This is the answer. If you flick as much water off your hands as possible into the sink first, it takes like 10 seconds
- Comment on Necesse Version 1.0 | Launch Trailer 20 hours ago:
I played this game last year and enjoyed it. Might have to give it another spin
- Comment on Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three? 1 day ago:
I didn’t realize nigrig was (really fuckin obviously) racist until way late in life because the people I heard use it weren’t outwardly racist and pronounced it like “ne-grigged”
- Comment on No, commuters of Bus Bound's Steam Next Fest demo, I will not stop publicly transporting you to the scene of accidents 3 days ago:
Yeah, I didn’t have any issues with them until recently when every other outlet started copying it and they seemingly cranked it to 11 in response. They’d work great as taglines but I prefer descriptive titles so I don’t have to “figure out” the topic. Feels antithetical to the purpose of a headline
- Comment on No, commuters of Bus Bound's Steam Next Fest demo, I will not stop publicly transporting you to the scene of accidents 3 days ago:
I wish they DID trademark it so half the gaming news websites didn’t follow suit
It feels very…corporate. Forced casual

Why can’t RPS write a normal headline for once
- Comment on Do deaf people know they have a deaf accent when speaking? 4 days ago:
I would say that any deaf-from-birth person who ever regularly interacted with hearing people would know they sound a certain way
- Comment on Trump Classifies “Anti-Capitalism” as a Political Pre-Crime 1 week ago:
My friend and I have been saying for years that we don’t wish death upon him, we wish utter humiliation. We want him to trip and shit himself while he’s walking on stage in full view of the cameras and audience.
On his death bed, he will believe he’s dying with dignity. But if he rips his Depends on stage, he’s gonna lose his mind.

- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 1 week ago:
Whole lot of really serious replies but I think it’d be better to spin your original statement as a joke/exaggeration/misinterpretation"
“I love my job but let’s be real - if I didn’t have bills to pay, I’d be chilling on a beach instead!”
“I love working here - but my role specifically. I’m very happy in my position and don’t see myself as CEO one day or anything.”
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 2 weeks ago:
Got any workshop recommendations? I tried a few right after beating the game but found them lackluster. I’m guessing there’s a lot more now
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 2 weeks ago:
Each level has multiple things to steal/destroy but once you pick up/destroy the first thing, the alarm goes off and a timer starts.
The gameplay is mostly setting up the heist. You break holes in walls, build bridges, set up chain reactions, etc to find a route that picks up everything and escape in time. You have limited ammo but you get unlimited spray paint to mark the path for yourself
I know some people hate it but my only complaint is that some of the DLC is pretty meh. Base game is a blast, though!
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 2 weeks ago:
I feel the same way but mainly I don’t like playing “wait and think” games online because of the pressure
Teardown is a fun single player heist game, not that you asked for suggestions. Kind of want to play it again now hmmm…

You should put this in a writing community instead, questions like this aren’t really what this com is for
- Comment on Costco Confirms It's Removed Xbox Consoles, Calling It A "Business Decision" 3 weeks ago:
My friend’s dad owns a business (trade work, not even selling products) that has contracts with both Costco and Amazon and said the same thing. For Amazon at least, he can’t send proposals or bills - everything is done through an Amazon vendor portal. And he gets paid every time he crosses a threshold, not per job.
When you’re that big, you can just make everyone follow your rules.
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 3 weeks ago:
That’s a good point, too!
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 3 weeks ago:
Not only is it still running on private servers, those private servers have the blessing of the original devs. If I’m remembering correctly, they even provided the admins some dev tools and code
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but I’d wager there’s a huge portion of chrome users who got there through the same tactic that Microsoft is deploying here - if you to go the world’s most popular search engine on a non-Chrome browser, it tells you that you should be running Chrome and provides a download link
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 3 weeks ago:
Hey now, I wasn’t ignoring anyone. The truth is somewhere between “all installs were deliberate” and “most installs were accidental”
Several coworkers user Edge because the computer said to use Edge and a computer wouldn’t lie.
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, the claim that every single user deliberately installed chrome has the same citation lol
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 4 weeks ago:
I was moreso asking about the values that used to (but no longer) exist in the republican party as the main change I see is the willingness to let the mask slip.
Though I am still confused why you consider yourself a conservative when you support all those progressive ideas! I am not a conservative but we seem to agree on a whole lot
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 4 weeks ago:
I hadn’t considered the Electoral College thing so I’ll give you that…but the rest of the list, aside from the supreme court thing which is non-partisan, are things conservatives (famously) fought against.
Are you sure you’re conservative? If you really hold those ideals, I think you might actually be progressive…
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 4 weeks ago:
The only thing to do is push back, and try to save what can be saved.
Not trying to bait here but what do you want to save and how far back are you going to find something worth saving? Some aspects of fiscal conservatism have their merits but I’m stumped thinking of any good socially-conservative opinions from the past hundred years
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve had several jobs since then and met a few lifelong friends but the point is none of that matters when you’re on the clock. Don’t get involved in the drama and don’t date your coworkers (unless you work in hospitality, I guess)
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 5 weeks ago:
After the resulting shit from being friends with my coworkers at my first “real” job, I avoid work socialization as much as possible. I’ve been with my currently company for 3 years and have only given my number to 3 people…two of which just wanted pictures of my dog since I stopped using Instagram.
Nobody knows me that well and I like it that way. Nobody asks me to fix their computer, nobody shares the latest gossip. If they try, I say “oh wow” and then look back at my screen
- Comment on What is the first electronic device kids get these days? (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Game consoles?) 1 month ago:
My nephew got one of those smart watches for kids. There’s no real games, the camera sucks, and he can only contact and be contacted by approved numbers but it’s nice to have.
I like getting his goofy texts, too
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 month ago:
Sounds like the genre’s just not for you. I also don’t enjoy games like this BUT it’s not wasting time if you’re having fun
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 1 month ago:
I don’t really like games like this (I know Hollow Knight is a masterpiece if you do) but I’d be tempted to buy it for $20 just to support the studio
- Comment on Vague design choice 1 month ago:
You shouldn’t need an indent to make it clear what all the buttons do lol
Terrible design.
- Comment on Vague design choice 1 month ago:
It would also be “easy to figure out” if each button had a different color and there was a table of what each color did. Neither design is good, though. No one should have to “figure out” what such a simple set of buttons does
The problems with it are so apparent, defending it makes me think you just wanted to argue about something today lol
