I could see vote score being a valuable moderation tool on the backend.
- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 5 days ago:
I honestly think every single platform that uses a vote score system is inherently vulnerable to becoming an echo chamber.
The only value a vote score generates is consensus. This is at the cost of influencing readers before they even engage the content. It lowers the bar of participation, partly by removing the necessity of commenting approval/disapproval, and secondarily by making approval/disapproval anonymous.
Ultimately it makes it easier for people to participate without actually contributing and that lowers the quality of the end result.
- Comment on Neverness to Everness has patched out a character’s shorts in favor of panties following complaints 5 days ago:
I’m curious how many people who upvoted this only got into the genre after age 20. Excluding pre-internet fans who wouldn’t have had access as teenagers.

At a certain point Anime Games only exist because of teenage hormone levels.

Honestly starting to feel like avoiding life changing identity theft is just putting off the inevitable. Like I’m dodging traffic at a train crossing.

If your kick is new music than you should just switch languages and listen to stuff pre 2022.

- Comment on Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US 1 month ago:
Because producing chips requires a complicated supply chain.
- Taiwan. China wants to own it for the same reason they can’t just bomb it to smithereens. Producing chips requires human hardware engineers, possibly thousands depending on the complexity. Each engineer specializes in specific tasks and processes.
The human talent element is the most fragile and least replicable piece of the supply chain.
- Taiwan is close enough to China to take advantage of cheap factory labour for anything that doesn’t require engineering skills.
The geography of Taiwan & China is the backbone of the supply chain.
- Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems. ASML from the Netherlands owns the proprietary design for the massive and complex machines that print microchip transistors onto silicon. US/Netherlands have restricted the sale of the most advanced systems to China.
The machines that allow for microchip production are all owned by one company
- In retaliation to the above China has restricted Rare Earth Metal exports to western manufacturers.

- Comment on i'm fucking devastated but there are no exception 1 month ago:
Scott Stapp the vocalist and lyricist is a Christian and his solo albums are outrightly spiritual in theme.
Something you would have to grow up in the church to understand is how controversial a lot of “Christian bands” actually were in Christian circles. Like the pushback against music with scream vocals was real.
It was a genuine wedge issue because churches used professional audio/lights to attract members with polished modern rock worship music. Music became so intertwined that it led to all non christian music being labeled “secular”.
Bands like Creed didn’t fit either label but generally was considered acceptable listening material in the church circles I grew up in. Most objections to it genre based.

IMO just stop letting them borrow against the unrealized values. You can borrow against what you’ve paid taxes on.
- Comment on Destiny 2 is dead: "active development" ends next month after one final update, but Bungie says the MMO will still be "playable" 1 month ago:
Not exactly. Did you play the first seasons? Basically every dlc there were items you’d farm to buy gear (or something it’s been a decade now) that became completely obsolete when the next dlc came out.
Most rpgs you can sell those items. But in Destiny you had to delete them.
- Comment on Destiny 2 is dead: "active development" ends next month after one final update, but Bungie says the MMO will still be "playable" 1 month ago:
I bought the Destiny PS4 when the game launched. I knew I was basically signing up for World of Halocraft.
But what did surprise me was how poor the execution was. Every single DLC made all the previous gear/items COMPLETELY USELESS.

- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
I love old RPGs but they’re too grindy for me now or something.
Like I bought the Final Fantasy Tactics remake. Original is easily my favorite game of all time. And a HUGE Quality of Life improvement the remake added was the ability to fast forward the gameplay and the cutscenes (IYKYK).
Every time I try to pick up my 2nd all time favorite FF6(Snes) I find myself losing interest after my 10th random encounter. I like the story, the characters, the music(!), the puzzles/exploration.
But the gameplay itself, sadly, just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Like I burned many hours on my gameboy colour playing Dragon Warrior. So it’s not like I never liked the genre.

- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 1 month ago:
everybody had an opinion on how I was doing it wrong and I just didn’t have enough emotional bandwidth to deal with it
Straight up why larger communities often have mods with terrible personalities. They’re the only ones who dgaf enough.

K but there has to be some happy medium between 20 swat cars and showing up 2 hours after the pizza driver.
