blocking the sun at every step
That’s a feature. I don’t want to be grilled by the sun everywhere I go.
Great for local air quality, too.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 week ago:
I’ll probably die of dysentery. Just because I know modern hygiene rules doesn’t mean I’ll survive interacting with all the other people who don’t but are used to local bacteria and viruses.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 1 week ago:
Only one of those is actually what I’d describe as “polo shirt and sweatpants” - first one isn’t really wearing sweatpants (and doesn’t have super hairy legs like many men) and the third one isn’t wearing a polo shirt. And yeah, the look might work if you’re fit and at least know how to pick clothes that match (color and fit) both with each other and with the way your body, hair etc. look.

OP seems to care about appearances a lot, they’re just not good at it themselves.

Yawn. Call me when there’s actually a new Elder Scrolls single player game out.
- Comment on Ubuntu 25.04 upgrades halted due to Kubuntu users getting a broken desktop 2 weeks ago:
This is why I don’t install major OS updates directly after they were released, especially not when it’s not an LTS release. Though I should probably upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04.

Very few animals that rely on venom need to kill elephants, including those who live near them. What’s a spider supposed to do with a 2 ton carcass?
- Comment on "We have no official information on an Oblivion remake," say Bethesda, which isn't a denial, is it 3 weeks ago:
I was thinking of single player Elder Scrolls games. They did release an Elder Scrolls MMO (and Fallout MMO), I just don’t like MMOs and I don’t think that one was all that good compared to other MMOs.

Oh my FUCKING god. Would it kill them to actually release a NEW game??

How does “LORD LORD” fit into your explanation?

Aneurysm aside, good question. I wonder if I’d agree with their interpretation of what Jesus says and what that means for society, though.
- Comment on The secret German plans leaked 3 weeks ago:
German governments certainly don’t act like this isn’t the plan. It’s not that they’re doing nothing to reduce emissions, but they’re not doing their part to prevent this (even if it’s inevitable at this point given the global political climate, but at least the EU could do a lot more and Germany has considerable influence there).
- Comment on My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I did those. What helped me was using very little pressure when putting the tins together, barely enough to create a seal. Some guides suggest pushing them together with a smack to create a seal, which is rather counterproductive when your issue is not being able to open it quickly.

Reminds me of when I tried doing some cocktails with a boston shaker (two metal tins). It’s pretty easy to get those stuck - since metal bends it’s probably easier to get then unstuck than a ceramic bowl, but the cocktail is probably ruined after you have been trying to get the tins unstuck for a couple of minutes. Plus the potential spillage.
- Comment on Neverway is a horror RPG Stardew Valley from one of the artists behind Celeste 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but I’d say “it’s like [game name]” or “similar to”, not “it’s a [game name]”.
- Comment on Neverway is a horror RPG Stardew Valley from one of the artists behind Celeste 3 weeks ago:
“Metroidvania” and “Rogue-like” aren’t names of existing games, though, they’re genre names.
- Comment on Neverway is a horror RPG Stardew Valley from one of the artists behind Celeste 4 weeks ago:
Are we using “Stardew Valley” as a genre name now? That sucks.

- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 4 weeks ago:
That’s just not what “old” or “new” mean for media. You could maybe make that argument if the movie was made a long time ago but only released now, but that’s a very rare case. The public has already consumed the media, if it was somewhat popular you might be aware of what people thought about it, and if it was influential it might even interact with younger movies, possibly leading to you thinking that certain elements of it are overdone or old hat when this might actually have been one of the first works to have used these elements.
On top of that, the general societal context is not that of today, but of when the movie was made - few works are so timeless that this doesn’t matter at all.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 4 weeks ago:
‘old’ and ‘unknown to me’ aren’t the same thing and never were. When someone says they’re into ‘old movies’, they never mean that they like rewatching movies from the 2020s.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 4 weeks ago:
30 years is pretty old for a movie.

Yeah, that’s fair. They certainly don’t make it easy to vote in USA, which is deliberate to some extent. Easy to forget (like I just did).
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I think it was the votes of less than a third of eligible voters that made Trump 2.0 a reality, roughly another third just behind it, with the remainder not bothering to vote at all. I would say the often fantasized silent majority is actually not pro Trump.
That means that a third didn’t bother, though. The exact reason is up to debate, but it doesn’t say any good things about them or the political system.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Anti-intellectualism has a certain tradition in the USA, it’s kind of well-known.
A German perspective: I think Germans have always been this stupid, they’re mostly just more willing to say the quiet part out loud than they were between 1970 and 2014 (rough estimate). The difference is that the far right extremists have a popular platform now, and the mainstream parties refuse to ban either the far right party or all the media (X, Facebook, local tabloid press etc.) that’s pushing them. If this party had been around in 1960, it would definitely have been banned.

- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH gets a smaller download on Steam Deck 2 months ago:
Yeah, that shit is getting absurd.
Comparing a fresh download between my Steam Deck and Desktop Linux, the Steam Deck download for it is now 88.1GB whereas on Desktop it’s showing as 144.2GB.
88 GB is already kind of annoying, especially when you have slow internet, but 144 GB (much of that probably 4k textures, uncompressed audio and similar stuff) just fucking sucks.

They do it like that in Europe.
