Because AAA doesn’t just mean “new game”. AAA is about budget, the size of development teams, the time it takes to make, and monetization layers. The AAA industry is struggling because they don’t really make games like they used to.

The only AAA game that I have legitimately enjoyed and played more than once is Red Dead Redemption II. Other AAA games are okay, but they feel a bit hollow and lack the immersion that RDR2 has. Then again, RDR2 was showing off a bit with what the industry can do.

No. AAA games don’t really exist anymore. They’re a thing of the past.

Because the foreskin isn’t just a useless spare part. From an evolutionary perspective, it serves a purpose.
Think of it like buying a car and modifying the transmission. The car still performs it’s primary function, but in a way that comes with trade-offs.
Circumcision is the same. Removing the foreskin (modifying the transmission) might improve some things like hygiene, but it will also completely remove the penis’ natural barrier to protect itself from excess friction

You’re right. My bad

Yeah, but that’ super rare. Only around 0.6% of boys experience it before they’re 15. Even if you’re born with true pathological phimosis, circumcision is usually a last resort because topical steroids are safer and have a pretty high success rate.
“The incidence of pathological phimosis is 0.4 per 1000 boys per year or 0.6% of boys are affected by their 15th birthday.”

Fair enough. But if that’s the point…why? You’d just be making it harder to reproduce at that point
- Comment on type shit 4 days ago:
I’ve never understood it, even for religious reasons. It’s not medically necessary, and it weakens your sex organ’s ability to do the thing it is supposed to do.

It’s cool because reincarnation turning out to be true would mean that humans are more than just bags of meat being controlled by electrical signals via the central nervous system. If you die and part of you reappears as another being, clearly something about a person can exist beyond the physical brain. That would be a HUGE paradigm shift.
Also a lot of people who believe in reincarnation believe that good karma vs bad karma affects what you come back as. That would give life meaning and give people an incentive to be good.
- Comment on cool cool cool 6 days ago:
Interesting. I personally don’t believe in reincarnation, but I really like the concept. It would be super cool if it was proven to be true.

But you won’t be conscious to experience it. You won’t be aware of it when it happens, so why are you afraid?
- Comment on School of hard knocks 6 days ago:
I actually agree with this one and i’m saying that as someone who has a degree.
There are different kinds of intelligence and not all of them are necessarily going to get you a job. You could have multiple degrees and still be an idiot
- Comment on cool cool cool 6 days ago:
“You do not experience a lack of signal”
Perhaps that’s what was throwing me off
- Comment on cool cool cool 6 days ago:
Absolutely not. Biologically, death is defined as the irreversible cessation of all vital functions that keep an organism alive. The brain permanently loses all activity.
Your brain literally sends electrical signals around your body via your central nervous system. That stops when you die.
- Comment on cool cool cool 6 days ago:
May I ask, what exactly do you think death is? What you just described is not how death works at all.
- Comment on cool cool cool 6 days ago:
Completely different situation. You’d still remember that ice cream existed. When you die your ability to remember will be gone.
- Comment on cool cool cool 6 days ago:
And do you think that you will somehow still be conscious after you die? Your ability to experience will not exist when you die either. I thought that was common sense, but apparently not.
- Comment on What's wrong with Ellen DeGeneres? 1 week ago:
I’m unsure. I’m not interested in celebrities. Though I have seen some clips of her show where she has been pretty rude to her guests. Her name also appears in the Epstein files.
- Comment on Moon Mommy Milkers 2 weeks ago:
Of course. I’m not denying it at all. It happened. I’m just saying i’m pretty sure the main critique was the technology of the time.
- Comment on Moon Mommy Milkers 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a moonlanding conspiracy theorist myself, but in their defense I think the main critique wasn’t that it isn’t possible, but that NASA didn’t have the technical prowess to pull it off in 1969
- Comment on Always use proper lifting technique 2 weeks ago:
Fair enough. Manual labor jobs do tend to have a “If it works and no one dies, we’ll call it safe” attitude. Thanks for clarifying that.
- Comment on Always use proper lifting technique 2 weeks ago:
Surely there are OSHA guidelines regulating that. I’m not calling you a liar. I’m just saying that pulling a 100lb chain 100ft vertically repeatedly would be brutally inefficient without mechanical advantage. If i’m not mistaken, riggers rarely use brute force alone for that kind of task.
- Comment on Always use proper lifting technique 2 weeks ago:
Tell me you don’t lift for your job without telling me you don’t lift for your job. Your back will start to hurt after 5 minutes if you bend over like that. Loading trucks for your job grinds you down like sandpaper on your joints.

You don’t. If their mind is already primed to fall for this nonsense, there isn’t much you can do to help them.
- Comment on How to stop a parent from jumping into the nearest religious rabbit-hole to cope with a divorce? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with your point that people should get to decide for themselves. But not if their beliefs are hurting others. Historically, religion has done more harm than good.

If he was bullied in school, that’s probably why he joined ICE. Makes him feel powerful.

Jokes aside, can someone explain to me which part the knife handle is supposed to be? The magazine is to the left of the knife, and there’s already a foregrip to the right of the knife. Is the knife just a second foregrip?
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 4 weeks ago:
That’s a bit far fetched. DLSS couldn’t put ads in game because that’s not how it works. It’s more like a post processor. It can’t generate brand new content.
Plus, if Nvidia did develop that technology, gamers would riot. Not complain. Actually riot. Not to mention it would be a legal nightmare. Modifying copyrighted game content without consent would be a courtroom speedrun.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 4 weeks ago:
Even so. OP’s post is nonsense. When people talk about misinformation on the internet, this is what they’re talking about.
DLSS 5 is still in the testing phase. Nowhere near commercially available yet. Demos are only supposed to show direction, not the finished result. One cherry picked image is glorified ragebait at best.

“AI Slop”
I’m curious. How do people think DLSS actually works?
