- Comment on Why is gaming becoming so expensive? The answer is found in AI 4 hours ago:
Gaming is pretty cheap, playing the latest new releases or hardware has always been expensive
- Comment on Does the engine a game uses factor into your decision to buy it or not? 5 hours ago:
Yeah the buggy engine in fallout new Vegas, Morrowind, etc Bethesda games was basically another character in the games. Infinity engine and reboot games I’ve played a few just because they use it (some of icewind Dale, bg1/2, etc). I’ve played some scummvm games like Indiana Jones and broken sword just because they were on the platform too just because a few really good games like Sam and max and day of the tentacle are on there.

Wait until it’s night out, then take a long walk to think about your life. At least an hour or two, really wander around a bit, sit under a tree for a bit (just check for spiders first). Consider yourself as captain of earth, riding this big ball of mud and water and cheese and birds and Roblox across the solar system, which in turn is falling around the edges of the milky way Galaxy, which is falling towards the great attractor chased by the larger Andromeda Galaxy. And beyond that billions of light years of more galaxies and black holes and more muddy dirt balls falling through spacetime. From that cosmic perspective it’s really easy to hear the sea lions and horses barking across the bay as you flour pixies from surreal bakery baskets.

Al Capone was very successful at running blackmail and intimidation rackets despite being mentally well below average. It doesn’t take intelligence to do what maga does, that’s kinda the point why they do it because it’s the only way they’ve seen how to accumulate power that doesn’t require intelligence or at least good prediction models.

- Comment on "CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion 1 week ago:
The pattern is obvious when you start looking for labor representation in mass media, like what were the labor leaders quoted saying regarding the same thing the capitalist executive is talking about, or how many articles quote just an executive vs how many just quote a labor leader.

Most people join cults for community and structure and answers. There’s resources like psychologytoday.com/…/the-definitive-guide-helpin… and www.peopleleavecults.com/post/help-cult-involved but I think the general idea is stay calm don’t crash out when talking about it, help them notice the manipulation techniques being used that are common to cults, asking questions that help undermine indoctrination and inspire more skepticism, and provide alternatives for the reasons they are wanting to join or stay in a cult without the manipulation and lies a cult requires to exist.

- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 1 week ago:
#1 Spaced repetition, #2 quizzing, and #3 explaining it in plain common language without any technical words or phrases are 3 really good methods to learning something new. The lectures provide #1 if you study the material a few days before or after the lecture. Note taking can help focus on the material during the lecture to stay engaged and focused, and be useful when studying later to target what you have trouble with.

It’s for the pro capitalism form of Animal Farm where a small hierarchy of heroic pigs controlling the farm save it from the evil communist working animals wasting money they don’t have on frivolous things like food and healthcare using Seth Rogan’s laugh as an area denial weapon.
- Comment on Me after 3 shots of vodka 2 weeks ago:
There are many places where signals and speed limits are treated as light suggestions, the law only matters if it’s enforced and rules made in support of some safety or cooperation. Places where speeding is only enforced at more reckless ~15kph and over, or signal lights aren’t enforced if there’s no pedestrians or cross traffic. Maybe it’s degrees of domestication, or greater safety to break the rules if car jackings are common in an area

In my experience it was for old insecure guys who were uncomfortable going to a massage or doing any structured stretching regularly so they’d get an adjustment from a quack a few times a year instead.

- Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!) 2 weeks ago:
PSP was great, some stand out games were crush (2/3d puzzle), jrpgs like the final fantasy tactics remake and Joan of arc, rhythm games like loco roco and patapon, and easy to install custom firmware to play emulated games PSP or some others like Gameboy or snes.

- Comment on The difference is real 2 weeks ago:
As one of probably 12 people who actually read the Mueller report it was a list of crimes the president and conspirators committed, and very clearly left it up to the branch of government required to impeach and remove the president, legislative via Congress. That part was the job of Congress, not the judicial branch. But obviously then the US Congress abdicated their responsibilities to uphold the constitution in both the facts of the report and both impeachments, ignoring the facts of reality and their legal obligations under the constitution. Because people like Mitch McConnell whipped politicians to kill any action the executive lied that the report contained no crimes and corrupt mass media propaganda sold the lie to the public as usual.

Does it need to be a full-size bat, or can it be one of those mini replica bats? I bet you could fit at least twice as many of those bats.
- Comment on Why don't my shit and urine stink while they're inside me? 2 weeks ago:
Not smelling like excrement would have been a significant advantage for most of human history where we had predators hunting us and conflicts with other humans where hiding would have been a good defense tactic. Animals that do have strong scent usual are a deterrent for predators or territorial predators marking their territory.

- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 2 weeks ago:
I grew up around quite a few as they are pretty common in the Middle West especially middle and low income areas. Aggressively inclusive is a pretty good description of the subculture’s values. There’s some bullshit like anti science and anti education, but it comes from the elitism and exclusivity of those institutions which is a problem in public outreach and inclusiveness in academia. Most of the juggalos I’ve met just want to do drugs, listen to horrorcore rap, and watch wrestling, but I’ve also met some that can’t stand any of those things but just celebrate the stuff they do like instead of degenerating other people and their aesthetics.
