I always go back to Prometheus when talking about the “Idiot Ball” because it’s the gold standard. You’ve got these world-class scientists sent on a trillion-dollar mission who don’t even know what they’re doing there until they wake up from cryo, and then they immediately act like children playing in a backyard.
The second the sensors say the air is “breathable,” they’re ripping their helmets off like they’ve never heard of a space-virus or a spore. It’s insane. Then you’ve got the biologist, a literal professional, seeing a hissing, alien “space-cobra” in a clear threater posture and his first instinct is to try and pet it like a stray cat.
And don’t even get me started on the guy who literally mapped the cave with high-tech drones being the one who gets hopelessly lost in it. Or the “Prometheus School of Running Away from Things” where you run in a perfectly straight line under a falling, circular ship instead of just… stepping to the left? It’s like the script needed the plot to happen so badly that it just stripped every character of their survival instincts and professional training.
Compare that to competency porn shows, like the Martian, where they FEEL like the best of the best

I don’t see a “and they need to host it”
But allowing/enabling community servers would allow it to stay playable at minimum cost to the developers

They are not uncomfortable because you are used to them
Bet if you spent your life as a nudist, and someone asked you to wear jeans, you would find them super uncomfortable!
Long story short: wear a seat belt (not you, the theoretical “them”)

The problem is that people like MC and visa would then ban you from sending money TO RaunchyCard.
So it just moves the problem back a step.

- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 year ago:
I’m not sure if you are saying what i said (that someone in charge sending his minions to harass someone is closer to authoritarianism), or him.
I definitely should have used the word “communism” in my sentence, but since he used socialism, i didn’t want to change the subject from socialism to communism.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 year ago:
Thats… kind of the opposite of socialism. Socialism, at least the ideal form, is when the ‘workers hold the means of production’, with no figure heads. This is closer to authoritarianism, with a charismatic leader commanding people to do things.

i played hundred of hours of OW1, bought a OWL jersey, went to a couple live games…
Never bothered to install OW2. It was just too clearly the same game with worse monetization.

yea, ill go looking for great movies and games which have good Dolby Atmos… but once i buy it, i dont need to see a splash screen every time.
Wish we could have a single splash screen with all the bits of tech. then its only one, instead of screen after screen…

- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 1 year ago:
looks like the old one was 15v, while the new one is 5v.
Now, if it has used USB-C it could still be 15v…
- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 1 year ago:
came to say that. Looks like the old one was 15v, while if the new one is USB-A it was 5v.
Now, if it was USB-C, it could still have been USB-C!

Yea, google has gotten worse, but not THAT bad.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 2 years ago:
For me it’s simply EGS paying developers to lock games only their store.
If they were just competing, trying to deliver a better product I would massively support them, similar to how I support GOG, however when you start locking content to your storez you end up with “PlayStation vs Xbox” devision of content.
