Heath is another one.
- Comment on Take-Two is selling its indie games label Private Division 2 weeks ago:
In case you haven’t heard, a bunch of the original KSP developers are teaming up with the DayZ guy’s company to make a spiritual sequel: Kitten Space Agency.
- Comment on Haters will say it’s fake 2 weeks ago:
Just imagine if he had stuck to his promise of being a one term president.
- Comment on US Democracy 2 weeks ago:
Idk, as a white guy, that’s more cringe than offensive. Maybe that’s because I live in the South and could pass for a redneck, but I hear some vile shit from those other white guys fairly often.
- Comment on US Democracy 2 weeks ago:
You mind linking me to that ad?
- Comment on US Democracy 2 weeks ago:
Obama was a unique situation in that he was both an incredibly charismatic JFK-style figure and ran after the Republicans had managed to both start a very unpopular war and destroy the world economy.
- Comment on Birmingham Travel Guide 4 weeks ago:
In Texas, it’s common knowledge that the best tacos and tortas are from gas stations.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I’m my experience, that’s most right-wingers in Texas. They’ll bitch about corporate power, the consolidation of megacorps, the little guy getting fucked over and then just be completely unable to process that the last 40 years of Republican rule are why that’s happening.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
Skyrim was at least an improvement over Oblivion. It showed they had the ability to course correct and still create interesting worlds.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
The problem is Starfield isn’t a one off. It’s the latest in a line of progressively worse games. Every game since Skyrim has been worse than the one that came before it.
- Comment on stacked 1 month ago:
It’s more due to engineering. Materials have limited strength. Stone has fairly good compressive strength, but it’ll still crack if you put too much weight on it. If you use your stone to make a tower, it won’t get very high before it topples over. If you instead build a pyramid, the weight of the stone on top is dispersed across several stones below it and those stones disperse their weight to multiple stones and so on down to the base, letting you build far taller.

If you care to learn orbital mechanics, Kerbal Space Program is a great teacher.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:
The problem with that argument is that 80% of people live in cities. There are not enough rural people for them to be a majority of the Republican party.
- Comment on Gearbox's first Risk of Rain 2 expansion gets hammered on Steam as developer admits the PC version 'is in a really bad place' 2 months ago:
At least Gearbox isn’t spending a year+ denying that the problem exists.
- Comment on My new m.2 ssd 2 months ago:
Another thing to watch out for is single-sided vs double-sided. Many thin laptops have flush mounted m.2 slots that won’t fit an SSD with chips on both sides of the board.
- Comment on Borderlands is no longer the biggest box office flop of the year 2 months ago:
Wednesday was incredibly popular and probably a big part of why there’s a bit of a goth revival going on.
- Comment on Starbucks’ new CEO faces backlash over 1,000-mile commute to Seattle office 2 months ago:
If consumers had any taste, McDonald’s would have gone out of business decades ago.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t call most of the modern ones real RPGs either.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
The original XCOM is the source of grid based inventories.
Star Control 2 is the first RPG that did the standard dialogue interface where you talk to someone and choose from multiple replies.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
GTA3 is the one that started the trend.
- Comment on Shadows of Doubt, the procgen private-eye immersive sim, is leaving early access next month 3 months ago:
30h of gameplay seems very reasonable for a $20 game.
- Comment on Anon likes Bloodborne 3 months ago:
Here’s my experience:
Bloodborne: Get forced into playing a style I don’t like because they took away shields and magic > get abducted to hard area > can’t beat the boss or leave > quit playing
Elden: Play the character I want to > go where I want to > hit a hard boss > go somewhere else and come back to beat them when I’m stronger > finish the game and praise it as one of the best games ever made
- Comment on *doing my best google impression* Did you mean: turn in up? 4 months ago:
More specifically, Houston.
- Comment on The circle of life 4 months ago:
Yes, specifically shallow seas that are so rich that they go anoxic. Without oxygen, the organisms don’t break down and just accumulate.
- Comment on Anon gets an ultimatum 4 months ago:
It’s the academic and more polite way of referring to losers who never did anything with their lives.
- Comment on Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show 4 months ago:
No, no they don’t. Those people jumped ship after Jan 6. The only people left backing Trump are the insane religious cultists and racists that want to turn the country into a theocracy and purge anyone not white, straight and Christian.
- Comment on Avowed's Creators On Why Romance Was Considered, But Ultimately Not Included And Skyrim Comparisons 4 months ago:
Tons of people. I doubt BG3 would have succeeded if it wasn’t so unabashedly horny.
- Comment on Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity? 5 months ago:
The idea is that you spread the knowledge to others and occasionally do something about some if them, even if it’s only a small contribution.
- Comment on Employees Who Stay In Companies Longer Than Two Years Get Paid 50% Less 5 months ago:
Not just less useful. They have negative productivity starting out, because training them takes away productive time from there more experienced staff.
- Comment on Felonies, gotta catch 'em all 5 months ago:
No they weren’t. They gave trump a 33% chance of winning and successfully called out how he could win.
