  If he likes making simple games, consider introducing him to Scratch. It’s not monetized at all and last I checked, was much better moderated than other online platforms for kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Subway surfers has gone to shit. There are flashing popup ad nags that show up WHILE you’re playing now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suffering⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have chronic pain and can confirm that this is NOT the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suffering⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t suffer after you’re dead. Being reincarnated and killed infinite times is infinitely worse than being killed once. If each trolley kills at the same rate, the actual amount of created suffering should be comparable, but I’d argue that since the infinite people don’t revive, we can assume that the trolley is replacing their normal deaths. This means that the suffering they would experience from dying normally never happens and the infinite people option actually creates less suffering overall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genocide apologists deciding if they can counter a Wojak meme by accusing the poster of antisemitism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk the context of whatever the complaint is, but I just want to point out that people’s noses always look way bigger when you take closeup photos of them. It’s because the nose protrudes out from the face, so from a normal distance it’s just a little bit closer to the camera, but from close up the proportional distance difference and therefore apparent visual size of the nose is massive. If your nose looks big in a photo, re-take it from further away.

  Yeah, everything will look cyan if the projector can’t put out red.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh, I’m not OP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hes alive so this meme is OK right?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you feel the need to make such statements regarding the motivation without any source or evidence to back them up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, for sure. It is very sad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  caught a DV charge

  Nah. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Placeboz⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Put it on 90% “sale” all the time.

  I know that’s illegal, but when have laws mattered to pharmaceutical companies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was an attempt⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy hell. So I guess cloaking technology already exists, it’s just that the octopuses got to it first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Blocks Access to Protest Anthem in Hong Kong⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh ok :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Blocks Access to Protest Anthem in Hong Kong⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As it is now, only people who read about it or live there and try to find the song will ever even know about the block. If Google refused and was kicked out of Hong Kong, just about every single citizen would notice and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom. I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

  That’s why I’d sign out ASAP if they made the announcement. It’d also definitely light a fire under my ass to start switching things to ProtonMail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's important to get a good interest rate⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why you let them think they lost a bunch of money for a few moments before giving it all back and tell them you love them, but that not everyone loves them in the same way and that real bankers won’t be so kind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's important to get a good interest rate⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this may not be a bad way to teach kids the dangers of compound interest, but only if you refund the excess interest afterwards because actually tricking your kid into draining their bank account in interest is a dick move.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I would just keep watching without signing in, then. Losing out on recommendations would be mildly annoying, but I could still access my subscription feed by being signed in on one window and copying video links to another one where I’m not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My concern is that this race to the bottom is so that they can intentionally become unsustainable due to ad blockers. From there, they may be able to get Congress to ban ad blocking altogether.

  Orb of Enhancement?

  The Acidbrot Set

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about human history⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. The idea of a Star Trek-like community of technologically similar alien races all developing in parallel and making alliances/wars with each other is not reflective of reality at all. If we ever encounter aliens, they will either have essentially no technology like animals or will be so far beyond us that they are effectively gods. The odds of us running into a civilization at an even remotely similar level of development are infinitesimal.

  I think websites do this when they want to force you to change your password every so often (which is a really bad policy btw), but didn’t bother actually making a popup for it, so they just fuck with the database to invalidate everyone’s passwords every so often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another example of shrink flation... oh, my beer...⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a little embeddable mini-app that you can put on the home screen of your phone along with your app icons. For example, you might display the current weather on your home screen using a widget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Geometry Dash - Update 2.2 is out now!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like the changelog is on the Play Store, but there is no actual update yet. I didn’t even know that was possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's like everyday⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's like everyday⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s normal, why does it bother me so much? The feeling drives me absolutely nuts and I hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone remember anything about 2021⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked lockdown at first. I became severely chronically ill during lockdown, so I’m basically still in lockdown due to low mobility and it has gone from an introvert’s dream to a nightmare. I haven’t made any new close IRL connections in years and I can barely ever see my existing friends other than online. It feels like it’s been simultaneously an eternity and only a few months since lockdown started and my mind is deteriorating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Mass Effect Lead Forms New Studio To Make Narrative-Focused Games⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope that doesn’t turn out to be the case for the Blizzard people that left and formed FrostGiant. I want modern, snappy RTS!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its most common use case is interrupting games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t you just press shift 7 times and then click yes? What can you even do on a keyboard if you can’t do that? It seems like they intentionally made it easier to enable than completing pretty much any other task on a keyboard.
