I haven’t been horny since my early 20s
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 1 week ago:
Me too. Ironically I don’t like its default UI (supposedly its main feature), but after a few setting changes it is great.
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 2 weeks ago:
I actually find the new ones quite good at getting you started, with their dynamic tutorials (I started on 6).
I still missed a lot of stuff that took me several matches to understand, but it explained enough for me to manage the easier difficulties properly and as I learned more about it I started going over to harder challenges.
And even with a thousand hours on Civ6, I ended up having a very similar experience when I started Civ7.

I’m not sure if you two are just joking or if there’s actual some confusion here. What the guy in the video means by “before” the heart attack is before there’s any indication you’re gonna have one.
- Comment on German man says american are savages 2 weeks ago:
10 minutes still feel like a lot. I don’t think I ever had to wait that much for an ambulance. Though I do live in an atypical town.
- Comment on Is there a game that combines Civ with Sims? 3 weeks ago:
Rimworld feels like my kind of game but everytime I watch it’s trailer on steam I think “oh maybe it isn’t”.
Mostly the guns and stuff make it seem like it might not be the kind of game I expect.
- Comment on Is there a game that combines Civ with Sims? 3 weeks ago:
I have often thought about making a game like that. One of my main inspirations is “Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as A King”
- Comment on Anon likes Mario 3 weeks ago:
They aren’t wrong though. Mario 64 (and even Ocarina of Time too) were great because of how much they evolved videogames as a whole, but as pioneers they have a lot of flaws that game devs took a bit longer to figure out.
- Comment on Retro StarCraft prizes 1 month ago:
No, you would have sold it for a hundred bucks. And if you didn’t then you would have sold for two hundred. Or for three hundred…
Not having bought it that day is just one step of the ladder you didn’t climb. You would still need to not sell it every day since.

By the point you get to not worry about floods and droughts, unlocking the whole tech tree is also quite trivial already.
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 2 months ago:
I just meant that the intention behind my comment was not to attack Wikipedia in general.

Btw this is not an argument against Wikipedia in any way.

There’s a lot of misinformation on Wikipedia too, of many different kinds. Some smaller pages exists purely for someone’s PR. I’ve seen blatantly false (but “verifiable”) stuff too but the most common thing is to have pages that are just creative with the truth.
Also sometimes I’ll notice an article make multiple different claims that all point to the same source and then check the source and realize it is not a valid source for all of those claims, just some.
And also there’s stuff that gets flagged as verified based on extrapolation of data from a combination of sources. For example: one source says “John Doe facing 1 billion dollars fines if found guilty” and another source says “John Doe was found guilty”, then the article says “John Doe fined 1 billion dollars after being found guilty” as verified, then you go search the web and find no mention of any fines actually being issued following the verdict.

Too deep into the cult but to actually see him negatively, while seeing their whole life in shambles due to his administration.
- Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories 3 months ago:
I hate food. It’s hard to explain but it’s kinda like most food triggers my fight or flight response. It takes me a lot of willpower to eat through a regular meal. As a kid I was severely underweight because I was always avoiding food. When I moved out I took the easier approach and started eating only the stuff that was easier to eat (mostly fried and dried stuff, and some ultra processed stuff like chips and cookies). I went from one end of the BMI table to the other in ~5 years.
- Comment on Ron Gilbert cancels RPG project due to lack of support and funding 3 months ago:
No idea why you’re being downvoted, the guy who created Stardew literally had his wife take care of his whole life for him while he was working on it.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 months ago:
No, but life style changes may reveal you had ADHD all along and had just been lucky enough to be unaffected by it.
- Comment on If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving 4 months ago:
And modern medicine also slows it down further.

- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 4 months ago:
I want to answer Xenogears because of all of its story and storytelling, but the worldbuilding itself is kinda standard, if not for the scope of it. You do end up learning about pretty much everything there is to learn - the world and its history, the characters and what moves them, the politics, the conflicts, the geography, the physics, the religions, the supernatural, the origins of mankind - not to mention a full class on philosophy. And then whatever question you still have left, there’s a book about it in addition to the game.
And you start with a classic amnesiac character in a small village.
- Comment on On new installations, Android rebinds the power button to open up Google Assistant 4 months ago:
Not just new ones. Last month my mom asked for help because she could no longer turn off her phone. I checked the settings and the power button had been assigned to the assistant.

My rule for considering it a sport is: anyone should be able to play it if they have everything needed. It’s impossible to be banned from a sport (banned from tournaments is not the same thing) - if you want to play, you play. If you want to make custom rules just for you and your friends, you make them and then play. Nobody can own the rights to a sport (again, not the same as that sport’s tournament). No company can ever stop others from making money with a specific sport.
If you have any kind of ball you can play soccer. If you have anything that can represent chess pieces, you can play chess. If you have a kart you can have a race…
So can videogames be considered sport? Perhaps some can, but anything that requires access to a specific company’s private servers is out of the question. I’m not even gonna argue that the game should be open source, but at the very least it should have a way for anyone to spin up their own server for it.

Maybe I shouldn’t ask, but what are scalies?
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 5 months ago:
I’m Brazilian. For the first time ever, this month I started seeing ads from the US’ tourism department or something. I used to see ads from Brazilian traveling agencies that take people there, never ads directly from the US. I thought it was quite absurd to think anyone would be going there for leisure purposes any time soon, but turns out the idioms school a block from my house is taking people there every year and the 2026 group is apparently larger than usual.

Even the folks who bring out a guitar in every gathering they participate?
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 5 months ago:
Is that because we exist within a nut?
Or something like that, I don’t know. I don’t remember anything from the “the universe in a nutshell” book.
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 5 months ago:
It was nurses for me. Not necessarily attracted them, but like a third of my matches on dating apps were nurses. And I remember one of them mentioning that it seemed like every other guy she matched with was in IT (at the time I thought it was simply because dating apps were still kinda new around here and IT people were more likely to be trying it)
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 5 months ago:
I had a girl ask if it was OK to bring a friend once, I said it was fine. She ended up coming alone anyway.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 5 months ago:
It happened to me once. Then I started giving LLMs more chances afterwards and it made me waste a lot more than the time it had saved me with that one single initial success.

Nah, 99% Mint is only for old computers. If you have a good pc the recommendations change a lot.
