I always sacrifice some small piece of fruit or meat to them when the wasps are getting annoying. 65% of the time, it works everytime and they fuck off with their gift and never come back
- Comment on Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version 4 days ago:
KF2 has some amazing animations for guns handling (and great feeling when shooting) that still hold up to this day. Such a shame that they ruined the art direction with all the shiny shit.

Yep. Joining your favorite TF2 server on a Saturday afternoon and seeing that half of the server playing sandvich heavies, doing a conga line, having a full on philosophical discussion in the spectator chat, or annoying the engineers as a group of spycrabs was peak gaming

Here’s hoping KF3 doesn’t suck (unfortunately the odds don’t look too good currently)
- Comment on Liquid Trees 4 days ago:
I think the idea behind this is that algae are more space-efficient than trees at producing oxygen and/or capturing CO2. Of course this is also ignoring that the bulk of a tree’s volume is high above the ground, and they also provide other things like shade and shelter for insects etc.

They’re Elder Millennials at best (born in the 80’s, maybe late 70’s). Or do they qualify as another generation ?
- Comment on After Years of Struggle, Blizzard Has Found Itself in Uncharted Territory: Overwatch Players Are Having Fun Again 4 days ago:
Yep, just like TF2, that they copied, game is not fun if everyone starts taking it too seriously. I feel like Valve understood that and that’s why they never really pushed the competitive scene.

in 2004, a new category of astronaut was created: the commercial astronaut.
Let’s not mix the people who saw colleagues die and put their own lives on the line for science with the human billboard receiving money to advertise a rich fuck’s commercial vanity project that’s already been deemed safe (in no small parts due to it being tested by actual astronauts beforehand).

- Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character? 5 days ago:
Either you have to do some work for the tower’s master. That could be stuff like cleaning their orbs so they can ponder them later, preparing/finding magical critters to be used in their potions, putting away his stupid sentient magical artifacts that keep trying to escape or do some shenanigans… Whatever. And try to gather information/find escape routes etc. But imo if there is some knight gameplay, it should be a minor part of the experience, otherwise you will indeed feel like you’re just playing the knight
- Comment on From 4chan to the White House: James Ball explains how failing to take games seriously has fed the populist right 1 week ago:
All you need to notice is that the painfully politically neutral (e.g mandalore) people making content about games literally never mention this. Because that is a stale, pointless debate that never adds anything to a game’s analysis.

I instantly thought about redcaps, but they’re quite bloodthirsty, so it doesn’t really fit what they say in the meme.

- Comment on Anon achieves a higher form 1 week ago:
The OP in this screenshot feels superior because they are reading classical literature, which they believe is Greek but is actually Latin, and talking to an awkward bookstore employee on their first day who got flustered because they forgot that Ovid’s metamorphoses was also a thing and were probably initially quite proud of themselves for instantly guessing “Kafka” when someone mentioned a book called metamorphoses.
Or maybe OP is just rage baiting ancient Greek/latin nerds.

A lot of daedric princes quests are much more interesting than in Skyrim imo

Yeah imo the gates were kind of a chore, seconding the shivering isles

You can do 1% of the effort it you strategically place the toy where the cat will inevitably get it stuck. I have a coffee table with a bottom part where you can store things, so there’s a 10 cm gap between the bottom and the floor. Trying to get his toys from under there after he swatted them too hard can keep my cat very busy

- Comment on Chinese people flood TikTok with videos urging Americans to buy direct amid Trump tariffs 3 weeks ago:
Afaik french haute couture shit (like Vuitton) really don’t. They’d rather play with all the grey areas of the law of various European countries to buy their leather from some factories in Italy where work safety standards are seen as more of guidelines than rules and they illegally employ immigrants to pay them the shittiest salary possible. Then get that shit to France and pay someone a pittance to make the bag even though it’s very tedious and precise work, so you can say it was made in France with European leather.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 3 weeks ago:
I have spent time and effort creating things myself. Still think ip law is not entirely accomplishing what it should, which is protecting the interests of people producing intellectual works, preferably while they can still reap the benefits of said work and are not financially/socially stable. It seems it’s basically working backwards, great for inheritors to make millions by doing nothing except owning some IPs but terrible at protecting the people who actually need it.
I also know a few people holding some important patents, and I guess the patent system is alright in comparison, at least in France, since it did actually protect their work while also allowing others to use it fairly and improve on it.

Least concerning Renault engine
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
That is almost 3 times the highway speed limit and roughly 83 m/s if I got the math right. At that speed the car will travel 40m on average before you even press the brake pedal, then the average car will take probably about 1s (which I think is conservatively low) of emergency braking to stop (or almost), traveling another 83m.

It becomes effectively, from an emotional standpoint, like their child.
It’s the same with code. It involves more basic logic than art but it’s still creative work imo. Hell, there’s even artistic forms of coding.
