Yeah, I think it was slowbeef if my memory isn’t failing me. But I think people were doing long plays before then? I could have the two mixed up.
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 2 days ago:
I don’t think this story is about that. It’s about making games more expensive based on how much they think you’ll pay.
This specific study in the article is about making games cheaper to see if that makes people more likely to spend, but you just know they’re going to also make them more expensive if this works out

Shit, my steam account is older than most of the highschoolers I work with

The breading they used is all wrong for tofu. Just deep fry it as is,or cover it in corn starch and spices

The old “we don’t want to put any effort into creating anything good, we just want to milk this for cash until we can’t anymore.”

Nope, it’s always cloudy. Or like some valleys are cloudy and some are sunny. But they are predictable.
- Comment on Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution? 3 weeks ago:
I dislike the French for normal reasons, not weird nationalistic ones.

They’re all pretty much the same except for a couple, like nix, Gentoo, slackware, etc. maybe stay away from those. fuck around and find out is the best way.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 4 weeks ago:
Outer worlds 1 was fine. It was goofy, had character, but no depth to it’s story. The gunplay was not good, not for me anyway. Can we not do bullet sponges and leveled lists? Can levels give you abilities instead of numbers? Honestly would have been a better game if it was an isometric RPG, which obsidian is good at making.

Breaking news! Zenimax is still completely out of touch with it’s fan base.

I am thinking that maybe this is a sarcasm? A little jokey joke perhaps?
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I feel my social battery recover when I have positive experiences with friends and even with strangers. But I used to think I was introverted because working up to do anything social was a huge drain. Turns out the problem isn’t people, it’s my anxiety…
Are there any introverts that don’t have much anxiety? What’s the opposite like?

That’s what I was thinking, it’s not even a glass fiber-optic. Works fine for audio though and lasers are cool, so it all balances out

We got some fun ones by me too, like Ausable river, that comes from French. But we pronounce it Ah-sable(but sable like a sable hair brush)
- Comment on Bread mold 2 months ago:
So I can’t actually find anything from a quick search that tells me what “bread poisoning” is. Searches show results for both moldy bread as well as ergotism. Just about every source on the Internet tells me that eating a bunch of moldy bread should just give you a bad case of shits or vomits. But if someone is immunocompromised or has gut issues it could be worse.
But if this was ergot poisoning that’s different and doesn’t have much to do with ordinary bread mold.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 months ago:
One of the best things in games that aren’t super polished or balanced is figuring out how to exploit the game. It gives you the same kind of feeling you get from getting to the end game in Gothic (or something like that). Getting powerful through your own skill and commitment to the game. Steady progression is good sometimes, but so is feeling progress.
Also yeah sometimes I cheat in single player games
- Comment on Insulin 3 months ago:
If I’m remembering the original sysntesis for insulin used dogs, and it was harvest from them after being killed. It’s unjust that insulin is so expensive, but also modern production methods are not the problem here. It’s greed.
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 3 months ago:
I have to practice pretty hard to do that, it’s much easier in a journal than in my head to dialogue. Do you find it helps being mindful?
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 3 months ago:
Mine don’t stop either, but it’s just constant words. Are your thoughts mostly images?
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 3 months ago:
Some people also don’t have an internal monologue. I’m probably a 3 or 4, it takes significant effort to see something in my head. But my thoughts a words and they definitely have a voice.
I assume there is a scale for how well we can imagine every sense.

I think there’s nematodes that we’ve blended up before, but instead you get a bunch of nematodes instead of just one.
- Comment on Calling all Dickheads! 3 months ago:
I’m about 200 pages in, it’s really good. But I wish there was a primer I could read about the themes, symbols, and historical context of the book. Just so I know what I’m looking out for. Searching for things on the Internet has gotten frustrating though. I did find the website that has notes about what all the words mean though.
- Comment on Not impressed 3 months ago:
I’m still not totally clear on where the line for plants is, what’s the deal with phytoplankton? Why isn’t brown algae a plant? What are archaea? Also wtf is a species? is there a point in learning biology where things start to make sense again or does in only get muddier from here
- Comment on be a friend to the animals 3 months ago:
It’s a comfort show that’s still popular. But for some people they just don’t get it. Kinda like how the office is a comfort show. Why do people still watch them? Not sure, I don’t get the appeal. But it’s pretty common to have a comfort show and that’s probably fine.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 3 months ago:
Probably not helpful but when I was roofing and at work for 11-12 hours a day, getting home and going for a short run really helped out (~4 miles). Something about that cardio gave me more energy and would guarantee I’d at least take a shower after. I think I was only running 3-4 days a week then.
It’s also a great time to decompress, just being alone with your thoughts a little. Then for a while after your heart rate is elevated and you’ve got some extra energy.
- Comment on Perfection 3 months ago:
I think the period that this book was illuminated in was from later when really fancy books was more of a business for the church. Usually the very early illuminated books were made by a single monk doing most steps of the process (prepping parchment, calligraphy, painting, binding, etc.) but the later books like this may have had different artists for the illuminated letters vs the borders. So there could have been one monk that just likes sea stuff and he was too good for the other brothers to tell him to stop.
Source: mostly vibes, but I’ve dipped my toes into illumination and guilding
- Comment on Plant Protection 3 months ago:
I just remembered that shaggy mane, another dung loving species, tends to grow on leech fields or wherever septic tanks live. So I think they will just grow anywhere there’s poop, no need to be eaten.
- Comment on Plant Protection 3 months ago:
I believe Psilocybin cubensis evolved with this in mind, where the spores get on grass, then they do their funky thing in the cow guts. Cow poops them out and the mushrooms come out of the cow pies.
