- Comment on Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better? 1 week ago:
Are you cherry picking the good games out of older libraries? I find people do that a lot when remembering. It’s a survivorship bias thing. The good ones get remembered more and the bad one forgotten, so they seem like the population is better.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 week ago:
requires ~10 times the amount of crops per calorie compared to just eating the crops directly
Kind of, kind of not. If fed corn, yes. If pasture raised, no. Humans can’t eat grass. Cows convert grass into food.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 1 week ago:
I misunderstood. I meant that the whole initiative was from Sony. Kroxx was talking about the delisting in specific. I don’t have any info on that.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 1 week ago:
To be fair there is a lot of speculation that this is actually entirely from steam’s side not sony or arrowhead.
Oh, that the delisting is Steam side? I thought you meant in general. My bad. I’ll edit that.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 1 week ago:
The cm’s have literally said it’s Sony. Why would there be speculation that it’s steam?
- Comment on Why do mobile games suck nowadays? 1 week ago:
Nowadays? I’ve never enjoyed mobile gaming. Every time I try, there’s been an absurd paywall or monetization. Once that strikes, I’m out.

Assuming you’re not trolling, yes. The backfire effect is a proven psychologically studied phenomenon. Arguing at people with facts and logic and aggression tends to reinforce their original beliefs. effectiviology.com/backfire-effect-facts-dont-cha…
Ironically, telling you this will likely not convince you due to said effect.

Assuming you’re not trolling, flour has variable density depending on how you scoop or squish it. Packed or unpacked brown sugar?
- Comment on Open world games, need recommendations 4 weeks ago:
It’s not Zelda like, but if you like factory games, Satisfactory is as close to open world as a factory game gets. You land on a planet and have to build a factory to launch things into space for corporate overlords. It’s first person, lots of climbing and building. There’s a tiny bit of combat, not the focus tho.

I prefer to think that we are those things piloting the meat mecha. If I can’t have a Gundam irl, I’m gonna delight in as close as I can get.
- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 1 month ago:
The battery died on my old shaver. Because I can’t leave well enough alone, I decided to see if I could replace it. Spent so much time tracking down the battery model number and looking for a replacement only to find out it’s a standard triple a. It’s identity was obfuscated by the stupid labeling. Soldered it in and bam, razor still works for several years.
- Comment on What's your favourite colour? [Non-political version] 1 month ago:
Cyan. Not just blue but cyan. Slightly neon, not sky blue pastel.
Especially if paired with black, it pops.

- Comment on Can you live a fulfilling life with autism? 1 month ago:
Considering I didn’t think I had it (but everyone else tells me I do and I can see why they’d think that) and I’ve had a pretty decent life (I’m old), I think so. My kid officially does have it, so I guess they got it from me, and I’ll be damn sure they have a good life.
Also, I would wager a tooooon of historical figures had it but people just called them “weird”. I’d bet that a huge chunk of scientists and engineers in days past had it.

Anything of sufficient size will get that way. It only takes one asshole to stink up a room, no matter how many people are in it and the more people, the more likely it is to happen.

- Comment on HP CEO says customers who don't use the company's supplies are "bad investments" 3 months ago:
I thought this was commonly known. All CEOs think like this. Customer acquisition is a metric all sales departments use. Is it because he’s saying the quiet part out loud?
- Comment on Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says 3 months ago:
Not gen z, but God bless 'em. I came to the same conclusion after the first round of layoffs at my first job. They laid off the experts because they had higher salaries and kept the lower paid, less skilled workers. It was completely absurd. Then it happened again, and again. Why would I ever expect my work to treat me with any loyalty or concern when no employer has even shown me or mine any?
