That user has a sick UI theme, though!

White bread is not inherently ugly/disgusting, so this is one that genuinely can go either way.
But if some rando calls me “white bread”, I’d assume it’s a race-based insult, along the lines of “cracker”.
- Comment on Which timezone would win in a conflict? 2 days ago:
I suppose that would help, but I’d assume that most nukes are still in the continental US.
- Comment on Which timezone would win in a conflict? 3 days ago:
Nah, Europe ain’t shit. I bet the US east coast timezone could beat all of GMT+1 alone even without using nukes.
Nukes kind of create a conundrum, though, because they’re pretty much the reason why the big powers stopped direct warfare between each other. If China, Europe and the US had an outright war, those nukes would probably start dropping, and then everybody loses, but also, it’s kind of difficult to truly know how good a country is at nuclear warfare. GMT+1 is certainly going to lose this, though, each of the 4 US timezone could probably nuke it into oblivion, especially since e.g. Germany already has US army bases that are equipped with nuked on its own ground. But how many nukes China actually has and how good the US’s missile interception systems are? Who knows, maybe they’re just that much better. Though even if the US were theoretically stronger, they’re divided into 4 timezones, and it’s not a given that they’ll automatically ally with each other, which again gives China a huge advantage.

As a non-native English speaker, sometimes it really feels like the language is just making fun of us.

Steam did pretty much fulfill the promise of cheap digital games. Though we’re definitely fucked once they (or the game publishers) decide to fuck up their ecosystem or just not do the really big discounts anymore.

Or they could have gone with the actual japanese word for ruby instead of picking one that sounds identical to a real-world currency that is not gem-based.

TBH I’m still not sure this is Limp Bizkit and not just Fred Durst posing with Linkin Park for a photo.

I wish I didn’t.

Deaf tones, and “def” is a slang abbreviation for “definitive” which is used to express something like “awesome”, “great”.

As a gameplay abstraction, it’s fine IMO to make everyone accept silver coins. It’s not that far from reality, certainly closer than using gold as the base currency.
- Comment on Anon makes games 1 week ago:
Or just don’t give common items like cheese healing properties. Healing potions are perfectly normal features of fantasy games, and even in a more realistic setting you can use herbs, bandages and disinfectants to heal instead of standard food items.

Even today, 1 oz of gold is worth 82 oz of silver!

- Comment on Anon makes games 1 week ago:
Wait, they call it “rupee” but it somehow doesn’t relate to the currency of the most populous state in the world, whose currency is literally called “rupee”, which is etymologically related to silver, not ruby?

Maybe it’s just a linguistic holdover from when they did have a monarch!

WTF are you talking about, even if they inserted random letters instead of thorn and eth the comments would still be perfectly readable.
- Comment on Anon plays GTA V 1 week ago:
“no respawns” is kind of a big deal when you “have absolutely no inhibition now” … the entire reason why social interactions are easier in games is that you can always try again, plus unlike real life, games generally provide pre-defined dialog options and many games don’t even have a charisma stat that might make you just fail an option by performing it badly.
- Comment on Anon plays GTA V 1 week ago:
Maybe anon is shortsighted and doesn’t wear good glasses. Also, the fidelity and realism might be better than GTA V, but you could argue that GTA V has prettier design, which might be lumped in with “graphics”.

I don’t want to live in a society that encroaches on interpersonal relationships enough to outlaw large age differences between romantic partners who are all consenting adults.
- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 1 week ago:
Decrypting on the client. Create an encrypted container on the server (e.g. with gocryptfs), mount the drive on the client, decrypt the container and mount the decrypted container as a drive.
- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 1 week ago:
I find that decrypting locally is piss-easy, you only have to do it once on mounting the drive. Maybe not if you use shitty devices like smart TVs.
- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 1 week ago:
And the encryption you hopefully put on your files.
