- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 1 week ago:
The effect of ads is usually not directly linked to a specific product.
If, for example, you need a new box of laundry detergent, you’ll go to the supermarket. There you might find brand A, which you’ve never heard of, or brand B, which had an ad you’ve seen or heard somewhere. Studies have shown you’ll be more likely to buy brand B, because you’ll find it more trustworthy, which is because you’ve heard about it somewhere.
So, a lot of ads aren’t solely about a specific product, but also about making their brand perform better in the long run. Therefore, even if an ad is just making noise on the background, it may still have an effect on you. And, since it’s a subliminal process, it’s extremely difficult to make a concious decision to not buy products you’ve seen or heard ads of.
- Comment on The voice actor of the GMan just posted this promising cryptic HL3 rumor 4 weeks ago:
A lot of people haven’t played HL:Alyx because of the VR requirement… But my goodness it was amazing.
Valve will never release a HL-title before it’s absolutely groundbreaking.

Yeah check out the Cart Narcs on YouTube. Absolutely hilarious content.
- Comment on Planet Coaster 2 : Announcement Trailer 6 months ago:
Planet Coaster 1 certainly wasn’t half-finished. The developers actively listened to the community and constantly made free improvements for years after release.
Sure, it has lots of DLC packs, but none of them are in any way essential.

- Comment on Plastic tea bags 10 months ago:
You definitely shouldn’t be allowed to hide it like that, no. Unfortunately, they can (Dutch source).
The nutritional information does however state that there’s sugar. Even though the ingredient list does not.
- Comment on Plastic tea bags 10 months ago:
Added sugar, that is. A lot of tea bags contain ‘aroma’, according to the ingredient list. However, this ‘aroma’ can be 60-70% sugar.
- Comment on Plastic tea bags 10 months ago:
I can’t really find a source for it, but I remember the EU banning plastic in tea bags quite recently, a few years ago at most. Here in the Netherlands, a lot of tea bags contain(ed) plastic as some kind of sealant.
Also, a lot of tea contains sugar, for no good reason whatsoever.
