  I’m not a scientist but wouldn’t the atmospheric pressure need to be insane to bring the boiling point of water to 500°C? Is that even possible?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  White teeth are commonplace with people that post videos and images of themselves online on a daily basis. I would hesitate to refer to any videos with an influencer vibe as being reflective of the average in North America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyper Light Breaker | Buried Below Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, that’s so sad. HLD is my favourite game of all time so I’m heartbroken to hear Heart Machine is struggling with Breaker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyper Light Breaker | Buried Below Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Where did you hear about the issues? I’m curious to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can calf raise as much as I can squat, yet I have pretty small calves relative to my thighs/glutes. What's the deal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of a see-saw at the playground. Put a 50lb kid on one end and a fully grown adult on the other. The adult obviously lifts the kid, right? Put the adult one inch from the center pivot point and guess what, the kid’s weight now lifts the adult.

  Think of how long your quads are in relation to the length of your femur. Pretty much equal. Now think of your calf’s length in relation to the length of your foot. Its almost twice as long. That’s almost twice the amount of leverage compared to your quads.

  This is the difference between the two and why your calves seem so much more capable for their size than your quads.

  Leverage.

  whose house is it? If you have a kid, that kid is equally entitled to the space you’ve brought them into. That’s a burden you chose to bear when you chose to see a pregnancy to fruition.

  should two consenting aduts adapt…? Yes, especially in the presence of children. Even if we were talking about roommates instead of kids it should be self-evident that your roommate is not wanting to hear you having sex twice a day. Its a common courtesy to be considerate of others around you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels like malicious compliance to me. If I was your kid, I’d be pissed if you felt entitled to attempting to assert dominance like this.

  This is how your kids start resenting you as they grow up. Consider treating them like they’re a part of a family unit that respects boundaries instead of shoving a material possession their way to shut them up. Growing up feeling like an inconvenient burden fucks up a lot of kids in this world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what a digital coup looks like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally understand. I was half joking with my comment. Hopefully this is just a case of all of us going down to the Winchester for a pint and waiting for this all to blow over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what a digital coup looks like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Europe is dope though. Way better than this car infested, stroad-ridden, big box infested corporate dystopia we live in in North America.

  I spent 8 months living and working in France and wonder why the hell I came back to NA every single day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make Lemmy feel less dead?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy feels dead to you?

  Huh…

  It certainly feels very lively to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This perfectly describes my experience working with IT “professionals”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Try Cogmind, Caves of Qud or Dwarf Fortress maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people develop feelings for someone?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To like someone means you enjoy their presence. If people enjoy it when you’re present you’re almost guaranteed to eventually have someone take interest in you.

  For people to enjoy your presence you need to be comfortable with yourself as an individual before anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make gravity your bitch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t this in Particle Fever? That doc is incredible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comedian Russell Brand charged with rape⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why am I not surprised?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honest question because I’m OOTL, but haven’t games been this price for a long time now and weren’t Switch games even more expensive than this?

  I’m a bit confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 30th⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kinda feeling the same. The MGS3 story/execution is much weaker than 2 IMO but there are some cool gameplay advancements over 2. Oddly its just much less immersive as an experience, but its still quite good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t think Ubisoft needs to advertise a new Assassins Creed game beyond a few ads here and there, and chatting with some journalists. Spending a ton of money to allow people to play it ahead of time on stream just dilutes the experience for anyone that intends on buying the game.

  Seriously, the last thing I want is for the start of a new game to be spoiled for me by some streamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 30th⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Chrono Trigger with my wife. Having a blast with that. Almost done Metal Gear Solid on Extreme difficulty. That game is a true masterpiece. The extreme modes in MGS make them even better if you ask me.

  Finished MGS2 a couple days ago. Those final codec calls are prophetic and terrifying. Another masterpiece.

  Playing through MGS3 for the first time with my buddy too. Good fun.

  Was he asking for a Budweiser? lol

  This, but she’s also very pretty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AYANEO Pocket MICRO Classic is a tiny Android handheld without analog sticks for $179 and up - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That price is insane when the Miyoo Mini+ is under $100 CAD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favorite Racing Game Soundtrack?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Art Of Rally!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The scope of each of those games is so vastly different that I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. The art styles are wildly different too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelenskiy news is a farce and it is infuriating to see Goebbels' Garbage here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the same brand of thinking that props up the flat earth community.

  Everything’s a conspiracy and everyone but “us” is in on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an opportunity where if you’d used your brain you’d have come to a different conclusion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨place yer bets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not nearly big enough to wipe out the planet. Not even close.

  It would just cause suffering for thousands/hundreds of thousands of people. Are you OK with that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuked from orbit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes. Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Death Quietly Adds Stevia to Tea Drinks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Weh, this got heated real quick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar has some of the most restrictive mission design I've ever experienced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Insta-fail on spotted should be a difficulty option like in Metal Gear.
