- Comment on Superman | Official Teaser Trailer 1 day ago:
this trailer tells me nothing. my only interaction with superman is some comics from the 60s, so i know krypto the wonder-dog, but since when is “there is a dog” something that you put triumphant music over?
- Comment on At least 1440p is good for heating my house 1 day ago:
translated: “People are happy playing the nintendo switch for days on end and yet you claim you need the beefiest possible PC to enjoy games at all”
and the title is about how higher screen resolutions require more computer power, which generates more heat.

- Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)? 3 days ago:
trying to not give too much away but this happened in my family. a relative who has quite severe autism and has been on benefits for something like 30 years (they are in their 60s) is not being given any money by their parents. the parents willed all their physical assets to their other child (with special clauses that the person should still be able to utilise them if they wish) and put any money they would have gotten into a trust that pays out monthly. the reasoning for this in that the person in question is unable to gauge the worth of money, and because they are constantly getting suckered into niche religious groups that want tithes (until they tire of their mannerisms and throw them out).
while it does sound ableist to say, i do really think this is for their own good. it falls on the rest of the family to look out for them now and we do try. both children did agree to this arrangement by the way.

carmageddon got a sequel a few years ago and nobody batted an eye. kinda makes you miss the old days.
- Comment on Single-bladed razors are superior! 4 days ago:
hashtag not sponsored, my current razor is a Leaf. great little thing, it takes three single-sided blades (or 1.5 normal ones snapped it half) and is used just like a cartridge razor. it’s a bit expensive at €80 or so, but it’s completely metal so i expect it to outlast most other stuff in my bathroom.

why would you demo a for loop with a web server

if your server runs user-submitted code server side, that’s a paddlin

yeah if you’re not sure whether you’d be into it it’s better to not waste money :)
if you’re interested, check out the contraptions people are building to run steam turbines from geysers, or process oil, or extract metal from volcanoes. it’s crazy complicated stuff but if you’re into that it may win you over.

i think you don’t get the timer in free play mode. try doing the story or normal and see if that hooks you :)

it is. i had to restart like fifteen times before i got anywhere. doesn’t help that the simulation is quite janky and you have to understand its anachronisms to really get anywhere.
things like:
- gases don’t mix with each other, meaning you can have one tile of carbon dioxide block a vent so that oxygen isn’t replenished in a room, or have one errant tile of methane periodically moving over a gas sensor causing a room to overpressurize way over what should be possible from the vent, eventually exploding the walls of the room and filling the base with sour gas (ask me how i know)
- the same applies to liquids, meaning you can stack a liter of salt water on top of a liter of water to get a solid wall of liquid. this also blocks gas, making it an airlock.
- doors push gases and liquids away when closing, but only if there’s free space. this means you can set up a series of doors to act as a compressor. if there’s no free space, the material is simply deleted.
- every process produces heat, but the result of a process is always at a set temperature. for example, there’s a machine that splits water inte oxygen, which you need to breathe, and hydrogen, which you need to get rid of. the gases are always produced at 70°C or so, which means you need to cool it down to make it useful for breathing. you can cool it with a heat exchanger, but heats the area around the heat exchanger instead. so what do? well, you can dump that heat into the water going to the splitting machine. the input being at boiling point doesn’t matter, the output is still the same temperature, meaning you just deleted 30C worth of heat energy from the game. this is crucial for not overheating your base with all the machines you need to run.
- there’s germs everywhere, but chlorine kills germs, but no mixing means you can’t chlorinate the water and only the tiles in contact with the gas get disinfected. but if you put the water in a tank inside a chlorine atmosphere, somehow all the water touches the chlorine and it gets disinfected very quickly.
- some solid tiles let gas through but not liquids. if the gas cools enough to become liquid when moving through the tile, the liquid will simply teleport out somewhere
the entire game is like this.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
it gets more complex and fiddly, and your upgrades make you faster and more nimble, but the fundamentals are the same through to the end. did you get to the bigger reactors and cutting coolant lines? because if so you’ve seen more than half of the game and it’s fair to say it didn’t grab you.
also a thought; did you play with or without the time limit? because i feel like the timer helped me stay motivated.

ONI is more like dwarf fortress.
you need to manage your worker’s moods to make sure their tasks and surroundings don’t overwhelm them, or they will become destructive. you also need to make sure they have enough food, water, and air.
where ONi is different is in the simulation; all gasses, liquids, solids and living things have simulated physical reactions to pressure, temperature, and contact with other materials. so:
- if your water pipes are too cold, they freeze and explode.
- some animals only breathe chlorine.
- sometimes you unearth a volcano that melts your walls.

- Comment on As a human, here is my human take on unions 1 week ago:
union busting tactics in the us are basically on toddler level. remember the pamphlet that was sent out to united airlines workers when they were unionising? “union dues are $600 a year. why not spend that money on a new videogame system instead?”

- Comment on Are Increased Colorectal Cancers Rates Linked to Using Laptops on Stomachs? 2 weeks ago:
what increase? what energy? how do you even use your laptop when it’s on your stomach (i have never seen anyone do what you describe, i can’t even visualise it)?
and lastly, why would that position even lead to that kind of cancer, rather than lung or skin cancer?
finally, all radio waves have less energy than visible light. i’d worry more about lightbulbs.
