A million isn’t that much for a company, especially if that’s revenue.
- Comment on Dude's rock 16 hours ago:
That seems way to general. I wouldn’t label Tony Montana or Walter White anti heros.

Beating the absolute shit out of people isn’t lawful.

Since when did joker become an anti hero? He’s the chaotic evil to Batman’s chaotic good.

The McRib is proof that enough barbecue sauce can make anything delicious. If you get a bite that isn’t swimming in sauce it’s much worse.
- Comment on Games you played inside video games. 5 days ago:
Playing a giant melee on super Smash Brothers Melee with super mushrooms on high spawn while using the biggest characters on the game and watch level is fun. I think it breaks the core game enough to qualify as unintended.

There’s also a huge difference between beef cows and dairy cows.
- Comment on Assumptions 1 week ago:
Most people aren’t ever really exposed to nature. You can have a cuddly dairy cow, but that’s not universal. Most encounters people have are going to be with animals that are docile and used to human interactions.
Also it is a little counter intuitive at first. Predators will retreat from a fight of it’s not worth the effort. Prey doesn’t retreat once the fight starts, because it’s literally life or death for them.
- Comment on how do plants in a green house get enough co2? 1 week ago:
Also, most green houses have fans that can help circulate air in from the exterior.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I don’t have the time anymore, the price isn’t really the factor. Anything new has to compete with my existing library and backlog, and other things on my wishlist. It’s a problem that’s only going to get worse, games aren’t really aging out of relevance at the rate they used to.
- Comment on What game is a guilty pleasure of yours? 1 week ago:
Wet. The reviews were pretty harsh due to the length and number of loading screens, but the gameplay was extremely fun. It does end with a cinematic and quick time events which was a bit disappointing, but it’s one of the few games I’ve played through multiple times.
- Comment on Why does a community called no stupid questions allow comments that say the question is stupid? 2 weeks ago:
The community name is asperational, maybe someday it will be reality.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 2 weeks ago:
Right, women can only exist in exclusive environments.

It’s not public if you block participation.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 2 weeks ago:
Reddit or Lemmy isn’t a great to lace for private communities. If you want to be restrictive of who can participate go to a service that supports it like discord. If you want people to join your X only thing that is a you problem, it’s not on everyone else to help you with it.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 2 weeks ago:
X only communities shouldn’t be publicly viewable.

US IP rights are only a good example of a bad example.
- Comment on "Does Hitler have a right to privacy?" and other big questions in research ethics. 3 weeks ago:
He’s been dead for 80 years, that’s plenty long enough for anyone’s feelings to not matter.

One of my grandparents had 7, I even took them to college
- Comment on Native Americans? 3 weeks ago:
Generations are exponential, you have 32 5th generation ancestors and 62 total. You’re less than 5% of your 5th generation ancestors.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 3 weeks ago:
The EU is working it’s way towards digital ownership. Gdpr and dma are steps in reducing corporate power and granting ownership over identity.
- Comment on Native Americans? 3 weeks ago:
That’s probably only true if you accept essentially irrelevant amounts of ancestry. If you take 5 generations, there’s likely at least one person 50% or more native in that family, but that would be <5% of their ancestry.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
A product sold at a loss to attract customers who hopefully buy other products with higher margins that result in a net profit for the retailer.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
I think comparing it to a console is the wrong mindset. It’s a computer first that can also be a console. It’s also a pre built Linux based computer you can have a higher degree of confidence that things just work even after updates. It’s a legitimate competitor for a new windows PC as much as it is a console competitor.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 3 weeks ago:
Digital ownership is probably going to happen, but it’s going to take a generation of politicians to die off. Once we get more people that understand computers and digital goods aren’t magic, there can be change.
- Comment on Steam Machine is huge for indie development 3 weeks ago:
The big difference is the compatibility is actually there now. Also, controller support is a lot more common for PC games now.
- Comment on Lymey Lizards 3 weeks ago:
It’s not even the first lizard based medicine. There was also Byetta, which was based on gila monster saliva. It’s a diabetes drug that was one of the first to also be useful for weight loss.

You deep throat that thing like God intended.
- Comment on Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post 3 weeks ago:
The big subs were full of bots, but for some it didn’t really matter. It a post was a bit but it was still funny on memes or funny then it’s fine. I don’t care if karma farming bots were the majority of posts so long as it’s still good content. The content does seem to be significantly worse now though.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
It’s absolutely a generic open world game, bit that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The formula is fun if it’s done well, which I think it is for Horizon Zero Dawn. The combat style is also uncommon and provides a satisfying loop of stealth and bullet time mechanics.
