Lighting them all evenly at once is another engineering task. I propose an overheated pan or other metal surface because everything with open fire gonna suck big time.
- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 1 week ago:
I find it more reliable as it has less mechanical parts, but I am curious if someone did a scientifical aproximation of how long it would last.

Drop a thumb stick (mechanical failure) into a plastic zip-lock in a vacuum (oxygen) then into a metal thermos mug with water (pressure and radiation) then dig it really deep (accidential discovery and weather). By the time it deteriorates you’d have problems finding USB interfaces to plug it in. The location itself is largely irrelevant, but I’d recommend some place far from human-occupied places.
The authoritarian state problem isn’t solveable, but you can defend it by obscurity, like not leaving a trace of thinking about this info cache, or leaving too many of these caches to reliably dig up all of them.

- Comment on ZeniMax staff discuss Microsoft's "inhumane" mass layoffs and how the future looks for the "carcass of workers that remains" 3 weeks ago:
They claim staff were removed from company communications such as Slack and email before human resources had even made contact to inform them whether they’d been let go.
The creative energy they put into inventing new reasons for gamedevs to hate their job could be better put in, like, games?

If this trailer references some plot point from the actual game, I’d be interested in learning why she reached out for the ancient puzzlebox in the middle of couple’s bathing.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 4 weeks ago:
I might be wrong but a lot of it’s wikipedia page looks like this city was completely reconstructed from the ground up in said period of time that makes it too exceptional for this comparison and not a usual occurence even in China. It became a major hub of China-EU trade upping it’s importance and neccesitating a boost in infrastructural efficiency while it’s population effectively doubled. A great move all around tho.

It’s gonna be a shame if H4ckerM4n2015 may brick you Switch after loosing a game of Mario Kart.
- Comment on Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database 4 weeks ago:
I doubt their claim. How does LLM communicate directly to different systems in their infrastructure? What even promts it to act to begin with?
Unless they went out of their way creating such interface for some reason, it is plain bullshit and human error, or a coverup by a skinbag CEO. He made screenshots of LLM taking the blame on itself that, as a concept, completely impossible, and we belive his lying ass lips. If only he asked it, at what stage AI is now, he could’ve lied better.

- Comment on What should I get my online friend for their birthday? 4 weeks ago:
Have you considered sending them a physical letter? You can put a lot of digital goods as codes there (even steam games, albeit bought in 3rd party stores), also gift cards like ‘$10 in X store chain’ if that’s a thing at their place, but the novelty (hehe) of getting a birthday card that they can keep is waaay more cool than a gift notification. See if that’s possible and is up your alley.
- Comment on You'd need to calculate the compound interest 4 weeks ago:
Unethical number game suggests that if you invest 5mil into property now, you’d soon afford to double that, then quadruple that, then… By the end of said term, every square meter of Earth would hold some kind of an empty apartment complex.

- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 5 weeks ago:
I agree. But hear me out:
Portal 3 explores the fleet of Gaben’s megayachts with puzzles to get a control of them and also some abordaging\swimming mini-games to get from one to another, from smaller to bigger, with the last one being the promised Aurora Borealis, where game leaves us on an uncertain moment after we too see the feared G-Man but in Freeman’s glasses, got catched by a Smoker’s tonque in mall ninja rainbow colouring, only to be freed by Pudge teaming up with Scout.

- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 5 weeks ago:
The Talos Principle became an interesting spin on the idea of FPS puzzles that try to keep you engaged. They got more direct with introducing the lore of the world around each time (P1<TTP1≈P2<TTP2). The puzzles are probably less eye-catching because you rarely shoot yourself into air, they are closer to classic 2d logic timekiller games, but I find these games are what Valve need to look at to see if they want to expand the world like that in their own way. If we assume Portal 3 would be about portals, wouldn’t reinvent the formula from the ground up, I think they’d need to go for higher stakes, and seemingly expanding the world or the mission at hand (from the probably sterile conditions of it all affecting just Chel and Apperture’s robots and facilities), be it an escape into the outer world of some sort (although it overlaps with Half-Life, is it bad?) or make her herself not the only thing at stake. My only hope is that it won’t be AR\VR\whatever experience because it would make me nauseos and\or poor.

- Comment on What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? 5 weeks ago:
Singleplayer games with time-based farming simulator minigames you won’t complete without gaming the date\time in your system (easter eggs are welcome tho). Grindy platinum achievements well outside even a dedicated minority’s norms, just getting bigger numbers or save skamming for opposing endings. Button-mashers with an undisclosed randomization of a final result under the hood.

Putting a QTE or a limited time choice in a long cutscene or a level segment.
