  Yeah it’s depressing, I’m amazed we’re getting anything good at all by this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes weed eggs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes my friend made this once and it was the most disgusting thing ever.
  Also so strong we’d have a shot and get knocked out.
  Could those two be related? We’ll never know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is, this is likely going to affect their sales to some degree.
  As a parent, you may have age lock on your child’s account, or search games by rating, or just not know what this game is when asked to buy it but judging by rating.

  I don’t know how significant of an impact that is, but it’s unfair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germ Blaster⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trouble is a lot of people are gross and will do the wroom wroom to make people think they washed their hands, or just wash poorly in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dislike two types of games the most: >!ones that make me replay the same thing and puzzles!<.
  (very minor spoiler)

  Outer Wilds is amazing. Top of my list if an alien landed on our plannet and had time to try one game only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AND THEY DIDN'T STOP EATING⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it can’t survive in today’s environment then yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Websites: Then vs Now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it may be subjective, but Internet was open to public in '93, and divs were specced in '97.
  It was more of a joke anyway. The layouts were often tables long after divs if I’m not mistaken

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Websites: Then vs Now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s not how I remember the early Internet.
  More like gifs everywhere, wild colours, you have to have that fancy html marquee! And terrible layouts, because aligning divs is difficult.
  Good times

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam store pages are now required to disclose kernel-level anti-cheat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone actually have a suggestion for a less intrusive alternative?
  Do you realise how difficult and ineffective server-side anti-cheat can be?
  Although it would be the only way to actually try and detect someone using a second machine for hacking/inputs.
  All of this will become an increasingly uphill battle for the devs.

  That season doesn’t exist and you can’t convince me otherwise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  64th million has finally allowed for the technology of having pets added to the game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is fair, it’s what cashiers are there for.
  I was referring to people who retort with rudeness to a simple offer of self-checkout.

  I usually go for the self-scanning guns with larger buys - I get to bag my stuff as I go and skip the queues and self-checkout bothers, so for me that’s a win win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but the argument is that this should go both ways.
  Ok boomer is hardly offensive, unless the target is found to be rather fragile

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people are too entitled and think everyone else exists to serve and fawn over them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pray for me lads, Imma about to rawdog this without back ups⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What a resource hog

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google now requires JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not up to you, or any of us.
  Not maintaining non-js version makes sense for the business, considering how few people are affected.

  All we can do is move away to something better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google now requires JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s far more than that. Even on a basic search page. Ever expanded the ‘Peaplo also ask’ section, for example? It loads more results based on your scroll position or interaction.
  There’s loads of little things like this, you may just not notice or care about it - which is another discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a werewolf kitten, you can’t fool me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a few centuries⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why did they not print the whole of ‘Affecting’ on a new line, that’s bothering me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lingering damage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Putting used oil into food when it’s not even good enough for frying anymore doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.
  Recycling is fair enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just had a DHL package today.
  I have a camera doorbell- very prominent on the door, and the button lights up as someone approaches.

  They just knocked on the door… I was lucky to have heard it this time, but come on…

  It does, look it up in the addon marketplace- been working great for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re still rubbing a conductor against a resistor - that will wear out due to physical contact no matter what.

  Calibration would be a good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They keep getting stick drift at insane rates (anecdotal evidence), which sony ensures is a great pain to get fixed, assuming you’re in warranty.
  Ive just replaced one stick in my friends ds5 with the hall effect type, which should outlast the rest of the controller and cost £1.50 (which I’m sure would be less wholesale).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses something⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hindsight is always 20:20.
  Just wait patiently for the realisation that’ll pop into your head 2 years later just as you’re falling asleep .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  UK here, no coins in any shop’s trolleys.
  I’m outraged at the number of people leaving carts everywhere. Do they have other people wiping their butt for them too? I don’t understand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jackhammer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The way senses are processed is almost unbelievable.

  When your eyesight is partially damaged (by a laser, for example), your brain will fill in the spots, so you won’t even realise there’s a problem until it’s too late.
  As the above stated, there’s a blind spot (although I don’t think it’s smack in the middle) - there are tests online you can try to ‘see’ it.
  Your sight also automatically enhances objects it thinks are important, e.g. a baseball you’re trying to hit.
  There’s also no colour in peripheral vision, although the brain does colour it in.

  Better yet - forward it to someone you hate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨August 30th 2024. America adopts the metric system. Never forget.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People be hatin but I agree. in instances where the only goal is for a human to read the date, dd-mm-yyyy or even dd mmm(m) yyyy are better UX.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well THAT'S super helpful! 🤦⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All too common, until I installed a camera doorbell.
