- Comment on I quit my job to make my own game. Toll Booth Simulator 1 day ago:
I don’t understand what a lot of those activities have to do with toll booths
The drinking animation needs a lot of work, or just skip it and have it be instantaneous with a gulp sound
The woman’s head getting bigger from the drink is bizarre and disturbing
The woman spewing liquid out from her mouth doesn’t look great
- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 2 days ago:
They know the thing they’ve got going on now isn’t working so they have to latch onto anything new
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 2 days ago:
Lots of guys are held back by looks and/or confidence.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 2 days ago:
Much of our media depicts men in successful relationships, handsome, with a good circle of friends, decent jobs etc.
Guys see this and think there’s something wrong because their reality isn’t matching that media.
It’s more exciting to think you’re observing a widespread social phenomenon than to admit your expectations were shaped by fiction.
- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 2 days ago:
I’ve heard good things about Polysecure. I understand your question doesn’t pertain to non-monogamy, but non-monogamy is an extension of being able to set and respect boundaries yourself rather than simply adopting boundaries that are the default in your community, so maybe it would be helpful?
- Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription? 1 week ago:
The damage comes from strain, which can be caused by trying to see through the wrong prescription of lenses (or no lenses).
- Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription? 1 week ago:
In response to your 2nd paragraph hypothetical, no, because the changes you’re describing are all forms of damage. You’d have to replace or repair the lens in the eye to revert the damage, and simply looking through a different type of external lens isn’t going to achieve that.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 5 weeks ago:
Solar cells are crystalline and rigid. You wouldn’t be able to fold the umbrella up and put it away. Also, as someone else pointed out, solar cells work best in sunlight… which you won’t want an umbrella for.
- Comment on Why do people hate coldplay? 5 weeks ago:
They, like many other bands, stopped doing what they were good at, to experiment. It’s not as good.
I don’t hate them, but their good albums were a long time ago.
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 5 weeks ago:
Trauma
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 5 weeks ago:
It doesn’t take very long to look at ratings. If it’s crap it’ll have crap ratings.
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 5 weeks ago:
Read reviews. Examine promotional materials. Discuss with friends.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 5 weeks ago:
Immersion and customizability
- Comment on Can you see magic eye pictures? 1 month ago:
Yes.
The instructions say don’t cross your eyes but that’s horseshit and probably why so many people fail to see them.
My method is to cross my eyes, then uncross them slowly until the 3d effect appears, then hold on that position.

Was the cookies popup really 3 years ago already?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Your sons are speaking from their experience, which may not be the same as yours.
- Comment on Why does Dairy Queen sell food? 2 months ago:
Hot eats cool treats. That was the slogan 20 years ago. Get some nuggets and a blizzard.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
He thought she was saying a small lie to get a reaction out of him. Like playing a small prank. Playfulness
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 months ago:
Don’t pay someone to steal something. The police will view conspiracy to commit theft much more harshly than blasting music.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 2 months ago:
Your Mom is hurting and lashing out.
You don’t need to fight her battles for her. But you can support her by spending time with her. If she doesn’t appreciate that, you can stop.

Without a pic how do you know
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Depending on your gender you’re heteroflexible or homoflexible
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
When politicians make it illegal for certain groups of people to exist, that oppression kind of takes precedence over other things.
Unless you believe yourself above such peasantry.
- Comment on Every time my wife pees, she flips the lid up. Every time I pee, I flip it down. Never been discussed. Dare I say anything and break the spell? 6 months ago:
Well, if the lid is down, then the seat is also down.
The wife presumably keeps the seat down to pee, too.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds to Leaks: "Not Official" 7 months ago:
Sorry, just frustrated to see the same assumption every generation, after ever generation sees massive change. In retrospect, it’s probably new people making the same assumption, not the same people.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds to Leaks: "Not Official" 7 months ago:
SNES was top loading with receding flaps. NES was front loading with a flap cover.
Must I point out all of the changes, or can you do some critical thinking before you argue?
- Comment on Nintendo Responds to Leaks: "Not Official" 7 months ago:
No shit.
Every 5 years, chodes expect each new Nintendo console to be a copy + paste of the previous one.
It’s never happened.

Elaborate?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Corporate greed.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 8 months ago:
Crises are going to continue being crises as long as the wealth inequality of people worldwide continues increasing.
Think of it like this. There’s a finite amount of money in the world. Right?
The wealth of billionaires has doubled in the last few years. That money came from somewhere. Still with me?
Ok, so… if the wealth of the wealthiest people has doubled, that amount of money they gained was previously held by the less wealthy, but it has now been consolidated into the wealthier people’s bank accounts.
So. How do we solve the housing crisis (or any crisis)? Step 1 has to be to undo the consolidation of wealth. Solving crises without addressing the consolidation of wealth is a pipe dream.
Feel free to hunt for legal mechanisms for achieving that. But I think you’ll find there are institutions and propaganda preventing those mechanisms from being effective.
