Back in school, one of my first sex ed classes, teacher says: “boys have a factory of sperm in their bodies”.
Me, trying to be funny: “oh so that’s why sometimes there’s smoke coming out of my mouth?”
Thankfully it landed well with the classmates, but the teacher was really worried I took it literally.

I remember a game I played ~9 years ago where you could send ships to explore the world and when they got back you had the option to reject their findings. If you never rejected anything, the world would be exactly like Earth, but everytime you rejected it would randomize the section that had been explored and over time it would start generating a whole new world.
And you could even make the planet flat by rejecting the discovery of it being round.

Soup might do the trick, but stuff like coca cola definitely doesn’t.
People say that a terrible diet will make you die earlier and that doesn’t scare anybody. They should be telling that before dying there will be several years where you’ll need to use your hands to scoop the shit out of your ass.

- Comment on 10 incredible PC games that never got console ports—until Steam Deck happened 3 weeks ago:
I got the game from some magazine, in a time I didn’t have many choices for games. I didn’t speak much English yet at the time so I had trouble getting past some stuff and didn’t get very far. I even named my first dog after the robot dog in the game.
I picked it up on steam a few years ago and tried it again. I think I got much farther than I had back in the day, but still didn’t finish it. I think I might try it again on deck now.

Sir, there’s something wrong here. I spent 20 years believing I was the only person who ever played Septerra Core, and it’s too long to change my mind now.

- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 4 weeks ago:
You probably have different gaming habits than me, or a hell of a memory. I’ve likely played over 4 thousand different games over the course of my life so far.
… Now I want to use one of those tools to try to figure out this number.
- Comment on Severance’s Seth Milchick was originally envisioned as a minor character, but Tramell Tillman’s performance changed everything 4 weeks ago:
Title exaggerates it a bit: the character was not necessarily minor, they made it open ended from the start so they could decide later if it would be a character worth expanding or not.

Oh yeah I played Elden Ring too. Avowed I tried but didn’t like; the other two really aren’t my type of game.

Any such experiences in the last few years? I think the last AAA games I’ve played where RDR2 and Spider Man.

How big is the battery on the legion go? The deck’s battery drains so quickly I wouldn’t be surprised if it couldn’t last 7 hours even in the home screen.
- Comment on Google is Using AI to Censor Independent Websites 5 weeks ago:
Search WAS good when it was a simple search. Sites were indexed by the search engine and if you searched for the words you wanted to find, the results would be exactly that. In that context, it worked perfectly.
But the problem was that most people used search engines in a different way. They weren’t searching for specific content, but searching for answers to questions. And for that, search engines would only show results that had that same question and then you’d need to hope that the question had been answered.
Over time, search engines kept shifting into trying to better support the questions and answers format, making the basic content search worse as a result. Where we are now, neither or them works too well. Google is now better at understanding what people are trying to search, but worse at finding it.
AI is just expanding this with yet another layer: it might make Google better at understanding what you search and maybe even might be better at finding it than the engine is now, but it’ll add the ability to misinterpret the results too.
Honestly I’d be pretty happy if I had a simple indexed search again.

In the greentext itself I got quite confused with the multiple pronouns and terms. I’m still not sure if it’s meant to be a trans women who’s saying that they are out in their assigned gender, or just a trans men.
My confusion comes from the fact that they seemed to appreciate being called “ladyship” but then mention they are in boymode.
