I cut myself more often with a cartridge razor than a safety razor.

The suggestions of listen to what your partner likes is good…
If you’re completely lost on how to even start, write the alphabet with your tongue. It will make lots of different motions so she can see what she likes

I think mine is just making sure I’m alive

- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 2 weeks ago:
At E3 in 2013, Microsoft announced that all games, including physical copies, would be electronically bound to your Microsoft account, making “physical” copies just keys for their digital network.
Sony famously made fun of them, and forced Microsoft to change course for the Xbox One/PS4 era
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft tried to make their consoles digital only years ago. They only added the disc drive back because Sony’s marketing of the PS4.
Now that Sony’s out, MS will gleefully follow

- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 4 weeks ago:
The context of my comment was the previous poster thinking SteamOS should be up-to-date due to being Arch based.
I was explaining why it’s so far behind
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 4 weeks ago:
SteamOS takes snapshots of Arch and spends months testing and bug fixing for their hardware
It doesn’t pull directly from Arch
- Comment on Scan to Verify You're Human 4 weeks ago:
They were introduced as a way to crowdsource OCR
Google would give two words, one they knew and one they didn’t
4chan screwed with them back in the day by all giving the same wrong answer on the second word so their OCR would scan wrong
- Comment on When they have signs like this I always give them a few bucks 5 weeks ago:
That seems inefficient. Surely they know a cheaper weed dealer than I do
- Comment on We were the best of friends 1 month ago:
I will point out that when selling cadavars was legal, murders went up from people looking to cash in.
It would be difficult to ensure the dead actually died through accident or natural causes rather than having been killed for their meat.
- Comment on Not being culturalist but are Koreans overtly kind? Story inside. 2 months ago:
I’ve had similar with Vietnamese, Chinese, and Indian friends in college

- Comment on What actually is the 10-point proposal from Iran which Trump said is "workable basis on which to negotiate"? 3 months ago:
Trump needs the war to end before elections later this year… I think it’s extremely likely the US agrees to giving Iran more power than it had before the beginning, Trump just needs one small concession so he can call it a “win” even if he’s lost
- Comment on Will an American remake of Squid Game be bad or better than the original? 3 months ago:
I think the question is less “should they” and more, there is one already announced and in production, so what do you think it’ll look like

You see it all the time in Disney animations, Pixar animations, you see it with sprites being the same for clouds and bushes in Mario…
I don’t really see an issue with asset reuse, as long as the actions make sense in the new context
- Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment 4 months ago:
I currently do, maybe not twice, but about 20% more to avoid them
I also refuse to buy several cheaper car companies because of ads I saw years ago, and bought a more expensive car for my wife to avoid them
I’m sure lots of ads work on me, but if your ad is annoying enough, I will pay significantly more to your competitor
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 5 months ago:
The 99 pricing messes with me the other way…
I see like 399, and think it’s 400. Then when I think about whether I want it later, I remember the 4 and the 99 and believe it costs 500
- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 5 months ago:
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned…
Slack was taking a big market share over MS Lync
Microsoft rebranded to Teams and gave it away /for free/ to companies, getting them to decide “well, it covers enough basic features… We can save x million dollars/year”
Without thinking about what happens once Teams is the standard

A cosmic bitflip is unlikely to lose all the data
In a video, you’ll get one frame of distortion (if it’s a key frame, it may be several seconds of distortion)
Similarly for a text file, picture, etc.
99.999% of the time you wouldn’t notice
