- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 2 days ago:
If Frostpunk is their idea of a “narrative-driven, story-rich game”, I can see why they have concerns.

That may have been true a decade ago, but nowadays unless you’re trying to squeeze out top-tier graphics performance (which isn’t the case with this game) you only need to worry about the control scheme. The code can be compiled for multiple platforms.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Is Being Review Bombed By Chinese Gamers After The Game Awards 5 days ago:
IMO, it does. Awards showcase and highlight ‘best of’ games, but what’s the point of highlighting a game that is inaccessible to a significant portion of the gaming community? You could potentially make the argument that their purpose is more towards recognising the efforts and success of the devs, but that’s not the aspect of awards that are being discussed in this context.

Ah. I’m guessing most people missed the joke :)
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 6 days ago:
Wut? Pan European Game Information (PEGI) is the European equivalent of ESRB. Their ratings matter because they have an obvious bias against indies, which hurts their sales.

OP edited their post with a link. It’s an entirely different topic, it’s about germs on paper towels coming from the factory.

First time I’m seeing a claim that paper towels spread more germs. Got a source to back that up?

I’ve experienced losing my old email address, and all traces of my old digital identity. They went above and beyond to work with me till I could prove to their satisfaction that I was the original owner of the account, then restored it to me. Steam support is generally amazing.

Ah. I was not expecting numbers for 2023 under a 2003 year heading.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Steam has an estimated revenue of 8.6bn out of PC gaming’s overall 45bn.
Do you have a source on that? I’d love to quote it in future

insanely involved with manipulation of wavelengths of light vs just getting bigger or growing more claws or something similarly simple, biologically speaking.
Nature did. That’s how speciation works. We’re just focusing on the shiny beetles because they grab our attention and the big dung beetles with big horns don’t.
Also, as far as evolution is concerned? There’s nothing insane about it, they’re all equally simple. You’re thinking of it from the perspective of industrialisation, and how tough it would be for us to manufacture such materials. That’s not the viewpoint evolution cares about, if it can be grown it obviously isn’t difficult to do.
How do these processes which use quantum mechanics and wild optical physics become an innate part of nature to begin with.
There are no quantum mechanics involved. And the physics are not wild, they’re the basic laws of physics. It’s only humans that assign difficulty and exoticness to these mechanisms because our technology base is incapable of reproducing it easily.

So, 13 years down the road, it’s still too early to buy and play Terraria. Gotta wait till Redigit drops dead and hope nobody else picks up his mantle and releases more content for the game.
You know, there’s still new editions of Tetris coming out with twists…
- Comment on I have to be knowledgeable about a particular superstition in order to sign in to access a government form 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t about whether the question is appropriate, I agree it isn’t. I’m just curious. While I’m not a believer, I do know what ‘type’ I supposedly fall in. Do most nonbelievers know their sign, or do they have no idea?
- Comment on 'Baldur's Gate 3': Patch 8 Will Get TWELVE New Subclasses In 2025 2 weeks ago:
It’s extra subclasses. You wouldn’t have been able to play all the subclasses anyway without starting a new run and spending extra time, so your argument is dead in the water from the start.
- Comment on SHINY 2 weeks ago:
how does nature know
It doesn’t. Step by tiny step random mutations that grant a fraction of a percentage of survivability, multiplied across millions of generations.
random mutation /survival etc just doesn’t explain why it happens.
Yes it does, assuming there’s a benefit to be had along the way. It doesn’t have to be as effective as it is today to confer some tiny amount of benefit. It just has to be better than those without the mutation.
