  Whoever comes out with the first affordable robot that can do this will make bank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unconventional strategy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do these screenshots always show the comments in the wrong order? Is twitter really set up like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On This Problem Rational People Do Worse— Two boxes, one choice, and $1,000,000.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is in no-way rational to be a two-boxer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I really love this approach and find myself employing it more the older I get. The second game has the best simplicity/fun ratio imo but 4 is also pretty good in that regard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses flash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “Hey guys, hear me out… what if we take all these great tools and replace them with… nothing?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascism bad.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny how they aren’t afraid of disease. You probably need a decent frontal lobe for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still pissed about the rootkit scandal. That was 21 years ago now, and I haven’t spent a penny on Sony products since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst mistake we made was making it easy enough for normies to use.

  You want higher-quality people, you need to make it harder to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox as a platform is officially dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ugh, that reads like it was written by an llm. Please tell me that human beings don’t actually write like this now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Something I’ve noticed is that doctors like to offload saying “no” to insurance companies so they don’t have to do it themselves. That’s at least part of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nothing really matters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The staple that single-handedly keeps ~4 billion humans alive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald’s CEO’s awkward taste test sparks mocking online: ‘His aura screams kale salad’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it funny that autism-central is raking this guy over the coals for being socially awkward

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most accurate one of these I’ve ever seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nothing & no one is safe from this plague⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly, AI has nothing to do with God if one exists

  I don’t see how that is clear lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am an amateur propagandist. A hobbyist. Enthusiast, if you will.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You make it sound automatic. No, they make you sign yourself up for it. Just to rub it in “we own you,” I guess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember when the whole family had to share it because you only had one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, because the rest of my family had no interest in using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly the bipeds are much more popular and make more money for whatever fuckall reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 7 of posting an indie game I found that I think looks cool - Dice A Million⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was really surprised by this one. Seems to be the only Balatro clone that “gets it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pokémon Winds and Waves announced, releasing 2027⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife is a true blue pokemon fan, even loved Sword and Shield…

  And even she couldn’t finish ZA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Video Games were Brown. | Ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody has accused them of brown.

  They do, though. It’s always “games” are brown with a wink-wink nudge-nudge that certain games aren’t really games. If they were being fair, they would clarify that they mean that it’s FPS and RPGs they mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Utah city is removing raised traffic-calming measures on a busy road after backlash from residents⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When they put them in, they had to know that making drivers angry was the whole point, no? So they were prepared to put them in but they couldn’t stand up to the illegitimate bellyaching afterward?

  Lame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grim Dawn celebrates its 10th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Torchlight II and Grim Dawn were the only games that were able to fill the Diablo II-shaped hole in my heart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Push to eliminate sales tax on food and groceries in Missouri runs into resistance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are states where they aren’t?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨he forgor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Laudable goal, but whatever they’re doing isn’t working based on some of the graduates I’ve known.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And no social media graffiti on the title screen.

  I’m still weirded out by that, all these years later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You missed Idaho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Because, f**k you! That's why.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Puppy Linux is Perfect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do care. See archive.org for example.

  Conflating care with the bottom line of your corporation is disingenuous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon observes a coworker⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been in this literal exact situation. If it hadn’t happened 20 years ago I’d be worried this anon is talking about me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We need more diversity in game engines, not less, so I’m fine with this
