Wasn’t Worf always a pipe dream.
Michael Dorn kept pitching it, but it was never going to happen.
- Comment on Thanks I hate it 4 days ago:
I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, “Yes, that’s part of your job.”
- Comment on The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology 4 days ago:
A phantom will absolutely break skin. I flew one for years.
Lots of newer drones like the Mavic series have folding props that won’t break skin, but those fixed-blade props were like getting hit with a weed-whacker.
- Comment on The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology 4 days ago:
The Mavic series has folding blades. But the Phantom series pictured has rigid blades that are stiff enough they’ll fuck up flesh.
- Comment on The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology 4 days ago:
They can cut the shit out of you. They won’t sever a finger or anything with the stock props (some aftermarket carbon fiber stuff might though), but they’ll fuck up flesh.

But now the API-based tool i used no longer functions
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 4 days ago:
I used a tool to overwrite mine right before the API bullshit went into effect, but searching for my account, it appears they were all restored.
- Comment on Secret of evermore has some gigeresque visuals. I should probably attempt to finish the game but here are some screenshots 4 days ago:
That tiger in SoM is so awful.

The alchemy system is really unique.
- Comment on This is WAR. 6 days ago:
As a percentage, forklifts always way more incidents, and the incidents they can cause are BAD.
An F-150 isn’t gonna make a warehouse’s worth of product domino onto workers because someone leaned on the wrong lever.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption 2 was amazing. 1 week ago:
It’s also a very long campaign with several points that feel like they’re coming up on the ending, only for a lot more game and story to come afterward.
- Comment on Octopath Traveler 0 – Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
I never finished the 1st one because I found the complete lack of connection between the stories frustrating. I get that they wanted you to be able to play with any combination of the 8 characters, but the story suffered heavily.
It was just 8 separate games played at once with the same mechanics, and the lack of any real overarching story meant the narative scope of everything felt small.
- Comment on Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be 2 weeks ago:
That’s eerily similar to what I grew up with. Like: “are you my sibling, and is that actually my old house”-level similar.

HK-47 is one of the best RPG companions of all time.

And I don’t give cash to anonymous people online. I only use cash in-person for immediate services or products.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 weeks ago:
If it was used as an actual currency instead of an investment vehicle for speculators, that would help.
It also has zero protection from scams and fraud.
- Comment on Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA 2 weeks ago:
Americans can’t sign it, but the law would absolutely benefit American gamers.
If they have to do the legwork to leave the games in a playable state or pass it to the community, American gamers will be able to participate.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 3 weeks ago:
For plastics, pretty much. The thing about plastic recycling is that it’s more expensive that making new plastic, and the recycled stuff is lower quality and unsuitable for many uses.
Metal.recycling, especially aluminum, makes economic sense and does better.
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows 3 weeks ago:
Back in 2006/2007, it wasn’t a terrible idea. I actually used it a bit after I dropped cable in college to buy shows that I wanted to watch.
- Comment on Personal Responsibility 3 weeks ago:
I have seen a divorce caused by the presence of a kid.
Coworker and her husband adopted a teenager who had issues. He started physically assaulting my coworker and she didn’t feel safe in the house and wanted the kid gone. Husband said they’d made a promise to care for and love him. In the end, he chose the kid over his wife and they ended up divorced.
Also - I first heard this story from her when she had a breakdown about it on my first day at the job when I went to ask for the key to the supply closet.
- Comment on captchas like these that don't tell you which part of the text you're supposed to input 3 weeks ago:
I deal with this a lot since I do most of my browsing through a VPN.
As great as VPNs are, there probably are a lot of bad actors using them and sometimes I’m the next person using that IP.

You should watch Jon Stewart’s monologue from yesterday.

You want to hear about a game to play?
Clair Obscur. Made from former Ubisoft team members in what sounds like a healthy development culture and it’s a godamnned masterpiece at every level. Visuals, art direction, story, characters, mechanics, music - it’s all stellar.

Not everyone can live in California wine country.
Most people live where it gets either dangerously hot or dangerously cold for large portions of the year.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 4 weeks ago:
Because I live in Texas and being outside in the summer for extended periods is dangerous.
- Comment on Anon describes apple's practices 4 weeks ago:
They admitted they intentionally slowed down old phones with iOS updates.
The thing with smartphones is that they’re already good enough. Almost every app is designed to work on a 5yo phone that cost 100 bucks when it was new, so having 16 times the processing power isn’t really useful unless it results in better battery life.
- Comment on Genius 5 weeks ago:
Unless you have an older machine, probably the Coke guy.
Coke wants to control what drinks are in the machine and what percentage of the take Coke gets, so they refill the machines.
We used to have an older machine on an old contract, and since we didn’t really care about the income from it we let Coke swap it for a new one they’d service.
About 2 months later, they said we weren’t selling enough drinks and took the new machine away.
- Comment on Genius 5 weeks ago:
Coca-Cola owns the machines, btw.
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 5 weeks ago:
Buying studios wasn’t stupid.
Doing it and putting all their products on a subscription service is.
- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 5 weeks ago:
They know they’ve destroyed the planet, so why bother planning for a future they’ve already prevented.
