Apparently ultra-high-IQ people like to use comma splices too.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 1 week ago:
I miss when JS was just a silly thing you could use to add trails to the mouse cursor to impress anyone who stumbled onto your geocities page
- Comment on RPGs that are optionally pacifist? 1 week ago:
Also forgot to mention the latest version has tiles support that looks like this: Image
So you don’t have to play with ASCII graphics. ;)
- Comment on RPGs that are optionally pacifist? 1 week ago:
Sil (specifically Sil-Q, the most modern fork) is a great Tolkien-esque roguelike in the vein of Angband where pacifism is a first-class citizen. You get a lot of XP just by observing hostiles from the shadows. I highly recommend it!
- Comment on Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter 1 week ago:
Descent II has maybe the most unique soundtrack I have ever heard in a game.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 1 week ago:
Cities make more money than farms. Shocking stuff
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 1 week ago:
To me it’s insane that food also isn’t on that list. Anything that isn’t a luxury can’t be trusted to be handled by capitalism.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 1 week ago:
You’re being too gracious. These companies could have given itch.io enough time to classify the games properly, but they didn’t.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 1 week ago:
The Q&A on their website makes them look like nonreligious feminists then? Where did you get that impression from?
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 1 week ago:
I never thought I would say this, but cryptocurrency might have a use after all.
- Comment on Everything is a problem 2 weeks ago:
click the calls app and click the contact
Two things you don’t have to do on a dedicated phone. I bet you had to unlock your phone first, too.
- Comment on What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now? 2 weeks ago:
Youtube is not a ‘community.’ Fuck youtube.
- Comment on Napster - I miss it. All free and it worked great 3 weeks ago:
I miss good GUIs.
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
It strikes me that I have no point of reference because I haven’t seen any ads for 20 years. If they stopped doing y2k edgy-style ads, what are they like now?
- Comment on Plant Slurs 3 weeks ago:
Lots of know-it-alls proving your point
- Comment on Perspective 4 weeks ago:
Bottom, or else it would have to be in the process of falling due to physics.
- Comment on Perpetual motion eludes us again. 4 weeks ago:
When I was a kid I came up with this design and was so disappointed when it didn’t work.
- Comment on Anon likes a thing 4 weeks ago:
I love how hard they gatekeep /r/roguelikes to keep it true to the genre. One of my favorite things is going there to watch all the modern clueless “roguelike” lovers get downvoted to oblivion.
- Comment on Cow eggs 4 weeks ago:
DeepSeek handled it well.
Conclusion
Biologically, neither rabbits nor cows produce eggs, so size comparisons are irrelevant. Culturally, decorative rabbit-themed eggs range from 2 to 9 inches, while “cow eggs” are purely fictional. For real egg sizes, bird species like chickens (2.5 inches) or cowbirds (0.8 inches) offer better reference points
- Comment on Anon has a warning for incels 4 weeks ago:
You’re right. I probably phrased that a bit poorly, especially with respect to “do ___ before ___.” The point I was trying to get across is that this push for self-improvement is often extrinsic and possibly unnecessary.
If chasing money or muscles (or whatever) is something that genuinely excites you, then by all means do that. But if you’re doing it because others tell you that’s what you need to find contentment, then I just want people to know how bullshit that is.
- Comment on Anon has a warning for incels 4 weeks ago:
I would even say don’t worry too much about self-improvement. It’s a vague concept that encourages you to be perpetually dissatisfied (possibly to sell you stuff).
You can always be satisfied with who you are. Remember how Mr. Rogers likes you just the way you are? You can extend that kindness to yourself. Once you’ve done that, then you are in the right headspace to lose some weight or improve your income or whatever.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 4 weeks ago:
Not to mention it just doesn’t work as well for men as it does for women.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 5 weeks ago:
Ah yes, because free health care pays my rent.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 5 weeks ago:
Really? Because it seems to me the only difference is what your preferred media decide to call it.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 5 weeks ago:
I’d argue there isn’t one. Not on the scale of LotR. It cannot be overstated how unlikely it was that it happened the way it did.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Bad idea at this age. All it takes is one day for your health to take a nosedive then you’ll just have to move again.
- Comment on Aging is fun 1 month ago:
millions of people are walking around with chronic viral and bacterial infections and don’t know it. Feeling like that isn’t just normal aging.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 1 month ago:
My only point with my original comment is that people are freaking out as though this is about to be Iraq War take 3. I see no evidence of that. It would require an invasion.

It doesn’t really matter what you call it. W. and Obama normalized not declaring war on the countries you bomb. It’s become normalized by this point

you want troops on the ground?
Genuinely don’t know what reality you’re living in if you are typing this question after reading my comment.
