Just stand near them and tell them you got the vaccine. The imaginary spike proteins will kill them because it gave them acute hypochondria.

The nerd himself did that to the franchise. Like Ewoks were added to sell more toys and then he made the Prequels which was nothing but corporate slop again to sell more toys.

Stop playing triple A games all together. They are all shitty companies who mistreat their employees.

- Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital" 3 days ago:
Try get your games pressed onto disc and boxed. Shit’s difficult as fuck and Sony hasn’t done anything to streamline the process and make it easier and cheaper. Even if you have the money as an indie dev you will basically be forced to go through a publisher and forgo a significant chunk of your margin to get a physical release and the margins are already a quite ways smaller than digital for physical releases. Hence why indie games rarely see a physical release on PlayStation. Sure only a minority of people buy physical but so do a minority of music consumers buy vinyl. Yet vinyl is thriving. Sony is the gatekeeper they hold the keys to turn physical games into a successful niche segment of the market like what vinyl is to music but they purposefully decided not to.

How did they get an EUV foundry? I thought ASML is the only company in the world that can make the machines and they aren’t allowed by the US to sell EUV machines to China.

I think it’s just placebo. It’s probably because it looks so close to a Rare FPS that my brain expects nausea and I thus get nauseous.
- Comment on Agent 64: Spies Never Die - Release Date Trailer 1 week ago:
Man watching the trailer immediately gave me simulator sickness. GoldenEye and PerfectDark always made me nauseous because of the low frame rate and the single analog stick controls. Guess my brain is still traumatized and watching something that looks like GoldenEye triggers it.

- Comment on Belgium national team's officialsocial media post after beating theUSA national team in the World Cup:"Overturn this" 2 weeks ago:
Let’s say the adult population is 250 million. 25% of 250 million is 62.5 million people. That is almost as many people that live in France. And way more people than Norway, Netherlands and Portugal combined. Yet these three countries have a world class national team and produce top players.
It’s not that not enough Americans care it is the sports college system for this sport doesn’t work to create elite players. I bet California has enough people interested in the sport to replicate the European promotion and relegation system for a comprehensive multi level amateur league system to produce top players. Like if a tiny nation as Portugal can do it a rich state as California with more inhabitants can probably do it too.

- Comment on Box3D | A revolutionary new physics engine developed by Erin Catto in collaboration with a Valve dev 2 weeks ago:
This guy made Box2D before, a high performant 2D physics engine that is free and open source and has been used in a shit ton of 2D games. So ofcourse devs are excited with this 3D physics engine. Yes it’s free and open source as well. It’s deterministic across different CPUs, which Unreal’s Chaos physics engine and Unity’s PhysX physics engine are not. This means that simulations with the exact same starting conditions will end up having the same result no matter the device the sim is running on. This a huge benefit for multiplayer games. And benchmarks say it’s performant. Someone already implemented it in Unity and it’s faster than the built in PhysX engine in most cases.
It’s basically a free alternative to Havok. Havok is also a high performant deterministic physics engine, but costs tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per game to use. Havok is what many triple A studios use in their games. Like Breath of the Wild uses Havok.

Okay it’s like watching a movie at the cinema and finishing it and then demanding a refund because it was only 2 hours.
No theater give refunds to people who have finished watching the entire movie.
- Comment on A site for making physical releases out of digital games 2 weeks ago:
Someone should make cases for mini NVMe SSDs to turn them into cartridges. NVMe SSD are technically plug and play and with an NVMe extension cable you could move the slot to the side or top of the case. Expensive as fuck to use NVMe for a single game, but much faster than SD Cards and they don’t wear down as fast and will retain the data longer when unpowered.

Even pressed disc can rot. Like many WB Blu-Rays were made with a faulty process and many will rot in the next few decades.
- Comment on Data from the 2023 Insomniac leak showed that most first party Playstation games sold more physical discs than digital copies 3 weeks ago:
Sony lost a shit ton of money from their live service games projects. Sony execs probably told the PlayStation division to find a way to reduce cost and control the damage or heads will roll.
