They can be used for playing the video game.
- Comment on First Image of Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' 4 days ago:
I like Matt Damon as an actor, generally. But, I just don’t see him as Odysseus. His voice, demeanor and look just don’t fit. I feel like this is more to throw a famous actor in the title role to draw crowds.
The character is bigger than any actor. It’d be great to see an unknown/lesser known actor in the role.

Genetic aestheticians.
- Comment on In the 1985 movie Teen Wolf, when Scott Howard turned into a teen wolf, would he have had a human penis or a wolf penis? 1 week ago:
And it was awesome.
- Comment on In the U.S. in the 1980s, kids were told by this PSA that their teeth needed exercise, so they should chew crunchy food. 5 weeks ago:
Dentists. Because it’s true. It helps produce saliva which helps with plaque. It also exercises your jaw muscles. They emphasize crunchy vegetables and fruits which are plain healthy.

You can play it for free sans the newer sprite graphics.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode - Release Date Trailer (Jan 23rd) 1 month ago:
You take the role of a single character to explore the whole world. You can take quests, follow rumors, explore fortress mode forts that you made, etc. Combat is controlled directly, you can target individual body parts with wrestling or weapon attacks. And more.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 1 month ago:
That looks nice but it looks like it’s for Windows- only. Heroic is cross-platform.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 1 month ago:
Use Heroic. It’s GPL.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 1 month ago:
Just use Heroic launcher to play the free Epic games.

That looks at least 30 lbs too light.
- Comment on Will the price of Freeze Driers go down? (USA question) 2 months ago:
Not necessarily. Most backpacking is going to be down in areas close to fresh water sources and you’d be bringing a water filter.
Hiking/camping where you can’t easily find fresh water is quite risky.

His competitors should pay a series people to take the job and waste his time, aggravate him, cause scandals, etc.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 3 months ago:
He had pretty much that his first two years. Maybe not the judicial branch, totally. But, he had both chambers of congress. They could have done a lot but didn’t because of incompetence, a little dissent and fear of electoral reprisals.
Now, they’re more organized and possibly more unified behind the rat-fucking that’s planned.
If they move too fast they’ll lose the House in two years. If they slow boil, we’ll all be cooked before we know it.
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 3 months ago:
Except the rapid real estate inflation started years before COVID. WFH may play a part but it’s hardly a major reason.

I’m going to have to modify my juicer.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 months ago:
Maybe, because we can measure the number of protons and neutrons with an ion accelerator? I don’t know if the something similar can be done with electrons.

So, if route all of the electricity in my house through my body, how far can I travel in time? What about a car battery’s worth?

HIPAA is about disclosure of personal medical details not about what phone numbers to call.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 arrives in Early Access in 2025 with 4 player co-op 4 months ago:
Both previous games definitely had MacOS ports or I’ve been hallucinating for hours in front of my computer monitor. They also had Switch and PlayStation ports.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 arrives in Early Access in 2025 with 4 player co-op 4 months ago:
Are MacOS and Linux ports confirmed? So far, it just says Xbox and (Windows) PC.
- Comment on 12 Years and $700 Million Later, What's Going on With Star Citizen's Development? 4 months ago:
That’s not how you calculate profit. Their revenue might exceed their costs so far but they have to keep spending. The game isn’t done and it costs money to just keep the lights on.
Look, I don’t know their financials. I’m just correcting what you claimed and pointing out what the article is claiming which is that their spending appears to be outpacing their revenue.
- Comment on 12 Years and $700 Million Later, What's Going on With Star Citizen's Development? 4 months ago:
As of 2022, according to its financials, the company has spent $637 million on development, with 2020 – 2022 averaging over $106 million a year. Assuming that the company continues spending around $100+ million a year, it doesn’t take a mathematician to realize that the $790 million raised so far at the time of writing is on the verge of, or has likely, run out.
No, the article is claiming $700M in development costs—based on $637M spent by 2022–and $790M raised. They’re speculating that the company is going to run out of money soon.
- Comment on I don't know what part of this headline depresses me the most: "52-year-old worked 90-hour weeks in an oil refinery to save money for his business—now he's worth $9.5 billion" 4 months ago:
All catholic schools in the USA are private. That doesn’t meant the kids at them are privileged economically. There’s lots of working class families that scrounge and save to afford them and poor people that go tuition-free.
- Comment on A first look at Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt in The Electric State. Directed by the Russo Brothers. Coming 2025. 4 months ago:
I’m kind of tired of all these actors, especially in something with such a unique style. Let the story and robots stand out with some solid actors that aren’t in every other movie.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress to get Lua support for modding, plus there's now babies and children 4 months ago:
It always had babies and children, they’ve added graphics for them now.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 4 months ago:
The sale was on July 1–almost 3 months ago— and the price was lower than on the day the lawsuit was announced.
- Comment on Favoirte indepth youtube channels? 4 months ago:
I really like what they do but mostly find them unlistenable. If you don’t enjoy listening to people just chatting and making lots of—often bad—jokes in the middle of the narrative, this podcast is not for you.
If you don’t mind that, they do a great job of deep diving into the history of despicable people.
- Comment on I don't understand why underbaked borderline raw cookies are such a popular trend. 4 months ago:
It’s in the flour not the eggs. Eating raw flour is riskier than eating raw eggs.
