- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 1 week ago:
Doesn’t help that Icarus is such a technical mess. Certainly limits the player base when you shoot for a graphically demanding game and then don’t bother with working on performance.
Maybe I’m just grumpy that I can’t play it anymore since switching to Linux despite upgrading my gpu.

Seconding this! I did my science writing in grad school with git and markdown.
- Comment on Do I tell my other partners or ignore the potential crush? 1 week ago:
I would add another caveat that if you’re in a committed relationship, you owe it to existing partners when starting up a new relationship to ensure that they’re comfortable with the change and feel that their relationship is honoured.
If you can’t do that it’s not actually a committed relationship, it’s solo poly. If you have absolute freedom to date anyone you want, the corrolary is your partners are left only with the choice to stay with the relationship as it is, or leave.

Have you discussed polyamory and what it looks like for your relationship with your girlfriend and partner?

This makes sense. I can’t see Trump being willing to back down, but I can see corporate pressure doing it.

Oh it’s just going to be a little thing with a couple friends. Gleba certainly has a propensity for falling apart…

Can you elaborate on your critique of Mars Horizon? Someone else recommended it so I have been looking in to it.

Probably the closest suggestion so far! Thanks

That’s something else entirely IMO. … But I am planning to do a coop Space Exploration run soon!
- Comment on Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP? 1 month ago:
Hmm. Different scale for sure, but Distant Worlds 2 is in my backlog so I should probably try it again before Aurora. Thanks for the suggestion!
- Comment on Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP? 1 month ago:
Mars Horizon looks fun, thanks! Definitely more of a straight up KSP successor than a strategy game, but it might scratch the itch enough to save me a few hundred hours from trying Aurora.

Motorcycle breeding mechanics would be a very different game 😂

Some sort of signal emitter maybe? So the rescue team knows to look where the hero rat triggered it.

I use mint for gaming and it works just fine. Granted my computer isn’t particularly new, and I have an AMD GPU (nvidia is more finicky and some distros support it better than others out of the box)

Yeah the control should have been different film/games. Sloppy science.
- Comment on Valor Mortis - Reveal Trailer 8 months ago:
Valor Mortis is a first-person action soulslike from the creators of Ghostrunner. Rise from death as a former soldier of Napoleon’s army. Wield supernatural powers, battle horrifying monsters, and unravel a conspiracy that threatens all of humanity.
Looks weird. It’s nice to see all this creativity in the soulslike space these days.

- Comment on Does the ping between your eyes and brain increase when you're tired? 8 months ago:
I don’t think the speed of the electrical impulse would change, but yes reaction time would. Perception is more about our brain processing signals than it is about the signals themselves. What you experience yourself as seeing is not the raw image going into your eyes. Slower processing means you’re also less likely to see, as in be aware of, details.

- Comment on What's the solution to QR code phishing? 9 months ago:
When my phone scans a QR code it shows what the URL text is without needing to go to the URL. Any time you’re thinking about going to a link you gotta consider the risks, but if it says restrauntname.com/menu I’ll feel better about it than if it’s a url shortener
- Comment on What's the solution to QR code phishing? 9 months ago:
Plain, readable urls rather than using shortening services is a step in the right direction, but it won’t stop lookalike phishing.

You deserve that money more than anyone who parties on a yacht does.
Besides, it only seems generous because you and them live in fundamentally different financial worlds. If they were actually generous they’d pay enough taxes for you to have fully funded education with a liveable stipend.

I tried it out to see how it was coming along a year or so ago. It made Kenshi look polished.

This is really good advice for you, OP. Polyamory is potentially a very strong and fulfilling relationship structure, but it’s a lot of work and it’s not necessarily easy.
Most of the polyamorous people i know came into their relationships already down for polyamory. Opening up a monogamous relationship is risky, so it is a good idea to proceed in an informed and intentional manner.
There’s a lot of ways relationships can go. A part of polyamory means finding what works for y’all. Who knows, maybe it’ll end up as a monogamous situation where the new guy joins y’all platonically as chosen family.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
To clarify, by polycule I mean the total chain of romantic relationships. Currently it’s four of us living together, and two more living together as a couple where me and my chosen family member have been dating one of them for years. For most of it, the section living together was three of us, romantically a v but more than that we think of eachother as chosen family.
It definitely helps with financial stability insofar as there’s a lot of buffer when someone is between jobs, but otherwise it’s not all that different. Housing space needs scale with number of people in the family, after all. We’re starting to look in to purchasing a house together, and to an extent the purchasing power of four working professionals helps there, but if we also want kids it means looking at big houses so again it kinda evens out. There’s also an added layer of legal complexity that becomes necessary with home ownership - we don’t have a ready made framework like marriage.

You should look into polyamory/consensual non-monogamy. What your describing doesn’t have to be seen as some sort of weird perverse thing doomed to failure and return to the status quo. It is a legitimate family structure.
I’ve been in a polyamorous family for almost a decade now. Most of it was three (the sort of v shape you describe) but also with a larger (currently six) non-domestic polycule. I’m not the tip of the v but I love my metamours (eord for partners’ partners) as family.
It’s viable. The trick is a gratuitous amount of candid conversation, and a dedication to the family.
