As a counter example MonsterSSS has a lot of fun.
- Comment on Vibe management 1 week ago:
This is what happens when you reward people based on token usage. People no joke can just put in before every PR “review every detail, be very thorough, make sure it fits into everything, check for every possible undefined behavior etc.” while giving the model a massive doc with list of all files in the project.
Not even sure if they check the prompts because “review formatting of the entire codebase” is also super heavy in a large repo but if prompts get checked it’s an obvious token sink.
The model will just ransack the whole project every time through the whole stack when you could enforce a contract with a couple of tests with strict input validation.
Uber has the dumbest AI policy in the industry.

Gold price would lower until it’s the same price as it costs to mine and bring it to earth, if that’s at all lower than whatever it’s currently.

Not putting the egg in cold water after boiling it and then blaming the egg really smells like a skill issue.

- Comment on What's your favorite band? (Of frequency that is) 2 months ago:
I like drum and bass so it’d have to be bass but subbass under 200Hz plays a very important supporting role.

Try salt and lime/lemon or try putting it on bread with some type of meat.

Yeah, but the landscape is pretty harsh for AA games right now. They could easily milk the IP they already have.

I would buy a shadow of the colossus remaster and pay for a DLC for more bosses.
- Comment on Anon finds a glitch 3 months ago:
For fun I’m going to explain why. So air can hold some amount of water in it at any temperature. Water energy in form of heat is not evenly distributed so some molecules move faster than others, at the surface some move fast enough to escape the water and into the air. That’s called evaporation, boiling does however require 100°C.
This also explains why humid weather affects evaporation (lower capacity to hold water in air) and at high humidity there’s an a similar chance of water being deposited to the body of water as water escaping which affects evaporation speed a lot.
Honestly, I really like this quality of water, it would be super annoying to deal with otherwise.

It reminds me of this one. Sure you could make a case for selection based on breeding qualities but that’s a huge investment for just looking good. I think this guys take is more plausible.

- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 3 months ago:
Just as a side note that gas power plants capture two types of energy, both the expansion of the burned gas and the heat. This is why they’re now more popular for new builds than oil.
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 3 months ago:
I’m pulling this from some random place in my head but horses have a strict hierarchy. There’s a head horse that runs first and people became the head horse. This is in stark contrast to zebras that don’t give a shit and cause chaos.

I’m sometimes surprised of how few people play indie games. I’m playing Neon White now and having a blast.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 4 months ago:
Yeah, anything that prevents the financialisation of residential housing floats my boat. In Iceland we have big corpos selling each other houses at over market price to increase the average m^2 price in an area. It’s pretty bonkers.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 4 months ago:
Residential housing shouldn’t be owned by corporations. It should be built by them and then sold to individuals.

Yeah, I still remember hearing distant screams slowly getting closer and being “Oh shit” about seeing a headless guy with one bomb in each hand.
- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 4 months ago:
I was in denial about being autistic for around a decade after I first had suspicion because of exactly the reasoning you provide.
To provide some insight to my experience is that I had to manually decode all the non-verbal communication with logic while keeping track of the verbal stuff and monitoring my own expression back when I was masking. That shit is exhausting. Masking isn’t just picking a personality to wear based on the occasion, it’s doing that while it doesn’t come naturally and consciously tweaking behavior. Jokes on us, we give of the uncanny valley vibes when do that because it “feels off”.
If there’s something loud around me I will intensely try to hear what people say to me but I just can’t because the surrounding is louder.
I was so bad at throwing and kicking balls that I was made fun of despite actually practicing both football and handball.
I went to sleep scared for a long time because I imagined people breaking in because of slightest squeek in the house.
It’s also hard to explain how easy it is to have conversations with other autistic people vs normies.
- Comment on Games then vs now 4 months ago:
This is such an immersion breaking aspect of modern games and an absolute garbage approach. They’re idea is to not break the “flow” for the action players but for players that like puzzles it’s absolute horror. They just need to add during new game a “Puzzle hints” menu with Normal, Low and None.
“That rock looks fragile”, “Have you seen the rock next to the windmill? It has cracks in it”, “What if we shoot the rock with the ballista?” at those points I just want a “Shut up” option.
If I can’t figure out the puzzle myself it removes all satisfaction from solving it. I want to be confused, open up a journal that I need to skim through to get relevant information and then put the pieces together.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 4 months ago:
No, I wait 3 years usually. All bugs fixed, everything works, mods in great shape and price down 50%. Plenty of games older than 3 years also and much lower hardware requirements.
I made an exception for Elden Ring last time but that’s about it.
