They’re efficient and have no sense of humor
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 week ago:
I do basically only play indie games sans like, 2-3 Nintendo games per console generation. but yeah, sure feels like you get it all in the worst way
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 week ago:
Okay, fair enough. Just appreciating the lack of shit and (for something like an Animal Crossing or a BoTW quality Zelda game) I’m super happy to pay that much for a game I’ll sink hundreds of hours into, and I’d rather reward that price hike than any other form of monetization by them.
I’m real enraged by like 99% of things on the internet and in the world these days, but this pales in comparison to the rapid pace of enshittification I feel like I’ve had in virtually every other place in my life.
Still don’t love it.

Okay, here’s a slightly hot take.
I’d rather the price go up and the games remain ad free and high quality (not you, pokemon, you can get fucked) than become enshittified with micro transactions, ads, etc
I don’t like it. But it’s much more acceptable to me
- Comment on Other than Canada and Australia, which countries are best alternatives to traveling to the USA? 1 week ago:
I live in Denmark. I’ve met a few people who don’t speak any English but they’re not Danish :D
Also it’s a fun language learning trope here that it’s hard to practice because people will just reply in English if your pronunciation isn’t good/it’s obvious you’re not Danish. It’s not ubiquitous but it definitely exists sometimes
- Comment on Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k? 2 weeks ago:
All I have to add is be careful investing in a Roth if you plan to leave the US. Some countries don’t acknowledge it as a retirement vessel and tldr it’s a pretty bad investment if that’s the case
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 2 weeks ago:
Cash travels, sell your non -heirloom stuff.
Doesn’t need to be a lawyer, relocation companies are amazing at this stuff. They can help with taxes, government registration, all of it

What’s wrong with “25 over 3?” I see the need for half 4 by itself but things being relative to that is so weird to me
- Comment on Fucking hell 4 weeks ago:
Ugh okay here’s another “Danes shouldn’t be allowed to make number stuff”:
The time 15:25 is “five minutes before half 4”
“Fem minutter i halv fire”
So you round up to 16 before even halfway, what!?
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 5 weeks ago:
The cool part is you can double and triple dip. Buy bitcoin, promise to make a US Crypto reserve, sell it during the boon, make your own memecoin and profit off that as well
Then maybe do it again when you maybe waste money on a Crypto reserve

Jesus.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 5 weeks ago:
That’s very true. Bots once/twice removed? Like bots influencing the people posting here?
I can’t imagine you get to that conclusion alone
- Comment on fuck this asshole 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s totally fair. I mean, I guess it’s just a bot once removed, bots influencing your friend to swing to fascism
- Comment on fuck this asshole 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how many of those were Russian bots

I mean if the weather is TERRIBLE or I had a lot to carry I would consider a bus for the ~2 stops that is
- Comment on What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked? 1 month ago:
I’ve had a false positive walking around the other day. False positive is no big deal of course, but it’s interesting that I’m seeing a post about it now

- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 1 month ago:
I didn’t realize there was AdGuard available. Is it an extension or like a standalone app running in the background?
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 1 month ago:
It’s the opposite. On Android I have an adblocker. On my work iphone I have to raw dog the internet
- Comment on i'm gonna need directions 1 month ago:
You’re right, according to online calcs. But man I can’t remember how to count these myself.
Wanna explain for someone who didn’t have to do much chemistry?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 1 month ago:
I think the ideal argument is both. Have a grid that’s (at least vast majority) green, and work towards using said green energy to recapture some CO2

My friends and I loved your demo and can’t wait to play the whole release

I love FFT ad FFTA but come on, give us a new one sometime. We’ve had like 10 remakes and ports of FFT

He probably couldn’t explain it well if he didn’t know how to code at all imo
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of Feb 2nd 2 months ago:
We do a lot of archipelago (A9O as we call it, cuz it’s shorter to write and there’s 9 letters between… Hoping it catches on).
Factorio is a staple in it. Minecraft too!

Denmark checking in, it was like $3 USD for 10 eggs yesterday, and Denmark isn’t cheap
- Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires? 2 months ago:
Well there’s lots of ways to measure speed. Some use a worm gear in the transmission, some use a sensor on the wheel hub. But all of them take tire diameter into account, unless you count like GPS, which afaik (though probably some really shitty privacy invading car may prove me wrong) isn’t a thing for speedometers and odometers
So yes, all production cars, I believe.
- Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires? 2 months ago:
You’re absolutely right!
I don’t know of a single car that it wouldn’t affect, but there could be some using a gps speed instead? Sounds like a bad idea to me
