• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Heard it felt unfinished

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Leveling systems come from pen and paper D&D, which was inspired from wargames where units gain experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do spam calls "I wanna buy your house" ever work? Has anyone ever sold their house like that?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We call them house flippers and dont care for them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a contestant on Jeopardy! gave the correct response "Alexandre Dumas" but pronounced the surname as "dumb ass", would the response be accepted?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably accept it but correct them. We shouldn’t penalize people for only having read words, not heard them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have read through this job ad multiple times and I still have no idea who they are looking for.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nailed it. The job would be figuring out the business needs, then building out and managing a team to deliver those needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard of anyone getting a live turkey in the US. Where do you live where people do that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would vary depending on who’s saying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you be mad if I said Pym Particles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those exposed screws are way worse than the mismatched boards. Safety hazard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed - Thoughts After Playing For 10 Hours & Interviewing The Devs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mask of the Betrayer was great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, my understanding was that FQDN means that anyone will resolve the domain to e.g. the same IP address?

  It just means it’s the full format, similar to absolute vs relative paths on a filesystem. jellyfin.myexample.com is fully qualified (technically there should be a trailing dot but that’s rarely enforced these days) - doesn’t matter what it resolves to. jellyfin is not fully qualified - nor is jellyfin.myexample. This matters when you start talking about records in different zones - for example you could have an A record for jellyfin in mydomain.com.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young Frankenstein is not available for streaming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think fully qualified means what you think it means…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first one was meh, the second one was good. Haven’t played most of the others but people seem to enjoy them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're giving The Rogue Prince of Persia a GLOW-UP! (Update Teaser Trailer)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a good change, though the original isn’t awful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, what is stopping people from bribing members of the electoral college?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sending people to represent how a state voted makes more sense in the context of the 18 century without phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warcraft II: Remastered internal alpha spotted, hinting at an announcement soon – WGB⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can they fix Warcraft 3 while they’re at it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I did it for the original Killing Floor because they had class features locked behind achievements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think it's possible for me to complete this Steam achievement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use certain programs to give yourself achievements. Coulyf be that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dustland Delivery, a post-apocalyptic trading/business/survival game in a narrative rich world, hits their 1.0 milestone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone played it? How is it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Heating just the room will be overall cheaper. However doing the whole house will be overall cheaper per square foot because your room isn’t insulated against other rooms, just to the outside, so you’ll lose a lot of heat to bleed through to other rooms.

  Both are just converting electricity to heat which is already a very efficient process. It’s unlikely one of them is significantly better at that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mail addressed to Mr. and Mrs. (husbands name)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably, in the US the laws vary by state though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mail addressed to Mr. and Mrs. (husbands name)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Where is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky The Cursed Expedition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to like it but every time I try it I bounce off it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvel's Midnight Suns is criminally underrated⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They had a free weekend and I was enjoying it until all of the story stuff back at the base. I typically like that kind of stuff but there was way too much of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technotopia, a city builder with card selection and roguelite mechanics and a Bioshockesque theme, released on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the demo on desktop Linux and it was fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technotopia, a city builder with card selection and roguelite mechanics and a Bioshockesque theme, released on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t care for it. More like a turn-based puzzle game than a city builder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Worshippers of Cthulhum, a Lovercraftian themed town builder where you play the bad guys, released in early access on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an Anno reskin, but a fairly good one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh neat. I go through bread really slowly and often end up throwing a lot of it out whenever I buy some. That could work well for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The pizza vending machine is in a hotel a block away from a larger physical location by for the same company. So similar arrangement. Probably easy for them to maintain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windblown Early Access Release Date Trailer (Oct 14)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Killed future updates that were being done by a different developer because they thought it would compete with this game.
