- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 2 days ago:
The vast majority of my favourite games have been listed, many multiple times, so I’m gonna go with some I didn’t see, though I didn’t look exhaustively, here we go:
Quite a hidden gem in my opinion, almost no one I mention it to has heard of it. 2D platformer with an amazing story and some interesting gimmicks. One of the most surprising and unforgettable indie games I’ve played.
Ninja action-platformer that is way more than it first appears if you stick with it. Hilarious writing, great controls, and amazing music. Genuinely one of my favourite games.
Almost entirely unique in it’s idea. It’s a pinball-metroidvania where you’re a postman dung beetle, and it really works. Gorgeous world, super chill vibes, clever puzzles… What metroid prime pinball should have been.

Still super common in Australia.

That’s what I use, it’s still just using other search engines to get results though.

I assumed you had 2 points, the self hosting point about what you’re saying now, and
“keep in mind that its goal is not to help you but to have a conversation that statisvies you. You are basicly talking to a yes-man.”
about its ability to be a good therapist or not in general. I was responding to that. Sorry if I misunderstood.
- Comment on The therapy I can afford 2 weeks ago:
Therapy is more about talking to yourself anyway. A therapists job generally isn’t to give you the answers, but help lead you down the right path.
If you have serious issues get an actual professional, but if you’re mostly just trying to process things and understand yourself or a situation better, it’s not bad.

You literally said you “view the population”, as in everyone, a certain way based on this.
You then admitted it’s not the majority.
That’s about as racist as you can get.
Calling a country fascist for having fascist people in power is not the same thing.

While it isn’t technically to do with the game, (this isn’t a big spoiler but you never know I guess)

people went insane over the technoblade reference and it was honestly a nice gesture.

Yeah I’ve been to my cinema a ton and every movie I’ve ever been to they leave the lights dimmed until the credits finish (basically lights off during movie, dimmed during credits, fully on after). They’ll also wait until everyone has left until they start cleaning.
This one they immediately turned the lights on fully (even before the first after credits scene that is almost instantly) and came in to start cleaning up, because it was so much worse than normal they needed that extra time.
- Comment on Minecraft movie spawns ‘annoying’ cinema trend that viewers claim ‘ruins’ the film 4 weeks ago:
Then a year later they’ll fire those extra people and add the cleaning duties to the regular staff while not paying them more or reducing the ticket prices.

You’re entitled to your opinion. As someone that is a fan of both and played both extensively my opinion is they’re about on par with each other, with is “decent but not amazing”, “I wouldn’t actively tell anyone to avoid it, but I’m not hassling people to go see it either”, and, “I didn’t feel I’d wasted my money entirely, but I’d have been just as happy to see it at home later on”.

It’s better than the trailers made it look. It’s not a master piece, but I went in expecting to be disappointed and was surprised. It was decent. On par with the Mario movie overall.

My son got invited to a birthday party for it. Theater was 90% 5-12 year olds. This really did happen. In Australia where I don’t usually see this kind of thing, even when I’ve heard about it for other movies.
A guy that looked mid teens literally yelled “shut the fuck up!” at one point which just made them all laugh and go more crazy.

- Comment on Least extreme biophysics phd 1 month ago:
I disagree and think you are getting too caught up in semantics in this case. Can I put cats and mice in separate rooms, with the intention that the cats can find a way into the other room, and claim I am only doing an experiment on the cats, even once they get through and start killing the mice?
What if I had a woman take some kind of drug during the first 3 weeks of pregnancy, with the explicit purpose of seeing what it does to the baby when it’s born. Can I say, no, no, I was experimenting on a woman and a zygote/blastocyst, not a baby!
You don’t get to just remove yourself from the result. If he did something that made the baby be born in a way that’s different to how it would have been born, in my mind that is a direct experiment on the baby, just via indirect means.
You can say the title isn’t specific enough for your liking, but by my standards it isn’t wrong or misinformation. He conducted an experiment that directly affected the lives of babies. That IS an experiment on the baby, regardless of the method used to perform the experiment.

You’re not wrong, I just can’t be bothered. I like to just treat it like a console where it’s just a one and done new one every X years.
- Comment on Anon builds a new PC 1 month ago:
I put away $10 a week and do this every 8 years. I don’t even notice $10 a week missing. I don’t care if it’s over kill or wasteful at that point. Probably would have just wasted it anyway.
I also spend the whole 8 years making up random builds that I know will be obsolete by the time I actually buy it.

Wrong. The act of living in the USA at all is agreeing to recognise their laws and processes. You sound like one of those sovereign citizens that think they can get out of arrest/court/prison by “not consenting” to it.

I don’t think Lemmy was really big enough to have THAT many bots. And at least of the ones I saw, if they were bots they’re doing an incredibly good job of making them blend, since many had a history of generally normal commenting before that time, and have continued posting normally since.
- Comment on mass 2 months ago:
I really like this example too:
- Comment on That explains a lot 2 months ago:
Sure, but it won’t sustain itself at any mass. A black hole with a mass of 500,000kg lasts about 10 seconds and is harmless. If you managed to compress 300,000,000kg into a black hole you’d have it last about 100 years and it would still be too small to do any damage to the earth during that time.
You’re correct there’s enough mass in the solar system to create a self sustaining black hole though. Anything around the mass of the moon or larger we should worry. A black hole the mass of the earth would definitely be self sustaining.

- Comment on Infinite Hotel Paradox 2 months ago:
The rooms are all full by definition. You’re literally telling him to walk until he dies. Just kick him out at that point, hell shooting him on the spot would be more merciful.
But the weird thing about infinite sets is they don’t process over time as we perceive it. Things happen all at once. There’s a classic situation where an infinite tub is filled with an infinite amount of numbered balls, and for every number that goes in, it’s square root is taken out. So when 1 goes in, 1 goes out, when 2 goes in nothing happens, same with 3, when 4 goes in, 2 gets taken out, when 9 goes in, 3 gets taken out.
How many balls are in it at the end?
Intuitively it seems there must be infinite balls, as balls are being taken out at a slower rate than they’re entering. But the actual answer is 0. Because the process happens all at once. So the question becomes, which balls get removed in this process? Well, the numbers that can be squared. Which is every number. If every number can be squared, every number gets removed. So if this infinite process were to play out, there would be no balls left in it.
But if we were to try to physically do this, it’s impossible for it to actually play out. Infinity isn’t a number at the end of a line, it’s the concept of an entire unbound set. That’s why things like the hotel are good to try to explain and visualise the concept, but break down if you try to imagine them as real world places that follow time and physics.

There are infinite types of infinity. Crazy right?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Letting them pass. If it’s a 4 lane highway get in the right lane and drive a speed different from the car next to you.
So, slow down? If it’s a multilane road they’re going to overtake. And I think it’s disingenuous to assume they’re choosing to go under the speed limit in the fast/over taking lane.
Based on context its far more likely this is happening on a single lane road, which, generally speaking, you’re more likely to drive near the speed limit on anyway. And I’d rather someone tailgate me at a low speed than a high speed, if they’re going to tailgate either way.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
let them get away from you if you value safety.
And I do that by… Speeding up?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
If someone is driving recklessly or tailgating they’re the ones creating the problem, not the person choosing to respond by slowing down slightly. Driving 2 mph under the speed limit isn’t exactly grinding traffic to a halt. If someone is driving dangerously around me I’d rather force them to slow down if it makes things a bit safer.

Sure, but there comes a point where you either believe it, or you believe that there’s a “world government” running the shots, telling every single country to teach the same wrong scientific facts, and literally NO ONE has ever fact checked anything or been a whistle blower about it.
