If you need actual numerators and denominators, there are libraries for that.
- Comment on Guess the game (#008) 2 weeks ago:
I got this game on a 3-in-1 CD, bundled with Sim Isle and the OG Sim City. I already had Sim City, but it was a much older floppy release that, I think, was only in black and white. The Sim City on the CD was in color and came with some extra scenarios and tile sets.
- Comment on Is using an ssd as a cache to speed up a harddrive still a thing? 4 weeks ago:
10-15 years ago, Apple had a product built around this concept, the Fusion Drive. It was one physical device containing both types of storage that appeared to the user as a single drive. The OS would decide what files when on which storage medium based on usage. Unfortunately, it’s been long enough that they went to all SSDs all of the time that Apple is removing support for it in this year’s OS release.
- Comment on Examples of roles where actors from Star Trek give better performances than they did on Star Trek? 4 weeks ago:
Andreas Katsulas had a recurring role as Commander Tomalak on TNG, but he absolutely shone as G’Kar on Babylon 5, especially in later seasons.

With Chinese currency, the smallest coin is ¥0.1, one jiǎo. 0.1 CNY = 0.013 EUR. They may not be familiar with the convention of always writing the hundredths place, even if it’s zero, used with euros or dollars, especially if they’re using Google Translate for the menu.

I kind of cringe at suggesting this, but Genshin Impact is if Breath of the Wild used a gatcha payment model instead of $60 up front.
- Comment on Why do unannounced games keep “leaking” through Korea’s rating site? It turns out there’s a legal issue that makes it almost impossible to avoid 1 month ago:
If you think you’re on the borderline between the local equivalents of M and T, and are willing to revise your content to get a more marketable rating, maybe you submit early? I know that’s a thing for movies in the US, as PG-13 movies can attract a broader audience than R. If the ratings board isn’t looking at the final product, though, can they rate it correctly?

They both have a habit of misgendering people. At least the Sontarans do it because they’re a single-gender spices, rather than spite.

- Comment on Land where 3 months ago:
Russian capsules launch from the Kazack steppe. In the event of a launch abort, like there was in October 2018, you need to have a capsule that can land on land.
American capsules launch from Florida and fly over the ocean. In the event of an abort, they need to be able to land at sea.
They both took their abort modes and just made it the standard way to land after a mission.

In Vermont, at least, there’s a second clue: Standard license plates are green with white print. State cops have dark green plates with yellow writing; town owned vehicles, including police cars, have red & white plates.

- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 4 months ago:
Steam does have an option to hide all of your activity in a certain game, but not to cherry pick certain achievements. I think it’s so you don’t have to broadcast your 235 hours spent 100%ing Kink Simulator to your entire friends list.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 4 months ago:
This is exactly why games have achievements for things like making it through the tutorial, completing Act II, or beating the final boss. It lets devs know how far players get through their games before loosing interest.
