- Comment on power generator 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s a super rad tech! A bit pricey but a neat renewable that almost generates opposite to solar in a way, in that if it’s raining you’re getting some energy in the form of fresh water
Can you ELI10 an intuitive explanation on why the salinity gradient provides energy? It doesn’t make intuitive sense to me and never has. Like why is fresh water mixing with salt water energy positive?

I’m known to lather a bit, as a treat.

I’m an EE by schooling and I’ve worked in both gas turbine and wind power. Photovoltaics blow my fucking mind. Everything else is just spinning magnets to extract power. PVs are insanely cool

- Comment on Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles 3 weeks ago:
Seems like the financial people at Microsoft are tired of taking “but it’s the future!” As an end all be all answer.
Between this and copilot switching to token based billing, they’re the first company to seem to really be looking at how bad the financials are

It kinda means (to me, a layman) that the accidentals are little but the angry is big
- Comment on Shapez 2 - 1.0 Launch Trailer 5 weeks ago:
And the SCALE of it. It even makes my group Factorio Space Age server feel small, and that’s 14k promethium SPM.
- Comment on Shapez 2 - 1.0 Launch Trailer 5 weeks ago:
I played a ton of pre-1.0. It’s SO good. What an astronomical leap from Shapez 1.
I’m stoked to dig into 1.0 of the sequel, the new mode looks cool
- Comment on Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad? 1 month ago:
Every other company could challenge Steam, but instead is enshittified within an inch of its life from the get-go. It’s as much that Steam is doing so much right as it is that competitors are doing so much wrong.
Not you, GOG.

- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 1 month ago:
Yup. I love the lore and atmosphere, fun in archipelago for randomizing, i like the campaign and co-op modes a lot. But since I won’t give blizzard any money it’s nice that they just gave up on the IP for whatever reason

- Comment on Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post) 2 months ago:
In the US especially. It could be a cardboard box.
- Comment on Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post) 2 months ago:
Since it’s a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren’t related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can.
For example, in the U.S., they’ll receive paid coverage for 6 months. We’ll also accelerate their stock options vesting through January 2027 and extend equity exercise options for up to two years.
As much as I hate Epic, those are both better paragraphs than I expected. I feel for the people getting laid off, hopefully they land on their feet

I can imagine so many options. What was her tag?

- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 3 months ago:
It really does seem to follow the classic arc of going from marketing to consumers to B2B but like, you can’t sell games B2B can you? It’s so direct to consumer

That’s fair and a much better response than mine above. I’m just a bit disenfranchised from it all, especially the non action and non voting suggestions of many on the left.
But you are right, it’s basically a center right and a far right party, and that super sucks and needs to be complained about a lot.
