- Comment on Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games 3 days ago:
I will admit, I’ve only ever paid that amount for three games ever. Voices of the Void, EOD Tarkov and the Founders edition of Soulframe, and the only reason I did that was to support the devs.
Making $100 a baseline cost for a brand new game, where the AAA companies have decided “oh you can do patches to fix bugs in the first couple of weeks without losing too much money.” Is the standard (which came first, the chicken or the egg?) is absolutely ludicrous. I remember when Gran Turismo 4 was an expensive game because it was 40. But that worked right out of the box; you pay for it, put the CD in and bam. Fully working game. That you own. Forever.

Uk definitely isn’t a “wearing shoes inside the house” country unless their house has floors so genuinely dirty that you’re better off not collecting detritus

Odd, nothing asked me to pay to read, give me a sec and I’ll pull their sources for you to assuage some of that doubt.

Theoretically? No.
In reality it’s already happening.
This is from ONE concentration camp. If they’re moving people between these ‘detention centers’ and fudging the data or straight up not recording anything on where people are, then they can disappear who they want, and by the time their lawyers or family get visit approval it’s already too late.

Doesn’t that contravene the prime directive? ;)

Using “Knows how they work” while talking about goddamn time machines cracks me up every time.
It’s like you’re confidently arguing that the inside of a black hole is another universe where time runs backwards and dogs meow ;)
(For tonal clarity I’m not taking the piss, it’s just funny when folk get really into a scifi topic and get all fanfiction about it)

That’s the hard part: if it’s fibreglass then it’ll crack, and you’ve gotta stop the plug from unplugging itself and letting all the air in

Unless you could get an acrylic plate wth a seal around the edge to go over the bath, got the bike pump working in reverse and reinforced the bath, you might stuggle even with some proper elbow grease

All it takes is either a multi million dollar human scale pressure chamber, or volunteering for some mad billionaires high altitude mach 5 manned vehicle tests

K doesn’t use the ° symbol ;)
And the increments of kelvin are the same as Celsius, they’re just at different points, where at 0K absolutely nothing is a gas or a liquid.
(Trying to decipher it right but you’re suggesting 0K be renamed -100°??

Depends on what altitude you’re at; get high enough and the depressurisation will boil the water in your blood straight out of every orofice available using only your body’s latent heat.

Aye but that micron thin oxide layer that it gets looks magnificent, if you put it in an oven at the right temp you could get it coming out almost goldlike

I don’t know, after seeing one of those pans with a proper shine on it in a meme, I’d love to see the colour changes from oxidation when you re-season it

Had a stainless pan go like this after a bout of the big sad, all it took to make it into a mirror was a bit of elbow grease, a scourer pad and some bleach.

Entirely fair, as long as everyone’s having fun I’m not one to pass judgement either way

- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 1 month ago:
It’s almost like the whole thing is a spectrum, where people that have it feel the same emotions as neurotypical people, but they feel them more intensely.
There’s also something to be said for admitting 5hat if your child is neurodivergent then you as a parent are probably neurodivergent

Genuinely had to scroll up to see what the problem was… Those are genuinely some of the least offensive nails I’ve seen (the temptation to say “this year” is unreal, I feel like I now understand the primal urge to make dad jokes)

I pay taxes. Once.
You pay your hospital, the doctor, the pharmacist, the nurse, the insurance company, the car parking for your stay, and your taxes.

Even Warframe will run on that puppy (with low settings and without all the particles, other than that they’ve got the whole efficiency thing down pat)
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies that AI features will be 'opt-in' and there will be a 'killswitch' to disable them 2 months ago:
That’s my bad, seemed like you were taking my comment at face value instead of seeing it was me being snarky at the user saying “So you’ll just not visit websites at all any more?” As if firefox/chrome were the only options for web browsers.
Aye, still using a fork of firefox because the baseline application is still solid, just using one that’s designed to be respectful of its users. And clearly open about what it foes in the background.
Touch wood Zen is a solid one for you (also holding out hope for a developer to provide an actual web browser without all this data harvesting bollocks)

Why should I wait it out with a company that’s betrayed the userbase’s trust when it comes to not only privacy, but by also implementing a feature that everyone KNOWS is harmful to both the planet and society as a whole.
I’ve already moved browsers to one that respects its users enough to not push something that’s a quick cashgrab while it burns the planet and harvests our data.
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies that AI features will be 'opt-in' and there will be a 'killswitch' to disable them 2 months ago:
Yep, never using the internet again. Firefox is the only platform available to browse the internet, and since they’re sloppifying themselves I’m leaving the whole internet.

Lol, lmao. Still deleting firefox, get fucked. Mozilla betrayed its users trust by choosing to follow this slop trend, and they’ll suffer the consequences.
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 2 months ago:
These days running into other players is far more common on the Expeditions fue to all the players having the same goal and quest pathing, but you still bump into real people the closer you are to the galactic center in the regular game modes.
In terms of the ‘boring samey planets’ when was the last time you played? Because with the current terrain generation, water effects, gas giant systems, fully submerged worlds and new fauna/flora generation I’ve yet to find any planets that were identical.
