The units don’t really matter as long as you’re okay with your number of kids coming out with units of square root time over length(?)
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 5 days ago:
Sometimes you think you say the right thing, but you didn’t, and you’ll have to live with the consequences. This is a major part of the Witcher games, that your actions have possibly unforeseen consequences that you’ll have to live with.
Accept that Triss has made her choice. If you don’t want to be with Yen, then don’t be with anyone, that’s completely fine.

TBF imaginary time is a math trick and not something that actually progresses. It lets us apply results from statistical physics to quantum field theory through a Wick rotation.

The Quantum journal is doing a pretty good job.
- Comment on Is there a way out? 5 weeks ago:
It’s not a journal though. No editor or peer review process.

Always? I’m currently playing Control on a 4070 Super, and I honestly can’t tell the difference between ray tracing on and off on FPS.
- Comment on Anon fixes their games 1 month ago:
Why is that? If it has no significant impact on FPS, and you enjoy the high fidelity light simulation, then why turn it off?

Humans should be sushi, not ravioli, according to their definition. Or perhaps more like a donut?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
The article mentions them as action RPGs
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
Indeed, as the article writes
Even Skyrim—certainly a weird, ambitious, and janky RPG in its own right—refined and streamlined the formula set by Morrowind and Oblivion, rather than expanding on their eccentricities, and that trend only continued in the studio’s following games.
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 1 month ago:
Hmm, you’re probably going to get a lot of answers assuming you wanted to do secure communication, not secure journaling. Different beasts I would think.

Or maybe they’re perfectly capable of a stable relationship, they just also enjoy casual sex. Maybe even at the same time in a non-monogamous context.

- Comment on James Bond Game by IO-Interactive 2 months ago:
I’ve bought each of the three latest Hitman titles on Steam exactly once at regular video game price and gotten all the content of each game, plus freely received the collection of all that content in the “World of Assassination” consolidation. Plus the free and amazing rogue-like expansion taking place across all maps from all games.
Seems like a really good deal to me.

They’re also very popular in Denmark.
- Comment on Pro-tip for this capitalistic hellscape 4 months ago:
Realistically it’s not feasible to set up separate systems for separate levels of tech knowledge and expect it to not be abused.
Yes, it’s more of a hassle to do proper 2FA, but it helps the grannies of the world not be scammed out of their life savings, ultimately enabling greater digitalisation, which I find extremely helpful.

Isn’t the point to get bacteria off your hands? Isn’t it better to have them in the air than on your hands?
It’s a lot more likely I’ll eat something I touched than something that’s been sitting in bathroom air.

- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #20 - Slay the Princess 6 months ago:
I found the lines poorly written, the narrators not very convincing, and the whole concept limited and simple. It’s likely that something better comes along further into the game, but it really didn’t pull me in.
It always fascinates me that people can have such different experiences. I’m really happy you found your perfect game, wish I could see it like you see it!
- Comment on Mask Quest - A Platformer Where You Have to Manually Breathe. Survive a Pandemic Lockdown, Escape Police Brutality, and Find a Surgical Mask. 6 months ago:
I’m somewhat nostalgic about parts of it. It clearly had a much wider impact on society than the AIDS outbreaks, and many people didn’t end up with anyone close to then dying or with any serious long term effects.
To lots of people it was just a time of staying home and trying to work that out. At least in the parts of the world I was.

- Comment on Steam Families is out of beta, letting you share games with up to five others 7 months ago:
I’ve bee on the beta for a while now, and I still haven’t encountered a game that couldn’t be shared like this. I played Cyberpunk 2077 through Steam Family.

What on earth are you talking about?
There’s nothing easier than just explicitly checking in whether you’ve read the signals correctly or not before making any creepy moves.
Tip #1 for flirting: Make sure that the other person has a very easy way out of anything they might not like. Then you know they’re enthusiastically consenting for whatever comes next.
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 7 months ago:
I quite liked the vibe, but got frustrated about the artificial progress blocks. If you’re a competent deck builder it’s pretty easy to build a deck that beats the game master, but then you get to a point where he just throws infinite enemies at you and you are forced to lose.
I get it, the gameplay requires you to lose a number of times, but it just turned me off from finishing the game.
