Came into a situation that was already solved and re-escalated it by shoving the player from the opposing team. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Also relative to (not around) the sun. The full rotation the earth does in a day is relative to the position of the sun. The absolute amount of rotation is different.
- Comment on Parenting advice 3 days ago:
Or maybe a stew that induces visual deprivation for a time period of 1 full rotation of the earth relative to the sun?

I also find them really helpful for falling asleep. Sometimes when I feel stressed and see mostly noise, I’ll try to spot the color shapes and focus on them. It’s kind of meditative and helps me fall asleep faster.
- Comment on Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes? 1 week ago:
This is just the result of neurons firing and chemical reactions taking place, and it’s normal. Personally, for me it depends on my state of mind when I try to sleep. When agitated, I see noise like in your picture. When calm, I see flat, colorful shapes with soft edges that float around and change shape more or less rapidly (kind of like a lava lamp).

I think it’s more about finding a picture with similar clothes. The fact that they’re obviously not the same people is part of the joke.

- 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 weeks 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 weeks 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.

The question was where, not what.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 3 weeks ago:
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 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on Bought to you by the central limit theorem society 5 weeks ago:
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.

- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 1 month 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.

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.
