  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 ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any trademarks they need because Nintendo have allegedly been filing new patents mid-lawsuit in order to justify suing palworld.

  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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  KSP1 also had 0 OG devs by the end so KSP2 was sort of doomed from the start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transitioning in STEM⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  Last time I had a toblerone it tasted like hersheys, no idea what they did to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a combination of the speed of light and how inflation has varied the size of the universe. Light’s only been able to travel about 14 billion light years since the universe began but those further regions used to be closer so light from them was already part of the way here when they vanished over the cosmic horizon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon notices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the pagan festival christmas was intended to superscede was one of feasting and excess its kind of nice to see the opressor eaten alive from the inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People talk about getting filtered by fromsoft bosses but the goddamn driver tutorial was the hardest shit ever; especially since it used a lot of movie terms so if you weren’t really into american movies about cars half the stuff on the list was kind of gibberish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not work? That’s common courtesy! You stay at someones house so you help out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Jumped to linux for a test on an old laptop, currently on windows on my main PC but got parts on the way for a new build that’s going to be Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like that one was also due to awful development practices, they had the whole scrapping the entire first 2 years of work thing due to a control freak lead dev who was ultimately releaved of his position (though not until after release iirc)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is chasing an old high⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Baldurs gate is good but it really shows how much they were trying to capitalise on 5e actually gaining mainstream attention (not that I blame em, folks gotta eat) Divinity Original Sin 2 is a previous title by the same company and IMO feels a lot better to play both mechanically and in terms of actually having a unique feeling universe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 RTX | Demo with Full Ray Tracing and Dlss 4 Announce⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So misleading that the RTX shots also use the re-mastered assets making it look like it magically makes the entire game higher res. Reminds me of those clickbait 3D modelling tips videos where all they do is use a ton of subdivision, yeh it looks smoother, its also got like 8x the geometry to work with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dunning-Kruger⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair light does travel in straight lines, its not lights fault if a straight line in physical reality doesn’t always happen to match up with the geometry we invented.

  Nah I think the plan this time around is going to be prison labour,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't all rooms holodecks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey now if we’re using the practical applications of the tech then the warp field emitters could be used to simply tear ships in half with as much or less energy than it takes to move the ship in the first place, or cause planetary cores to collapse into micro black holes, or create an inverted artifical event horizon around the ship making it physically impossible for weapons fire to pass through it because the direction of ‘through’ simply no longer exists.

  They are the same effect just using different kinds of wave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it more understandable can civ 6? I’m a fan of goddamn stellaris and could competently play civ 5 but civ 6 is like being beaten half to death with a textbook on quantumn physics and then told to sit an exam. The tutorial prepares you for the game about as much as a stick of chewing gum prepares you for the beating.

  Elon isn’t a government official, there would be nothing unwise about arresting him for things most people would get arrested or at least questioned by the police for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a child went into a coma and woke up as an adult what would happen ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On one side I see americans talking about taking over greenland like it’d be a new old west style frontier, on the other side I see northern europe increasingly warming up to landmines again. Come to the new frontier, we have great opportunities like serving mega corporations, randomly exploding and being murdered by danish guerillas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a big fan of stellaris and I played a bit of Civ 5.
  Civ 6 is the most impenatrable thing I’ve ever played, even after the tutorial it still feels like I’ve been shown how to use a hammer and then immediately asked to build the Taj Mahal.

  Art is incredibly valubable, other than wars most of the stuff we remember about past situations is some kind of art (statues, stories, graffiti) Artists on the other than have no percieved value whatsoever.
