- Comment on What are your favorite RPG maker games? 1 week ago:
Demons Roots is probably the best RPG Maker game I’ve played that was actually playable as an RPG. (So, not counting things like To The Moon which other people have already mentioned.)
I wasn’t a fan of most of the sexual content in Demons Roots, but taking the whole thing as basically a giant love letter to fucked up doujinshi stories – i.e. to unpolished indie writing with wild genre bending plot twists in addition to the hentai stuff – I can accept it for what it is. The game has that RPGMaker wabi-sabi; it’s not especially well-crafted software… but the combat was OK (unlike a lot of indie RPGs), the music was good – a mix of original and mostly well chosen asset packs (I still listen to some of it occasionally!), and, without getting into spoilers, it did a couple of very memorable things…
- Comment on Micron to boost DRAM output with $1.8bn chip fab buy 1 week ago:
By “legacy” they probably mean that they work with the older process technologies, not that the fab itself is old:
In its May 2024 ’Hooray, we’re open!’ announcement, PSMC said it invested more than NT$300 billion (US$9.5 billion) on the facility, and that it had capacity to produce 50,000 12-inch wafers per month under 55, 40 and 28 nanometer technology nodes.
Those kinds of chips are still very useful for things like cars and washing machines and such where you don’t need bleeding edge chip tech.
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 1 week ago:
Most games have trophies designed by some corporate drone and consist of a handful of trophies giving for completing the storyline and the rest for token actions that you’ll inevitably do while playing.
Those are basically just publicly accessible analytics for how far people typically get in a game.

As others have noted, you can use the

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 month ago:
Yes, and they’re often used together.
Celery is cold tolerant and can be grown/harvested in winter, IIRC. That might also be a factor in why it’s prevalent in soups?

I haven’t gotten around to playing either of them yet myself, but Nine Sols and Astro Bot also come to mind as titles that got a lot of attention.

- Comment on Pornhub is urging tech giants to enact device-based age verification 2 months ago:
How is device-based age verification different?
You put your device in child safety mode, and it tells sites “I’m a kid, treat me like a kid” – otherwise the site can assume you’re an adult with full rights. Done. No intrusive ID requirements. No face scanning. No third-party payment shakedowns. Parents, in theory, can still stop their five year olds from accidentally accessing PornHub or other content that would disturb them by just clicking a button when they set up an account on the device.
It’s, frankly, the sane way to do this if we’re going to have age restrictions.

- Comment on The osu! Open Source Client, Lazer, Has Been Made the Default Download Option for New Users 2 months ago:
I did do the tutorial (after fucking up the first time through the initial setup and only getting the recommended songs and going “?!?!?!” for a moment) so I know about Z/X but what I mean is it’s not entirely clear if I’m supposed to keep holding them while dragging. The UI’s clear enough if I missed entirely, but if I kind of got it, I’m not really sure if I’m doing it right. With the reversals and the circle closing-in timing and a lot going on on the screen visually, it’s a bit much all at once. TBF, it’d probably make sense if I spend more time poking at it; those were my initial impressions.
Thanks for trying to help me, btw, with your comment; always appreciated.
- Comment on The osu! Open Source Client, Lazer, Has Been Made the Default Download Option for New Users 2 months ago:
I’ve seen recordings of people playing this before in stream VODs a couple times before the player fired up another game, and, well, this post finally got me to try it.
The on-ramp for new players trying to make sense of it is, uh, not great. Trying to make an account on the website tells you to download the game. Okay… Trying to make an account in the game then sent me back to the website!? (Why not just let me register on the website in the first place?)
The basic idea of the circle mode is easy enough to understand – although I doubt I will ever get very good at this, at least with a mouse, and I’m still not quite sure on whether or not I’m supposed to hold a key down/click-and-drag or just click and then follow the motion? – but there are other modes that it threw me in (mania?) when I tried loading another song from the catalog and it was rather difficult to even figure out what keys I was supposed to push. (The diagram on the wiki was not helpful – I spent a while confused thinking I was supposed to use ASDF for a “4K” when it seems like it’s actually DFJK for some reason?) Probably all makes sense to someone who’s been playing it for years, but, yeah… Pretty UI, but the on-boarding could use some work.
Might be fun to poke around at for music discovery though.
Anyway, that’s my 2 cents worth from giving it a try.

Don’t put them in until they are ripe. Once they are the right level of ripeness for you, you can extend them being in that state for several days by putting them in the fridge.
- Comment on Just opened a new jar of jam, only to find mold in it. 2 months ago:
Call the manufacturer – if it’s commercially produced, there’s usually a number on the jar somewhere. I’ve done that when I bought cereal that had a badly sealed bag inside and got sent coupons worth more than the cost of the item for taking the trouble to report it.

Yeah; @Sxan@piefed.zip uses þ a lot to mess with people trying to train LLMs off the Fediverse, IIRC, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else using it regularly.
- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 3 months ago:
The Expression Amrilato is a VN that’s mostly in Juliamo (i.e. Esperanto with some modifications like a custom alphabet). It’s mostly an Esperanto tutorial though with an isekai yuri plot.
Disney’s Atlantis had a custom conlang specifically made for it, but IIRC the dialogue was mostly in English still.
- Comment on If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories? 3 months ago:
This was my grandfather’s axe; the head’s been replaced twice and the handle three times since he owned it.
It’s the same pizza we had last week. / Eww! Shouldn’t you have gotten rid of it by now? / No – I mean, it’s just got the same toppings! We ordered it last night!
If you could swap memories with another person, which body is “you”? Well, that depends on what the meaning of the word is is… Mr. President.
An annoying amount of philosophy “problems” are really just equivocation about different kinds of equivalence.
These ramblings brought to you from my aging – though not yet lost – memories of long hours of procrastination during my sophomore year in college…
- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 3 months ago:
I went to a lot of different schools growing up. Some of them were not-very-well-funded public schools, but others were international schools for expats and private US schools – some of which might qualify. Most of the schools I went to had a cafeteria with a typical “go through the line with a tray and get whatever they cooked that day in bulk” kind of system. Some of them also had a store where you could buy snacks, prepackaged sandwiches, and such. I remember bringing lunch from home a lot – either sandwiches or leftovers from dinner the previous night, usually. One of the schools was so small it didn’t even have a real cafeteria for us and all the students (6th~8th grade in the US system) brought lunch from home and ate on fold up chairs in the multi-purpose room every day. I also went to a boarding school for a couple years. That one had a cafeteria system too – but the students were pressed into working on a rotation schedule (wiping down tables, cleaning dishes, and such – I don’t remember preparing any of the food). I don’t recall anything particularly outstanding one way or the other about the regular lunches there, but that one had periodic formal dinners (once a month or so, IIRC) where I had to get dressed up (e.g. put on a tie) and they broke us up into small groups of students and teachers. I remember those being stressful, but also having better than average food.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 3 months ago:
You can get huge HDDs for about $15~20/TB (US) right now – possibly even better priced if you spend more than the 30 seconds I did looking. You can get up to 30TB in a single disk now if you really want.
I have hundreds of games I’ve bought on GOG over the last decade or so. I have a copy of the offline installers for every single one of them, and they can fit on a single HDD. Literally the first thing I do when I buy a game is download the offline installer so that it’s mine forever.
If you give a shit about preserving the games you bought and don’t do the bare minimum of downloading the offline installer for what you paid for… that’s not a problem with GOG; that’s on you.
