- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 2 weeks ago:
I personally didn’t love the atmosphere of this game. Didn’t feel very doom like. The gameplay mechanics are also different, but I got used to them. The game is turning more and more into a rhythm game like DDR or Guitar hero where you need to do the right attack at the right time depending on what enemy you’re dealing with.

Took me awhile to get into it. I did eventually finish it. My criticism of the game was more that the dungeons aren’t really all that challenging and are mostly just places where the story advances. Not many puzzles or fights. You just do your fighting out in the open world. Also, eventually the fights are easy as you learn how to fight each type. Eventually you just avoid confrontations because they’re just time consuming.

Also, what’s up with Brits and Europeans eating baked beans for breakfast. Beans are not appetizing as a breakfast food.

Pretty sure that’s why they have it. It’s to courtesy so you don’t hear bathroom noises.
- Comment on Why Japan's internet is weirdly designed 1 month ago:
Yea, visiting Japan does feel like they are stuck in a retro vision of the future where everything by was going to be driven by buttons. There are buttons everywhere, including at your table in a restaurant and on every toilet too. The toilets even have heated seats, bidets, and play music, all driven by buttons. They also have vending machines everywhere, which are covered in buttons. Ordering ramen at a restaurant? Make sure you tap all the buttons at the machine in the front to make your order.
They still haven’t quite adopted the touch screen fully.

- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 months ago:
Part of this is related to how the 2017 tax law changed how companies can write off the costs of software development. Those rules didn’t kick in until 2022, which is when things started to get messy for the tech industry.

As I understand it, the rule reverted in the most recent tax bill this year. Of course, that will take some time to kick in. We are also in a recession, which no one is acknowledging yet. So, may take some time to recover.

- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 2 months ago:
It takes a bit to initially learn how to load, chamber a round, and disable a safety. Every new gun you handle will require relearning those things for the most part. Also, the first time you handle a gun you’ll probably be a bit intimidated by the whole experience and want someone to show you. I agree most kids would have been taught by an adult if they got so far as to shoot up a school. That said, if a loaded gun is lying around the house, someone can easily pick it up and do some damage with it without any training— at least until it is time to reload.
