- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 3 days ago:
Ataturk famously switched Turkey to a modified Latin alphabet instead of an Arabic-based one in order to boost literacy rates. Convinced with a huge push to educate people on the alphabet it seemed to be successful.
- Comment on FBC: Firebreak Free Weekend + Double XP and Remedy discount on Steam 3 days ago:
The impression I got was more meh than hate?
- Comment on With what's happening to Grok AI (generating nonconsensual images), how do you think AI would be taken care of? (repost!) 6 days ago:
Those things are already illegal, we just need to enforce existing laws
- Comment on Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc? 6 days ago:
There’s a lot they promised that isn’t even in the game now, and frankly is not really possible. They’ve also added a lot that they never promised.
Also some things like coop are still jank
- Comment on I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work? 1 week ago:
Companies can also not be recruiting because the business is stagnant or shrinking fwiw
- Comment on Are you people all bots? 1 week ago:
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
- Comment on Are you people all bots? 1 week ago:
Lemmy’s architecture seems incredibly vulnerable to bots, but I think it’s still so small that no one really cares to.
- Comment on US labor unions gear up to fight against Trump’s ‘Billionaire First’ agenda 1 week ago:
Yeah, the same AFL-CIO that endorsed him? This should be in leopards ate my face
- Comment on A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad 1 week ago:
It sounds like the bigger issue was that the game was bad.
- Comment on Tried to carefully install the faucet immediately after gluing and caulking the sink 2 weeks ago:
Yes, we have that
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 3 weeks ago:
Control the controllable. This axiom also applies to most things in life.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 3 weeks ago:
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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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" 3 weeks 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" 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 5 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).
- Comment on Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' 5 weeks ago:
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’ 5 weeks ago:
Whole new game
- Comment on Tyranny: Recommended starting character with a mind to story, not ease of combat? 1 month ago:
I think magic is pretty fun in the game. It has a novel magic system
- Comment on Control Resonant - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games 1 month 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!" 1 month 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 1 month ago:
More than 30 seconds of actual gameplay footage would have been nice too.
- Comment on Order of the Sinking Star | Official Announcement Trailer 1 month 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 1 month 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.
