A nazi in the correct state. Excellent.

Yeah, skipped over the PNW pretty hard to.
- Comment on Anon orders food 1 week ago:
There is an old idiom that goes “everything about sex except sex. That’s about power.”
Catcalling is about expressing power over someone else bodt and life. It’s a veiled threat, coached in sexual terms. No one doing it actually expects to have sex afterwards. Its about sayihg “i can force sex on you. I can take control of you.”
A lot of the men engaging in it above are doing it because of peer pressure, normalized misogyny and the “thrill” of getting an acknowledgement of that power by scaring women. I dont think most of them want to attack women outright to begin with, but it normalizes mixing sex with violence and dehumanizing woman.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 — Nvidia says it has 10x the graphics power of original Switch 2 weeks ago:
The “10x” is via AI created fake frames too. Its a common Nvidia marketing trope, so not suprising.
Its a 7 year old console at this point, so gpu power is way up, but Nintendo always goes cheap with their hardware. I would guess actual GPU improvements are more like 3x-5x, which puts it in line with maybe the last gen of other consoles.

So option 1 I guess.
Way to be mad at 4 billion people because you dont want to be a decent human being.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 2 weeks ago:
Very incel-y, but sure.
Or, you could take it as a statement with the subtext that it clearly has, which is “dont approach us if youre going to be an asshole.”
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 2 weeks ago:
At the same time, lots of men are really shitty when they “approach” women.
- Comment on Of course Date Everything! got Matthew Mercer to voice a hot, anthropomorphic D20 2 weeks ago:
Yes indeed, but this seems exactly up his alley. Very whimsical theme, lots of other great voice actors involved.

Biblically accurate angles are nightmare fuel.
Angels described in the bible aren’t people with pretty bird wings. They are oscillating, intersecting ribbons of eyes, pulsing and shifting and glowing.
- Comment on I tried THIS and it actually works all the time 3 weeks ago:
Cheddar, swiss and parm tend to be very low lactose based on how they are made too.
Likely not low enough for someone with a bad allergy, but mostly fine for run of the mill lactose intolerance.

If you enjoy power armor stories, give “Armor” a shot.
- Comment on 3,700 hrs in Rimworld - my current colony 5 weeks ago:
Also the modding community is absolutely outstanding. Endless, high quality content that basically works out to dozens and dozens of base game quality DLCs for free. You can almost literally enhance or fix any facet of the game. Have an issue with the gun animations? Fix is there. Want 400 rug patterns? Yiu got it pal. Want to fully overhaul the game with hundreds of vehicles fuel mechanics? Done deal.
With even just the most popular “vanilla expanded” mods from Oskars team, the modded game easily gains 5-10x content for absolutely $0 dollars.

Fixing city skylines 2 would be a good start.
- Comment on First trailer live for Skull Horde where you command an army of dead soldiers as a floating skull 5 weeks ago:
Looks like a medieval riff on despots game. Hopefully the balance is solid and it has some longevity.
- Comment on This queue for the new swasticar 5 weeks ago:
In the US, they are always cops, on duty or off. That’s why lots of places like hiring them for security. They can instantly arrest people, justified or not, and can often carry a gun where other people are not allowed to.
We have nothing resembling actual enforcement of law here.

Lina Khans FTC sued them, but you can bet that will be quietly dropped soon.

- Comment on Diablo speedrunners searched 2.2 billion random dungeon seeds to debunk a two-decade old speedrun record 1 month ago:
I ujderstand it from a “if every single level was the optional level, this what the best possible rin would be level.” Tool assisted speed running before that was a thing.
The fact that levels in that spliced game were faked makes it all pointless through.

Dan is the best. One of the best old school YouTuber essayists. He really leans into a topic and interrogates it from every direction.
Hes got great videos on the metaverse, crypto scams and hilariously, the complexity of making cooling videos.
- Comment on Anon sets up a prank at school 1 month ago:
You give woefully underfunded school IT departments too much credit, especially in the “desktops are new tech” days.
Honestly, sounds like your Mississippi school was ahead of the curve from a lockdown perspective.
- Comment on Amplitude announce Endless Legend 2, an oceanic 4X with Manor Lords outfit Hooded Horse as publisher 2 months ago:
Extremely lopsided balance between factions. Most had interesting mechanics, some basically useless and some wildly overpowered. Apparently the new-ish aqua faction has an overwhelming mobility advantage, things like that.
They added these game changing titans to the game at one point that you could defeat and employ, but this was either just luck of the draw or not possible for some factions.
Combat was meh go boring, generally. The “look at us go” turn based zoom in fights were very boring to watch, and more boring to play.
The game dragged. Just dragged, to finish. I played dozens of times, and i dont think i fully finished the game more than maybe 3 times.
All that said, the games world building, plot, and overall interesting mechanics makes me hopeful for this sequel. If they can keep the fascinating lore going and fix the “game” issues, i’ll be there for it.

Popular distro or one based on it. Pop-os is Ubuntu based and has always worked well for gaming. Its maintainted bt system76, a solid hardware vendor.
The fact they pulled all the snap bloat out also is a win win.
