Oh, there are certainly some that are worth watching but overall as I said it is more hit&miss than other types of shows (and it is not as if e.g. live action shows or western animation is always great, far from it).
One thing I forgot that only affects some shows too is that anime sometimes seems to have multiple sub-series for a given series with names and no clear indication for the intended order of watching or if one is a remake of another or a prequel or sequel. They might be great but it is a pain to figure out and if you get it wrong you might spoil earlier shows since you started in the middle.

Not OP but the subtitles are only part of the reason why anime is a bit hit&miss for me.
Another is the tone, a lot of the emotions are extremely over-exaggerated and in some shows it goes so far as having the characters almost constantly shout. This makes it hard for me to form an emotional bond with the characters, e.g. I aborted my attempt to watch Attack on Titan after about two episodes when I realized that I didn’t care if any of the characters lived or died with a slight preference towards them dying because they were annoying to watch in some cases.
Not sure if it is quite the right term for drawn content but the cinematography conventions in anime can also be annoying with e.g. zooms from extremely wide shots to extreme close-ups. Kill La Kill was a particular negative example among the anime I tried watching that I can remember.
That said, some anime is perfectly fine but it is usually more the kind that is closer to western animation in style and character behaviors (leaning more towards realistic character looks and camera angles and lighting you would see in reality).

Depends on what you count as casual sex. People grow emotionally more attached to friends with benefits than to strangers too and might help them in a tough situation over a stranger or mere acquaintance.

Even just blowing out all the dust from a passive cooler (under the CPU fan) can make your system run a good 10°C cooler.

I got the idea from Ark.

The stacking debuff of course does have a timer that doesn’t continue running while you are not playing.
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 3 weeks ago:
Don’t forget to never fix game breaking bugs.
Combined with a single save only mechanic so if you encounter the bug even if it doesn’t lead to a crash there is a good chance you have to start over from scratch because your last save game before the bug has been overwritten.

And then they just drop on the ground in front of you and are immediately picked up again as you move the slightest bit.

Speaking of Stardew Valley, game dev tells you you can do anything, adds energy system that makes you pass out if you aren’t home and in bed by 5PM, immediately adds quest that tells you to talk to literally every NPC in the whole game on day 1.

You mean erratically fluctuating 3-30FPS just as the game wants you to go through a jump puzzle that requires precise timing and of course physics calculations are based on display FPS.
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 3 weeks ago:
The save point is obviously not even directly before the cut scene but before some slow moving platform/elevator jump puzzle you need to navigate by waiting for each of them to be in place that comes before the cut scene.

With buttons on screen that change position based on the length of the dialog line

And of course you need to be always online with that account even though it is single player and all game data is already available locally.

Inventory expansions of the extremely tiny default inventory cost premium currency per month.
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 3 weeks ago:
Some items also rot, the rot timer doesn’t stop in the unskippable cutscenes and maybe even continues ticking down while you are not playing.

You mean it is a kink so annoying that it will put you off porn for a while because of how often it is mentioned around that time of year?

For the same reason our OS memory management class was in Java, a language without pointers, because some idiot decided all courses had to be standardized on the same language because the industry says they need people who know that language now.

Couldn’t be a compiled language, those wouldn’t even get to the point where you send a request.

I wish media depicted more healthy relationships.
And when they do they often portray them as effortless “found my soulmate” kind of relationships which is not how the real world works. Even if you have an amazing partner you need to put in effort to be an amazing partner to them yourself.

The problem with that whole concept is that it is often criticized by going the other way, i.e. that everything old is better, when in reality neither everything new nor everything old is great and change has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Are we sure they even understand that concept themselves?

We don’t care how many people were alive back than compared to today.
But that is exactly the ratio you claim to be 99.9% when in reality it is closer to 93%.
- Comment on Anon's uncle is sick 1 month ago:
You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.

setting the water temperature right where I liked it.
I have that too, it is called “having separate knobs for temperature and turning the water on and off” though I wouldn’t exactly consider it AI.

Yeah, it could upset plans such as tickets, amounts of food brought along, seat reservations at restaurants,… so it is a bit rude to keep that to the last minute.

In what world do you think someone is a creep and then you agree on going on a hike of all things with them, an activity that is basically guaranteed to have you alone with them at some point?

How often do thinker with the memory management in Java?
As a sysadmin unfortunately every single one of those shitty Java projects forces me into dealing with that sooner or later.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 2 months ago:
Pretty much any compiled language is easier to install and distribute. Java applications are an absolute pain to get to run to the point that most need specialized wrapper scripts (usually in shell on unix platforms) and need to tinker with memory management parameters on almost all of them.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 2 months ago:
There is also absolutely no consideration in Java for production usage.
