- Comment on malicious backdoor found in widely used game mod by Low Level [YouTube] 1 week ago:
There were rumours about one for rimworld but I’m not sure if it was real or on steam.
- Comment on 'Botched insulation means mushrooms grow on my walls' 1 month ago:
I agree but I can see why someone might not want to invite the people they feel ruined their home back to have another go.
- Comment on Godot fork- Redot emerges after recent events within the Godot project. 1 month ago:
I’m torn, because this is useless, but also I’d quite like them up high on a platform for everyone to point and laugh at.
- Comment on Fears for patient safety as GPs use ChatGPT to diagnose and treat illness 2 months ago:
You can build excellent expert systems that will definitely help a do tor remember all the illnesses, know what questions to ask to narrow things down or double check it’s not something weird, and provide options for treatment.
These exist and are good
Chargpt isn’t an expert system and doctors using it like one need a serious warning from the BMC and would eventually need to be struck off, same as using ouija boards or bones to diagnose illnesses.

It’s just a total coincidence the costs are the same then? Weird story

What is that? A car for ants?
- Comment on Boy, 15, is first person charged with riot over recent English disorder 3 months ago:
I didn’t see it earlier but I’d have assumed this was saying the police should be chasing Rotherham child abusers not wasting time on riots.

Do you have a link to a non blue sky blue sky instance for people to jon?
- Comment on Britain ignored its far-right threat and demonized Muslims. Now racist mobs have spiraled out of control. 3 months ago:
The suffering is real but the link to migration is entirely made up.
Not enough GPs for the population? They’ve retired.
Too much traffic? More and more people own cars and the entire country outside cities is designed to require them.
No home? Councils were banned from building them in the 80s of course we don’t have enough housing.
giving an inch on the core anti migration argument is a mistake because it makes the action to actually fix these problems harder.
No action on migration can ever be enough because the racists want to kick every black person born here out, and the “legitimate concerns” crowd won’t see any improvement in their lives and will keep demanding bigger and bigger action alongside them. - Comment on More than 100 arrested in London as violence flares after Southport stabbings 3 months ago:
It’s a fair point, thanks for the correction.
Not sure how I got the wrong impression, probably heard he’d been killed for being too woke or something.
- Comment on More than 100 arrested in London as violence flares after Southport stabbings 3 months ago:
People imagining something awful for years will be triggered when it finally (allegedly) happens but their fears are ultimately based on fearmongering.
Plenty of people are scared of the two assasinations of MPs by right wing lunatics.
Or that mosque pipe bombing Or lots of other thanks that happen over and over because of these problematic communities you mention. Do we really need to understand the hate and intolerance to punish it? I don’t think so - Comment on Cyclists are dying on our roads at an alarming rate - why don't we care? 4 months ago:
Just the criminal ones. I think that would leave private eye
- Comment on The disturbing online misogyny of Gamergate has returned – if it ever went away 5 months ago:
Did they also mistranslate the Chinese women commenting on trailers that the studio is gross and don’t want women playing their game?
It’s honestly tragic, if you read that article it’s primarily about the Chinese game industry culture with one game and studio used as an example because it’s a supposedly a AAA game to rival western studios.
ign.com/…/how-black-myth-wukong-developers-histor…
We’re being asked to believe ign has slandered a large Chinese studio, entirely made up, and kept the article up regardless. It just doesn’t hold water. Harrassing some poor women off social media and writing long comments about everything being made up is easy, but ign are still standing by the article six months after it was published.
- Comment on The disturbing online misogyny of Gamergate has returned – if it ever went away 5 months ago:
There are so many outlandish claims in this comment with basically nothing backing it up
This 100%
I deleted my reply because it was too much but the original ign article on wukong is very tame. I can’t see why they’re so worked up to harass the author off the internet.
Some days beehaw not having downvotes is a real issue.

If anyone is giving these a go make absolutely certain you’re not buying distant worlds 2 by mistake.
- Comment on Thoughts on Space Games, Part 3: Too Many Tiny Games! 5 months ago:
Star ruler as an honourable mention is fair, but have you tried the totally different and now open sourced StarRuler2?
It’s a much better game, much tighter with a definite progress path for colonies shipping things to each other (later used by slipstream which is more pure management and might not fit your list)
It’s free, it’s worth a try I promise it’s very different to SR
- Comment on Extend success of UK sugar tax to cakes, biscuits and chocolate, experts urge 5 months ago:
The point is they reduced the sugar in coke semi secretly, they can still buy a coke it just doesn’t stop going into diabetic coma. And you find out when you’re on the way to hospital.

The “BBC” has a long history of weird “quote style” No one “knows why”

- Comment on Tories shelve pledge for everyone in UK to live 15 minutes from a green space 11 months ago:
It seemed extremely suspicious to me at the time they required councils to do ltns or lose funding.
Even with all that has happened I still find it easier to believe different paeople in government had different goals, but I can’t disagree it looks a lot like forcing councils to do something they can use to mobilise their base.
