- 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. 3 days 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.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode - Release Date Trailer (Jan 23rd) 1 week ago:
You can play it for free sans the newer sprite graphics.
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode - Release Date Trailer (Jan 23rd) 1 week 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+ 3 weeks 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+ 3 weeks ago:
Use Heroic. It’s GPL.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 3 weeks ago:
Just use Heroic launcher to play the free Epic games.
- Comment on Why is Trump orange? 5 weeks ago:
That looks at least 30 lbs too light.
- Comment on Will the price of Freeze Driers go down? (USA question) 1 month 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.
- Comment on Billionaire food app CEO seeks worker willing to pay for job 1 month ago:
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? 2 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? 2 months ago:
Except the rapid real estate inflation started years before COVID. WFH may play a part but it’s hardly a major reason.
- Comment on Please be patient. 2 months ago:
I’m going to have to modify my juicer.
- Comment on Please be patient. 2 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.
- Comment on Please be patient. 2 months ago:
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?
- Comment on A scammer just tried to scam the Kroger pharmacy to get my info out of them by pretending to be my insurance company. 2 months ago:
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 2 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 2 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? 2 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? 2 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" 3 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. 3 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 3 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 3 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? 3 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. 3 months ago:
It’s in the flour not the eggs. Eating raw flour is riskier than eating raw eggs.
- Comment on Self study; Changing my own Biology Successfully 3 months ago:
You’d be better off just writing straight up fiction. Try short stories before diving into novels.
I suggest reading Kafka and Cortazar for more inspiration.
- Comment on No 'Sims 5' Coming as EA Updates Franchise With Multiplayer 3 months ago:
Don’t bother, Meta’s Metaverse is going to blow it away! ~/s~
- Comment on Is Trump Made of Teflon? 4 months ago:
The media wants a fight because fights get ratings and $. It’s in their interest to make both candidates look equally good/bad. This makes them allergic to charges of bias which helps the shittier candidates.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 4 months ago:
So, it’s Roblox for people who like spreadsheets, NFTs and spaceships?
- Comment on Minecraft creators are already trying to fix the Minecraft movie 4 months ago:
I think they looked at Sonic and said, “we just to release a teaser that looks like shit then we improve that graphics a bit and people will be impressed and forgive shitty storytelling.”
