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 days 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) 4 days 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) 4 days 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

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 1 week 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.

Nearly, some identifier who it’s from is also good. Without one? You can’t complain if I throw it away at the end of the week cleaning.
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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)

Saying your own anecdotal experience to counter a reported problem for many others is fine. Acting like those problems don’t exist is stupid.
Read the article and you will know ‘what all the hate is about’.

I downvoted you per the rules, but thanks for that chuckle.

Wait, I thought that only applies to communities on that instance, not to a case like this, where you are on another instance? Are you using an app or a browser based way to access the fediverse?
- Comment on Masters of Albion trailer, an in development god game x colony builder hybrid with custom crafting recipes (food, armour), custom building design and an optiona third person combat from Peter Molyneux 3 weeks ago:
I mean already Black And White wasn’t up to what he promised. And for Populous I don’t know, because I wasn’t following gaming news then, but needed to learn to read first =D
- Comment on Masters of Albion trailer, an in development god game x colony builder hybrid with custom crafting recipes (food, armour), custom building design and an optiona third person combat from Peter Molyneux 3 weeks ago:
Because his reputation from acclaimed products (Populous, Black & White, Fable 1) are all on the past and his latest games were nearly 90% cons.
And even his great games are not what he promised. Even there he promised more than he could deliver.
- Comment on U.K. might follow Europe in fining employers who message staff after-hours 3 weeks ago:
IMO it is perfectly fine to sign that right away, but that is then called on-call duty and requires extra compensation. And THAT is what most employers try to avoid.

Yes it is wonderful, especially floating in space and just drifting. But be aware, certain parts are… intense in VR.
- Comment on Geoff Keighley: No Silksong in Gamescom. Team Cherry are still cooking. 4 weeks ago:
Team Cherry delivered a master piece by taking their time and releasing it when it was done.
So I have full faith in them and will hope the community also continues to has the patience to not pester them.

But that was nowhere close to what you wrote though. It is perfectly fine to remind people that Valve is not the customers friend.
- Comment on “This Email Probably Should’ve Been a Meeting” | Project 2025 training video instructs leaving no paper trail to avoid accountability 5 weeks ago:
See it differently: what got leaked is the stuff they thought could leave a paper trail. So the other stuff is even more extreme.
- Comment on Space Marine 2 feels even more explosively, grimly, and hilariously authentic to the Warhammer 40,000 universe than the first game 5 weeks ago:
Remember: WAIT!
They cancelled the beta. So something was SO wrong with the game, that they didn’t want the public to find out about.
I hope it will be a good game, because the first was fun to play, but we will find that out after it released.
