- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 6 days ago:
Moo2 was so fucking good.
I’ve tried many many 4x space games, but none have ever matched the joy that one brought.
- Comment on UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs 1 week ago:
The end game is probably sex isn’t legal unless married, but also, you’re allowed to marry 12 year olds again.
Then sex outside of marriage is isn’t legal.
All porn becomes illegal.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 1 week ago:
Practically no one in the world who accepts payments for their business directly integrates with visa or Mastercard. It’s all 3rd party companies who integrate (because it’s fucking hard and tedious) and then resell it
In almost all cases, any talk about payment processors, is them, not visa/Mastercard.
- Comment on Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about? 1 week ago:
Things are still happening, it’s just slow to adopt.
E.g.

- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 5 weeks ago:
Any of the games that aren’t fully on the cart, require a download to even function in the first place.
It’s looking like (TBD) that this is how a very large portion of the games are going to be delivered.
- Comment on Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want 5 weeks ago:
When the physical games require downloading to start using them, I think that starts crossing lines into bricking territory even if it’s not entirely accurate.

- Comment on What TV series has the best intro song or sequence? What TV series have the worst intro song or sequence? 2 months ago:
I recently rewatched it, and when I got to season 3 and they made it even worse by adding some more beats to it I was traumatized.

Money Heist and more recently Arcane League of Legends
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 2 months ago:
No the systemic problem is real, but I don’t think this one independent company has succumbed fully to it yet.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 2 months ago:
I think if it was really late stage capitalism they wouldn’t have fixed it nearly as good as they did and just called it a day.

Each book seemed longer and longer but each book took place over fewer and fewer days until it seemed like the last books you’d read a whole book about someone’s day. Then someone’s meal, then someone’s thought about a hill the looked at on the horizon.

- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 2 months ago:
That’s the exact kind of thing experienced developers want to do.
They don’t always want to just write easy code again and again. That can get boring and tedious. They want to come into a project with difficult problems and take ownership of them and resolve them.
- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 2 months ago:
I’m a senior mobile dev, and I needed a website for the app which I’ve never done before. AI was able to help me make one. Is it a well programmed website? Nope! Does it work? Yep!
With my knowledge I was able to troubleshoot problems the AI created, and fix things that came up, but it would have taken me so much longer to do that on my own, or I may have hired someone to make it for me.
- Comment on Krysten Ritter Officially Returning as Jessica Jones for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2 2 months ago:
So I read a bit about the making of it…
The middle was filmed first by a different show runner (eps 2 to 6) and when it was reviewed, something wasn’t sitting right so they brought on one of the original show runners.
They made the 1st episode setting it all up, and then added the last 3 episodes. Then they had to refilm parts of the middle to accommodate some changes.

Slay the spire is really fun and different than what you’ve listed.
It was the first rogue like deck building game. Fantastically done.

Can we skip the ones where he was just a sperm donor with no intention to be a father?
At least those ones don’t have a father and it was intentional…

Repeat.

You know those kids are pretty small as well, I’m sure they can work with chimeys a lot better than an adult.

- Comment on Marc Rober shows why Tesla's camera-only self-driving system is dangerous 4 months ago:
Ya AEB is an always on thing.
AEB might not always prevent a crash, but it should slow the vehicle at the very least so the crash has less energy.
You could have a system that never prevents a crash and you’d still get an insurance discount due to the slowing benefits.
- Comment on I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car. 4 months ago:
There was definitely a point in my career where I was making 50k CAD/year and it was a bigger change than my previous job when I went from 40k to 45k. I’m in a HCOL area.
I was able to have rent my own small 1 bedroom apartment (price has more than doubled since then 🤮), go on small little trips locally, finish paying off me debt, buy a few nice things, and actually save money.
Over the years my salary increased a lot as I retrained as a software developer, and sure, the money is nice and I can buy more nice things and save more, but the big change was at 50k when it finally felt comfortable.
If it was 50k then though, given rent increases and other cost of living increases, I’m not sure you’d get that same experience until 70-75k now though.

I got ya. This is all it says about her on that article
The actress stars in a buzzy new ad for Emirates Airlines where she wakes up from an awful dream of flying on a plane without luxury amenities, but in reality flying gives her nightmares. The nervous passenger leans on a preflight ritual to make sure any type of in-flight meltdown is avoided.
“If I walk onto an airplane, I always have to go on with my right foot first and tap the outside of the plane. I have always done it. For luck,” she says. “Someone told me to do it, and I don’t remember when that was. But it’s kind of stuck.”
