- Comment on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
I’m cautiously optimistic, but prime is made by a completely different developer than dread so there’s no guarantees, unfortunately
- Comment on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is coming to VOD next week 1 week ago:
In fairness, Furiosa flopped pretty hard. It wasn’t making much in theaters anyway.
- Comment on Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit 2 weeks ago:
They’re referring to the other 3/4 of managers & hr who responded that they didn’t want employees to leave because of return to office policies.
They, apparently, genuinely believed that rto would have some tangible benefits, or were just trying to make their employees lives harder for a laugh, and didn’t expect it to affect headcount at all.
- Comment on Anon knows what he likes 3 weeks ago:
The overpriced part is a (relatively) recent development, but point taken
- Comment on What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men? 4 weeks ago:
The most direct I can think of is that men should be the sole breadwinner of their family, and that if his wife earns more than him (or even has a job at all) then that’s some kind of failing on his part.
There are many other similar stereotypes. For example:
That men have an obligation to defend their/their significant other’s ‘honor’ with violence.
That men shouldn’t cry or otherwise show strong emotion under nearly any circumstance.
Men shouldn’t want to interact with children, especially other people’s kids.
I can go on all day.

- Comment on Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden 1 month ago:
That was 8 years ago. There are people voting this year that were 10 when Trump entered office. Idk about you, but I wasn’t paying much attention to politics in middle school.
- Comment on Anon has a quantum computer 1 month ago:
I’ve never understood what counts as ‘observing’ in this context… Just looking at the thing, perhaps with some kind of microscope/tool? Does it have to be a person who observes it? How about a dog? Or a paramecium?
I think I’m missing some important piece to this.
- Comment on Draw your own conculsions 1 month ago:
And it’s a hard sell to get a girl at a bar/club to come back to your mom’s house.
- Comment on Whoops 2 months ago:
Not always a choice we get to make, but I see your point
- Comment on How's that IP goin'? 2 months ago:
Extremely volatile, as anyone expected. Since they started the IPO at $34 things aren’t going bad at all so far.
Give it a year, and we’ll see what the company’s actually worth.

Most people just don’t have a 12" dong.
The others take Poseidon’s kiss as a compliment.
- Comment on Does anyone wish they could go back to the beginning of schooling and re-live their education/school experience from the start? 5 months ago:
If I get to keep my memories and personality from now… Maybe.
It would trivialize most of the coursework and I’d be a lot more confident in general… But
It would be difficult to be an adult trapped in a child’s body. People would notice how much of a complete weirdo you are. I think at most I’d go back to my freshman year of college.
- Comment on If only it was like that 5 months ago:
I love how half this thread is solely comments making unit conversions.
Also 77°F/25°C is pretty mild. A crisp mid-spring day. -American Southerner
- Comment on If only it was like that 5 months ago:
Depends entirely on where you live. Surprising what people will accept as normal when their gas/electric bill is on the line.
- Comment on If only it was like that 5 months ago:
Why not? Most people only meaningfully engage with temperature scales when checking weather forecasts. It’s all pretty subjective.
If course there’s a need for Celsius or Kelvin in scientific applications, but that’s not for the overwhelming majority of people.
- Comment on If only it was like that 5 months ago:
There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant
- Comment on If only it was like that 5 months ago:
Isn’t basing a temperature scale on the freezing and boiling points of water a bit arbitrary in and of itself?
The reason they are arbitrary numbers in Fahrenheit is because they weren’t considerations when the scale was made.
- Comment on Should I quit my monthly expenses for alcohol? 7 months ago:
They’re paying $7k/month for a gym membership. Bad math is the joke.
- Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it? 7 months ago:
Yeah, I hear you. It was a slog getting to the end. Frankly, I don’t think anyone should feel bad about just reading a synopsis and skipping to the sequel.
- Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it? 7 months ago:
Alan Wake 1 and The American Nightmare follow-up. I’m also playing through control again now.
I wanna catch up before going into AW2, but I heard American Nightmare isn’t cannon anymore so that may have been a bit of a waste of time.
- Comment on SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck' | PC Gamer 7 months ago:
You mean dual boot for the steam deck? Iirc the new OLED model will allow custom bios/firmware so that could be a possibility soon
- Comment on SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck' | PC Gamer 7 months ago:
If you mean the old Debian based one, yes. SteamOS 3+ is arch based and released with the steam deck. Valve said they’d release a version for desktops, but have yet to follow through.
- Comment on SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck' | PC Gamer 7 months ago:
Not exactly. There’s the old Debian based version and a user edited version of the deck’s recovery image. The latter gets you pretty close to the experience, but as with most arch based distros it’s not always a super user-friendly experience.

I mean if sneaking up on people with your dick out is ‘hitting on’ people the sign me up
- Comment on Intel's New GPU Drivers Boost Performance Up To 750% in DX11, 53% in DX12 7 months ago:
I’ve heard this so many times. If they were all true the a770 on the shelf in my office would have created an AI singularity. Alas, on the shelf it stays. Maybe a second generation will actually have most of the bugs hammered out and be performant enough to rival AMD and Nvidia
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 8 months ago:
Has anyone in any country ever been incarcerated for misgendering a trans person? Is there even a significant number of people who seriously believe that would be an appropriate response?
Nope.
Just come out and tell us about your victimhood complex, Joanne.
- Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"? 8 months ago:
This is one of the reasons Americans will often identify themselves as a citizen of their state or even city. They say they’re Texan or a New Yorker, for example.
It can come off as conceited, as it’s not reasonable to expect non-Americans to have a perfect knowledge of US geography, but it helps the sentences flow and is more accurate/specific than just ‘American.’
- Comment on That time they decided to blow up a dead whale on the beach. 8 months ago:
I don’t understand why they didn’t come at high tide and tow it miles out to sea using a couple tugboats.
Cuz we want big boom
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 9 months ago:
I’ve got ~50 hrs in game.
I’ve had 1 full crash, and a good handful of NPCs running into walls or levitating through ceilings.
Performance is fine, I guess, but I got the game as part of a promotion while upgrading my graphics card so it had better be. I believe folks who say it runs like dog on hardware that’s only a couple years old. It’s apparently unplayable if installed on a hard disk instead of an SSD.
All in, it’s the smoothest Bethesda launch I’ve ever seen (I skipped fallout 4, maybe it was better IDK) but that’s honestly not saying much. It’s way better than cyberpunk was at launch.
