Yeh you can watch at lower volume with subtitles because even if you don’t conciously look at them it still helps your brain interpret the sounds and make up for anything you miss due to the reduced volume.
- Comment on Everything is a problem 6 days ago:
I have this smart lightbulb that I got for halloween last year because I thought it’d be cool to make the porch glow purple for trick or treaters. Now I have to replace it because the app that controls it has decided to try and blackmail me for camera and location access and the bulbs default state without the app is to flash on and off in a way seemingly deliberately designed to cause headaches.
- Comment on UK announces £30 million funding package and tax breaks as it aims to be the 'best place in the world to make games' 6 days ago:
Consdiering the PPE, the Ferries, HS2… Spending immense amounts of money on projects that never get finished seems to perfectly align with british culture.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not saying its a good reason, just a reason. We could easily afford it if we took some of that magic money that goes into military funding blackholes or magical infastructure projects that never get built yet somehow break records on cost. Sadly the decision is being made by people with no sense of empathy or value for human life.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 weeks ago:
iirc one of the issues is that even if things go perfectly on a military front no one is quite sure how to handle and de-program/rehabilitate 25.5 million people a large quantity of which likely lack any skills that would be useful in western economies.
- Comment on EA reportedly shelves Need For Speed completely to focus on other projects 2 weeks ago:
I honestly found heats handling atrocious compared to underground, even the grippiest heat care only just barely approaches the feel.
- Comment on Jeremy Corbyn confirms new ‘socialist alternative’ before next election to fight Starmer 2 weeks ago:
Except Starmer is considered a huge dissapointment and no better than a Tory at this point.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 2 weeks ago:
afaik both are unenforceable since you can only read them after paying for the product.
- Comment on Welcome to the Labour police state 3 weeks ago:
Which is the point, the last time the UK protested in a big way people were brutall masacred by the government.
- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 3 weeks ago:
It always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.

Visual proofs can be deceptive, e.g. the infinite chocolate bar.

Signed.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 1 month ago:
Chance as in gambling, so often you don’t even get what you pay for even with ‘reputable’ brands. This is particularly bad with appliances.
- Comment on Newsom Says Trump Is Destroying U.S. Democracy in Speech on L.A. Protests 1 month ago:
Humans don’t co-ordinate well in groups with more than 50 members, having a central figure to follow is useful for maintaining co-ordination and a clear message.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 1 month ago:
These days its incresingly ‘capitalism is when you pay money for the chance to have a thing’
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 1 month ago:
Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.
- Comment on Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought 1 month ago:
Isn’t it more just appreciating the small joys in life? If thats complicated enough that it has to be a whole philosiphy then I think we’re fucked as a species.
- Comment on Anyone else 1 month ago:
Nothing material on earth you can’t find everywhere else, the only things we have that aren’t incredibly plentiful elsewhere are earths unique biology and human culture. Both of which can also be obtained without us ever knowing about it. The only logical reason to invade is ideological so if we ever meet hostile aliens they’re either genocidal zealots or a bunch of sadists.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 month ago:
TLDR: UE5 can be optimized but Unreal also turned it into a bit of a tech demo for their new tech some of which can be counter productive at times.
- Comment on Anon reflects on a conundrum 2 months ago:
Helps if you angle the camera down slightly, actually funny story about AI… There was this site a few years ago that would give you a masculine/femanine score based on a selfie, I discovered all it was really checking was the angle of the face because men tend to take photos straight on and women know to take the photo with your face at an angle. (But NEVER an upward angle)
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
Any trademarks they need because Nintendo have allegedly been filing new patents mid-lawsuit in order to justify suing palworld.
- Comment on Anon is a fighter 2 months ago:
Yeh what chimps got on humans is they go from zero to ripping your face off in 0 seconds flat, humans either require a lot of buildup to get that pissed or some kind of drug.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 2 months ago:
The company I work for recently tried to make a mobile game, being a fairly informal studio with many gamers on staff we made something more like a mini linear rpg than a typical mobile game. Testers loved it but the publisher said it was too complicated for mobile and cancelled on us.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 months ago:
Final Fantasy 7 has a lot of mini versions of this moment because the level art is rarely distinguished from the actual terrain you can interact with so sometimes you kinda get stuck until you realise that this time that little ramp is actually something your supposed to walk up rather than un-interactable scenery like all those previous times.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 - State of Play Deep Dive | PS5 Games 2 months ago:
There seems to be a lot more customization than in previous games so they’re probably going for a bit of a blank slate feel.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 2 months ago:
KSP1 also had 0 OG devs by the end so KSP2 was sort of doomed from the start.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 2 months ago:
Selection bias (which for the record means this is still a problem) the people who don’t discriminate aren’t causing harm so you don’t notice them but since they don’t speak up they aren’t helping either, so the jerks are still setting the tone. The solution is to not just do the right thing but actively call people out the jerks.
- Comment on Heat pumps to be sold ‘smart-ready’ in plans to save households money 2 months ago:
We also have an issue that much of our housing stock is really old and actually relies on leaks for propper air circulation, properly insulating these houses leads to damp and mold problems as OP mentioned. Huge swaths of housing in the UK are just fundementally unfit for purpose.

Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off. - Comment on Toblerone dark chocolate bar discontinued in the UK - BBC News 3 months ago:
Last time I had a toblerone it tasted like hersheys, no idea what they did to them.
