- Comment on Is there a website or youtube channel that does stuff so you can learn something everyday? Like an IWTL website or channel? 24 minutes ago:
The guy known for going to visit things on location is behind a desk too much? We thinking of the same Tom Scott? Red shirt grey hair? Unless you mean his game show stuff
- Comment on Is there a website or youtube channel that does stuff so you can learn something everyday? Like an IWTL website or channel? 5 hours ago:
Smarter every Day All of Tom Scott’s stuff More humorous but can still be educational about nature is Natural Habitat Shorts Rob Scallon explore a lot of music stuff The Vintage Space covers a lot of space exploration history
I’m sure I missed some. Of course no good channel can post daily. It takes time to do the research and keep the quality up so best to have several channels.
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 4 days ago:
That lid is there to trap heat during cooking. Protecting it is important too.
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 4 days ago:
After every use. It’s to keep rain and dust and other detritus off the grill so it’s ready to go when you are. If you only put it on at the end of the season you’re likely to have a rusty grill covered in dirt way quicker
- Comment on In the US or in Europe can I choose the way I want to go out? like maybe like a viking by setting a boat on fire while my body is on it? Or be shot out of a cannon HST style? or whatever? 6 days ago:
I mean, if you wanna fight public opinion, decency laws, environmental laws, and find funding to start it. I’ve got $3.50 to pitch in. Good luck

Last I checked it’s like one county in Colorado, you have to get pre-approval, and the list is basically always full so you’re 6 months to a year waiting minimum

Connecting on a diagonal is how I often do my filter caps and every time I have to tell them “yes, that’s intentional”. Really free up routing
- Comment on Just sayin’ 2 weeks ago:
Possibly. But this isn’t that. This is pure coincidence. Big AAA games just take time to produce that happens to roughly line up with the amount of time someone is president in the US
- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 2 weeks ago:
Except do we actually know how the Xbox/PC thing will work? Are we sure it will be able to run all games and isn’t just their plan to push game streaming?
- Comment on Steam lawsuits in a nutshell 2 weeks ago:
I mean there is some hint of defense in this meme, and people definitely do jump to Valve’s defense, but I read it differently. I read it as a complaint that all these companies keep making the dumbest sounding ideas and are pissing people off. Like Sony removing the PC tag across all their sites today.
Like yes they’re corporations just trying to make money, but frustrated fans are frustrated and rightly so.
- Comment on Whatever you feel about Bond Films, Do you think it wouldn't be best they just ended it with the last film. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think Bond should end, but it definitely needs a break. It’s gone through so many changes over time trying to reinvent itself from simple action film to gritty realism to love drama. Craig as Bond was kind of a real full arc and a weird time. Now that it’s ended they need to step away, let it percolate, and come back in five or ten years with something fresh.
Patrick Willems had an interesting take on how every Bond film reflected Hollywood at the time. With Hollywood now being nothing but reboots I say it’s a double good time for them to take a break.

So about the same as me, solid. Wish him luck on his Bestiary hunt and Lightning dodges.
- Comment on Day 615 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
How long has your friend been working on it? I’m on 4 myself. Had a lot of free time over the holidays to blast through the first three, but now I’m hoping to finish one every few months
- Comment on Day 615 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
FFVIII is probably one of my top three. Something about the characters, setting, gameplay, and even the mini game triple triad tickles my fancy.
The “squall is dead” theory really was one of those playground spread rumors that I loved too.
I’m currently on a quest to get all achievements for every FF game. It’s real interesting seeing the changes from game to game, enjoy IX when you get there
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 4 weeks ago:
Seconded. You don’t need to have played Miles Morales at all, but I personally think it’s the best story of the three
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 4 weeks ago:
It’s got to be one hell of a game for me to do it. Maybe one in 100 will I touch post game content and I don’t think I’ve finished any
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 4 weeks ago:
Halo Life is Strange Final fantasy VIII World of Warcraft Expedition 33
None of them are perfect but they all made me think about games in a different light and keep me wanting to play.

Best I can do is sacrifice kids to the global pedo ring

This is 2026. Everything gets a reboot. The war in the middle east, games, movies, everything.

Have fun. I’ll keep napping in my moogle cuddle puddle
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy | RPG Site 5 weeks ago:
A lot of people mindlessly expected more fantasy and don’t really understand that the underlying theme for like every final fantasy game is environmentalism, anti corruption, legacy, and fellowship, not just chocobos and crystals
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX animated series officially in production at EuroVisual, titled Black Mages Legacy | RPG Site 5 weeks ago:
If you aren’t aware they’ve released two other movies since then. The FFVII sequel film “Advent Children” and “Kingsglaive” set in the FFXV universe.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 1 month ago:
As others have said it’s savory not sweet and guac is a great choice but I put mine in a wrap.
I cook up some chickpeas in barbeque sauce, spread some avocado on a big ol tortilla, throw in some coleslaw and the chickpeas, wrap it up and go to town.

Oh no, Trump and Friends have been some of the most consistent people I have ever seen. Consistently awful and against all normal people maybe, but consistent
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 1 month ago:
This has been just over the past couple years for me. It absolutely still is the world if you aren’t a jackass
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 1 month ago:
This is how I did it. You just have to find the like minded individuals and put in the time to get to know them. I did it through meetup.com some, word of mouth of events from other friends, and just talking a chance and talking to someone who seemed chill from work. Some of my best friends now.
- Comment on Dear Faith II 1 month ago:
I’ve only ever been academia adjacent and I’m glad. Some of the most soulless people I’ve ever met. It’s the lab grunts who know how to party. Until they have the life sucked out of them to meet some arbitrary writing spec for a journal
- Comment on Why nor???? 1 month ago:
Well, it doesn’t change size based on the wielder. It changes size based on its will and what it percieves will bring it the result it desires. Which is admittedly way more complex and abstract. This is why I said knowing more about it’s properties would be extremely important to figuring out how to use it.
If it only changes size in one direction, like growing bigger to slip off a finger, but the band width never changes, then it would still be extremely useful for some measurements. We also don’t know if there’s a maximum or minimum to it’s size changes which would greatly matter.
- Comment on Why nor???? 1 month ago:
Sure. For me (computer scientist but went to engineering based school) I’d be most excited about the experimental possibilities.
I mean if nothing else the potential to have the world’s most stable mass and dimensional object could revolutionize measurements, which might not sound the most practical until you realize just how much we rely on dimensional accuracy for so many things.
There’s some experiments where we fire a laser at things, and we’re approaching powers (zetawatts) where things basically instantly melt. Having a material that can withstand that could allow experiments that could push our understanding of light, nuclear reactions, quantum mechanics, and more.
From a practical aspect. If it, say, absorbs heat. Having a limitless heat sink could potentially let us explore deeper into the Earth’s core than ever before (where the heat and pressure really caused issues for the drills).
And all that is just off a few seconds thought from a non engineer.
- Comment on Why nor???? 1 month ago:
It really depends on the other material properties. Like if it’s as slippery as nylon vs as slippery as rubber is really gonna change things. Plus how does it react to outside forces trying to destroy it? Absorption? Diffusion? Conversion (like heat into sound or something).
All that would drastically change what you could do with it
