- Comment on Captain Disillusion: SNL VFX Mystery 1 day ago:
He is genuinely amazing at his craft and has some really informative material. This specific video isn’t a great example but some are much funnier too.

Sub now. Captain D is amazing.

“That guy just made millions of dollars playing the lottery. We should quit our jobs and play the lottery too!”

You didn’t have to hurt all of us olds that bad.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 6 days ago:
They’re private groups that do the ratings but ESRB is enforced by laws in some Canadian provinces for instance and PEGI is enforced by law in some European countries. They do have a de facto authority in those places as a publisher can’t just decide to disregard their ratings and sell to minors anyway or something.
- Comment on McConnell Defends Polio Vaccine, an Apparent Warning to RFK Jr. 1 week ago:
His old-ass lived it. Mitch McConnell being right about something wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
Check again…it was a publicity stunt.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 week ago:
It seems that it’s most likely an out-of-touch marketing stunt. The company, Yes Madam, is apparently launching some sort of corporate wellness program type thing so they are likely going to pivot this publicity into “Treating employees like that would be awful right?! But companies do have stressed employees and should take care of them with…blah”.
I hope it fully backfires and they go out of business.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
I think if they catch him they sort of have to. It’s up to the police to drag their heels investigating if they want to avoid that.
It will be interesting to see if jury nullification comes into play if he gets caught and there is a trial. Would at least 1/12 jurors refuse to convict despite the law? The main facebook post about the CEO’s death has a 26-1 ratio of laughing emoji to crying emoji…
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
I have a backlog of great games to play so long that I’m seeing remasters of some games on the list come out before I’ve played them a first time. I have no problem waiting for games to come to a different platform and go on sale.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release 5 weeks ago:
Half Life 2 still holds up really well, honestly better than a ton of modern first person shooters. The only places it’s lacking from a non-technical aspect is enemy variety. If valve did a remake just updating the graphics and gun play that would be my only knock on it and that says a lot for a 20 year old game.
- Comment on LGR is postponed a while. But I’m safe! 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months 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 Amazon orders workers to return to the office five days a week 2 months 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 3 months 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.
- Comment on In 2019, Microsoft tried a 4-day workweek in Japan. Productivity jumped 40% 4 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.

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... 4 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... 4 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 4 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”.

- Comment on Cursed wretched marketing 5 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.
