- Comment on Will all these multiplayer games being released without support for LAN or hosting our own servers will no longer be playable with others when the company shuts down the servers? 2 weeks ago:
And it still has a thriving competitive scene more than 25 years later.
In fact, ASL (the biggest SC tournament) is going on right now!

What happens when one of these breaks and drains into the sewer system? Algae blooms cause noxious odors and would proliferate quickly in the nitrogen-rich environment of human waste water, potentially building up as clogs in the sewer lines. And if the system drains into a natural body of water, the algae can have devastating toxic effects on the natural wildlife. If it doesn’t drain and instead gets recycled, then the water treatment process becomes much more difficult and expensive.

- Comment on Quit Your Useless Job with Rutger Bregman [1:17:57] 4 weeks ago:
I watched about half of it (which is all I could make time for since I have a ‘useless’ job of my own that limits my time). Maybe that wasn’t enough to understand the point, and if that’s true then my bad for posting a reactionary reply. Oops.
But, if the first half is a representative slice of the whole video, then I don’t think my response is unreasonable. To summarize, the guest runs a non-profit that aims to pay Ivy League grads who have high-prestige “bullshit” jobs to switch careers and go work for NGOs, charitable organizations, etc. (I’m actually a bit confused about this point because he says he wants to pay them, but also acknowledges multiple times that they’ll be taking a pay cut? Maybe he clears that up in the last half, I didn’t know.)
I didn’t go to an Ivy League college. I do have a soul-sucking bullshit job that I only keep because it pays my bills and allows me to support the people who depend on me. I suspect the vast, vast majority of people who interact with this content will either be in the same boat as me, or will be people of even less privilege. In either case, we’re the ones who are gonna be served this video, but we’re not the ones who would ever benefit from this plan. Do you wanna bribe Harvard grads to quit their job at McKinsey and go work for Habitat for Humanity instead? Cool. Great. But the millions of us who don’t have fancy diplomas and six-figure jobs — the people this content is served to — get to continue slaving away and dying inside a little more each day while the most privileged people in our society get to be taken care of while also being given the moral highground? Forgive me, but I don’t really see what problem this is solving. This feels like a vanity project to make rich tech bros and layers feel better about themselves while the system remains fundamentally broken and the same toxic incentives that created this corporate hellscape remain just as toxic and just as incentivizing as ever.

Cool, yeah. While I’m at it, I can get rid of my useless house and stop eating all this useless food. Thank God I don’t have any useless kids — that’ll save me a ton of trouble having to get rid of them too.

Fingers crossed that Rift gets a similar revival… the game whose initial success paid for Defiance in the first place

Escape will make me God
Other than the setting, this was the only reference to the original trilogy that I spotted, and man… the way it’s used here is just so disconnected from what made that line iconic and cool. I was cautiously optimistic before, but the media blitz they did today has completely killed any hope I had for the Marathon IP.

Hades 2 is only console exclusive to the Switch 2; it’s also releasing on Steam.
- Comment on Hades 2 will be a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch 1 month ago:
I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer ‘questionable’ for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

- Comment on After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game 4 months ago:
This was inevitable as soon as games started getting the budgets of blockbuster movies. No one wants to invest that much money into a project without getting some oversight and control in return.
Of course, very, very few people who have access to that kind of cash have any design sense whatsoever, and even fewer understand the creative process, or what makes games “good”… so they ask for shit that they think will be “safe” money-makers, and we get what we get: endless, samey, soulless shlock.

Even in base π, π is still considered an irrational number; using an irrational based doesn’t change the fundamental identity of whole numbers or irrational numbers, it just changes the way we write them.
