I feel like you’re naming berries that don’t look like most berries and non-berries that look like berries. I think you’re actually kinda agreeing with me and making my point.
In this case, strawberries are not berries that also don’t look like berries.
- Comment on A shrubbery! 5 days ago:
Berries are supposed to be bulbous and smooth. The only berry I can come up with that kinda has strawberry features is a raspberry because it’s more squishy. But even then, it has a lot of the little balls, like a blackberry. Strawberries just don’t look like a berry.

If the bread is still connected on your sub, is it technically a hotdog?
- Comment on A shrubbery! 6 days ago:
A strawberry isn’t a berry. It’s just small and has it in the name. It doesn’t even look like a berry.
Also a banana isn’t an herb. Just the banana tree is. The banana is a berry.
- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 1 week ago:
Considering Playstation is likely to have all of Xbox’s exclusives, I’m surprised Xbox is going forward with their console. It feels like another Xbox One disaster.

I get that confusion in Baseball. Crossed arms and “no” gesture means safe, thumbs up means out? I guess it makes sense from the perspective of the pitching side. But I always have to remember which is which.

I had a 3000 with a cracked screen. I could use it to display on the TV. But I went ahead and changed the screen out. I must have messed up the wiring though, because now it only works when plugged in.

Hacking it also let’s you swap O and X for canceling and selecting. To my knowledge, that’s the only downside of getting a Japanese Vita.

Endless entertainment, whether they’re in character or not.

Halo 5 has great gunplay and multiplayer. Plus elements of the campaign like the Guardians were cool.

Mine has a reheat button that I use on anything that doesn’t have explicit instructions with it. It heats at a lower power and I’m pretty sure has a censor (the time only starts for the last 30 seconds).

WTF, I remember getting Final Fantasy XV day one, getting pissed at the FOMO carnivals, and thinking surely they would rotate back in or all be included at some point. Still absolute bullshit.
- Comment on 'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN 2 months ago:
IMO, Morrowind is one of the greatest games ever made. I play it regularly and it holds up. The problem is that it’s not intuitive if you don’t know how it works.

The combat is great. It just doesn’t sit right with people that it’s not as action RPG as it looks (swing and miss) and it never tells you how important stamina (fatigue) is.
- Comment on Xbox Hardware Sales Plunge 32% YoY as Services Keep Gaming Division Afloat 2 months ago:
I already have a PS5 which I’ll get it on. I got the Xbox on a discount to play Halo Infinite with good specs (ended up hating it) and Fable. I kinda hoped for some other benefits. But end of the day, I didn’t actually need it for anything.
- Comment on Xbox Hardware Sales Plunge 32% YoY as Services Keep Gaming Division Afloat 2 months ago:
That’s what I meant by multiplatform. I don’t fully regret my Xbox because I got it one of those steep discounts and I have Halo lan parties. So a second xbox is nice. But it’s essentially just a more powerful Xbox One now.
- Comment on Xbox Hardware Sales Plunge 32% YoY as Services Keep Gaming Division Afloat 2 months ago:
I bought mine assuming the new Fable would be a console exclusive.
I also use it for Halo and Morrowind. But damn, I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I had known it would be multi-platform.
- Comment on Fable - Gameplay Teaser 2 months ago:
I thought that the point was that the King was only interested in saving everyone, so he didn’t even consider that he could avoid being a tyrant. Like, if I remember right, you can overcharge for rent to get the money without going overboard. He just said fuck it and took everything.

Wasn’t that only if you didn’t balance it enough and let the greed/evil rating go all the way up?
- Comment on Fable - Gameplay Teaser 2 months ago:
What was wrong with it? You had the big epic boss battle, and then the other guy. I liked how they handled it.
- Comment on Fable - Gameplay Teaser 2 months ago:
I liked 3 a lot. But it’s way too easy. IIRC you also can’t die. You just revive with a scar. But I never “lost” until I got to that assassin for the DLC.
Also, yeah, the ending was price gouge all of your rental properties or let everyone die. Like, great, what a choice.
Gameplay was fun though. Missions were fun. Everything was good except those two things.

My thoughts exactly. I’m a console gamer. So a straightforward all-in-one box is great.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 5 months ago:
Maybe before. But it’s gotten pretty damn good at detecting anomalies and issues. And every time a human QA validates the info, it gets better.
I’d still leave it to a human to fix the code though. I suspect that letting AI write the code would make it unworkable for people in the future. But maybe it can write code in a straightforward way to be managed. I don’t know. It’s advancing pretty fast.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 5 months ago:
From a tech POV, that makes a lot of sense. Use AI to find the needle in the haystack. Then let a person validate. That’s probably one of the better uses for it. Although I don’t love AI for any of the broad reasons to not like AI.

I don’t know what’s worse, that Microsoft may have given them the go-ahead or that they did it knowing Microsoft would be too scared to say something.
- Comment on Halo: Campaign Evolved | The Silent Cartographer Trailer 5 months ago:
That’s a normal complaint. I thought Reach was peak esthetic for Halo because it was big recognizable variations in armor.
After that they made intricate armor variants that largely go unnoticed because they just look like a mess.
