I’ll put it on the pile for things I should do (checking vitamin levels is already there TBH).
- Comment on Anon is a PC gamer 1 day ago:
I know. The ones who would do it in response to hardware shortages are mostly already doing it anyway. The ones who don’t, won’t.
- Comment on Not gonna lie, I kind like it 1 day ago:
Can confirm, I feel old and tired all the time. Not gonna fuck around (in a bad way) with my partner. Unfortunately, I’m also not gonna fuck around much in a good way, because I feel old and tired all the time.
- Comment on Anon is a PC gamer 1 day ago:
Can’t see either of these happening in the near future, TBH. They just failed making cloud gaming happen after pouring tons of resources into it, but I also just can’t believe that companies that make severely unoptimized games are going to change their ways.
That said, most gaming is already on phones, and many of the popular multiplayer games are already running fine on very weak hardware.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 1 day ago:
From what I know about simulator games, they don’t usually simulate asshole customers, and it’s fairly easy to be successful compared to real life. Kinda its own form of stress relief, though I’d assume that the target audience isn’t people who have the simulated job in real life.
- Comment on Anon changes his strategy 1 day ago:
IME, that was entirely socially accepted in the early 00s. So it’s less “why are they doing it”, and more “why did they keep it up when society at large has moved on”.

Second-to-last line sounds like she introduces her boyfriend to anon. But anon seems happy about that, so good for them!

TFW you’re a British lesbian songwriter
- Comment on my bf says sleeping with your balls out is the male equivalent 2 days ago:
Sleeping with your junk out is kinda like wearing boxers. And I hate wearing boxers - boxer-briefs all the way! I imagine sleeping topless as a woman is kinda similar, depending on her tits’ shape.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 3 days ago:
Assuming they don’t already have copies through intelligence sharing agreements or have already demanded access in secret, how exactly would most countries pressure the US, and specifically this US goverment?
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 3 days ago:
Most households in rich nations I guess. I haven’t ever heard of anyone I personally know that they have a rodent infestation in their home.
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 3 days ago:
The usefulness is dubious for most house cats. Most households don’t have mouse infestations, and cats who go outside actively endanger wildlife (and yes, that is an issue for humans as well). Being cute and relatively friendly is useful on its own, but more in a psychological way.
I do agree that they’re extremely cute, and honestly I don’t know any other cute pet animals that are as cleanly with their feces (dogs can relatively easily be trained to not shit on the carpet, but not to shit in a dog toilet).
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 3 days ago:
I bet house cats would never have been a thing if they didn’t house-train instinctually.

Age is a matter of how debilitating your age-related diseases are. If you’re over 30 and got backpain or bad knees you’re old.
I am old.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 1 week ago:
I’m talking about very flat pizza made by Italians who immigrated post WW2 and probably visit Italy almost every year, because that’s actually really easy to do when you’re in Europe.
Some pizza is just very bendy, it’s fingerfood the same way that spaghetti is a finger food - you could, but it’s just more practical to use cutlery.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 1 week ago:
IDK, be poor probably. And I bet they hate it if you talk about seizing the means of production (depending on your definition of “rich” - a well-paid hospital doctor might own 1-2 million dollars, but they got there primarily because off their salary, not because they own capital (though at that level of wealth, they most likely also have investments in stocks etc.).
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 1 week ago:
IMO, it depends on how bendy the pizza is, how big the crust (i.e. handle) is and wether it’s a sit-down restaurant or not.
- Comment on Name it 1 week ago:
Super Nintendo-era pixel graphics games like Chrono Trigger.
- Comment on Name it 1 week ago:
BG1+2 is peak.
IME, Minecraft looks kinda bad until you install shader mods, at which point it needs pretty substantial GPU power. But IDK, maybe Bedrock Edition is more efficient.
- Comment on Name it 1 week ago:
Arguably, 2016 and Eternal prove it much better than the original - people nowadays are way too spoilt to really appreciate those early 3D graphics, and IMO early 3D graphics aged much worse than pixel art.
- Comment on I'm the whale game devs never expected or wanted 1 week ago:
So funny yet so satisfying in some games. Villains do their grand monologue and you just curbstomp them like common bandits.
- Comment on Ice is a mineral. Liquid minerals are lava. You are filled with lava 1 week ago:
What’s that logo in the lower right corner? Never seen it (probably on account of not being USian) and it’s too small/low contrast to read the upper part.
That said, the trouble with ice thickness is measuring it without stepping on it.
- Comment on Sorry buddy, you just ain't it anymore. 1 week ago:
Would aliens in 10000 years even be able to tell the difference between trash and … well, not trash? They’d probably just think that we were really into plastic. Which isn’t wrong.
- Comment on Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre 1 week ago:
Nah, trappy beats slap. They do tend to get pretty samey, but the same could be said about a lot of classic music genres.
- Comment on Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre 1 week ago:
Outlaw country is a whole thing and it’s very different from that cliche rightwing pop country stuff.
- Comment on Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre 1 week ago:
Calling Femtanyl “hardcore punk” is certainly a choice. Hardcore punk has specific genre conventions (e.g. having drums and guitars) that Femtanyl doesn’t follow at all.
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 2 weeks ago:
That kinda makes it sound like most people are bastards, they just don’t usually get the opportunity to show it.
- Comment on Police spy tried to incite activists to firebomb shop, UK inquiry hears 2 weeks ago:
This kind of thing was a huge problem when Germany tried to ban the NPD (a neo-nazi party) in the 2010s. Too many police/secret service infiltrators in way too high positions. In the end, they failed to ban the party.
