I take my shitposts very seriously.
- Comment on What are they even doing in school these days? 18 hours ago:
“Sentencing”, as in determining a sentence for a crime. Still incorrect, though, since he was only charged at this point, not sentenced.
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 18 hours ago:
Yet, you engage with society. Curious.

Hell of a first day, isn’t it? Alastair Grey, with an E.
:))))
You seem a little on edge, young man.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Is Being Review Bombed By Chinese Gamers After The Game Awards 4 days ago:
“Big company, therefore manipulation” is one hell of an argument my dude
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Is Being Review Bombed By Chinese Gamers After The Game Awards 4 days ago:
- It’s decently-made (rarely the case with new titles in current year)
- Concentrated industrial-grade nostalgiabait
- Doesn’t require the player to be a skilled Gamer
- Judges determine the majority of the score (who are probably not skilled Gamers)
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Is Being Review Bombed By Chinese Gamers After The Game Awards 4 days ago:
Just language barriers and general gamer stupidity all around.
I’m pretty sure nationalistic pride is also a factor. Wukong is not just a game they like, it’s their game.

Oh joy, I get to bust out these bad boys again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aUODXeAM-k www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhHHbgIy9jU
There’s also that one guy who touched the hot part and is now using that tiny blister to conduct a decades-long smear campaign against pots.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
It could work the same way as the three origin stories in CP77: each ending from The Witcher 3 leading to a separate intro story with a time skip before the main game begins.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
:::spoiler Witcher books spoiler One of the early Witcher books mentioned that Ciri was given some witcher drugs while she was training at Kaer Morhen, but didn’t undergo the trial of the grasses at Triss’ request. :::
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
It makes perfect sense with two of the three endings, and could even work with the third depending on how much CDPR wants to explain the cosmology behind the white frost.
- Comment on Good morning it's very cold so let's make some soup. 1 week ago:
WHY ARE YOU IRONING CLOTHES WITH THE SOUP STOVE?
- Comment on Literally c/THE_PACK 1 week ago:
It’s bonehealingjuice, but ODing on five different kinds of stimulants while CRANKING THE HOOOOOG
- Comment on Why virtual desktops always have same background? 1 week ago:
Somebody made it this way years ago and there’s not enough demand to warrant the effort to change it. KDE Plasma is 16 years old. GNOME is 25. Some features are so deeply embedded in the spaghetti code that any significant change would result in a cascading break.
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 1 week ago:
Sure, I won’t disagree. All three offending parties could/should be held responsible, depending on how the takedown request was delivered.
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 1 week ago:
I don’t believe that it was a malicious misuse. Most likely some fuckwit moron at Funko or Brandshield didn’t understand the difference between the hosting platform and the registrar and sent the takedown request to the wrong place out of negligence.
- Comment on Is there anything Lemmy has more/better content for than Reddit and other mainstream sites? 1 week ago:
One that is nothing but positive: you can edit post titles and use limited markdown in them.
One that’s done as much good as it’s done harm: polycentric moderation. One instance can’t enforce its own community rules on others. It protects lemmy.blahaj.zone from bigots, but it’s also why Lemmygrad exists.
- Comment on Thought-provoking 1 week ago:
that’s okay, I stole it too
- Comment on Should Democrats also gerrymander blue states to counterbalance any advantage that republicans have due to the gerrymandering in red states? 1 week ago:
Being the more virtuous party doesn’t work, so yes. Anything to preserve some kind of sanity.
- Comment on Funny how uniting this is somehow 2 weeks ago:
- The release of Pokémon GO
- The simultaneous release of DOOM Eternal and Animal Crossing
- The
murderassassination of a CEOextermination of a human parasite
are probably the closest we’ve ever come to world peace.
- Comment on 'I want to acknowledge that we messed up': NZXT addresses concerns about its controversial Flex gaming PC rental program and commits to taking action 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I don’t think they messed up at all. I think it was intentional and calculated. Business decisions don’t just materialize out of happenstance, they are written, proposed, and approved by multiple people. They came up with and implemented the pricing and the bait-and-switching of components. Their lawyers wrote, reviewed, and approved the contract. Their public relations personnel came up with what should be said in sponsored videos. And now that the shift has left the ass, the CEO wants to pretend it was all a mistake? Fuck off.

- Comment on alpha 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t that just sparkling racism?
- Comment on Not something urgent, but the Aussie parliament passed new laws yesterday and it could impact Lemmy.world (in a year) 3 weeks ago:
They’re not directly equivalent because Lemmy is a service (like HTTP, phpBB, or e-mail protocols), not a singular service provider (like Reddit or Gmail). The law would likely have to be enforced on individual instances.
In a practical sense, it would probably be easier to have the compliance mechanism built into the Lemmy project itself… but what do I know, I’m not a lawyer, and lawyers generally know/care fuck all about the technicalities of emerging technologies.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows to Feature Denuvo & Mandatory Ubisoft Account Linking 3 weeks ago:
Weren’t they supposed to be in damage control mode after the broken Torii gate incident?
- Comment on Thought-provoking 3 weeks ago:
Realistically, the Bible is a compilation of cherry-picked stories ranging from historical fiction to high fantasy, written by dudes who weren’t alive at the time, in a language nobody speaks anymore, translated a dozen times, losing important historical and grammatical context each time, with parts added/removed/rewritten at the ruling political and religious leaders’ fancy. I want to read the version where a Bethlehem resident wanted to confirm Mary’s post-natal virginity by hand, but the pope won’t let me.

zombie Jesus broke the rules
Even living Jesus broke the rules. According to the
fanficgospel of John, Lazarus was dead for four days before Jesus resurrected him. It’s where the line “Jesus wept” comes from. - Comment on Turkey Temptation 3 weeks ago:
Don’t forget the dissolved remains of humans who fell into those pools!

- Comment on Not voting for genocide, explained 4 weeks ago:
Careful, if the Enlightened Centrists discover your post, they might write some comments about how broken the upvote/downvote system is!
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 4 weeks ago:
If something is Nuclear enough it can generate heat
That’s an extreme oversimplification. RTGs don’t use nuclear waste. Spent reactor fuel still emits a large amount of gamma and neutron radiation, but not with enough intensity to be useful in a reactor. The amount of shielding required makes any kind of non-terrestrial application impossible.
The most common RTG fuel is ^238^Pu, which emits mostly alpha and beta particles, and can be used with minimal shielding. It can’t be produced by reprocessing spent reactor fuel. In 2024, only Russia is manufacturing it.
^90^Sr can be extracted from nuclear fuel, and was used by early Soviet RTGs, but only terrestrially because the gamma emission requires heavy shielding. Strontium is also a very reactive alkaline metal. It isn’t used as RTG fuel today.
