- Comment on Why do we dance and hop when we desparstely need to go number 1? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly, this depends on the circumstances. E.g. cats tend to bury the waste so it doesn’t smell, while other territorial animals piss on everything in sight to mark the land. Nevertheless, when an animal is jumped by another, they often drop deuces all over while hitting the road dramatically. There’s a recent-ish clip on Reddit of two hippos fighting, wherein one of them decides to do the helicopter distribution of dung in the middle of the altercation.

Not really, it’s well known that animals tend to shit and piss, dropping the weight and encumbrance, right before executing on the fight-or-flight response. People are likewise prone to soiling themselves in fear. So idk why it’s the other way around when just going about on my walks, but I’m not gonna complain about it when my city doesn’t have many public toilets open at night.
- Comment on Why do we dance and hop when we desparstely need to go number 1? 2 weeks ago:
In my unscientific experience, if I’m on the go, the piss can be kept it, for an hour and more. If I stop, I don’t think willpower alone will prevent me from pissing myself. So the dance is probably simulating the conditions of being too busy for a toilet break.

Afaik Tineye hasn’t been updated in years. Both Google and Yandex find a bunch of images, including an image with a different backround and darker-skinned Aladdin with his jacket still on, but striking the same pose.

- Comment on Anon runs into his boss 3 weeks ago:
My former boss had trouble buying beer sometimes because he’s short and thin and made the mistake of going with another coworker who permanently looks under eighteen years old. He said he ain’t making that mistake again.
Meanwhile, during covid, my method of verifying the age was pulling the mask down.
We also got thoroughly blazed all together at multiple times, locations, and various configurations of other coworkers and drugs of choice. We were in programming.

‘Fallout’ isn’t just ‘derived from’, it’s a direct descendant of ‘Wasteland’, with some of the same people involved: Brian Fargo was the director on the original ‘Wasteland’, then founded Interplay aka the developer/publisher of ‘Fallout’ 1-2, and shortly thereafter inXile Entertainment that later developed ‘Wasteland’ 2 and 3.
Also, some of the folks who developed ‘Fallout’ made ‘Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura’, which is basically fantasy ‘Fallout’ — made by folks of Troika Games who previously made ‘Fallout’, and later ‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines’.

Judging by other comments, they are indeed randomly generated, but that doesn’t make them good:
That’s the worst part. All of those randomly generated filler quests that send you back to a location you’ve cleared twice before to kill the same named raider npc are at the very core of what is wrong with Fallout 4.

There were actually multiple action-adventure beat-em-up games in the MK series. Namely ‘Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero’, ‘Mortal Kombat: Special Forces’, and ‘Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks’. The last one of these is for PS2/Xbox. All three received pretty poor reviews.
Plus there was ‘Mortal Kombat: Onslaught’ for phones in 2023, but it seems to have required multiplayer, and has already been shutdown.

could have been a cool turn based JPRG
Yall know that ‘Fallout’ was originally turn-based? No need for anything Japanese in there, the RPG system was pretty nice.
The nineties had some cool turn-based tactics games, like the ‘Jagged Alliance’ series and ‘X-Com’. Even realtime tactics were very nice in the isometric view, e.g. in ‘Commandos’. Now that everything needs to be in either first-person or third-person from behind, such games rarely pop up.

‘Critical Depth’ is an underwater vehicular shooter for PlayStation 1, with movement in any direction, though still having the up-down axis. Basically underwater ‘Twisted Metal’, from the same studio.

- Comment on Why do steam games appear cheap in Asia? 4 weeks ago:
Steam singlehandedly diminished prevalence of piracy in some markets where it was overwhelmingly rampant before, by making it affordable to buy games compared to just downloading them from a torrents forum.
And just so it’s clear, I’m not gonna pay fifty bucks for a game, because I can live two weeks on that.

Fun fact, many of the Sim* games originated because Will Wright read a book on the subject.
Most of the games he worked on resulted from his academic interest in a field of study and simulation development was “almost an excuse to do years of research on a subject.” SimAnt was largely based on the research of Harvard University biologist E. O. Wilson, specifically his 1990 zoology textbook The Ants. Written with colleague Bert Hölldobler, the book details the behavior of ants and the intricacies of their colonies. Wright was particularly interested in Wilson’s explorations of emergence whereby individual ants performing basic tasks can collectively accomplish very complex goals.

that they might not use binary logic, but tertiary logic instead. They might not use 8 bits as a smallest package of data.
People did both of those things in computers. They have also decoded encrypted messages where they didn’t know the algorithm or the key. And, as others have said, in this case you start with simple messages, establishing the basic boundaries of transmission, before trying to communicate most primitive ideas.
