Iff the rules of physics are accurate then it does, but we don’t know that they are. In fact, we’re pretty sure we’re missing some things. See: The Crisis in Cosmology.

Three spacial dimensions, which is normally what people mean when they say that, unless they specify otherwise. For example, we call them 3D game engines, not 4D. Yes, there’s also a time dimension that is special. It cannot be moved through freely.
- Comment on well? 1 week ago:
No, time does not become irrelevant. It’s perfectly normal for things inside the black hole. Here’s the space time diagram for our universe on the right, and a black hole at the top-left. The speed of light is a 45° angle to the top right, and the solid lines are event horizons. Notice the space-time diagram looks exactly the same on the other side of the horizon. To get back through though you’d have to travel faster than that 45° angle, which is impossible.
- Comment on well? 1 week ago:
Freely means both directions, not just different speeds in one direction.
- Comment on GET BOMBADEERED, IDIOT 1 week ago:
It’s a purposefully campy movie. It’s inspired by an actual fascist novel, but they’re making fun of it in the movie. It’s a really good watch, but you have to be fine with the camp.
Alternatively to the movie, or better in addition to, you should watch this.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 week ago:
Light travelling through a media like water or a prism actually changes speed, however slight.
Colloquially, but not in actuality. Light still travels at the same speed technically, but it bounces off particles which makes it take a longer path so it takes longer to get from one point to another, but it’s speed is still constant.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 week ago:
I don’t know how this works, but wouldn’t the exhaust of the jet be moving at or slower than the speed of sound relative to the other particles in the exhaust. Sure, compared to other particles it’s moving faster, but that doesn’t really matter if we’re only looking at the exhaust. It’s not doing anything differently, though the exhaust and outside particles will have to interact at the boundary.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 1 week ago:
Yep. Theoretically a vulnerability could be found (or manufactured) for KeePass, but it’s much less likely than an online service, and it’s extremely common and open source, so if there are issues then there’s a fairly good chance it’ll be noticed.
- Comment on Has the live-service dream crashed back down to earth? | Opinion 1 week ago:
There are lots of good examples, they’re usually smaller studios/indie though. GaaS sucks when you get the people with business degrees in on it. It’s great for people who are working on a game they’re passionate about and just want to keep adding more content.
- Comment on Former Dead Island 2 Dev Addresses Delay: 'Boy, That Game Sucked' 2 weeks ago:
I got it for free on Epic. I launched it and something wasn’t working right, and tried a few different Proton versions. Then it just would launch because Denuvo thought it was different systems. I thought I’d come back later and try it, once that wore off, but I never did and probably never will, so the game wasn’t even worth trying it for free for me. Lol. Maybe I’ll try it some day, but I doubt it.

Yep, and every time people post about it like it’s something new, and every time people inform them that it happens every year.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 weeks ago:
Buy indie games that are actually trying to make good games and do cool things though.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t before the price is set in stone the time to make a big deal out of it? Like you said, they probably leaked it to gauge the response. We should mock it for the absurdity that it is so they know they’re way off the mark before it comes out.
That is, assume the price is something we want changed. Honestly, I don’t really. I want this to flop. We need fewer Microsoft products out there, not more. I want people on Linux powered devices, so we get more support for Linux software.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 weeks ago:
It also requires perfectly rational actors with perfect information. If they can suppress information about competition or manipulate you to have loyalty then it doesn’t work, and both of these happen constantly.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s fair, and sometimes good. I’ve been playing Stationeers recently and it’s fantastic. It’s priced reasonably, and it’s an amazing game. They have a few DLCs, which are purely there to give support, not new content. It’s for you to pay the devs more if you have the money to give them and want to.
However, they’re also losing money and the game and have said they never expect it to be profitable*. Most games are Stardew Valley, and they’re struggling to survive. Stardew doesn’t need to make more money. Most small/indie studios do.
*It’s the studio making Kitten Space Agency, which they’ve said they want to be free, with the option to donate. I think they’re allergic to making profit and only like making cool games. I’d highly recommend checking out their games, if only because they seem to be doing development for the sake of the games.

Honestly, not a bad idea. A lot of people who should be divorced aren’t because they feel they’ve invested too much into it. People outside of that can see more clearly.

Yes, but not mouse movements. It’ll be things like then clicking on videos and page views. That can be automated easily.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Sure, but I don’t know how they’d get that data. Every tap likely isn’t stored. Still, I could write a script to fake it, and build a device to to it. It’s evidence, but it isn’t particularly strong.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Here’s what I think, though IANAL:
Youre phone being somewhere unusual is pretty good evidence you were there, especially if a crime happened there. What are the odds you gave your phone to someone to go commit a crime with it on them?
However, if you’re planning on committing a crime, it’s wouldn’t be that difficult to have it play videos while you’re out doing said crime. It’s evidence that something happened, but it isn’t very strong evidence that you didn’t commit the crime.
However, a criminal trial requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt. You don’t need to prove that you’re innocent. You just need to create enough doubt that you’re guilty. It’s the prosecution that has to prove that you’re guilty.

I’ve lived along a lot of the east coast, south of DC. Yeah, that’s southern mostly, but I would say fried fish is not only a southern thing. Hell, it’s a British thing too. Fried chicken, and everything else, is southern, but I’ve seen fried fish all over, wherever fish is common.
I don’t know if I’d call it the American style, but it’s common. The issue is America is a bunch of states. It’s like if you tried to combine all the states in the EU to one style.
I think fried is becoming less common in the US though. It definitely isn’t my preference, and I think that’s increasingly true as time goes on.
- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 5 weeks ago:
The issues come if you know how they’re faking them. Sure, SSR can look good sometimes, but if you know what it is it becomes really obvious. Meanwhile raytraced reflections can look great always, with the cost of performance usually. It’s sometimes worth it, especially when done intelligently.

And I’d do it again you fucking neckbeard. I don’t owe you shit. Don’t start a conversation trying to be a know it all douche and you wouldnt get treated like a know it all douche.
What the fuck are you doing? Don’t be an asshole and you won’t be treated like an asshole. I posted a comment and you just go off the rails insulting me. What’s wrong with you?
Now, you have 2 choices: you can stay here and keep responding and prove you’re a retarded troll…
Or you can fuck off. I think I already made it pretty clear that I value your opinion lower than pond scum, so what are you hoping to accomplish?
You have the same choices. You clearly do value my opinion or it wouldn’t have upset you so much. You’ve sent several responses, and even a PM, to insult me. I’m not bothered, but clearly you care. Maybe try to figure out why and work on yourself. You can be healthier.

I’m not the one who started insulting people. “Read the room.”
- Comment on make fantasy great again! 5 weeks ago:
Sure, but you adding a comment which you admit was wrong and just AI slop didn’t help anything. If you’re trying to find niche information, AI probably won’t work. It doesn’t matter the resources it has. It isn’t thinking. It just pulls things that have the most relevancy, which will by definition be things that are more common, not accurate. It’ll help you find popular titles, but not niche ones with very little written on them.
- Comment on make fantasy great again! 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, so “AI” is just text prediction. It won’t give you results that haven’t been talked about a lot (accurate or otherwise). It’s not actually using intelligence and trying to find the answer, so it’s useless for something like this.
- Comment on Blurble 1 month ago:
I know I heard about a group in Africa (IIRC) where they have a lot more words for greens, but they don’t have a word for blue, or something like that. When given a test to identify the odd color out, when it’s a very slight tint change of green they identify it quickly, but most westerners take a lot longer. When all of them are green, but then there’s a blue one, they take a long time, but westerners see it instantly.
It’s why IQ tests are fundamentally flawed. Just our launguage can shape our recognition of the world. Imagine how much the rest of our culture, education, and surroundings influence us. None of these make us better or smarter than anyone else, yet they’ll all make us better or worse at different things. They’re all valuable, and it’s part of why diversity, equity, and inclusion are so important. These different points of view can bring so much value to us

Everything is a math problem. It just needs to be written in the proper form.

Yeah, except he thinks this is a gang instead of just what happens when people respect each other in society and work together.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
While you’re correct, the “specific wavelength” images still seem like cheating. Sure, purple would be pretty hard otherwise (and that purple color is a typical false color for nebulas, while the sun one is not typical for most people to see), the cyan shouldn’t be hard to do. There’s plenty of satalite pictures of earth with the right color, or the atmosphere. Maybe they don’t want too many earth pictures, but they could ditch the white clouds for Pluto or something. White is easy. Green would be harder to replace.
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 1 month ago:
Banning the ability to legally make a choice is effectively the same thing as banning the choice itself. It doesn’t matter if you’re legally allowed to consume something if it’s illegal to obtain it.
For example, I’m in VA. When Democrats last had power they legalized possession of Marijuana, and created a path towards establishing legal vendors. When Republicans took over, despite saying they wouldn’t do this, they removed the path to create vendors, so it’s illegal to purchase. It is technically still legal to grow it, but that’s the only legal option, and it isn’t an option for most people. In effect, it’s almost as illegal as it was before.
