  It’s been like that for decades to be honest. Ceres used to be called a planet, but you don’t see anyone complaining about it’s demotion

  No, maltitol is the one that gives everyone the immediate shits.

  Personally, I use erythritol as a sugar replacer. While it can cause some bowel activity in large amounts, it takes a few hours to kick in and is more akin to eating a bunch of fiber

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon ups his fibre intake⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The artificial sweetener in question is maltitol.

  Also, under no circumstances should you ever use it to make jello shots and give them to your asshole neighbor for the party they’re about to host

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon ups his fibre intake⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a full bag, just a few gummy bears. Maltitol is not to be trifled with

  Tbh, unless you’re downloading a DLC size mod or a big 4K textures pack the installs are nearly instant

  Would a federated discovery frontend work? Peertube’s back end of the service would probably work great as a starting point since it uses torrents to ease up on traffic for individual servers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember seeing an article about it a month back. It’s just the backend that they’re open sourcing, since that will let it be audited for bugs, help the community make mods for private servers, and help other studios in the future since the backend is the hard part about making MMO’s. The devs are wanting to maintain ownership of assets like art and writing so those will not be oprn source

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's split personality⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Believe it or not, belly buttons. At most you’re only supposed to wash them once per month. Any more than that and you risk an infection due to imbalance in the microbes in there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Long Dark - Visual Enhancement Update - Now Live!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminder to everyone that these are the same devs that raised a giant stink when GeForce Now released and originally let you stream any game that you already owned through Steam.

  And in case anyone needs clarification: they wanted to force players to buy two copies of the game just to stream it. Don’t support bad behavior like this.

  They’re referring to the bubonic plague (aka the Black Death) which didn’t arrive in Europe until the 14th century. And yes, we would habe heard of it before then because it was highly contagious.

  Or just pirate and emulate Nintendo games. They’re such scumbags that they make piracy morally correct

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Games have also gotten massively cheaper due to distribute due to digital downloads being the most common, and they’re making way more sales due to gaming having a much larger audience.

  The main reason these games have ridiculously inflated budgets are because execs are pushing for more management, which in turn push for oversized teams making design-by-committee out of fear of making something people don’t like. The gamin industry doesn’t get to make excuses anymore. Them being unable to reign in their development budgets aren’t our problem. They need to figure out how to offer games at a lower price, because they’re going to run out of customers willing to pay otherwise

  Many of us don’t get a choice when it comes to work computers.

  Then just switch to Linux on your personal computer. Seriously, it’s as if you saw that single “gotcha” argument and decided to repeat it with no thought whatsoever

  You did exactly what I predicted, exactly why I hate the modern internet.

  Then get the fuck off the internet then. Self-aggrandizing bootlickers aren’t appreciated, for good reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is just frustrating because there’s some real improvements in mays of their usual systems elsewhere in the game. The I think the persuasion mechanics are a real step up from previous games and I’m amazed the system hasn’t been ported into Skyrim. They got flight mechanics to actually work in the Creation engine. Zero-G and low gravity works great. Gunplay and combat is even more improved over Fallout 4 (though it’s an incremental improvement over the revolutionary leap made with Fallout 4).

  Imo, Starfield is mainly lacking in only a few (though critical) things. They need more than 4 fleshed-out companions, and have them for different factions; there’s a couple of NPC’s that I expected to become companions. Since they insistend on having procedurally generated content, they needed to add way more pieces to their tilesets and, more importantly, have an algorithm to stitch things together and have some actual variety. As it is right now, you get the same exact facilities copy-pasted as whole spaces with no variation. And they needed to not force you into the main storyline, or at least pull a Fallout: New Vegas and have multiple paths through the main storyline.

  There’s a lot of good bones to be had in Starfield, which just makes the cock-ups more disappointing since they’ll lead to those imprpvements being abandoned

  Plus the updates keep breaking mods. Part of why I’m holding off on another playthrough is that I’m worried he’s going to add one more update as soon as I finish a modlist and boot up

  Im just tired of people using “strong” as a catch all descriptor when it actually doesn’t mean much of anything in context.

  Apparently you haven’t realized that I’m the one who pointed out that “strength” has a very specific meaning in engineering and that the article was using that definition correctly.

  How about you go and contemplate the definitions of a chill pill for a while broseph

  Says the guy whinging about all engineers being stupid based on one dumbnut ignoring everyones’ advice and making a shitty sub. And you’re the guy going on a rant based solely on your ignorance of engineering terms. The only one here that needs a chill pill is you
