- Comment on LGR is postponed a while. But I’m safe! 4 weeks ago:
Poor LGR, first the Sims 4 and now this.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 5 weeks ago:
You had me in the first half, ngl
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 5 weeks ago:
I’m so glad I quit consoles. Now I’m just rooting for steam to get every game running perfectly in linux so we don’t have to deal with Windows either.

Some of us like linux and want to deal with it…

- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 5 weeks ago:
No, most of this is untrue. Ex Presidents can refuse secret service detail. They are allowed to drive on public roads - that is a secret service rule that they can’t but it’s not against the law and Presidents don’t have to follow those rules. And they are allowed to live outside the US if a host country allows them.
- Comment on 'Melts our frozen-solid hearts': Frostpunk 2 devs celebrate 350,000 copies sold—covering the production and marketing costs 5 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s probably it. I haven’t seen Snowpiercer and was mixing the two up.

For some reason I always thought it was an fps that takes place on trains…I’ll check it out now because I like city builders.
- Comment on Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower 1 month ago:
I can admit I delay work more from home than I did when I was at the office. I do about the same amount overall I just don’t get around to it as quickly.
But the company I’m with would also have to pay me 20-30% more to go into the office as I have better offers for that already and I’d still probably just hop to another company that lets me work from home for a similar salary.
- Comment on Amazon orders workers to return to the office five days a week 1 month ago:
The same thing as layoffs and downsizing but you only lose the people who are really good at what they do and can get jobs easily elsewhere. What a brilliant idea.
- Comment on What Ticketmaster Doesn't Want You To Know: Concerts Were Cheap For Decades 1 month ago:
Yup, I don’t go to any price gouged concerts period. I can afford it but I refuse on principle because more than $50 just isn’t worth it for me to see any artist so I mostly just see moderately big names when they play open stages at festivals. On the other hand traditionally “high class” music like symphony orchestras still have tickets in the $20 dollar range.

Whoa this youtube doc about his special is hilarious though. At least something good came out of it.
- Comment on In 2019, Microsoft tried a 4-day workweek in Japan. Productivity jumped 40% 2 months ago:
I mean for some AI at least it was directly trained on material from random internet people. I deserve money from any chatgpt work because I made a lot of Reddit comments.
- Comment on On Bears 2 months ago:
I’ve actually heard that with black bears the best method is to ditch it in central park with a bicycle.
- Comment on I definitely never unsubscribed from a YouTube channel just for that... 2 months ago:
Tell that to conventional current vs electron flow. Science is ever updating with new information and the words we use to describe it will change over time as well, but I get what you mean. Prescriptive linguistics especially in formal settings like scientific writing is helpful for clear communication.
- Comment on I definitely never unsubscribed from a YouTube channel just for that... 2 months ago:
Descriptive linguists unite! Words evolve and that’s okay. Really science should pivot away and start calling more proven theories a different word if they’re upset about the confusion.
The etymology of the word theory comes from meaning more in line with “to look at or speculate” so even in that sense science kind of hijacked a word that was less inline with the modern scientific understanding of the word “theory” and descriptively transformed it themselves for use in their community. And that’s okay too.
- Comment on Science is Magic 2 months ago:
I always like the comparisons to how magical our world would seem to someone in an alternate reality where transistors or maybe even electricity wasn’t a thing.
Like you can dumb it down to really magical sounding things like calling a cpu “runes etched in sand”.

Looking at you hitman…
- Comment on Cursed wretched marketing 3 months ago:
White light has red in it. Cyan does not. We fatigue blue and green cones everywhere but the white can, and we only stimulate the red cones on the white can. The result is it looks red.
