  They might if they’re really pretty, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Air fryers are simpler than you think, but still pretty neat [19:38]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that I’m aware of, no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conservatives look to end — or replace — Miami teachers union⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rational and rationale are two different words. This page gives some good examples for both: writingexplained.org/rational-vs-rationale-differ…

  I’ll take small menu ordering every time. If we’re all getting the same thing and the choice is quantity, it’ll likely be fresh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mask Quest - A Platformer Where You Have to Manually Breathe. Survive a Pandemic Lockdown, Escape Police Brutality, and Find a Surgical Mask.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  unique breathing mechanic, where you have to press a button to inhale and release the button to exhale

  I get that a satirical game about the pandemic probably just isn’t my cup of tea, but this breathing mechanic sounds like such unnecessary tedium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed to February 14, 2025, abandoning season pass strategy, Steam launch day 1, and more⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that users wanting a “feature complete” product at launch is seemingly news to them is absurd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any suggestions for spiritual sequels?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have any companies besides ubisoft used the term yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final Fantasy Creator Reveals Which Entry He Thinks Is 'Most Complete', and It's Not Final Fantasy 7⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it works great on mobile Firefox!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods of !news are now banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They added spoilers, but they don’t work on the boost app or some others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Everyone Conscious in the Same Way? | Simon Roper⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My partner has a similarly vivid visual thinking and a “crowded” internal monologue. They also have a hard time keeping focus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Everyone Conscious in the Same Way? | Simon Roper⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my lack of internal monologue and inability to visualize is why I’ve never been able to get into reading. I’m a little jealous when I hear people describe books as “like watching a movie in your mind”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Fallout: London’ Sets GOG Record, Gets Hotfixes In Big Update⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if they don’t actually “use” the DLCs, it makes sense to require the same content that the developer owns and used to test the mod.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch Patch 1.1 - Harbingers of Ruin | Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks really promising. I’m interested to see what QoL changes are coming for this cycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨building the modern country OFF GRID cabin of my dreams for under £8k⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it the nearly flat roof that makes you say that? It looks like maybe 4 inch rise across eight feet, so a 1:24 pitch. “Roof felt” was the only roof covering I saw. Oh and they lined up all the siding seams which probably isn’t great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dark & Darker is now back on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried this for about thirty minutes today. Seems like it could be good once there’s a little better guidance for new players.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you played A Plague Tale (innocence, then requiem)? It’s one of the best story driven games I’ve ever played. It’s entirely linear, so plot urgency doesn’t feel artificial like it does in open world games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's out now! The prologue for my solo project, a roguelike tower defense, is live. Check it out.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Played a bit and enjoyed it. I really like the concept of the first skill having way less cool down. I found the scaling information a little hard to follow. For example, skill does 1 + 20% (icon) damage. This could be improved by also putting the formula in plain language, i.e. “20% of elemental damage plus 1”.

  The auto skill feature could make this an excellent mobile game. I played with all my skills on auto attack and it worked quite well.

  Some of the stats could use some more explanation. Element and support were particularly vague. Also the first skill cool down stat, I had a hard time figuring out how useful more of that stat would be since the tooltip still showed the skill’s original cool down.

  Overall a really cool concept and implementation. Looking forward to playing the full release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nurses with an overbearing manager, how do you pass time at work without getting caught?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Keep in mind that nursing is a four year bachelor’s degree. There are other options, but the four year degree is most common in the US. That means many nurses chose their profession when they were just out of high school. Nursing being a stable, well paid, and highly in demand career is something that everyone hears about. Blaming nurses for taking that to heart and pursuing it as a career is questionable at best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conan just did Hot Ones⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  About two degrees hotter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Could? Sure. Should? Never.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grim Dawn - Grim Dawn Version v1.2.0.0 is now available! - Steam News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Last Epoch is another great option. It’s currently available as beta/early access but is fully launching in February 2024.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Why are TV Cameras still huge and expensive?"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How far back would you have to go for today’s phone cameras to compare to the big TV cameras? It seems like the latest and greatest will always be large, but the small cameras will also continue to improve over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brilliant visuals and growing pains: examining the first generation of Unreal Engine 5 games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  27" just feels like the right size for a monitor to me. Anything bigger and I’d have to get it further away from my chair somehow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Diablo IV is free-to-play on PC through Battle.net until Monday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good call. It’s in a very enjoyable state currently, but 1.0 promises to add so much!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Diablo IV is free-to-play on PC through Battle.net until Monday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out last epoch, too, if you haven’t already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Control Ultimate Edition on Steam | 75% off - 9,99€⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I absolutely agree. I liked a lot about this game, but not enough to actually finish it. Combat was just frustrating, especially going from feeling powerful to powerless seemingly at random.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting back into Last Epoch again. Really excited to finally have a launch date for 1.0 in February 2024.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch 1.0 launches Feb 21st, 2024!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  PoE is most complex, D3 is least complex, and Last Epoch is in the middle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Last Epoch 1.0 launches Feb 21st, 2024!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of it as a middle ground of complexity between D3 and PoE. It’s a ton of fun even in its current early access/beta state.
