I mean, it’s pretty different if what the weird cult claims could be true, i.e. gods and evil demons do exist in general. In the real world, you pretty much know that’s it’s all fake, the only remaining question is whether the person you’re talking to believes it or is in on the grift.
- Comment on Loosing my religion 1 day ago:
The thing with RPG worlds is, when the characters are saying these kinds of things there’s a good chance that this is actually and demonstrably how that RPG world works and they’re not just a bunch of grifters.

I think the fundamental issue is that people who like FO4 or Skyrim typically don’t want to play an MMORPG in the first place. But maybe I’m extrapolating too much from myself.
- Comment on Anon makes games 1 week ago:
What does “fail” even mean? I do have a great distaste for “AAA” titles roughly post-Skyrim, but AFAIK most AAA games succeed financially. Even Fallout76, widely regarded as a flop in terms of critical reception and player sentiment, performed reasonably well, even if not quite as well as previous Fallout titles.

AFAIK USA. But I’d assume that lemmy.world users aren’t the only ones who see and comment on your posts. e.g. I have insomnia, I might comment at literally any time.

Right now, yes, but for the vast majority of history it wasn’t even close. Your link shows that China only met the EU’s per capita emissions in 2013, when climate change was already pretty far along.
- Comment on Prediction vs Reality 1 week ago:
Europe (alongside the USA) has been releasing disgusting amounts of climate change-inducing gases since the 18th century, and they (alongside the USA) were the main profiteers of climate pollution until the latter half of the 21st century. Arguably still are, though China etc. also play a part now.
Granted, this treats nations as monoliths, it’s not like the population of most countries really had a choice for the most part.
- Comment on Prediction vs Reality 1 week ago:
Helps that Europe is warming faster than the global average. Karma, I guess.

Sounds like it’s a complete non-issue if you’re not consciously trying to blast your ears clean through …

Shure SE215 Pro CL. Common features of musician’s in-ears are that the cables are supposed to go around the ear instead of straight down, and many of them have detachable cables. They’re also tuned a little different differently and I think they tend to be louder than standard in-ears.
in-ears, since they are significantly correlated with hearing loss
What makes them so hearing-loss inducing? I always thought they were more ear-friendly compared to standard ear-buds or compact overear headphones, because they isolate outside noise better.
- Comment on Sound of silence 1 week ago:
Glasses+overear headphones is something I struggle with. I generally use in-ear headphones on the go, but those come with their own issues; I actually got a set of in-ear headphones for musicians recently, they have replacable cables but there’s even more cable noise (amplified sound from walking, clothes rubbing against the cable etc.) than for standard consumer in-ears, plus I don’t really like their sound.
What model of OneOdio headphones do you use? I assume they don’t all have the exact same level of comfort.

What kind of reflective material do you use? My blinds use reflective material and it does jack shit.
- Comment on Sound of silence 1 week ago:
I’ve always done it that way, doesn’t help much. IDK how this keeps happening, I’m also breaking phone and laptop headphone jacks.
- Comment on Sound of silence 1 week ago:
TBH I’m way more likely to break headphone wires than to misplace wireless earbuds.

You think night air is going to be tolerable in a 40°C heatwave?
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 1 week ago:
Maybe if the blinds are on the outside of the window, but IME that’s not the norm north of the alps. And you can’t blind+fan your way out of 40°C heatwaves, the nights get warm too and then you can’t properly cool down your place at night anymore.
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 1 week ago:
How do you keep the temps that low after months of continental summer? Is it drawing cold from the ground?
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 1 week ago:
Doesn’t that depend on the relative temperatures? Surely the ground is warmer than a typical winter day.

- Comment on Americans Have Turned Against AI in Incredible Numbers 2 weeks ago:
“people have turned against AI” is an … interesting framing, when the same article says that they’re using AI more than ever. I can’t quite believe that the bosses of ~60% of workers are forcing them to use it.

No, he said a real thing in a completely factually wrong way, and that’s assuming that this “entrepeneur” actually understood it correctly, which I doubt.
- Comment on GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not? 2 weeks ago:
Is Sony still releasing as physical games, vs. download codes in a box? Can you resell download codes? And do you actually resell Playstation games, or do you just want to have the option?
For me, Steam games are so much cheaper than console games that I think that it’s worth it to always pick Steam over console even if Steam turns evil eventually and makes my entire library disappear. I’m also not planning on buying separate gaming hardware, I just add a GPU to my main desktop PC. But who knows, maybe a Steam Machine is actually a better deal the next time I need to upgrade my PC for gaming.
I should probably pick GOG over Steam more often.

I mean, lots of people are controversial and most of them aren’t openly autistic …
- Comment on Anon tries to break the ice 2 weeks ago:
I do agree that it doesn’t necessarily come naturally to autists, but it seems to work fine for all the autist-led autism advocacy groups. Lots of autists have substantial skill in social masking, anyway - doing it around the clock is damaging to them, but it’s not like non-autistic leaders are always their fully authentic self in public, either. A good advocacy group enables, where possible, the participation of people who are directly involved.
As a prominent example for leaders of activist groups with autism, consider Greta Thunberg.
- Comment on Anon tries to break the ice 2 weeks ago:
They have a very outdated, paternalistic, rightwing view of autism. They very much view it as a disease on the level of cancer that needs to be cured, versus the “neurodiversity” view that most autistic autism activists have, and they have basically no (openly) autistic people in leadership positions. Also held on to the “vaccines cause autism” myth for a long time.
- Comment on Anon tries to break the ice 2 weeks ago:
AFAIK Autism Speaks fucking sucks. They should STFU.

Roster rules would mean an MLS club would quickly get ground into dirt in that English second division, but matchday 1 might be pretty competitive.
Interesting, what are those roster rules?
