- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 3 days ago:
I had similar idea a while ago but admittedly more political than mundane.
You’re a boss in your corporation. game’s objective is to be annoying and mess around with your worker. But somehow through your abuse you also have to keep your corporation alive financially.
It’s a mix of sandbox & tycoon. but the gameplay should be more sandboxed to really allow player create mess, and not very pressured by the goals created by the tycoon aspect.

Thank you for the recommendation! That does sound familiar. The Scythian is the people the Greeks called to what Persian people call Saka.

I used to watch this video two years ago, and a few other horse history video on that channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMHqp0M0T4Q
It’s a more approachable video for general audience so it may not be super scientific. But they included the source/papers in the description from proper academics.
Wild horses were originally not fit for riding. It is found that their bones would not be able to support to be ridden. But at the time, horses also started interacting with human & being domesticated as food & material sources.
But human do realize the power horses have. Human started developing chariots to be pulled by horses. The chariot technology spread around the north eurasian steppe to south in the south-west asia & egypt. But I cannot definitively say if the chariot techbology in egypt or persia came from north or it’s developed locally. I haven’t exactly find out about the relationship of both region when it comes to chariot technology.
During few thousand years later horses also slowly evolved physicaly to be able to be ridden. And so in later bronze age, nomadic steppe people emerges such as the Saka/Scythians, Xiongnu, etc.
My personal searching two years ago was definitely very focused on central asia/eurasian steppe region. So I cannot say much about the same stuff happening in south-west asia despite I know there are a lot going on in that area at the same time. But then after writing this and re-read the question, this doesn’t exactly answer why horses allow human to ride them 🤣🤣 I only say about how human changed horse.

- Comment on MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff 5 weeks ago:
depends on who you follow I guess. I always follow people who I decide I want to keep seeing their post. I don’t follow famous people if they post boring stuff. I also don’t follow brand account that are just posting ads lol, like software brand account, etc. I follow 516 accounts and it’s feels pretty lively.
Though with that amount of following I feel like there are few accounts that got their post buried because they post less frequently.
I mostly follow few gamedev people, few FOSS & tech people, non-tech related “fedi shitposters”, and history/archaeology-posting accounts. The shitpoters, gamedev, and tech are the loudest. The latter posts semi-regularly but they just don’t have other people interacted with it. Though I still enjoy their posts.
conversely, I had a alt account on different instance but I don’t actively follow so much account, it feels so empty. though that particular instance have some funny people so the local feed is also quite funny sometimes. So which instance to join is also matters particularly for the local feed.
But it’s also that personally now I’d get slightly annoyed when totally random post appears on my timeline on Bluesky and especially Tumblr. Especially Tumblr which keeps assuming I like taylor swift.
- Comment on MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff 5 weeks ago:
I think Lemmy ia harder to filter. My mastodon/sharkey feed is clean from being US-centric because there’s content warning feature, people use it, and people describes their image well in the alt-text. That works well with filter. Even the public federated feed i still very clean.
Lemmy however is less robust on that. My Lemmy frontend is not helping either. It does have filter feature but I don’t think it works. I can’t say anything on Piefed, haven’t tried it at all.

- Comment on Valve released a new VR helmet? 3 months ago:
I watched TechAltar video on th facebook company, being mostly still owned by zuck, he really can took the risk from doing something big and then fail. and they now chasing gen AI stuff.
I also feel Apple tried something like metaverse with Vision Pro. Expecting people to use it as a device that they’d use in day-to-day activities, sometimes look dystopian.
But I’ve only seen few videos of people the Vision Pro on the street, and it was only viral when it was released. I don’t live in the US to see if people really do that.
- Comment on Valve released a new VR helmet? 3 months ago:
I doubt facebook’s fantasy of metaverse will happen but gaming purposes of VR is much more realistic goal and it’s already happened, though maybe still a niche.

I used to play this a lot. Somehow I had the creativity to make movies in the game back then. Even without knowing how to read English, and scrolling few dozens of scene template et cetera.
Nowadays I would consider that as a chore even if now I can speak English

- Comment on TheGamer website suffers widespread editorial layoffs 3 months ago:
TheGamer came out of nowhere too. Back when I used faceboook almost a decade ago, I used to follow a gaming meme page. They post typical gaming shitposts of that era.
Then one day every shitpost they post is branded with TheGamer logo, the page renamed to TheGamer. I don’t remember the original page name but it gave me disingenious vibe from TheGamer lol.
Every once in a while they’d post buzzfeed-type of articles from their website. I eventually unfollowed the page.

Meh I’ve been feeling that since 2018, release of RTX cards and raytracing marketing hype. Since then my perception towards AAA games have become harder to reach; require newer hardware, bigger disk space, better internet to download and more expensive price.
