That would surprise me. It just doesn’t sound like their flavour of bullshit.

Very little of what you mention was obvious to me. From the courtyard forward was the only place I wasn’t completely lost all the time.
Before that, the multi-level section around where you get locked in with a knight, the labyrinthine rooms around the kitchen, the rampart tops and rooftops, the outside sections… Everything was pure confusion. Kept coming back to the same places, entering one of the million nearly identical looking doors, going round and round without ever reaching the place I was trying to reach…
Subtle hints don’t really suffice for people without a sense of direction.

You know Stormveil is a nightmare in which people get lost and confused for hours, right?
Not quite as bad as Leyndell, but I’ve had very bad times getting lost in those places. Almost dropped and game over it.

The location of this comma, really annoys me.
- Comment on Technically correct 3 weeks ago:
Physicist Albert Einstein did not commit suicide. That statement is true.
It’s only technically correct because it’s an obvious truth not worth shouting from the rooftops.
The author likely meant to say that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself. His death was ruled as a suicide but is thought by many to have been a murder to silence him because of all the secrets he knew.

Oh thanks. I’d have never guessed

I don’t know what’s best, but I know FF7 Remake’s annoys me because I always expect it to have i-frames, but it doesn’t.

That’s good. My first instinct would’ve been that what’s in toothpaste is plenty.
- Comment on flouride 1 month ago:
Before even wondering about the health effects, we should ask ourselves whether it actually achieves the desired goal. I doubt that.
If it doesn’t, we don’t even need to wonder about safety; we’ll just stop burning money.
- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 1 month ago:
Expectations.
People don’t expect a country that’s supposed to be a close ally to do actual pure evil.
Russia has always been in a different category. It’s oscillated between being an outright enemy and being a distant, somewhat-ally the West is suspicious of. Either way, Putin was never someone you trust.
When someone betrays your expectations, you have a stronger emotional response.
When you feel like your country is actually helping with evil acts, that’s another layer of emotional response.
But if someone you feel like you can’t do anything about and has always been bad anyway is being evil, again… Well it’s a bit of a “no shit, Sherlock” moment. Doesn’t spark anger in quite the same way.
- Comment on Anon needs cooking advice 1 month ago:
Once i completely forgot the salt in my bread. It was disgustingly bland; like, I couldn’t believe a teaspoon of salt would have such a massive effect.
But I actually salvaged it by putting salt on every slice of toast I made with that loaf.
It worked out okay!

Assuming it’s just like a Steam Deck without the screen, how would that compare to popular controllers like consoles first-party ones or 8bitdo’s offerings?
- Comment on How to avoid having cat hair all over my house and clothes every 2 days? 2 months ago:
Have you tried brush-gloves? The idea is that they allow you to brush your pet every time you pet them. Having several in every room where you’re likely to spend time with your cat could be the key to brushing more while not feeling like you do.

Both are young. I think that’s about it.

I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.

- Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming 2 months ago:
Sadly TVs with DisplayPort support are very rare, and mine is not one of them.
- Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming 2 months ago:
Used to do this. I had issues with either the audio or the video feed randomly dying, though, so I ended up finding a way to make HDMI+USB work when I moved.
More reliable, but now that I’m starting to think about reorganizing my office, copper will no longer do for 4K120 as that’ll go over the 5-meter limit. And an optical high bandwidth HDMI+USB isn’t cheap.
Upsides and downsides…
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 2 months ago:
I wanted some foreign goods to get more expensive. To end slavery, not to escalate a trade war!
I should have checked my vicinity for any stray monkey’s paws when I made that wish.

Upscale it to 4K for no reason

Come to think of it, I’ve heard that all my life but never questioned it. Is it really true for all of them?
- Comment on She must be unhinged 2 months ago:
I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it’s not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.
I hadn’t thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.

I thought casting students as inanimate objects or plants only happened in TV shows.

Wait, does it? Are joules in thermal energy per kelvin a purely linear relationship?

Dicarbon monoxide. Wikipedia is shockingly poor in information about it, but “stable” is certainly not the first word I’d use to describe it.

What kills me is when people will mix the two in a single context.
“Between eight and 13 percent”
NO. If you’re writing one number in digits, you need to write them all the same way.
