- Comment on 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' 6 days ago:
How greedy of the man, to checks notes admit to not wanting to make a cash grab and instead leaving the series unfinished because they didn’t think they could do it justice.
- Comment on But yes. 1 week ago:
Most power generation is just steam spinning turbines. Solar’s just weird. Wind cuts out the steam loop.
- Comment on Whould everyone doing nothing be a viable option? 2 weeks ago:
The main difference between a prime minister and a president is the fact that they’re appointed, not elected, no? Little difference when you consider the state of national primaries in the states, but still.
- Comment on He's a little feisty, but he looked cold 2 weeks ago:
Their face looks like “you know, I was going to murder you, but I’m just gonna see how long you keep this up for until you realize.
- Comment on Planet Coaster 2 review 2 weeks ago:
As much as I hate being a corporate shill: ask yourself this. Is the game worth the asking price with no DLC? You don’t have to buy every DLC, that’s just the cost of the additional game development time. And maybe the game isn’t worth the price now, but in two years you can probably pick it and a few of the best DLCs up for the same price as it is now and get your money’s worth.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 4 weeks ago:
Realistic as in “this is a believable real person” not “this is exactly what everyone looks like”
- Comment on Fields of Mistria is one of the most impressive games I've ever played 1 month ago:
Sun haven was a pleasant experience. Rather than automating farming, I just cause earthquakes and rainstorms to plow and water respectively. My only complaint is my thumb hurting from constantly air dashing around.
- Comment on Behaviour Interactive (Dead By Daylight devs) acquire Red Hook Studios (Darkest Dungeon devs) 1 month ago:
Please keep behavior far away from fromsoft thanks

Lmao okay so you had a skill issue and got salty, got it.

Tedious: too long, slow, or dull; tiresome or monotonous
I think what you were going for was challenging and/or punishing. The first game explicitly has ends to each city type, and I certainly wouldn’t describe watching the city steam a man alive to get the people to tolerate you putting sawdust in their food “dull”

What are our bets on what forever chemical is our generations leaded gasoline?
- Comment on Things that we hate 2 months ago:
Step 1. Have an idea
Step 2. Google idea
Step 3. Someone thought of it before you were born

Those who just live by a philosophy might browse there for recipe ideas and that’s about it.
- Comment on How to treat a man 2 months ago:
Instead we chuckle at a message of violence and wonder why people get radicalized.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 2 months ago:
That’s cool granddad, you must be such an open minded and pleasant individual
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 2 months ago:
Why? The padding is there for those with the stomach for it, but you can just… play a new game once you’ve stopped having fun?
- Comment on Shadows of Doubt, the procgen private-eye immersive sim, is leaving early access next month 3 months ago:
If my experience is anything to go by, you mug everybody you see, steal everything in their wallet to “identify them”, interrogate them while vomiting drunk in their apartment, and maybe solve a murder or two on accident.

Lotta words to say you’re mad 🤷🏻♂️
- Comment on Garfield 4 months ago:
Garfield’s injection of +c reminds me of when I was a wee little shit and, annoyed at losing points on a test for forgetting to write “+ c”, decided to exclusively write “- c” for the rest of school. Dropped the habit in college because I stopped caring, but I am always tempted.
- Comment on Sun Haven is for Stardew Valley fans that want more and it now has controller support 5 months ago:
My only complaint is my thumb hurts from air dashing 24/7
- Comment on The men vs. bear saga reaches the inevitable conclusion 5 months ago:
It’s saying that and it’s saying they have no concept of the dangers of wildlife. But everyone takes addressing the latter as ignoring the former, when they’re two separate conversations only combined by the dumb analogy.
- Comment on The men vs. bear saga reaches the inevitable conclusion 5 months ago:
Polar bears will in fact just kill you and eat you. Grizzlies, very likely to be territorial. Black bears are the most “cowardly”, but all three will fuck you up to protect their young, hence why the season matters.
I haven’t exactly done the math on relative bear populations to tell you if your odds are better with a random bear or a random man, but it doesn’t matter, you wouldn’t consider any of my statements valid even if I wrote a whole ass thesis.
- Comment on The men vs. bear saga reaches the inevitable conclusion 5 months ago:
Absolutely depends on proximity, and probably how close we are to (bear) mating season. And type of bear, for that matter. If we’re including all men with no restrictions, it’s only fair to include all bears too, right?

The second most useful thing I learned from statistics courses was the statistics. The first was just how terrible most people are in their application.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 7 months ago:
“Socialism will transition to communism” is just a communism thing. Social democracy is different. It doesn’t involve communism. Because communism is cringe.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 7 months ago:
Because exclusively that’s the communist viewpoint. There are different socialist ideologies than communism. It’s a rectangle vs square situation.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 7 months ago:
That’s neither exclusive to communism nor has it been achieved in most purportedly communist states (I hear Vietnam’s actually been having a good run of things but I can’t speak to specifics).
Socialism != communism.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 7 months ago:
They’re mask off on hexbear/lemmygrad, they try to be subversive on lemmy.ml. I have in fact instance blocked the first two, you can usually dodge them on .ml. Lemmy is far less enjoyable if you have not blocked them.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 7 months ago:
Commune-ism sounds like a lovely idea on a small scale, you gotta solve a lot of political problems to make it work on anything bigger. Social democracies like the scandinavians seem to be the best way we currently know to run a humanitarian society.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 7 months ago:
“America does bad things, so I should support china/russia instead!”
“Stalin/mao were (anything besides utterly reprehensible dictators)”
“Communism could’ve worked if-“
Honorable mention to thinking this coy “I’m going to act all hyper respectful and yet also like I know more than anyone about anything” bullshit gets you anywhere.
