The giant swastika is a bit of a giveaway
No, that’s just an unfortunate faux-pas
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 2 weeks ago:
I disagree. They’re important for me to know if I want to keep pursuing this job opportunity or if I should stop wasting our time. I don’t want to do a second or third interview only to find out afterwards about all these factors. I could be out there interviewing for other jobs in the meantime, not in a second interview at this shitty company that doesn’t want to tell me how shitty it is until they’ve offered e the job.
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 2 weeks ago:
Dead Cells is 50% off on GOG right now.
If you enjoyed Hades, you might like the new Ninja Turtles game, Splintered Fate. It’s definitely a bit more than “inspired by” Hades. Doesn’t quite hit the same, but it’s still a good time.

He thought it was his lucky day, but it was me, Dio!
- Comment on Anon meets a girl at a wedding 1 month ago:
I don’t share my blood with anyone. You keep your grubby hands to yourself.
- Comment on Who stole all the pies? Michelin-starred chef 'gutted' at theft of 2,500 pies. 1 month ago:
I mean nobody wants to admit they eat 2500 pies, but I did and I’m ashamed of myself. The first pie doesn’t count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blow torch and I just kept eating.
- Comment on Will the price of Freeze Driers go down? (USA question) 1 month ago:
Safe from? You mean she doesn’t get to.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 2 months ago:
It’s the opposite of a worm of Theseus. Each individual part becomes a new whole.
- Comment on Anon needs cooking advice 2 months ago:
This is the best way of getting sauces to stick as well. The concentrated pasta water left over at the end is great for making mac and cheese for example. Much better than a few teaspoons of pasta water from a large pot as is usually recommended.
- Comment on vultures 2 months ago:
I don’t need you to tell me how good my bones taste.
- Comment on To deter predators... 2 months ago:
Same here. Evolution doesn’t work that way. It’s basically the opposite. Species don’t evolve to solve a problem, they evolve randomly and sometimes that solves a problem for them. Or sometimes, it pushes the species into a very narrow niche where its survival is ensured as long as the current extremely precarious situation they find themselves in doesn’t change.
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 2 months ago:
It runs fine on Linux.
It’s true that most people wouldn’t know, and probably wouldn’t look that far into things before buying a game. Fortunately Steam’s refund policy is pretty good for this kind of situation.
- Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming 2 months ago:
Maybe it’s time you got into SFF PCs. Or maybe it’s best you don’t.
- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 2 months ago:
How else do you plan to knock them over?
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 2 months ago:
Your math is wrong.
- Comment on pump up the jamz 2 months ago:
That was the Arecibo observatory
- Comment on GORILLA GORILLA 2 months ago:
Which is kind of funny because of miscommunication, they thought they were naming a grisly bear.
- Comment on Anon plays a guessing game 2 months ago:
“The left one?”
- Comment on Since when does a clock need a privacy policy? 2 months ago:
Maybe you should think on that a little.
- Comment on Fruit Flies 3 months ago:
Are you suggesting they’re not good with cheese?
- Comment on Do you have what it takes to become a geologist? 3 months ago:
You think you’ve got the stones to become a geologist?
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 3 months ago:
Who’s the indie company going under here?
- Comment on Anon has a plan 3 months ago:
Okay, McPoyle.
- Comment on dream job 3 months ago:
200-300 kilograms, or a small sedan
A small sedan weighs about twice as much as that
- Comment on Fields of Mistria is one of the most impressive games I've ever played 3 months ago:
Why does Hayden look like he wants to consume my magical items?
- Comment on What do allergies feel like for you? 3 months ago:
Mine are similar to yours, but only two relatively short periods per year. It hits me mid-spring, and end of summer.
As for your allergy testing, it’s likely you’re not really allergic to all of the allergens you were tested for. In many cases for those tests, if a few of the allergens trigger a reaction, then all or most of the injection sites will react rather than just the ones you’re allergic to. It helps when you can tell in the moment which one started it, since reactions happen quite quickly.
- Comment on Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee? 4 months ago:
Alton John, a famous musician who sings about food.
- Comment on Too many looks. 4 months ago:
650,000 decades, yes.
- Comment on Anon pretends to be a girl online 5 months ago:
On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 5 months ago:
At that point, what even is the purpose of defining it? It’s such a specific term that was designed to only apply to their hardware. It’s like creating a new word for a car because you added air conditioning to it.
Sure, they had the first GPU because they coined a term that only applied to one specific product.
