  They got a bunch of aid back in the 90s fwiw en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s_North_Korean_famine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even Warcraft 3 was basically a giant retcon of the first 2 games (even as plot light as they were). The series has constantly pulled new stuff out of it’s burr.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen it, was James Bond dead or something so his code name got given away?

  Tbh doesn’t look awful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The level design was crazy repetitive and the run animation (which, being a 3rd person game you watch a my) was laughable.

  The combat was pretty solid and the story and cutscenes tied in directly with the movies which was cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought they were treating that as non-canon, and did that because Lawrence is old and fat now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are computer chips designed?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And the first ones would have been done using more primitive computers, and those by hand. There’s indeed a whole bootstrapping program here where you need the tech to make the tech. You see this with other tech like compliers where new versions of compilers are compiled using the old versions of the same compilers…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like 10 development years worth of additional content. There’s not many games that get that much post release dev time without a valid monetization strategy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there really no stupid questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, such amazing content we’re going to list /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there really no stupid questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately there are a lot of stupid questions here because they didn’t actually fit the theme of “something you’re kind of embarrassed to ask”. A lot of them, like this one, aren’t even actually questions - they’re just thinly veiled rants

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”

  Dude just wasn’t very smart

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bird watching is still a popular hobby

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remedy CEO Tero Virtala steps down after nine years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still hoping Alan Wake 2 will end up on Steam some day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remedy CEO Tero Virtala steps down after nine years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to have gotten a pretty mediocre reception in a crowded market space prone to “winner takes all”, so flopped pretty hard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any swifties here to verify this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in my day we only had music about wholesome topics like giving women jewelry (“she want a pearl necklace”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I cognitively performing less than I could've been if I hadn't drunk alcohol at that age?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, doesn’t matter because you can’t change the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bilewater boss isn’t that hard once you realize you can stand in the water and spam ranged attacks at him. The arena fight preceding him is harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I installed one that gives me 1000 rosaries when I press f3. I came to the conclusion that being able to buy things was more about grinding than anything else, and I didn’t enjoy it.

  Technically cheating I guess but I don’t think it really makes the game any easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The board who determines their pay for a public company. For a private company whoever owns the company - if that’s the CEO then maybe they’d implement the AI CEO then just retire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: EA is going private.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’ll remove the gambling. Probably not but it would be good if they did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun yet unknown gameplay MECHANICS? (POLL)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …wikipedia.org/…/Dynamic_game_difficulty_balancin…

  Apparently it’s more common than I realized. Most games doing it apparently don’t tell you it’s happening. For example I played RE4 when it was new and had no idea it had dynamic difficulty.

  I’ve only ever seen this at Walmart

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have, I think ignorance of a niche android setting is far more likely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re much more likely ignorant to this than malicious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My android doesn’t seem to do that.

  Literal shit post. This is a stupid question, get out of here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senators Press Amazon’s Bezos on Unfair Scheduling Practices Hurting Workers: Amazon’s “just-in-time” scheduling leaves hourly workers with volatile schedules, uncertain paychecks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shouldn’t they be going to the current CEO? This would be like complaining about Microsoft to Bill Gates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When real life generates the shitpost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude hasn’t been relevant since the 90s. Who cares what he thinks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People hated immigrants DURING the time period you’re thinking of. And it wasn’t always a skin color thing either, the Irish were one of the big targets for a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nvidia helped but 3DFX released a couple of bad products in a row.
