- Comment on Final TF2 comic released after 7 years! 1 day 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 4 days 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.

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 1 week ago:
Coop Immersive Sim sounds awesome to be honest.
- Comment on What are your favourite trailers? 2 weeks 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 weeks 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 Is there a bulk comment deletiin tool for Lemmy? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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. 3 weeks 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!

Garbage comes on different states of matter…
- Comment on Intelligence Tests 1 month ago:
Yeah and the other part is proud of that fact, which fits to be honest…
- Comment on Respect 1 month 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 1 month 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- 1 month 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- 1 month 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.
- Comment on American prison warden gone mad 2 months ago:
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.

What we all are. (At least statistically speaking)
- Comment on If I was a secret immortal how long could I keep the same US ID for before I get taken away for study. I'm thinking 150 years. 2 months ago:
Just one question: on which keyboard are 4 and 9 close to each other to get typoed *X-Files music starts*
- Comment on Anon recommends a cast iron pan 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Poggers 2 months ago:
It’s a good one, but it is missing the fertility ritual angle.
- Comment on Just me getting head 2 months ago:
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 2 months 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.

- Comment on Anon loves his orb 3 months ago:
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 3 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) 3 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) 3 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 3 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 3 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.
