  Thanks for checking the math, that is indeed an ambitious goal to reach.

  Subnautica 1 and Below Zero together sold over 18 million copies, so reaching over 14 million with only one installment is doable with the bonus of being well known now, but still very ambitious.

  And just to admit: yeah I also think the CEO did an overly stupid thing with that amount of money as bonus. But he also uses ChatGPT as legal advisor, so him being stupid is something we already knew.

  I mean, you could see it as an investment? You know, by motivating their workers to create a very good product that then sells very well later when they are out of early access? Like a theoretical normal company should do?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unknown Worlds Earns $250M Performance Bonus After Stellar Subnautica 2 Launch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  From the articles I read: the three main developers didn’t deny that fact but said, they will give parts of their money to the others. And apparently they did do that for the initial money they got for selling the company to Krafton in the first place, so at least once they followed their word.

  Yes, but the game was payrolled by Epic and wouldn’t even exist without them. Its different from those other instances where they threw money at a game at the end and bought the exclusivity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are you supposed to put your eyes when you're not using them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, you put into words what always bothered me about it, but I couldn’t exactly form the words to describe it.

  Nowadays I would be glad to be able to get into the nothing box again. Always on brain it is, sadly, for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not solvable, since the logarithm base 1 of 10 is impossible to solve. 1 to the power of any number is still 1.

  Seems somebody doesn’t want to be called.

  (Also the variable f is never defined, so that’s another point to “doesn’t want to be called”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy Air ☢️⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First, props for actually engaging with my question and finding out.

  Now to the rest of your comment:

  That might be flippant, but does this matter at all?

  Yes? As I said: here in central Europe (and Chernobyl is not central europe, I meant parts of Germany, Czech Republic, Poland and Austria, so not really close) we still have areas, 40 years after the event, with too high radioactive levels in e.g. mushrooms for safe human consumption. I personally don’t really find that cool. Same is happening in Fukushima, but in a more local event due to the wind pushing most into the sea.
  So we just have those nuclear meltdown events and then move around outside the areas where the failures happened? That is your preferred mode of living in the future? I envision a much more positive future for mankind.

  You might as well say solar panels are deadly because some idiot didn’t tie his safety line while installing rooftop solar panels.

  Yes? That’s how it works? Those kind of things have to be considered to properly judge a technology. And thank you for proving my point. What happens if a solar cell\battery\transformator fails catastrophically? A house burns down and the people inside might die. Tragic, but nothing that stops humanity from using the local area for the next hundreds or thousands of years, depending on how bad it is. And still fucking up food resources in a wider area outside the local area depending on how lucky the non-locals are with the weather conditions.

  We sadly don’t live in a perfect world where everything goes right, so failure rates and failure modes have to be considered. In fact, those two things are kind of the main things you have to think about. At least if you want to engage seriously with a topic as engineer. And even the oh so perfect and advanced Japan was not safe. And why? Because of human error.

  In addition I would like to point your view to the current Ukraine war where Russia (and Ukraine afterwards) attacked right next to a nuclear plant, which isn’t exactly filling me with confidence. Furthermore I would like to point out the shitstained Florida Orange and his administration in the USA, which has shown time and time again their disregard for science and any and all safety measures. Do you seriously want to tell me, that you think those kind of people will never come into power again and threaten our and humanities safety because they have the ego of a planet but the brains of a mosquito? They fired the people responsible for nuclear weapons in the DoE and only afterwards realised it and tried to reverse it after the media reported their epic failure. Did you forget about those parts already?

  Do you seriously want to tell me that you engage with your life only considering the best case scenario? That is not how reality works, sadly.

  And just to add to your answer regarding the fuel: not being able to stack radioactive fuel together is exactly one of the problems, as you should know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spicy Air ☢️⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As you said: easy to answer, so not worth it to engage with seriously.

  So let me counter ask you a very similar question: how much radioactive material (weight or volume, your choice) do you think was spread in Chernobyl, that made it still a closed off region today and resulted in ongoing increased radioactive levels in mushrooms and wild boar meat in multiple regions over central Europe, that it is still not considered safe for human consumption?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a sports drink list sodium and chloride as separate ingredients, separated by other ingredients, is there a difference between that and just listing salt as an ingredient?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference is that each ion could also occur from a different source salt besides sodium chloride. In a system with only pure water and pure sodium chloride, your proposal would work.

  You could have e.g. sodium chloride and sodium carbonate in there or more likely sodium citrate, since you said sports drink. Those sodium ions are the same and indistinguishable, regardless of source. People who have to limit their sodium intake should not need to calculate the sodium content of each salt and then sum that up. Instead you get one sum value directly, which people can interpret much better.

  In addition I think the reason is that they simply make a ICP-MS measurement and get one sodium cation value and the same for the other ions. Therefore they cannot combine the values,to a salt because they didn’t determine the sodium chloride salt content, only sodium cation and chloride anion content separately.

  You bring a rationality that is not appreciated in investing circles!

  (The OP is known for joking 90% of the time, if you read their account name, just disregard the opinion and assume the opposite)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you also do this with languages that use the Latin Alphabet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of in German? Because the last “word”-part in the word determines what it really is and the separate parts of the word stay with the same meaning most of the time, so the end result is often connected to the meanings of the word parts it is made up of.

  As example:

  Fahr = driving-related Fahrt = the drive Plan = map, plan Bus = … bus

  Fahrplan = timetable for trains, busses etc Planfahrt = drive that is according to some plan (instead of outside of the planned timetable) Busfahrplan = timetable for busses

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any story ripoffs that are actually good?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Wizard of the Emerald City and it’s series from Alexander Melentyevich Volkov. The first story was a nearly 100 % ripoff of The Wizard of Oz and later books also contain some ideas from the original stories from Baum, but Volkov also created a lot on his own in the sequels. And I love the world he created. I especially like that villains were portrayed in a manner that made sense. While there also were some archetypical “I’m capital E Evil” the character of Urfin was fascinating to me as a child, as it was one of the first instances of a multidimensional charactersi experienced as child. He was an overly ambitious but smart person in a fairy tale village where everybody else was content with their simple life. And that discrepancy was the start of his road to villainhood.

  I have enough unplayed games for years. And I haven’t even bought all games that interest me on my wishlist.

  So to answer your question: I think it will work long enough till AI either implodes or is big enough that the state forces you to connect your brain implant to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨german bedtime stories be like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The translation is a bit off, OP posted the original German version and there it said that the king says not to press the red button, the one that destroys the whole world. So you are right that pressing the button will kill him too.

  Good News! Valve apparently thinks the same and are working on a visual novel for the heroes in order to tell their stories. I’m really looking forward to that as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree. Avoiding media because of certain themes is perfectly fine. I for example will not play games like Hatred or Nazi Games, no matter how good they could be. It’s the kind of themes they try to avoid which show how scared they are of everybody around them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2 North American 4 you has been created⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to protest the Döner one. Other countries sell something they call Döner, but the similarity is superficial at best to a real one. It’s a fun little thing I do on vacation in other European countries: try to find a “Döner” and see what travesty they give me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you fell out of love with.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it was Warframe. I adore the style of the game and it’s lore. The gameplay and variety of the different weapons and characters gave me a lot of fun playtime. But the way RNG is used and how timed special missions are abusing dark patterns became more and more clear, the longer I played.

  And at a certain point I realized the addiction it nurtured in me and I had to stop cold turkey and never touched it again afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I worked some prison and jails. They always put this big heavy green thing on you if your on suicide or solitary watch. My question is if Epstein was on watch then how did he suicide?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Normally I would agree, but this one does have really strange occurrences. First there is no camera feed, then the camera feed released is strangely missing exactly the time around his death. Like how many strange occurrences does it take for you to say: wait a minute, why is it so hard for them to prove everything happened as they said.

  For sure. Is not like the bosses at other big companies are magically better. They select for the same criteria, so they get the same crap.

  And honestly, AAA industry should go down for 99% of them. The way they treat their workers is not something that should be supported.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who was the aggressor in cold war?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean Cuba was a crisis and dangerous for sure, and the USSR pushed it to the near breaking point, but I still find it funny that the USA got nervous when strategic rockets were close to them, something that was true for Moscow nearly the whole time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who was the aggressor in cold war?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Both sides were the aggressors in general and each side had moments where they were the more active part leading to confrontations.

  I don’t think the cold war can be described as one single conflict with a clear aggressor, which is the whole point why it is called a cold war.

  I’m not knowledgeable enough if there are statistics about which side was more in the wrong or did more aggressor stuff.

  But for me, knowing that the USA did the Iran and CIA stuff while the USSR did Afghanistan and KGB stuff is enough for me to decide both were elitist assholes that didn’t care for normal humans but just wanted to increase their own power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true for Germans?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True, and it still doesn’t include that the boot industry has no interest in building proper snow safety but just to make it as cheap as possible and if the boots fail, the state should pay you for your wet and cold feet.
