- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 3 weeks ago:
Mind you, Monster Hunter World forces every player of a hunting squad to view an unskippable story mission cutscene in their own hosted instance before being able to join another player’s session of the same mission.
Lots of watching the cutscene in a solo hunt, abandoning the mission, then joining on a friend.

It will always be weird to me that microsoft sells some games both on the microsoft store app and the xbox app, but other games exclusively through the xbox app.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 4 weeks ago:
I played RoR1 a couple years after release, RoR2 on release, and RoRR on release. I still like 1/Returns better than 2, but I like 2 as well. They are honestly pretty similar in gameplay, but I think the 2d style leaves a lot more room for boss moveset creativity.

- Comment on Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs 4 weeks ago:
How do you find out if you are a supertaster? I’m curious because growing up I couldn’t stomach any vegetable that was bitter. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, celery, etc. were enough to make me gag just from the flavor. Nowadays, I can cope with the bitterness by focusing on other flavors and textures but I’ve definitely been in positions where I have a single bite of celery and then can’t muster up the courage to eat for a solid hour.
- Comment on Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs 4 weeks ago:
I think they’re asking because you can develop taste aversion by eating something and getting sick (even if the sickness is completely unrelated).
My sister got H1N1 when it was proliferating, and she had a box of nilla wafers before the symptoms started hitting hard. Now she inexplicably can’t eat a single nilla wafer.

I think people underestimate the value of intertia in power generation. I liken it to the way capacitors regulate voltage changes or coilovers absorb bumps and vibrations.
The inertia of the generators connected to the grid helps stabilize frequency changes caused by blackouts, power plant issues, etc. by resisting and therebly slowing down frequency decline. It buys time for grid operators to find a way to balance loads in a way that doesn’t weaken or disable the grid as a whole.
Here’s a great NREL report explaining how this all works, and what other systems we use to stabilize grid frequency.

My reasoning for why “infinite” would be easy to remember is because “infinity” is notably a word with only i as a main vowel (excluding the y)
But I see what you mean too
- Comment on definitely 1 month ago:
I always told people “definitely is spelled like infinitely, so just remember how to spell infinite”
But I suppose “finite” is even better than “infinite” since there’s less to remember.

That Dragon, Cancer turned me into a blubbering sobbing mess.
There’s are so many spots in the game that could hit someone the hardest, and I know what mine was.

I, too, quite like genesis Image
- Comment on Fuck geometry 1 month ago:
The easiest way to think about it is that 1 full rotation (pi radians) in 1 second makes 1 Hz.
The number of rotations made in a second corresponds to Hz in the same way that the number of sine wave periods that fit in a second also represents Hz. This gif does a really good job of showing how rotation relates to sine/cosine waves, which just so happens to help visualize the rad/s -> Hz <- periods/s relationship:

You made me doubt myself lol, I was like “you’re right, 540° neck turning range seems excessive so I should do a searcg”
- Comment on 360 Degrees Owl 1 month ago:
I know it’s a scientific paper or anything, but a quick search led me to Smithsonian Magazine’s article:
“Owls, on the other hand, can rotate their necks up to 270 degrees in either direction without damaging the vessels running below their heads…”

So what you’re is that power creep and meta chasing ruined the creativity in the Earth server?
- Comment on 360 Degrees Owl 1 month ago:
I mean, if they can turn 270 degrees in either direction then I suppose they can cover 360 degrees, just not from resting position.

Not an RPG but is open world: Hyper Light Drifter
I’ve run it on a potato laptop before, so it should run fine.

You can always use the GOG Galaxy launcher!

Yeah, definitely can’t rely on it for too long. Double granite walls can hold off basic enemies for a ridiculous amount of time, though.
- Comment on What's your favourite it's all in the gameplay game? 1 month ago:
This is advice I’ve given to new Rimworld players, and I hope it was helpful. The game (on most difficulties) is itching to give you the next “scenario.”
Building your wealth in valuable equipment is not very good at the start of the game, because your town’s silver value will go up much faster than its defensive/offensive capabilities. You end up putting a target on your back for raids.
Better to build a surrounding wall and set up trap corridors than to worry about getting everyone a gun.

Same story here. You described it perfectly. Mitutoyo comes next.

This may or may not help, but a nickel is very close to 5 grams. You may be able to slap something silly together with a bunch of nickels taped together :P

- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 2 months ago:
Maybe I’ve just been lucking out, but every concert venue I’ve been to recently has let me in with my vape. I usually tell the security person I have it on me, and then they tell me it’s fine and pass me through. You’re right though, it would suck to have to toss it.
I don’t agree with the “smaller” part though. Most of the disposable units I see are thicker and wider than my refillable one, since they need to be long-lasting as a value proposition. I think the main draw is probably pure convenience.
- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 2 months ago:
As someone who is using a nicotine vape to wean off of nicotine, I still don’t understand why people buy disposable ones.
It’s less cost-effective, less customizable, and more sketchy.
- Comment on Mom of the year 2 months ago:
Yes, and Your Grace’s (my) pronoun is “Your Grace,” also always inflected and conjugated in whichever way is convenient to Your Grace.
You mean to suggest that the first person and third person of your pronouns are conjugated exactly the same. So the sentence “Drag’s pronoun is Drag” exists as the first, second, AND third person version of the statement. At that point, what is the point of having distinctions in perspective? It almost seems like your system of pronouns changes the grammar of the language into a different version of the language… hmm…
