- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 5 days ago:
I’d say treaties are indeed a technology; they’re frameworks / systems that arose around the time commerce was invented. Since technology is purely the application of knowledge to achieve goals, while they may be somewhat intangible, so is software which I think most would agree is technology.

You can play the bridge simulator at home; they’re running Empty Epsilon - a FOSS project.

- Comment on Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version 2 weeks ago:
Yikes that was written poorly. Author flips back and forth between Deadlock and Deathlock.
- Comment on Why don't Oblivion and Morrowind turn the character model when you run in different directions? 2 weeks ago:
Bang for buck.
Morrowind was made by a team of about 35 people. Sure they could have put the effort in but then you’ve got all those animations to make and test. How do they tie into stats? Do they look dumb at higher stat levels? Also they’ll use up a little more resources on console which was a big struggle (Morrowind literally had to reboot the Xbox mid game to free up memory).
- Comment on Paradox Interactive's return-to-office policy may be driving employees away from the studio 2 weeks ago:
Personally, these mandates have been a positive. We’ve been hoovering up incredible talent to join our team since we’re a remote-first org (we have offices and co-working spaces for those that want or need it; some don’t have space in their homes to work or want the in-person socialisation).
The stupidity of these orgs with these mandates - their best and critically important talent are the first to leave. Not to mention how some of the best talent have long left the major urban areas and will never be moving back.
I feel incredibly bad for the juniors though, who will be left picking up the pieces of these terrible management decisions.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 4 weeks ago:
Keka is FOSS, supports 7z for both commission and decompression, and is native to macOS.
- Comment on Infrastructure construction in Britain is defective. The most budget UK tramway is more expensive than the most costly french tramway 1 month ago:
Why is this the case?
- Comment on Javascript/Linux is what I call it 1 month ago:
*Javascript (Java is a different language altogether).
Side thought; you just reminded me of the days when websites were running Java applets or Shockwave all over the place. shudders
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 1 month ago:
NetHack takes me waaaay back. Blows my mind DevTeam are still working on it. I haven’t played in a few years. NetHack, Angband, C:DDA, etc are all games I play on long haul flights since they use the least battery and I’ve not been on a long haul since the pandemic.

That and Dwarf Fortress; learning curve is steep but they’re rogue-likes. Death is an opportunity to have a whole other adventure and learn from your mistakes and see what RNG has in store for you this time. And there’s infinitely repeatable!

Also big up for Cataclysm: DDA. One of the greatest games ever made.

Free means you can easily get any friends to dip in and play which is a big factor.

Stunning! Thank you for sharing.

That movie was shot in 3B - three beers - and it looks good, eh?
- Comment on fuck this asshole 2 months ago:
Makes sense; sow further division in the groups who don’t like Trump so there’s less opposition to him.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 2 months ago:
Which is a fantastic way to get people to care more about politics lol.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 2 months ago:
Sorry, did you just blame the people who didn’t vote for Trump for being responsible for Trump being president? Interesting mental gymnastics there…
- Comment on I've been replaying Into The Breach lately and stumbled on what I think is an insane power squad. 2 months ago:
Subset Games rock. Really looking forward to whatever they put out next. It’s been rather quiet from them but they said in an AMA they have several prototypes kicking around. Fingers crossed.

I’m so so so sorry to hear that but I hope you can find some warmth in knowing ahead of time a poem that means a lot to her and that you can hold on to and always remember her by.
My heart goes out to you.
- Comment on Do not stand at my grave and weep 2 months ago:
I love the indentations and line breaks of the original when first published:
Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry—
I am not there,
I did not die.— Clare Harner, The Gypsy, December 1934
- Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion 2 months ago:
Yeah an ex Virtuos developer said they had been working on a remake in UE5 for Bethesda. Can’t find the reference but it was a big rumour a while ago.
- Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion 2 months ago:
They need to. Strong rumours that Bethesda has tasked a studio to remake Oblivion in a different engine.

If true, this whole story is utterly appalling. I feel so bad for the original founder.

You seem like a really unhappy, bitter, vulgar person. You should seek some therapy, especially if you occasionally think “why does no one like hanging out with me in person?”

Ah yes, we can’t let our child know about sex so here, have this game where you murder people instead. Hahaha.
