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. 2 weeks 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.

It’s the opposite of a worm of Theseus. Each individual part becomes a new whole.
- Comment on Anon needs cooking advice 4 weeks 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.

I don’t need you to tell me how good my bones taste.
- Comment on To deter predators... 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s time you got into SFF PCs. Or maybe it’s best you don’t.

Which is kind of funny because of miscommunication, they thought they were naming a grisly bear.

Maybe you should think on that a little.

200-300 kilograms, or a small sedan
A small sedan weighs about twice as much as that

Why does Hayden look like he wants to consume my magical items?
- Comment on What do allergies feel like for you? 2 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 What games popularized certain mechanics? 3 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.

The first PC that I bought myself has a TNT2 with 8mb of memory. I upgraded it some time later with a GeForce 2 and the difference was shocking.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 3 months ago:
And also the concept of your collection of souls being recoverable from your last point of death.
I know the “death bag” mechanic had been done before, but the disappearing cache is a core element of Soulslike gameplay that has been repeated so many times since then. It adds a sense of urgency and FOMO to the recovery of your stuff. If you die again, it’s gone for good.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 3 months ago:
The first GPU card sold to the public was the GeForce 256 in 1999
3dfx cards like the Voodoo and Voodoo2 were 3d accelerators that predated nVidia’s offerings.
And even from nVidia themselves, the Riva TNT was a GPU released before the GeForce models.

but it felt like I was watching my girlfriend fuck somebody else.
Some people are into that. Who’s to say Reznor wasn’t?
