usually killed) for their blood in the most unethical way possible. They basically pump it directly from their (version of) hearts, and as long as they're "alive" when they throw them back in the water, it's counted as ethical harvesting. Usually, they just die a few hours/days later from having their hearts punctured and much less blood available than they'd like.
  

  Also, their blood is wholly unnecessary for medical usage. Medical companies use the amebocyte lysate in their blood to detect endotoxins, but it’s pretty cheap and easy to synthesize amebocyte lysate in a lab without involving crabs. It is only being held back by the FDA because, before we could synthesize it, the blood made people wealthy enough to lobby for the FDA to refuse approval of the synthetic version so they can keep pumping that blue gold. Feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong. I’m not an expert.

  This news site is for PC gaming and it always causes a ruckus when people read their articles and don’t know it.

  One of the few news sites for PC gaming. The regular readers will probably not be primarily console gamers.

  People are trigger happy with the indignation here.

  Sounds right. I’m not an expert but I did a report on him back in college so I’ve got a a little clear info and a little foggy. He certainly isn’t a good guy but he’s almost never represented properly which is a shame. He was no mad scientist but if people celebrated his accomplishments they just wouldn’t have jailed him.

  That’s kind of the way things are done in china imo. It’s kind of a trip visiting and hearing residents drinking the koolaid and pretending to drink the koolaid just to stay safe. I’ve had a few guides with different views on the government. One “extremist” just talked to me about how people are suppressed and the government could be better. Was all about how he’d be locked up and his family doesn’t approve of his views. It’s a different place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least extreme biophysics phd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know that few really care to know more but the situation is much more complicated than the information given. First of all, similar experiments have been done in china with the scientist being celebrated. The scientist He Jiankui was mostly condemned because of the media and public condemnation. His goal was eliminating HIV in the children of HIV positive parents (something so heavily stigmatized in China that you are ostracized and not even allowed to have a child via sperm washing) and he was successful! His methods were unethical but honestly pretty standard for China and he definitely acted in a manipulative manner towards the parents. But this situation in reality has nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with optics. He was jailed because the ccp cares far more about china looking good than one man. More experiments with even worse ethics continue and you’re punished not based on your actions but how people feel when your studies go public.

  Don’t listen to him. The spoiler tag is freedom my friend. Use it and use it well for whatever the fuck you want. Abuse it harder any time someone complains. “It felt mildly suggestive.” “Someones crotch was in frame.” “I get an erection when I see this picture and wanted people to be wary”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Ads Sneak Into Your Favourite Games⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather premium games didn’t take money from unrelated companies to modify their games in any way. Not unless they’re sharing the ad profits they’re making off me with me or using it to offset the price of the game for consumers. But I am violently anti-ad.
