It’s not. Roundabouts work better than intersections.
The whole game can be read as propaganda against car-centric traffic management because road planning just becomes a nightmare at some point that incentivizes you heavily to diversify into public transportation and even walkable city blocks.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 1 week ago:
the bigger issue is that generally people think men are evil by default, and women are good by default. and that’s not a cultural assumption most folks are willing to look past.
I consider myself a feminist and I vehemently disagree with that take, nor does it reflect in any way the commonly held views in the relevant communities.
Women and men are people. All people hold the capacity for good and evil within them. The real differences are 1) our respective socialization, and 2) the way we are perceived and treated by society based on our gender. That’s not an individual issue, but a systemic one.
I’ve been part of a few support groups for men that regularly received appreciation from women specifically because they were aimed at helping men in recognition of this fact, and thus didn’t revolve into inceldom and gender war nonsense.

But in either case there’s massive value in the existing content that would be lost.

Ah. I’ve spent hundreds of hours on Anno games and always considered them part of the range of RTS. Are you sure those terms are incompatible? Seems like a strategy game can be “grand” and “real-time” at the same time.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
tbf a lot of people don’t buy a top notch rig for RTS games, so I think it’s entirely valid to test on a dated PC and point out if this is a weakness - but not record gameplay on it exclusively.
If one reviewer has an insufficient PC, assign it to a different person - at least the gameplay recording.

No, not if you sit down.

Perfect aim still splatters small droplets all around. Try placing a newspaper next to your toilet.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 2 months ago:
Extremely silly post. Reactionary gender war nonsense. Everyone can and does and should sit down, that’s why it’s unisex. Stop hitching your identity and ego to the way your dad told you to piss.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 2 months ago:
You can say it’s a bad deal, they are mismanaging the project etc. but calling it a scam is just hyperbole.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 2 months ago:
Yeah the whole series is geared towards co-op, though the first a bit less so than the sequels.
Gotta say I’m surprised people report so many challenges with the games. I’ve played all four mainline titles, three of them in co-op, and rarely had session troubles and never performance issues.
- Comment on Reddit lost it 2 months ago:
Yeah that’s not what they mean. They mean teaching an llm on recorded texts and speeches from a person, then instruct it to pretend to be that person. Like that AI murder victim “testimony” that was permitted to be shown in court as “evidence” some time ago.

Exactly, none of them are innocent, so that part is just plain irony. “hypothetically terrorize” makes sense because simply identifying as anti-fascist can get you on terror watch lists these days.

How dare you hypothetically terrorize innocent fascists!

- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 3 months ago:
Cheating humans already perform closely enough to trick such a system. Many cheaters are smart enough to use an aimbot only for a split-second to nail the flick. With a tiny bit of random offset, those inputs indistinguishable from a high-skill player.

Stripe can also go fuck itself and die, thanks
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 3 months ago:
Unfortunately they are indeed big players, Stripe where people use credit cards and PayPal everywhere else. Both horrible companies that we’d be a lot better off if replaced with privacy-respecting alternatives.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Yes that is absolutely the norm in such communities. It was the same for subreddits that went default.
Obviously you can’t trace every single up-/downvote and comment to a certain gender, but it’s very apparent from the content of comments and the general tone. That’s the whole issue.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I entirely agree. Power dynamics and questions of projected vs chosen identities add whole new dimensions to the matter. I restricted myself to this limited analogy to avoid losing those who aren’t ready for that conversation and insist on focusing on individualist perspectives.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
We’re all human but that doesn’t erase systemic issues. And not being effectively brigaded is all they ask for.

“male scum” oof. Cool it with the self-victimization mate.
If you genuinely don’t understand why it’s helpful to have both kinds of spaces and not something to get mad about, I’m happy to explain. But some good-faith effort on your part is required.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Consider what the word “majority” means and how that impacts the balance of such discussions. Especially on a platform where people vote on each other’s comments.
In the Linux forum example, the occasional “as a Windows user…” comment isn’t a problem, but it does become one when it makes up 80-90% of comments / visitors. Try to understand how this shapes a community when the fewer directly affected people are annoyed by this and stop contributing.
