That’s a good point. You couldn’t have someone like Shaq with a 3 foot sword. It would look too tiny! Gotta size it proportionally.

True! I would assume a larger person would be able to give up more at once, too.
- Comment on Major ChatGPT-4o update allows audio-video talks with an “emotional” AI chatbot 3 days ago:
This looks…well amazing but also horrifying. When they showed of GPT assisting with math equations, it made me think of how much better I would be at math if I had an assistant like that growing up.
It also makes me think about how there are going to be so many scams and fraud in the future. It’s already starting, and it’s only going to get worse. I’m sure I’ll be duped by something like this in the future.
Also, people are going to totally be marrying gpt bots in the future lol.

- Comment on Iron 3 days ago:
I was curious how long it would take to make a sword out of your own blood. If my math was correct(it probably isn’t lol) the human body contains around 4.7 to 5.5 liters. And then you can apparently donate like 470 millileters every 8 weeks.
So take 4.7(assuming the smallest people) X 300 = 1410 L total blood
1410(total needed) / 0.47(donation amount) = 3000 donations X 8 weeks = 24,000 / 52 = 461.54 years

Interesting! I might just have to try it again then. Perhaps I will have better luck this time
- Comment on Animal Well - Review Thread 1 week ago:
Some described it as metroid meets Outer wilds. Now I’m curious and might take a look. I’m not huge on sidescrollers, but it sounds interesting.
From the scores It looks like Animal Well is doing well.
I’ll see myself out
- Comment on Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking 1 week ago:
I’m terrified that one day, I’ll be forced back into the office. I think I’ve gotten extremely lucky so far. I know 100% I would not have made it through the past couple years if I was in the office. We have personal offices, which is a step up from cubicles, but it’s 4 white walls and no natural sunlight. In the winter I saw sunlight for maybe 10 minutes total a day if I was lucky.
I just don’t think people are meant to be working the way our current societies do. Conditions should be improved across the board for every industry regardless if you are doing white collar or blue collar work. Our lives are too short to be wasted making other people rich.

High five. Completely agree lol. I can honestly think of thirty years or more of other activities, hobbies and opportunities that I would actively rather pursue over a paycheck.

Ohh that’s interesting. I found the anniversary edition to be quite a poor adaptation as well. I’m curious how the lost chapters plays on PC. I never got to play that additional content

How did you get Diablo 2 to run properly? I haven’t had much luck getting it to run in windows 10
- Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld 2 weeks ago:
That would be really interesting. Heck I would even just take people making more games with the gba’s restrictions. I’ve always thought it’s super interesting. As developers get used to working with a console or system, we end up rolling into the next generation.
I sometimes wonder what we would see if older consoles had another 7 years of life added to them. I try not to think about it too hard or I get kinda sad about the games we’ll never see lol

Yeahhh that’s the main issue for me. I’ve stuck with android for the past decade. I didn’t know about dragon fly! It’s not as cute but it’s going to do the trick. Thank you!

I’ve heard really good things about it. I think it’s on ganepass right now so I should probably give it a go
- Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld 2 weeks ago:
I find I very rarely use it as a handheld. I find it kind of heavy and awkward to hold after longer periods of time. I kinda wish Nintendo made another 3ds lol
- Comment on Why do mobile games suck nowadays? 2 weeks ago:
I was wondering this recently, too. The two mobile games I miss most are tiny wings and the original fruit Ninja. But I remember playing Infinity Blade and other random games on my iPad touch that were really good back in 2010
I came across buried bornes 2, and it’s been ok so far. I have no idea if it has microtransactions or ads yet. It claims it does, but I’ve yet to see them. It’s not the best game I’ve played, but the concept is kinda interesting if you use your imagination a bit.
- Comment on Alan Wake II Has yet to Recoup Development and Marketing Expenses; Tencent Raised Stakes in Remedy to 14% 2 weeks ago:
This made me realize I haven’t played it yet. I looked up the sales prices and realized why. It hasn’t really gone on sale for a price that I would be comfortable paying.
- Comment on What is your favourite game console? 2 weeks ago:
I have no idea if they hold up today, but I really enjoyed Zombies ate my neighbors, Mickey Mania, World of Illusion (another mickey mouse game), and Taz Mania.
- Comment on What is your favourite game console? 2 weeks ago:
This is a really hard question for me to answer. So I’m going to go with a bit of a catch-all.
I really like the GBA. But the DS can play DS and GBA titles. But the 3DS is great too and can play all 3 and then some.
I guess the 3DS. There’s just so much that can be packed into it. I haven’t played mine in a while. I wish it was easier to install a capture card in them. There was something special about the games from the GBA to 3DS. The limitations of the hardware had developers experimenting, and we ended up with so many interesting titles. If you factor in the couple n64 games ported over to the 3DS, it’s just so much nostalgia in one handheld.
If I had to go with a runner-up, I think it would be my series X. Being able to play so many backward compatible games is also super nice.
If I truly had to pick single consoles only, with only the games designed for that specific console. I would probably go with the 3ds and the xbox 360. The 3DO or Dreamcast would come after as they had so many unique titles.
- Comment on Palestinian Relief Bundle - Itch.io 3 weeks ago:
I was curious, so I looked through to see games I at least know of/have seen before.
A short hike (I liked it, it’s definitely worth playing)
Wandersong
Bleed 2
Coffee talk (played a bit of it, An interesting visual novel)
Fetum betula(I REALLY liked it. This is worth the price of the bundle alone, in my opinion. It’s not super long, but it’s creepy/unsettling)
Anodyne(I didn’t finish this one, but I enjoyed it enough. It seemed to have good reviews)
- Comment on Why are there two different genres both called ARPG? 3 weeks ago:
I always referred to Diablo as an isometric RPG. At the end of the day, language is weird, and as long as we’re able to clearly get our point across to another person and have them understand, I think that’s all that matters. But it’s fun to think about
- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 3 weeks ago:
So far, there have been two interesting uses I’ve seen for chat gpt.
One is I’ve used it to help me write regular expressions in the very rare time I need to for my job.
The other is kind of cool but also kind of troubling in a way. But I’ve come across a couple of therapy style chat bots that are essentially just reading off a list of “here’s what to do for XYZ”
I’ve tested them a bit, and I’ve found I’m 1) concerned who gets access to the information shared. 2) If/when these kinds of bots will be used to manipulate people in a negative way. 3)The possibility of a bot replying in a bad way that could make an issue worse for someone
Overall, I like the idea of them. Most of the answers given seem extremely standard. However, I find it’s hard to process information if it’s coming directly from myself, or accept compassion from myself. So funny enough, these chat bots actually work really well in that respect.
In some cases, I’ve had better discussions than I have had with actual therapists, which is funny but also sad.
So while there’s some troubling possibilities, I think there’s a lot of positives that I’ve seen from my time with it.

I’m really emotionally and mentally exhausted. But what you just wrote makes me think you are my spirit animal. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s nice to see that other people are identifying a major issue and care about it.

You’ve just reminded me that I’ve wanted to try both ghostwire and lies of P on gamepass! I’m always so terrible and managing my time lol. I wish there was a calendar so we could see months in advance when a game will leave the service. It’s not so bad with short games. But the longer RPG’s are tough to finish in a month if you discover they’re leaving!
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 14th 4 weeks ago:
I’m getting super close to finishing cyberpunk 2077. I said that last week when I was at like 80 or so hours. But uhh 100 hours in now and I swear I’m really close this time lol.
I really wish they hadn’t released the game so early and hadn’t released so much advertising hype about the game. If the game released in a functional state I think it would have had the complete opposite reception.
If they were to have released the game this January or something and only advertised what is actually in the game, people would likely be praising it left and right. I thought the writing and quest design was a breath of fresh air. I loved how the game gave you agency to make your own decisions and made you think about the implications of all of your actions. Even if many of the decisions didn’t directly matter in the grand scheme of things, it allowed you to roleplay and at least feel like you were staying true to how your character would react in different situations.
I liked how there were so many twists and turns during the quests. Overall it felt like I was playing a completely different game compared to the couple hours I had tried at launch.

And we thought identity theft was shitty before. I hope that we’ll have better tools to identify AI voices in the future. In some cases right now I have a hard time telling between an actual person and a faked voice.
