  I would respect that as a kind of performance art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age of Mythology Retold News: Immortal Pillars [Chinese expansion] and PlayStation 5 Releases are Coming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait what? This news did not reach me till now. Why does everything connected to big companies have to be so shitty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forgotton Anne follow-up Forgotlings is a gorgeous jaunt into a mountain full of adorable weirdos - and it has a demo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh nice, didn’t know they were developing a new game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To my late wife, Carmen, my spicy little habanara pepper (pls read and lmk if you think it's okay to send)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK, I thought it was just female form of the chili habanero and didn’t question it further, thinking you meant she is fiery.

  Nice one then, even if it was far over my head =D now I appreciate your joke even more after reading the lyrics. Heads off to the dedication!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To my late wife, Carmen, my spicy little habanara pepper (pls read and lmk if you think it's okay to send)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see a second joke, please explain it for stupid me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Notch says he will work on a spiritual successor to Minecraft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone look! I got a picture of the Rosetta Stone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it is the stone from the back. You can see more people on the other side of the stone and also with phones out to photograph it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a community you like and would recommend to others and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like video games, but not the newest, shiniest AAA title, but rather the smaller and older gems. Therefore !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works is a nice community since I also like to read what other gamers think about their favorites.

  Another recommendation is !historymemes@lemmy.world where PugJesus often gives an explanation to their meme. Thereby you learn and laugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons make the worst game ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The loading times did get better! I think a lot of people who complain either forgot or never player old games on original hardware. I remember minutes long loading screens. What we have now is so much better than the past. Imaging playing a Dark Souls game and waiting 1 minute each time you got defeated. That was my experience with one segment in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons make the worst game ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But… That is a disguised loading screen. The ones everyone complained about as well. The game has to load the data at some point. So either it’s completely being removed from the game via a screen or something like “boost me up” or crawling through the caves like in the new God of War.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have diarrhea and you hold it in will your body retain some of the water?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly it’s a real medical condition that leads to a really bad death if untreated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To play gods advocate, good isn’t an emotion. Good is a state of being, that could be defined and then other things can be judged by that definition to be good or not.

  Subjective? Sure. But no emotion needed for subjectivity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are all WAY too happy about an extremely powerful and very wealthy CEO who controls a monopoly and uses slave labor. Not to mention he has this two-tiered system based on arbitrary data.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Precisely thisPrecisely this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Noble gases⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting but not surprising that it differs. In my case it was mostly due to one seminar tutor, not a professor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Noble gases⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In high school I agree that learning it by heart is unnecessary. Studying chemistry in university though, I agree that the students there should know, at least roughly, where each element is. After all, a lot of reactivity and behavior depends on their period and which group they are in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final TF2 comic released after 7 years!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, somehow the openendedness gave me a little bit of “it’s not over yet” feeling. But now it feels like the coffin nail being put in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just because you're a slob at home do you have to be an inconsiderate slob in public⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not? Mostly smell for me. Because feet being imprisoned on shoes most of the time gives them an aroma most people don’t like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relevant advertising 🤪⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then we would need to know how many CEOs you need to “not see” before somebody connects some dots…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thief has a new spiritual sequel, built by the Deus Ex and System Shock devs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Coop Immersive Sim sounds awesome to be honest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite trailers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Mechanicus trailer is maybe the greatest ever.

  I also fondly remember the Skyrim reveal trailer, because the music was so epic when I saw it for the first time, in ancient times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vertigo 2: Into the Aether - Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh nice. Vertigo 2 was a great step forwards from Vertigo 1. I’m interested in this new addition to the series.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might not be for you.

  Maybe as an alternative for you: create new accounts after one year or so to not leave a years-long data trail? This way your posts are preserved but can’t be connected easily to each other to doxx you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most multiplayer games gain by already knowing mechanics, maps, characters, items, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7/7 of Required Countries Have Met the Petition's Threshold.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget that reaching the country threshold alone is not enough. We also need to hit 1 million petitioners!

  So if you like the petition and you are a EU citizen, sign it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Optimisation is a Slow Process⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Garbage comes on different states of matter…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intelligence Tests⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah and the other part is proud of that fact, which fits to be honest…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Respect⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OH SHI-⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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-⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.
