  I’d argue there is only micro in chess and no macro, but I get your point.

  Do you actually wonder?

  Those caps get lost way less and since the bottles themselves usually get recycled now the caps also stay in the cycle.

  And it took me like 5 bottles to get used to it.
  Even a slow learner should get it sooner or later.

  I didn’t watch the video but the newer Pokémon games are actually bad by different measures.

  The graphics of the newest one (whatever it is called) is at least a whole generation behind other Switch titles and still it suffers from FPS drops and textures that just pop up while already in view.
  That is just objectively bad.

  That they never really innovated very much on the turn based RPG formula or that the newer games are very easy are things that I don’t even mind, especially because the games are supposed to be accessible for children.
  That could make for a nice relaxing game after a long day of work.

  But I am not willing to pay 70 something bucks for a game that is so obviously made without the necessary care for the product.

  Do you need to be like super good to enjoy this (as it seems to get comparisons to Kaizo smw) or can you play this casually?

  I actually got a spot in the closed alpha this month.

  It feels pretty good so far even though unfortunately I can’t play as much as I would like due to my job and aspects of my personal life taking a lot time right now.
  I plan on getting at least a couple more games in this weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal approved by UK regulators⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually I am against huge mergers like this because they rarely benefit the customer, but ActiBlizzard was about as bad as it gets anyway.

  Selfishly I hope maybe at least one decent RTS might come from this before everything gets enshittyfied again.
  I realize though that OG Warcraft/Starcract were not the big motivators for MS so the chance is probably slim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do any languages have words for left & right that start with the same letter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  the same way we know that ‘T’ is for ‘Tuesday’ and ‘Th’ is for ‘Thursday.’

  As a non native speaker I have to admit I actually didn’t know that.
  But in German you also use two letters for all the weekdays.
  Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr, Sa, So.

  But it is a popular riddle for children to ask M, D, M, D, what comes next?

  That cuts off exactly where I expected a “but”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are slavery reparations fair?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Obviously all of those instances are different.
  What a stupid question.

  And not just somehow.
  They are measurably different by time, context and by how systemic the suppression of whole populations was organized.

  I am not even a big fan of reparation payments myself but your strawman bashing is embarrassing.

  And the simple point is.
  If you are a white American or European (like I am myself btw) you, yes you personally, profit from privileges that this group accumulated over many generations by suppressing and exploiting other groups.

  Europe was super horrible early and in the US there are still people alive today that couldn’t visit restaurants and had to sit in the back of the bus.

  But hey if we wait another 100 years without any reparations our grandkids can claim that those thing are too long ago also.

  Thanks.

  When I finally get my deck I will give it a try.
  Trading is for wfh days then.

  Do you enjoy PoE with a controller?

  I didn’t like it when I triedit once, but I might give it another chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searching for a grindy game for on the Steam deck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have bought GD specifically because someone said it was better on controller than PoE and I kinda wanted to play on the couch when I was sick a while ago.

  At least for a couple of hours as a necromancer it worked pretty well.

  For now I went back to PoE with K&M, but I don’t rule out, that I might give GD another shot.
  And if I do, I will try again with the controller.
