Japan cast cat girl, it was super effective. All knowledge of atrocities was erased from western nations.
- Comment on Someone should really develop this idea 1 week ago:
It an investment return problem as much as a technical one. A computer could maybe reduce a team of 6 to a team of 2, saving optimistically 500k/year. The cost of building that system is likely at least ten million, putting a break even at 20 years minimum. When you factor in the costs of maintenance and running the program, it’s going to make it take even longer. Also because it’s not actually a solvable problem, you have to pick an accuracy level you are comfortable with, too low and you need too many people fixing things anyway, too high and people are cheaper.

Dino ranch isn’t a bad choice either.
- Comment on Someone should really develop this idea 2 weeks ago:
The problem with train scheduling is that computers don’t just make it better. There’s a very real chance computers could make it worse or result in approximately the same outcome but not require millions in investment into a new system.
- Comment on Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine 2 weeks ago:
Endless arguments about a new engine vs even more duct tape on the creation engine. Starfield was a tech demo of their latest updates.
- Comment on I say this as an ex-coder, but is it possible to ask for a paper ballot instead of using the stupid machines when voting? 2 weeks ago:
My state is paper ballots and a tabulator that just counts the bubbles for each candidate, so everyone gets one. They have a computer based option for accessibility, but I believe that also prints ballots.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo got a lot of hate and took a big loss with the palworld lawsuit.
- Comment on Palworld Hits 40M Players Ahead of Friday's 1.0 Launch - FullCleared 3 weeks ago:
You can use the same save file. The devs did recommend starting over though as a lot has changed. You can use the global palbox to store pals you want to transfer between saves.
- Comment on Back in my day we could all fit in grocery stores 3 weeks ago:
Once the research showed bigger carts lead to more buying, it was inevitable.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
International students at US universities are 1% genius level students with full ride scholarships and maybe even grants. 5% student athletes with full rides, and likely NIL packages now. 94% children of rich parents that can afford the full tuition price and an apartment + allowance for their children.

I’m only buying dlc for games I already have.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 month ago:
It comes down to jealousy. A manager can’t possibly make less than their direct reports is a common thought process, especially when both positions are salaried. Some companies are willing to buck the trend and pay at least first or maybe second level managers less than some of their reports at times.
It’s actually somewhat common for roles with commission or tips to make more than management. This also happens with roles that get paid overtime.
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 1 month ago:
I’m not saying it isn’t a problem, I’m saying it’s been used as justification for things that have little to do with climate change.
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 1 month ago:
The vast majority of climate focused policy and arguments has nothing to do with climate change. A significant portion is lightly re themed malthusian arguments. Another significant portion is people wanting to change society to their preferred version.

I’d skip the middle man and put them in the trash.

More proof this is the dumbest timeline.
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 month ago:
There’s the older elder scrolls games, or Dread Delusion which is a spiritual successor to Morrowind. There’s mods that change Skyrim up like ordinator. There’s not much thats really like Skyrim.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It really depends on what you are comparing against. A temperature taken in direct sunlight at human height in a paved parking lot is going to be well over 10 degrees different than a grassy area shaded by a building. Even if they are adjacent areas. Proximity to a large body of water can easily change the temperature by 5-10 degrees.
A weather app is going to present a temperature that trys to average all of that for a fairly wide area.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 2 months ago:
I think the game just has too many mechanics and it doesn’t work that well together.

It happens once they get off the ice.

I’m guessing something was plugged in the bottom one that caused the fire.
- Comment on What character is the king of plot armor? 2 months ago:
The Winchester brothers. They gave up even pretending as the show went on and just embraced the absurdity.

If you aren’t replaceable you aren’t promotable either.

- Comment on Single player, open world, fantasy, RPG games 2 months ago:
Palworld comes close to what you want. There’s not a ton of story and you can skip all of it if you want, there’s not much gated behind what the main quests are. There’s several different types of random events, you can configure the frequency of some of them as well. It is third person and the tech is more gun focused though.
If you give up the single player part, FF 14 is basically what you want.
There’s not a ton of options because it’s a tough type of game to make, and you have to be better than someone’s experience of yet another Skyrim run.
- Comment on I would like to play a calm game 2 months ago:
Transistor and Bastion are similar games that can be chill with combat.
Thomas was alone is a chill platformer with a nice story.
- Comment on Anon has an epic weekend 2 months ago:
There already is a blood spot test for rare but serious diseases that states do. It depends on the state though for a specific list of what gets tested.
- Comment on SBA #119 maths 2 months ago:
Math should be taught with postix or reverse Polish notation. It removes this ambiguity as the order of operations is left to right.
