- Comment on Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool. 15 hours ago:
Yeah, such a shameful lack of bigots’ POV.

- Comment on why does every single flashlight have multiple settings that you have to scroll through? 5 weeks ago:
Surprised not to see any reference to the Arbitrary List of Popular Lights or !flashlight@lemmy.world.
One of the requirements to make it on the list is:

The problem is there isn’t anything “useful” for understanding humans. Yes we can come up with plausible evolutionary justifications for behavior like cooperation, but they are basically untestable and useless for predictions.
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 month ago:
That assumes “you” are just the conscious part. If you accept the rest of your brain (and body) as part of “you”, then it’s a less dramatic divide.

I don’t think it’s fair to call Slay the Spire (StS) a clone. While Card Quest introduced a lot of the key elements years earlier, StS adds enough innovation that it feels like a totally different game. Definitely would be more fair to say StS popularized a lot of the mechanics rather than invented/pioneered them though.
