- Comment on Respect 2 weeks ago:
It’s not so much nature lovers but social media “content creators” who are criticized here.
There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can’t find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.
- Comment on Why play a fascist? Unpacking the hideousness of the Space Marine 3 weeks ago:
I mean, I’m not an ultra fan, only a casual one and I dislike that. The whole over the top style of WH40k is exactly what was fascinating about it. If I want to play something with modern soldiers, I have Battlefield or Call Of Duty. I play 40k games for the absurdity of it. That’s exactly the kind of “I know better what the fans want” that most bad adaptations are born out of. Luckily it seems they didn’t feel the need to change too much.
But admittedly, I can understand that you don’t want to create something where you are pretty sure enough media illiterate idiots will not get that the fascists are NOT supposed to be the good guys.

Thanks for the confirmation!
That was my source of confusion: finding out, how stuff works exactly is science. Even if we know the rough principle, the details might reveal some new things.
- Comment on OH SHI- 4 weeks ago:
Here is my try at explaining it in layman terms, but I’m not 100% sure I got the meme completely right. I didn’t do protein crystallography, only organometallics.
Crystallography is the dark magic art of turning nice really small crystals into pictures of molecules (or more precisely: 3D maps of electron density) The scientist in the meme wanted to measure the same protein, but under different pH conditions, so either adding some acid or some base while the crystals form. Then they hopefully get different structures at different pH values and can make a nice video animation like a flipbook to show the change in structure.
And I think the meme makes fun of the fact that the scientist did this experiment with a certain expectation and then that expectation happens but the scientist is surprised by it happening.
They chose a protein which is a reductase, meaning it can reduce the oxidation state of certain molecules. Such a reduction reaction is often dependant on pH value in organism (I think), therefore changing the pH value changes what the protein will do in the crystallization solution.

Vinegar is perfectly fine for that. With a bigger amount of minerals you just need more vinegar and time.

Just a small correction: Horus is not the god of death, but the god of ruling, war and the sky. The role of god of death fits better to Anubis or Osiris, depending on how you interpret the role.

I think they mean Teflon coating. While Teflon itself is not carcinogenic, the chemicals used in its production are in the PFAS group and not so healthy.

The source for this picture is from Vermis, a guide book for a fictional video game that doesn’t exist. It is interesting and full of atmosphere.
- Comment on If Bethesda released Skyrim today, they would have made it woke 1 month ago:
No they didn’t?
If I’m not getting whooshed from you playing the act:
The joke is that everything in the meme is already in the established TES canon. But capital G Gamers™ (which I hate that those assholes made that word negative), being media illiterate and being “anti woke”, often don’t see what their loved games contain, even if they complain about those things.

You do you, but now you know to not do it around other people. If you harm yourself knowingly, that is your choice. Same as with drugs.
- Comment on Anon loves his orb 2 months ago:
Worst part about internet communities is people still not understanding that no matter how dumb a thing is, there is always at least one without the knowledge who will try it themselves. Not everybody has the needed education, so what harm is there in writing a comment specifically mentioning and explaining the problem.
- Comment on I have been getting into emulation (discussion) 2 months ago:
Meh, the mobile phone port they sell on steam is not comparable to the original, but you are right on the principle.
- Comment on I have been getting into emulation (discussion) 2 months ago:
Well, that is a very open ended question.
My thoughts on emulation is that it is an absolute necessity in order to preserve the history of gaming. However, it will also probably always be a grey area regarding copyright. Especially with emulation of current gen I find it not okay, since the original creator still earns money with it. But if a game or console is not sold anymore? Nobody loses money from me using an emulator to play Chrono Trigger with save states and increased game speed to make the farming and boss fights easier.
- Comment on An in-depth look at Romance in video games 2 months ago:
Thanks for sharing this video. While it is a bit long and has some duplication about some games in the introduction part and the specific game parts, it was nonetheless interesting to hear about this in depth talk about the romance genre.
I don’t really understand the downvotes, is it due to the length or directly proving the point of the video that too many people are scared of romance in games?
- Comment on Heaven 17 composer calls out Rockstar over alleged lowball GTA 6 music offer 2 months ago:
In another post it was said that $7500 per member was offered, totaling to $22500.
Which is still not a lot for giving up all future royalties, but their counter offer of 10x that ($225’000 in total) is a little much in my opinion as well.
But I’m still glad they spoke out, this way a more open discussion can happen about this topic.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
But that is what we others are saying: there is no “more intuitive” system, just one you know better and can quicker evaluate how it would feel! So you agree with us.
Everything you said can be said about Celsius scale as well.
There is also a precedence for Celsius more than just an arbitrary number between 0 & 100.
A scale for liquid water, you know, the stuff that is the reason why we call our little spaceship "the blue marble"and why we even have this discussion, because it is the basis of all life on earth, is also not a bad choice for a number between 0-100.
And you made me curious: in what context did you have to calculate percentages of temperature that were not in Kelvin? Because as soon as percentages and temperatures are close to each other in one sentence the only example I can think of are things like reaction kinetic calculations and those are neither in Celsius nor in Fahrenheit.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
If we want to go that road, intuition is according to Wikipedia:
Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge, without recourse to conscious reasoning or needing an explanation.[2][3] Different fields use the word “intuition” in very different ways, including but not limited to: direct access to unconscious knowledge; unconscious cognition; gut feelings; inner sensing; inner insight to unconscious pattern-recognition; and the ability to understand something instinctively, without any need for conscious reasoning.[4][5] Intuitive knowledge tends to be approximate.[6]
Since every temperature system needs an explanation, namely the reference points, no system is intuitive per this definition.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
Which system did you grow up with? Because I grew up from the start with Celsius und it is 100% intuitive to me. Everytime you americans use your funny temperature numbers I have to stop and use a tool for transforming it or I simply ignore it and go “low means cold and high means hot, how high? Ain’t nobody got time for dat!”
So I disagree with your notion that Fahrenheit is intuitive.

- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 2 months ago:
I wholeheartedly agree, the voices in this game are all awesome and fitting. I just didn’t mention that because you either read the texts or sit even longer hearing them. Both ways you need a certain patience to enjoy this game. (Which not everyone has and that is okay as well)
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 2 months ago:
Both are among the greatest RPGs.
Planescape suffers from it’s zeitgeist and that it “needed” the fighting to be considered a RPG. I imagine it would surpass DE if they could have focused only on the story, the world and it’s inhabitants.
DE could only reach it’s high because PT existed first and showed what was possible and that the fighting only distracted.
If you haven’t played Disco Elysium yet, I highly recommend it. Since you like reading long tests texts, it will not bother you.
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 2 months ago:
Specifically similar to RotOD is Heaven’s Vault in that its pretty nonlinear, not hand holdy and that you figure out a foreign language. But it is more adventure style than RotOD.
Another one already mentioned Outer Wilds (not Outer Worlds!) and I completely agree and recommend it as well!
In general I have to say I disagree that new games are more of the same. We are in a golden age regarding new games and game genres. It’s just, that there are so many games, that there are also many similar ones. And the big studios are the worst in that regard, just bury AAA and start to love Indie games!
As example, games which are different from others and not already mentioned in this thread:
- Eastshade (you are a painter exploring a fantasy world, solving quests by painting pictures)
- Rain World (you are a small animal trying to survive a hostile simulated world, you need to learn how the interaction between you, NPCs and the world works)
- INSIDE (nearly pure atmosphere & no gameplay, but still great!)
- Papers, Please (you are a government worker who has to check people coming over the border)
- Her Story (you try to figure out what happened to a person via searching videos from her interrogation by the police)
- What Remains of Edith Finch (part game anthology, part great story to connect those “mini games”)
- A Little To the Left (OCD in game form)
- Ancestors: Humankind Odyssey (you play a primate tribe and evolve it towards Homo Sapiens in an african tropical forest)
