  You think they’ve brought the price down from $35?

  I bet this thing is actually worth only $25 and they’ve increased the price to that instead. With shipping and handling you end up paying almost double.

  Given an unlimited amount of tries, anything that has a non-zero chance of happening will happen. But what has zero chance of happening will still not happen.

  The wiring in a house that carries about 2000W could start a fire if it gets damaged. Imagine what would happen if whatever carries the energy to power a replicator gets damaged.

  Has he considered 7 day work weeks, with sleeping quarters for the workforce to stay on the premises. And armed guards to prevent them from escaping?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's PC works⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have my 2014 machine. I’ve upgraded it with an M.2 drive and more RAM. Everything else is perfectly fine and I wouldn’t see the difference with a newer machine. I’ll keep it for a long as I can because the longer I wait the better the machine I replace it with will be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates Apple⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their “repair” program is nothing but a scam to nudge you into buying a new Apple product to replace the broken one with overinflated repair prices and bullshit excuses like that.

  Also it works exactly as Steve Jobs intended.

  The cost of private health insurance alone would erase what would have been saved by lower taxes. And we’d still have to pay bankruptcy-inducing hospital bills on top of that anyway.

  I still sometimes hear songs from the game used in videos

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YEET⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of that quote from Mass Effect:

  “This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight! Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class Dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means: Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space! (…) I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty! Once you fire this hunk of metal, it keeps going 'till it hits something! That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you are ruining someone’s day, somewhere and sometime!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why people litter in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile in Japan public trash cans are extremely rare and people are expected to bring their trash home and throw it away there. And they do. We are just a spoiled society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't imagine being paid to act like I enjoy working in the office⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I work in an office cubicle. I am constantly interrupted by coworkers asking for stuff or wanting to take about non-work related things. Or I am distracted by other co-workers who are having loud conversations within 2 meters of me.

  I am probably 5x more productive at home than in this environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A minimum amount of karma is required to start threads in many communities. I used to be subscribed to a community that didn’t have automated bot detection or a very active moderator and was being hit by bots posting ads to scam merchandise websites multiple times a day. Here’s what I observed.

  These posts had a few dozen quick upvotes over the first few minutes of being posted along with a few comments from other bots shilling the ad after being posted. These shilling comments also received a bunch of initial upvotes as well, and then all slowly got a trickle of downvotes by real humans after. Real humans who also commented to denounce the scam ads a few minutes later, some of which were also receiving a sudden spike of downvotes. The bots would eventually get reported and banned (only from the subreddit because at least back then Reddit themselves didn’t do crap about bots), and then this would repeat multiple times a day.

  I’ve checked their post history and all of these bots were “dormant” and were farming karma by reposting content and copying comments in other subs and imitating human behaviour for the better part of a year before being activated and used to post ads.

  This was only from a scammy merch selling website in a relatively small community and it employed a sophisticated network of thousands of rolling bot accounts, probably more than the number of subscribers the subreddit had. There are countless other bot operations on Reddit for advertising and propaganda purposes that might be even more sophisticated and difficult to detect.

  I’ve also seen my own original content being reposted by a bot farming karma in another subreddit and I was shadow banned for complaining about it while the bot was allowed to do its thing where it went on using its karma to post propaganda.This is when I quit Reddit.

  I don’t know if the majority of Reddit is bot accounts, but the number is staggering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random Screenshots of my Games #45 - Subnautica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is ironically what I loved about Subnautica. The game does not hold your hand throughout. You don’t have a map, you don’t mindlessly navigate waypoints, you are not being given a guided tour through the story like some ride at Disneyland. You have to learn to navigate the area yourself, memorize landmarks, and figure out what you have to do yourself with the clues around you. It is a bit of a whiplash at first when you are so used to being babysitted and guided throughout a game but I’ve found it to be the unbelievably rewarding once the “click” happens. You can absolutely miss important (and dope AF) events if you miss the timings that the game gives you. You are treated like an adult by the game. You really get the feeling of being a lone explorer, planning and going on expeditions to gather what you need whether it is resources or blueprints and it will all be you.

  The risk-reward situation of exploring increasingly complex and disorienting ship fragments, slowly cutting through blocked doors with a ladder while seeing your oxygen levels dwindle and hoping you can find your way out in time were absolutely fantastic to me. The way the gameplay and the way you travel through the world entirely changes the moment you unlock the PRAWN suit, and one again with the Cyclops are absolutely amazing.

  I wish this game clicked with everyone the way it did for me. It is easily my top 5 best single player experiences ever and I only wish I could forget it so I could discover everything again. But The Outer Wilds never clicked for me like that so I can understand why some people might not like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 - Official Teaser Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing that is very noticeable is that the sound/music design. The original designer isn’t working at Unknown Worlds anymore after making some very regrettable comments on social media and I’m not expecting him to come back. As a result Below Zer0’s sound design was OK but pales in comparison to the amazing atmosphere that was set in the original game. Unless they manage to find a very talented sound designer it might miss the mark again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 - Official Teaser Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the reason why the first one was such a great experience for me is that I got it much later after a lot of the issues with the game and gameplay were fixed and the story line was completed. I’m glad I did so. I might do the same with that one and wait a year before getting it, if reviews are decent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subnautica 2 - Official Teaser Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m worried it might be a disappointment. The first one was catching lightning in a bottle. Below Zer0 has put some doubts over their ability to do it again.

  Before we cut our food in perfectly sized bites with utensils our ancestors used to do it by biting into large pieces of food with their front teeth. That would wear them down evenly to form a nice flat bite.
