- Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" 14 hours ago:
The response to it as bait is that anyone saying that seriously is an idiot.
If you are referring to this:
Once she was done, I say to her “Let’s get you out of that wet dress. I imagine it must be uncomfortable. I’ve never actually worn a wet dress before”.
That is just someone who blurts out a thought they had after saying something else, pretty common with ADHD. Like at first they were thinking about wet shorts, which can get pretty uncomfortable fast if they aren’t made to get wet, then realized dresses might not have the same feeling since they aren’t connected in the middle. I could absolutely see myself saying something along these lines depending on the material of the clothing and the appearance of how it sticks to the body.
- Comment on When someone asks for help/asks what something is on Reddit and the top comments are just stupid jokes that don't answer OP's question 15 hours ago:
It would be possible to set up that way, just couldn’t think of one off the top of my head that already allowed for picking both.

Me, funny stuff gets upvoted for being funny. At least the comment chains can be collapsed easily.
A voting system that differentiates between funny and informative would help, but sometimes comments are both…

It is more so that the singer’s response to their reaction was to say she was shy or having an affair and it turned out to be the latter. Being a ceo was the cherry on top.
- Comment on Novels and Movies Offer Closure. Video Games Should Too. [The New York Times] 20 hours ago:
Wanting closure is a preference and does not apply to all games. Counter Strike 2 doesn’t have a story and there is zero closure for example.
The industry trying to force games into a live service model when they shouldn’t be is a problem, sure. There are a few games where the model actually is a benefit though, like Helldivers 2. Other than wrapping up things somehow while winding down the game there isn’t an opportunity for closure while an endless war is going on. The setting itself is why closure isn’t on the table.
So I agree with the overall idea as it applies to games in general, but it isn’t some universal truth.
- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 20 hours ago:
It sure looks like this is displayed after peeling back the very top layer that is still slightly attached at the top right in the image.
So they most likely did not know this was a thing when they purchased it.
- Comment on Helldivers 3 is "hopefully many years away" says Arrowhead's CEO, who did not vote for gun 22 hours ago:
Jorjani joked about Arrowhead possibly naming the city what the studio likes anyway, adding: “I really don’t like the name GUN personally. but not my decision”.
Arrowhead picking their own name after a public vote would be an one version of managed democracy.

- Comment on ‘Subnautica 2’ Leaders Say Krafton Sabotaged Game Over Payout [new events in the Subnautica 2 story] 2 days ago:
They paid for their expertise, even offering a bonus that was clearly less than whatever their projected profit would be, and then tried to squander it because they didn’t listen to their expertise.
Publishers in all kinds of industries are risk adverse to the point of not trusting whoever they made deals with to follow through. This is totally on brand for publishers!
- Comment on ‘Subnautica 2’ Leaders Say Krafton Sabotaged Game Over Payout [new events in the Subnautica 2 story] 2 days ago:
One developer at a separate company who played Subnautica 2 and requested anonymity because they signed a non-disclosure agreement told Bloomberg they enjoyed the game and that it “seemed way more robust” than other titles in early access.
Yeah, this is clearly the publisher trying to get out of paying the full bonus.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 2 days ago:
If a large number of refunds came from a single source it seems like Steam would be the one addressing the issue, not payment processors.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 2 days ago:
No, they should have zero say because they have weaseled themselves into a position that is the equivalent of a utility or whatever ISP are classified as. Their only involvement is whether they complete transactions between parties in a legal way.
- Comment on Now Microsoft’s Copilot Vision AI can scan everything on your screen 2 days ago:
I assume anything related to AI data collection is collecting the data anyway and the ‘choices’ are just whether or not you see and interact with it.
But yes, if you have to click something to see it then it is technically opt in from a user interface standpoint.

There are far more answers than I remember seeing yesterday when I voted. Does it add extra options each time someone puts a reason into ‘Other’?
