- Comment on Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars? 14 hours ago:
No IR not UV. Not the same wavelength UV and IR are on the opposite sides of the visual spectrum.

The brightness is an issue, but the placement and angle are the bigger problem. Its the slippery slope of following american trends. Years ago Mercedes Benz (I think) put out a car that used IR light and a heads up screen (no visible headlights, just running lights) showing the driver the night landscape without needing to blind everyone. It was banned in the states, no real reason why but the idea went dead.

Its gotten to a point that seems impossible, just full clown world. Its gotten to the point that my favorite car to drive at night is my Fiero, because I am so low I am below most of the blinding lights.

Its (like many things) mostly the us’s fault. A slide away from rules into vibe based everything.
I remember a long time ago when I was first getting my license you had to pass a headlight test where you parked in a spot and there where painted lines on a wall for both high and low beams. It was how you adjusted your lights and was common in Canada. Now no one even knows what I am talking about. The rules are still there but no one enforces them and most forgot they can even adjust their lights (not sure new cars and trucks can be anymore).
Manufacturers in North America are now putting their lights so high up on vehicles and use such bright piercing lights on everything that night driving has become a nightmare. The answer to getting blinded is now to out blind others, its madness.

It does not even look good. It looks like a toy and if you managed to swallow it whole it would likely come out of you looking the same.
Really how is that thing someones version of greatness?

Yeah, I am still waiting for unreal 5 to not be a hot physics mess. Guess they are giving up and delivering another half baked engine instead.

Gotta love the song for that series, and so many dead beavers.

KSP with mods is one of the all time best. Timberborn is oddly good, kinda chill city builder with beavers but if you don’t balance your growth your beavers will die. Would recommend.

- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 2 weeks ago:
They sold a similar amount, your agument only works if saros sold a proportional amount more (10x in this case). As it stands the marketing clearly did not work.
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 2 weeks ago:
Game review and news outlets cover the games most likely to be of value to their audiences, partially because they foster that with their own interest, and partly because the data tells them what their audience is reading or watching.
Have to vehemently disagree with this, it is clear that their coverage is not dictated by the value their audiences receive but from other more corporate values. And as time goes on the media coverage on games has less and less valued. It has nothing to do with my option on the media but my observations on the industry. The reason I brought up zenonaughts 2 was that it has 1/10 the reviews but similar sales, and that is indicative of the clear decline of the main stream gaming review system not having the pull it once did.
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 2 weeks ago:
What other gaming areas are you thinking of? Are they user driven for content and discourse like this?
And there are 130 outlets reviewing the game because they are in the business of reviewing games and this one was a rare exclusive for the ps5. It would be odd if they did not review it (and give it questionably high marks). If you look at a game like xenonauts 2 that also came out recently that sold about the same number of copies (very odd since one is very niche) they only have 14 critic reviews vs 130. The issue is the critic reviews clearly don’t hold the same value to consumers as they once did.

Edit response time: That people interested in games did not know about it would be very indicative of a major failing and current lack of relavance of mainstream gaming media. That would seem to be very much on point, as there is no need to help us for not knowing, but it would seem Sony might need help.
The fact that I never seen or heard of this is no surprise though, the only time gaming news coverage shows up for most is when there is some sort of scandal. Its why I know more about “Mix Tape”, “High Guard” and “Marathon” then this game.
I like my small indie / oddball games but I find I get more info from people steaming a game and talking about it then a “review” that had clearly been bought and paid for. And it seems I am not the only one, as clearly no one is reading the “major” gaming news sites anymore. Well at least in this case no one from their target audience is.

- Comment on Starfield PS5 players demand refunds, reporting widespread bugs and glitches that leave the game "unplayable" 1 month ago:
The thing that ruined it for me was the story just kinda falls apart and the society they made seems laughably small, like total universe has like 30,000 total people in it. Then you add in the loading into loading to watch a cutscene to cover a loading of the next area and the kinda bad ship combat. Eh the end result is not the worst game, but not a game that anyone should pay more then like $15 for.

- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 2 months ago:
Acknowledging an issue is not admitting a fault, its kinda what good nations do. And one article from an advocacy group does not make a broken system. Here I can do the same for the usa:
https://ballardbrief.byu.edu/issue-briefs/challenges-for-people-with-disabilities
https://www.section508.gov/blog/Barriers-to-Accessibility-Stories-from-Our-Community/
Not to say Denmark or anywhere is perfect far from it, but pulling an article out and claiming smug victory when not in a competition is very american.
How most would do it is just list the building directive:
Your attitude is american by the way, I am glad I don’t have to meet more of you in person.

Ok, why are you like this? Non rhetorical this time, as this is not even grammar nazi at this point but a complete lack of understanding of the even the possibility of nuance in the written word. Why do you seem to feel the need to ruin any non literal use of descriptive words? What broke in you to make you such a way?
