- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 19 hours ago:
That’s because Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest aren’t making kids games anymore.
They’re remaking old games for nostalgia value for old gamers like me who played those games as a kid.
NGL I’m still waiting on the dragon warrior monsters remakes because I’d always been a bigger fan of those than any Pokémon game. I doubt it’s coming any time soon, but a guy can hope.
That’s the whole issue though. None of these studios are putting out games for modern kids. There just rehashing their old IPs and pretending they’re new games. Kids dont want spruce up 1990’s games. They want games for them.

Why do educated people tolerate stupid people when the world would be a better place without ignorance?
As a native American, I can say “fuck the french” with my whole chest. I get to keep a French last name on my birth certificate for the rest of my life as a consequence of their little colonial adventures.
Honestly fuck every single old world country right in the asshole. Every last syphilis carrying flea bag immigrant can fuck right off back across the sea with your horseshit. Anyone who cannot prove their family lived on this land back before 1200 AD is to be deported immediately after being burned with branding irons.

Adding onto this one:
I suspect they are searching your trash. They roll up to your house, tell you there’s a bunch of “suspicious” shit tied to your address, IP, a cell ping in the area, whatever. The point is to scare the shit out of you in the hopes that you trash any “incriminating” property.
Then they search your trash (which does not require a warrant, let alone motice), find your shit, and then come back to arrest you.
The point here is fuck them. They didn’t bother to create a warrant, so they dont get to complain when you decide to upgrade your PC, slag the old drives, then keep them on your coffee table as conversation starters. If they had a warrant, that would be different. They dont.
Don’t let them scare you stupid. Continue on as normal. Maybe invest in a different ISP because some like to snitch.

You are wrong. All thinking, feeling animals have the capacity for morality. Compassion and empathy have long been touted to be the traits that separate man from beast, but lo, compassion exists in the animal kingdom as well.
Nothing that makes people be people is significantly different than anything else found in the animal kingdom. Segregation of empathy is also a learned trait of those who trend towards lower overall intelligence.

The archean is neat because it’s somewhat typified by the banded iron formations that exist around the globe. Its a global quasi organic geological phenomenon.
Idk about that visual model tho. Nothing I’ve seen has indicated that mantle plumes are caused by subducted plate sections interacting with the outer core transition layer. It also doesn’t make much sense as we can track the Yellowstone Hotspot back out into the pacific ocean back 70-150 Mya. There’s no subducting plate in the middle of the ocean to cause that Hotspot originally. Seems bunk on my layman understanding of PNW geology.

- Comment on The infantry will advance 1 month ago:
It’ll be a lot of guerilla tactics and IEDs. Iraq and Afghanistan proved exactly how well urban combat works against the US military complex.
Then will come assassinations, hoarding, and smaller scale civil conflicts. Think resource raids and good old fashioned territorialism.
If youll accept the analogy, the military is great at blowing up anthills, but pretty shit at finding and eliminating specific ants.

- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 2 months ago:
Kind of, but not really.
Auroras dont necessarily need a stars radiation. Any old radiation will do, so long as there are charged particles floating around. Jupiter, for example, has gigantic continuous aurora around the magnetic poles. If auroras only came from the sun, and the earth is much closer to the sun than Jupiter, wouldn’t earth have a bigger aurora than Jupiter?
No, obviously. The size of the aurora depends on the size of the magnetic field interacting with charged particles and the number of those charged particles.
In the case of supermassive planets like Jupiter and this rogue planet, they produce way more of their own radiation than they recieve from the sun or space. This rogue “planet” in particular is so massive that it could actually fuse deuterium down in the core just with the pressures and temperatures of gravity crushing all that matter down. If you pumped enough hydrogen in there to quadruple the mass, it would probably ignite into a star quite comparable to our sun.
For that reason, it’s better to think of this as more of a baby star that didn’t quite eat enough wheaties than a planet in the traditional sense we think of here in our solar system.
With the crazy physics that come with suns and near dwarfs with similar mass, it’s no surprise that it generates a titanic magnetic field, and as a bonus, it produces its own radiation. It creates all the necessary ingredients it needs to make it’s own spectacular auroras with no actual outside interaction.
Tl;dr it makes it’s own aurora
- Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it. 2 months ago:
Because the planet produces its own radiation. That much mass means this is less a “planet” and more of a proto star. It’s actually large enough to fuse deuterium if the right conditions were met. Pour enough hydrogen in there to raise the mass a three of four times what it has now and it’d be comparable to our sun.

Had a bunch of wolf spiders in the last shop i worked at as a welder. They have eye shine like cats and alligators. It was always easy to tell the wolf spiders from black widows even behind a dusty welding machine because you can see the little wolf spider eyes looking back at you.

- Comment on Name your favourite prehistoric tree. 2 months ago:
Had a Gingko tree outside my childhood home up in Washington. We were right down the highway from Ginkgo Petrified Forest too. It was wild knowing a tree like the one at home stood just down the road ~ 16 MYA. Yeah, there aren’t a lot of gingkos in that park, and there’s plenty of other trees that have the same circumstance, but that gingko was special to me.

Well to be fair seals are a special kind of asshole among assholes. Some of the coast guard are chill, and the vast majority of the active forces are literally 18 and 19 year old children. Literally too useless to get an actual job. The only ones that stick around are either the assholes among assholes or the functionally unemployable.

- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 5 months ago:
As a welder turned machinist, is it really so hard to act like an adult as an adult? I’ve seen a bunch of different shops around my area, and hands down the old heads are the worst when it comes to drama. They’re so focused on status and seniority that they forget that it’s just a job.
That being said, work how you want to work, not how you see other people working in your role. “Good enough” is fine for learning, but i want to be good at what I do, not good enough. I like my paycheck, and I like feeling like I earn it too.
I’m actually in a position where I got a raise at work and acknowledgement from my peers where I feel like I’ve been doing average work. I could take that to mean that I’m doing good enough and I can coast. That would be totally normal. But I’m looking at it as encouragement to continue to develop my craft. I tried out some shit on a lathe the other day I’ve only ever seen on crazy Instagram videos, but it worked for what I needed to do, and the part came out acceptable in the end. Now I can continue to expand my experience with confidence.
