Sounds like she’s good at cramming, not studying.
- Comment on A lot less blue too... Hmmmm.... 6 days ago:

It’s because we’re looking at a different side of the planet in the second photo.
- Comment on Steam lawsuits in a nutshell 1 week ago:
And artificially pumping up the price of games because steam has to have the lowest regular price (so even if another platform takes less than 30% gouge, they can’t offer the game for less than steam sells it for).
But people here will jump from the throat of anyone claiming they have any anti consumer policies

Having read one of them, he’s right: They’re not good. The writing is very basic. There might be a cool story in there, but it’s not ex decided well.

For like 2 years then he’ll leave like every other one of those “continuity positions” mergers like this include.
- Comment on Why don;t most of us Americans only need like one foreign language to pass high school? Why not make it mandatory for like 3 or 4 languages?Would that not give us the upper hand when traveling? 1 week ago:
Mine was 7th and 8th were each half of WhateverLanguage 1 course.

US isn’t even teaching the 1 very well. 7th grade is way too late to begin that kind of learning.
- Comment on A Republican Farmer Relies on Immigrant Work. He Sees His Party Erasing It. 2 weeks ago:
Imagine that.. The party that has been screaming about hating and wanting to deport everyone for literal decades actually tries to do that…and you thought supporting them wouldn’t hurt your livelihood, which depended on those immigrants.
- Comment on [Jason Schreier] AAA game budgets estimated around $300 million. These budgets are almost entirely dev salaries + overheard and have nothing to do with executive compensation (which is mostly stock) 2 weeks ago:
Yup. People don’t realize that most professional authors are not earning a living through writing.
- Comment on [Jason Schreier] AAA game budgets estimated around $300 million. These budgets are almost entirely dev salaries + overheard and have nothing to do with executive compensation (which is mostly stock) 2 weeks ago:
They’re focusing entirely on appeasing the most expensive to satisfy people, at the expense of actual good gameplay.
- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 2 weeks ago:
Yes. Greenwashing. You pay someone who wasn’t going to cut their trees to keep not cutting their trees, and you get carbon credits to offset your company’s pollution.
You change nothing but get to brag about saving the world.
- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 2 weeks ago:
Weird you’d let all that talent go, then…
- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 weeks ago:
If we accept the premise
Let’s not. They’re doing this backwards. If this were actually for the children, identification happens by the content, with the filters set locally.
Not BROADCASTING TO THE ENTIRE INTERNET that a child is browsing.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2 looks amazing in the 21:9 ultra-wide 2 weeks ago:
Because of the “less purchasing power”.
That’s literally what that means. The currency doesn’t go as far as others.
- Comment on Molyneux’s God Game Masters of Albion Opens Closed Beta Playtest Signups Ahead of April 22 Launch 2 weeks ago:
Sure, We’ll see if this one even sells well. His last few haven’t lasted. Sounds like hype-Master Pete breached containment again

This is supposedly his last one.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
why not just hope you hoarded enough, and this blows over quickly
Is not very long term thinking.

Piss in a bucket. There’s your ammonia.
- Comment on Break privacy to make privacy? Age verification isn’t the answer 3 weeks ago:
They track everyone who visits a site that has a “share on Facebook” button, so they want this info for way more people than are visiting their actual sites.

- Comment on Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' 3 weeks ago:
Except reusing the same model/texture can be very good for performance. It doesn’t matter if there’s 1 instance or 1000 of a model in the game, it takes up the same amount of memory. Even transforming it/scaling it barely changes that.

What does that even mean?
- Comment on Valve says 5,863 titles earned over $100,000 on Steam in 2025 4 weeks ago:
