  Why are games being submitted for ratings before they’ve even been announced? I thought that was something that happened very late in the process…

  Considering how much shit Bungie ate over this (and rightfully so), I doubt they would’ve gone this route. All it would take is one Twitter post from the artist saying Bungie tried to stiff them again and the whole controversy gets reignited all over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People who enjoy hardcore pvp and extraction shooters are hyped… but the important question is whether or not those people represent a large enough niche to sustain a game with such a massive budget.

  I’m guessing it won’t be, but who knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t remember specific examples (probably because I didn’t stick with any of them very long), but I’ve played several games that don’t even let you touch the options until after you’ve finished some tutorial section… which is especially annoying for players you play with inverted y axis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How To Make Coca Cola...For REAL⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DW:

  The flavor mostly comes from essential plant and spice oils such as nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon, lime, and quite a few others.

  Surprisingly, there seems to be a small amount of vinegar that’s essential to getting the correct flavor.

  There’s also a mandatory heating step that allows the phosphoric acid to “develop” some of the raw flavor compounds from the essential oils into more complex compounds with different flavors.

  In the end, it’s all stuff you can buy yourself. The start-up cost of getting all the ingredients is high, but once you have them you’d basically be set for life and could make your own coke for much cheaper than buying the “real” stuff at the store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Noooo, not even close. There may be some senior devs in AAA studios making bank, but the vast majority of people doing the day-to-day art and development work on games typically get much worse pay and benefits than similar roles in other parts of the tech sphere.

  A lot of people are very passionate about making games, and the games industry heavily exploits that passion to short change its workers. A lot of (mostly young) devs are willing to accept less pay to work on games because they feel like it will be more fulfilling than working on other mindless corporate crap, and those who do get jobs in the industry are afraid to ask for more money or try to unionize because they know there are a dozen equally passionate candidates waiting to replace them for less money if they make too many waves.

  The result is that wages stay lower than other tech jobs and hours worked are much higher. With AI on the rise the problem will no doubt get even worse as execs use it as an excuse to shrink teams and “do more with less”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal Exclusionary Radical Astronomy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not true. The “fatness” of metallic atoms doesn’t even come close to overcoming how rare they are. Hydrogen and helium combined still make up ~98% of the total mass fraction. Oxygen, which is next in line, is only about 1% the total mass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal Exclusionary Radical Astronomy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any good astronomer knows that the real binary is metal/non-metal

  Using an IDE to write code is like using a pie tin to help you make a pie.

  Using generative AI is like going to the local bakery, breaking their window, and stealing the pie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LET IT DIE offline version announced⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never played this game and don’t know anything about it that I didn’t just read in the article… but there’s just something so rad about a game called “Let it Die” having such a graceful end-of-life plan like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same shit every day, on god⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fusion neutrons are able to cause fission in ordinarily non-fissile materials, such as depleted uranium (uranium-238), and these materials have been used in the jackets of thermonuclear weapons.

  Fun(?) fact: something like 50% of the energy output of thermonuclear bombs comes from secondary fission events in the bomb casing triggered by the high energy neutron flux of the fusion reaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the number of NMS updates that are just back-ported features that were created for Light No Fire, I suspect the game loop will be pretty much the same as what we already have in NMS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spongebob big guy pants okay⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it makes sense that multicellularity would be more of a spectrum than a binary condition. If life evolved into it gradually, then it would make sense to find a lot of “intermediate” evolutionary states that don’t feel like they’re distinctly one or the other.
