Control the controllable. This axiom also applies to most things in life.

I’d never actually watched this before but the advice is perfectly reasonable. They’re talking about if you’re on the periphery of the impact zone to protect against flying debris such as glass mostly, and secondarily against some hot winds. Obviously there are many situations where you’re fucked no matter what, but if you do survive you don’t want a bunch of neck or torso lacerations from flying glass on top of everything else.
- Comment on Are hierarchies inherently bad in all aspects? or are there domains where heirarchies are good to have? 1 day ago:
Imagine trying to coordinate something like food distribution on a national scale without some degree of hierarchy.

Can’t reproduce on Firefox on Android
- Comment on What is the semi back handed hate against Kurds? How come they don't have a country yet being that the PKK is pretty powerful? 4 days ago:
Their claimed territory spans 3 countries, which doesn’t help their separatist movement. Those countries are now incentived to coordinate suppressing their separatism together.
Nations typically don’t like separatist movements from themselves. Maybe there’s more to it for why those countries don’t like the Kurds, but that’s probably plenty by itself.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 5 days ago:
The term originally meant things like free market economies, being able to vote, implementing civil liberties like ending slavery and serfdom.

Modern day it has different meanings depending on which country you’re talking about.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 5 days ago:
Xbox is already dying, they’re in no position to scare developers off.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 5 days ago:
At this rate we won’t be seeing another GTA game after 6 until 2040 anyways
- Comment on Ars Technica’s Top 20 video games of 2025 6 days ago:
Conde Nast bought them in like 2008. Not to say that it’s not their fault, but they’ve owned Ars longer than you’ve been reading it.
- Comment on Ars Technica’s Top 20 video games of 2025 6 days ago:
Boy, you really seem to hate Ars. I consider them one of the better tech publications, though gaming is generally not their wheelhouse.
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 2 weeks ago:
Mostly gig job type things. If you’re in a very low income country something like mturk might not be awful. If you’re not in a low income country then you need to be highly skilled so you can get things like programming or art gigs.
The other option is stuff like stock market trading or crypto (ie gambling).

How do you think a human decides what to sketch? They talk about the requirements.
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 2 weeks ago:
Whole new game
- Comment on Tyranny: Recommended starting character with a mind to story, not ease of combat? 3 weeks ago:
I think magic is pretty fun in the game. It has a novel magic system
- Comment on Control Resonant - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games 3 weeks ago:
A lot of the story only kind of makes sense because it’s deliberately things that are beyond human understanding. You get the story mostly through the eyes of humans who understand most (but not all) of the “what is happening” but almost none of the “how” or “why”.

Would you eat a banana out of the toilet, as long as you peeled it first?
- Comment on "No eating for free allowed! You must only watch it rot on the beach!" 3 weeks ago:
Eating beach bananas sounds like a great way to get some kind of weird illness. It’s not like there’s a nearby banana tree that they could have come from. But maybe I’m just too accustomed to grocery stores
- Comment on Total War: Warhammer 40k 3 weeks ago:
More than 30 seconds of actual gameplay footage would have been nice too.
- Comment on Order of the Sinking Star | Official Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Interesting, I thought it seemed like it failed to make an impact. Perhaps I’m just not the target audience for these anymore.
- Comment on Order of the Sinking Star | Official Announcement Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Meh, does anyone really care after The Witness? Braid was very much in the right place at the right time, but I’m skeptical of his ability to impress today.
The voice acting from the trailer was surprisingly good though - so much that it clashed with the video they were showing.
- Comment on Total War: Warhammer 40k 3 weeks ago:
I’m immensely skeptical of CAs ability to pull off anything modern or futuristic

Calm down, no one is going to steal your precious bodily fluids.

Have these people ever interacted with dogs? I’m pretty sure autism is their baseline.
- Comment on Cheapflation: The Kroger brand "shake and bake" seasoning no longer comes with the bag to shake it in 😠 3 weeks ago:
I’m with this guy. Just buy some seasoning salt or whatever and apply it with some oil. At this point the only advantage they’re giving you is that they’re pre measured portions.

It’s perfect content for this sub because it’s so minor.

AWS has some kind of ground station service. I imagine it’s extensive though
- Comment on 'Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian': Todd Howard invited Obsidian devs onto Fallout season 2's set so they could see New Vegas in the flesh 4 weeks ago:
Basically the only negative things I can say about NV is that they’re really heavy handed with forcing you to go through the map in certain direction/order. Though it still opens up in the second half of the game.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 5 weeks ago:
Valve pays Codeweavers (developers of Wine and Crossover directly).
