Because, like many, you can’t remember the name of that game, but just about everyone knows about Palworld.
- Comment on What are your favorite racing games? 1 week ago:
I generally hate racing games. The one I do remember playing a lot was 1990’s Stunts. It was an early polygonal game. You could make your own tracks. It’s was pretty ahead of its time.

Look up an old newspaper from say 100-120 years ago and check out the obituaries.
- Comment on Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More 2 weeks ago:
I have an XBox 360 controller lying around that still works great. I have a couple DS4s that still work great even though the rubber stared coming off the analog sticks. The one Dualsense I bought crapped out after a single year of moderate use.
- Comment on Pavlov 2 weeks ago:
Is Pavlova a national Australian treasure or something? Wikipedia seems unsure as to whether it originated in New Zealand or Australia.
- Comment on Pavlov 3 weeks ago:
My daughter was watching Bluey the other day, and Bingo wanted some “Pavlova”. I immediately thought it was some reference to them all being dogs and Pavlov.
Nope. Turns out it’s actually a dessert named after a Russian ballerina that originated in either New Zealand or Australia in the early 20th century.

I cheated and looked up a map of Europe, and that country is named “Russia”. Haha!

Accuracy is important. Precision, too. Don’t mix them up!
- Comment on That's a big burger 4 weeks ago:
More like hoser.
- Comment on That's a big burger 4 weeks ago:
EDIT: Also I tested and this burger is the same size as a Canadian one dollar coin.
You mean a Loonie.
SMH.
- Comment on Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I might get back to it sometime. It is a mish-mash of so many video game tropes I love. It was just one particular instance where I forced myself through a dungeon as fast as I could, got frustrated with the boss and died a couple of times, finally made it, and wasn’t fast enough to beat the NPC that just completely ticked me off and made me put it down. Those monk trial things really tested my patience for a bit there, too.
- Comment on Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before 4 weeks ago:
Long, long puzzle dungeons that encourage you to race against the NPCs. I hated that mechanic so much, I never finished the game.
- Comment on they keep ruining it but I persist 1 month ago:
I’m taller than most people. I’m always getting a facefull of spider webs. I love spiders, though. Anything that eats mosquitoes gets a pass to mildly inconvenience me now and again.

Bangai Oh! Had custom levels you could load by playing a sound file into the mic on the DS. Wild stuff!
- Comment on When was the last time you made Jello? 2 months ago:
I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was … oh shit… years ago.
- Comment on It's painful to not be able to see everything at once. 2 months ago:
I recently downsized from 2 to 1. NGL, I miss the second in some circumstances, but I also don’t miss the inclination to have YouTube or Netflix constantly open if I’m not using the second for anything else.
- Comment on favourite drink 3 months ago:
Soju is the same thing as what we used to call “fortified” wine like Great White. It lures you in with 20% alcohol being sneaky enough to not immediately buzz you like liquor which then lowers your guard until suddenly you’re black-out drunk singing 80s Nami songs in the nearest noraebang. OH YEONG WON HAN CHINGU! OH HAENGBOK HAN MAEUM!

- Comment on When did a movie misrepresent the country or city you live in? 3 months ago:
Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse is set next to a real life lighthouse in my hometown. I used to go crawl around on the rocks so much so that I recognize some of them in the trailer. I haven’t watched it yet since I don’t find much time for movies anymore. I’m really looking forward to it. Horror movies also happen to be my thing, but my to-watch list is huge at this point.

Daft Punk weren’t really very good songwriters, but they made up for it by being fantastic producers.

I like that the alien has 4 fingers. Fitting!
- Comment on Pills (Take Two) 4 months ago:
Smaller quantities shouldn’t be too hard to sell. 16.5 million worth would definitely be a bit of a logistical problem. I’m sure a bank would help you out with an amount that large.
- Comment on Pills (Take Two) 4 months ago:
Your average shoebox is 3523.513.5 cm, or 11103.75 cubic centimeters. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm^3. You can fit 11103.7519.3 = 214302 grams of gold in a shoebox. One gram of gold right now is $77.78 US. That’s 21430277.78 = over 16.5 million US. There are things significantly more valuable (but not more fungible) than gold, too. The Pi million pill is completely moot. Or just take both, I guess.
- Comment on who's tried it? what does it taste like? 4 months ago:
Radler has recently made its way to Korea. I bought some once not knowing what it was. While drinking, I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting a buzz. I thoroughly checked the can and found out it’s got 2-3% alcohol. Needless to say, I haven’t bought it since.

Haha! Thanks. I don’t know about that. Some of it was actually fun. Recording on a plane was surprisingly cathartic.
- Comment on arthropods 4 months ago:
Sorry to tell you that my particular location is pretty much irrelevant. Centipedes and roaches are just about everywhere. The further north you go, the safer you are.
- Comment on arthropods 4 months ago:
We’ve got some pretty big centipedes around here, and they’re one of very few animals I slaughter ruthlessly without remorse. I have a hammer for the express purpose of braining them. Fuckers don’t need an excuse to bite you, they just do. And, they love bedsheets, clothes, etc. Ironically, we also have house centipedes, and they get a pass. They’re hideous, sure, but anything that eats cockroach eggs (another one I kill without remorse) is A-OK in my book.

It’s great! It’s got two in-app purchases. The mixer is invaluable! I didn’t find much use for the extra time stretching options that came with the other plugin, but that’s probably due to the way I compose. I make loops out of one-shot samples. If you’re sampling entire loops, those are probably quite useful as well. Each plugin is only $5 or so. So $15 for everything Koala Sampler has to offer. Totally worth it!
