- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 3 days ago:
The Assassin’s Creed franchise nowadays seems more like one of those slushy machines at the mall that perpetually move the same ingredients around in a neverending cycle of despair and stagnation.

Don’t remember that dialogue, but the OP made me think of the Jamrock Shuffle (constantly running around town like a crazy person).
- Comment on A hypothesis 3 days ago:
I think this is pretty reasonable and shouldn’t be a hot take. IMO, what macOS does better is to provide a simple UI that protects less experienced users well enough from themselves while keeping developer tools accessible and close enough to standard Unix stuff. It’s easy to get into but not too hard to move past the basics once you need to. In Windows, I often feel like the opposite is true. The UI is a complicated mess of three different UIs that doesn’t even protect users all that well, and developer tools are often separate products with their own learning curve that are aggressively Windows-specific.

- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 4 days ago:
As someone whose first TES was Morrowind, it set the bar so high in terms of worldbuilding, I was honestly a bit disappointed with the later entries into the series. Oblivion (more generic fantasy setting) and Skyrim (nordic with dragons) definitely played better, but the worlds were much less unique and memorable.

Mass Effect completely blew me away when it came out. Loved the overall lore about the Reaper threat and how the different species were connected to each other.
Horizon: Zero Dawn was also great in that regard, and the world felt really well out together, even though the lore wasn’t quite as deep.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 week ago:
I feel like this is also a Gen Z thing. Millennials try so hard with everything all the time, Gen Z probably thinks that’s annoying (but maybe cute how naive and stupid we are to still try?). So “Ok Boomer” it is, which makes the exact effort to deal with boomers as boomers make in dealing with everything other than themselves.

Man, I hate these stupid jokes. Every time someone goes “statistically, one in three people is X, now look at the person to your left and right”, I want to scream “HAHAHAHAHAHAH SO FUNNY THAT’S STATISTICS FOR YOU AMIRITE” with an absolutely straight face. Bad enough they don’t know how statistics work, but they’re perpetuating other people’s ignorance on top of that.

Big city people: Boy, it’d sure be nice if there were fewer cars in the center of this big city right here, and more people would use the public infrastructure already at their disposal.
Country people: Some people don’t live in cities, therefore this statement is also about me! There tryin ta tek muh cur!

- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 4 weeks ago:
Had the same experience with Songs of Conquest. Beautiful game, but something felt off that I can’t put my finger on. The game felt really snowball-y, where your chances to win depend strongly on what resources you control early on, and the magic system (while interesting) felt really imbalanced. Nothing really managed to recreate the HoMM feeling for me.

- Comment on Or Library Genesis 2 months ago:
I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not wrong. Sci-Hub focuses on academic journal articles, which are a pretty novel phenomenon. The first journal was created in the 17th century, and journals didn’t become the primary medium for publications until well into the 19th century. I wouldn’t say academia is “biased” per se, but it’s true that the academic publishing business is heavily dominated by western companies.

I was going to comment that Library Genesis went offline earlier this year, but I’m very happy to see that I’m wrong and it seems to be back.

- Comment on Got a six-pack for me and the boys 2 months ago:
but i guess the 6 pack is the price of 5 cans?
That’s a standard method for hiding a price increase. You start with a pack of 6 priced at $5.99. You then run a “5+1” campaign advertising this special deal at just $5.49. Great value! Finally, you end the campaign and set the new price at $5.49 × (6/5) = $6.59. Doing it this way reduces profit for the duration of the campaign, but customers won’t be as angry as with a straight increase, because the actual increase in this method is the $5.49 for the 5+1, which doesn’t “feel” like an increase.
