- Comment on Games with loot boxes to get minimum 16 age rating across Europe 1 week ago:
I think the problem is less that the legislation is targeted at children and more that it is very easy to circumvent. Unless they start enforcing mandatory age verification for every game / gaming service that is, but even then you could just buy an account or game keys.

Yes, that’s Liberapay. You may have noticed that I mentioned Patreon.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
They are on liberapay if you want to support the project btw. Combined with Patreon, they sit at less than 700$ a week. That’s like half a dev before tax

Ingl, what I’m disgusted about here is the media.

My parents always gave me cooking pots. Small to medium sized ones with two handles are easy to grab and easy to clean. If you need to “use” it repeatedly, you can just put boiling water in it in between uses

I would stay at home for an okay income and kids, although, as an IT guy, I could probably still work from home part time

It is also important to note that the bible was curated (and probably even edited) by the Catholic Church in the past. So what you read is basically only what they wanted you to read to begin with. I would really like to get into the apocrypha at some point - especially into alternative descriptions to the biblical canon
- Comment on Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc? 1 month ago:
Praise where praise is due: They did pump out a ton of free updates. Does this compensate for the terrible state the game was released in? That’s something everyone needs to judge for themselves imo.
Does the game have what they once promised now? Is it “good” yet? I think that’s a more difficult question. If I was to criticise Hello Games for anything, than that even now they have not met some of the expectations they set. At least not for me personally.
And I’m not talking about bs speculation or hype, I am talking about things they have said would be in the game, some of which are still not here, and many of them feel like an alpha version of what you would expect. I can’t help but feel disappointed even today.

They can speak, they just act like they can’t in front of foreigners. I am learning “Dutch” and am 100% convinced this whole language is a hoax

“How relevant is inflation, considering there is so much inflation that…”

Isn’t the Switch 2 is cheaper in today’s money than the PS3 was without a decade of inflation?
- Comment on PFP Evolution 2 months ago:
I only watched S1 and the very start of S2, but I would say there is clearly a much worse one. If he just picked her the series would have been over immediately, another big plus.

Wikipedia says the lethal dose is estimated to be 6.5 to 13 mg / kg of body weight. Following that, a cig couldn’t possibly kill you. Probably not even when injected into a vein

Who needs housing, medicare, tourism, foreign relations, chips, rare earths, democracy, independent media, uncensored internet, demilitarized police, social security, general education, affordable higher education, a clean environment, worker’s rights, women’s rights, sexual freedom, separations of powers, separation of church and state and probably a couple dozen other things anyway?
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 4 months ago:
I thought Wikipedia doesn’t accept anything that seems AI generated? In other words, the worse the article the smaller the chance it will make it on the platform
