- Comment on Why there are no "secondary" sports league that allow performance enhancement drugs? 9 months ago:
An organization can’t outwardly support it because that would be a legal nightmare once participants get hurt or die as a direct result of it. They may also struggle to get events sanctioned by the jurisdictions that they’re hosting the events in.
That said, there are plenty that turn a blind eye to it as best they can, as others have pointed out.

We don’t exclusively use metric in the UK. We use a hybrid of the two. Most of the comments that “get on Americans’ case” about it are likely coming from continental Europeans and other countries which do use metric exclusively.
- Comment on Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that? 11 months ago:
Why do people watch movies when books exist? They’re different mediums for delivering a story.
I saw this thread and assumed you were talking about actual walking simulators like Firewatch or Gone Home, ones that don’t really have any gameplay. But from your comments you seem to be taking issue with games like God of War, The Last of Us and The Witcher which makes me think you’re a little misguided as to what those games really are. Those games have a story but that’s not the sole reason they’re popular. They’re all groundbreaking titles in their own right from a gameplay perspective, they just happen to have good stories because that makes them resonate with players even more.
