Here’s the most useful one, IMO:
/wiki etIt takes you to the event timers page, so you can see when the world events are going to happen.

The fact that in GW2 you can just type “/wiki subject” and get taken to the wiki page for subject is such an amazing and obvious command I’m surprised more games don’t do it.

{Vaccine shedding](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_shedding) actually is a thing, but it’s 1. only really linked to the oral polio vaccine (which itself is not common in most of the world) and 2. even then it’s extremely rare.
It also requires an attenuated virus vaccine, which means it has a zero percent chance of happening due to mRNA vaccines. In other words, it’s just more lying and fearmongering from bullshit scam artist grifters.

could’ve used a little more ship exploration on voyager, though.
That’s what the expansion pack added. (Remember expansion packs? Like DLC, but complete?)

I seem to recall the thin-skinned narcissist changed Twitter’s tabulation for views to include people just scrolling past it instead of actual clicks.
- Comment on Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬 1 month ago:
What exactly stops him from having these people forcibly removed and/or their access to government resources cut, their paychecks held, their clearances revoked, etc? Who is in charge of those things that can stand up to that?
What stops him is people willing to ignore obviously illegal demands, and the more people that stand up to him the more people will be encouraged to do the same. Now, if Trump openly defies court orders and the executive branch has enough sycophants in it that they’re willing to help him, then it becomes up to us to solve that problem.

The Inspector Generals that Trump is trying to fire basically told him to fuck off.
Under a law passed in 2022 (you know, when the Dems were doing nothing 🙄) the president has to give Congress 1) 30 days notice of firing an IG and 2) enumerate the reasons why that IG was being fired. The second any reason is given to Congress these people are going to sue for wrongful termination since it’s blatantly obvious to everyone Trump is trying to rid the government of anyone who could hold him accountable.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 3 months ago:
Okay, so think about it like this:
Suppose your job is making wooden chairs. It’s takes you the exact same skills to make a wooden chair to sell for profit, as it does to make a wooden chair to donate to a chairless children’s charity, right? So why would you spend all your time and skills doing a job that’s eventually going to bankrupt you? While you might do a few chairs because you feel like it’s morally right, the bulk of your work is going to be selling chairs because that’s how you sustain yourself.
CEOs are in the same situation. A 500-person for-profit company takes the exact same skill set to run as a 500-person non-profit. So the reality is that non-profits need to either be competitive in pay with for-profits, or they have to be attractive in ways other than compensation so they can entice CEOs to work for them.
Now, none of that is to say that the scale of CEO compensation is appropriate, because it’s not. But that’s the calculus a non-profit has to make.

Whether it does or not is irrelevant; what matters is the perception among executives that it does.

- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 5 months ago:
To make astronomically large spaces fit in the game engine from 2009, they made everything infinitesimally small.
In fairness, when Star Citizen first went in to development CE3 was a modern engine.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 5 months ago:
A certain political party benefits from low voter turnout. Which, coincidentally, also happens to be the party working to get Trump elected and shield him from the repercussions of his crimes.
- Comment on Life saving hurricane info locked behind a paywall 5 months ago:
AccuWeather’s business model relies on “adding value” to government-provided data, and monetizing it. Maintaining a fleet of satellites isn’t cheap.

If you can get people to order their groceries from within your walled garden and take a cut… you’re golden.
That’s what Amazon tried with Alexa, and they still can’t figure out how to make it profitable.
- Comment on The Beamscope TV Magnifier - one of the most worthless game accessories of the 1980s. 5 months ago:
That’s a pretty accurate summation of gaming in general in the 80s. The art in the book was nearly always better than the gameplay for lots of games.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarök - PC Launch Trailer 5 months ago:
don’t think that’s their goal at all.
As mentioned (via Tom Warren) by [Playstation co-CEO Hermen] Hulst in the interview, Sony wants to tempt PC players to purchase and play sequels to single-player narrative games on a PlayStation console.

There’s just too much bad rep.
On the one hand, that’s not a bet I’d take since No Man’s Sky exists.
On the other hand, NMS is definitely the exception, not the rule.

- Comment on Space Marine 2 feels even more explosively, grimly, and hilariously authentic to the Warhammer 40,000 universe than the first game 7 months ago:
FTA:
As in the first game, executions are key. When an enemy is staggered, you can run up and trigger a canned death animation—usually tearing them apart with your bare hands, or impaling them on their own claw-limbs—in order to recover your armour bar to block incoming hits.
