Nice! Just yesterday I found this amazing video about boobies and tits: youtu.be/JJ9IcKpfe8M

Don’t underestimatate it. It can ruin fans!
- Comment on Switch 2 pre-orders will prioritise players with the most Switch playtime 3 days ago:
As much as I hate Nintendo that seems like a good move to prioritise their best customers while combating skalpers.

Honestly, you sound like a boomer complaining about the youth. Language changes and evolves all the time. Older generations can’t keep up with the change and think it’s ridiculous, unlike the slang they grew up with, which is bitchin’!
They don’t overuse it as much as you demonstrated. And with time some of those words will get lost and others will enter wider usage.
Just enjoy the ride and see where it takes you.

Get yourself a broker to do the selling for you.

It’s supposed to be an exchange between the public and artists. The overall purpose is to increase the amount of art available to everyone. Artists get legal protection for a limited time to be able to monetise it. And in exchange the public gets full access to the art after that time is up.

Try to automate updates as much as possible so that new security bugs get fixed quickly.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 4 days ago:
Me too. Though I’d say we can substitute any locally available video renting store with Blockbuster. So it would only be 1 point.
- Comment on Are color palettes subject to copyright protection? 5 days ago:
In Germany at least it’s not copyright but a thing called “taste patent”. As far as I know it can cover colors, shapes and probably literal taste as well. But it’s not automatic like copyright. It’s more similar to trademarks.

- Comment on Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me? 1 week ago:
Now that I think about it, the marvellous thing about BG3 isn’t just the acting of the main characters but of the minor NPCs as well. It shows an unprecedented attention to detail and love and care.
I think the only “bad” acting I encountered in the game was that one kid who was apparently voiced by one of the staff’s kids. And that’s only because the model looked too old, for which I suspect that the kid chose their own model.

At least Silent Hill 2 was great as well. Lae’zel’s actress Devora Wilde actually did some mocap for it. She did some Maria and some of the monsters.
She’s streaming her own playthrough on Twitch. It’s hilarious and painful. BG3 was the first video game she’s ever played since the Sims back then.
But yeah, they really upped the game. And apparently they got Liv Tyler interested in doing games as well.
We’re really living through the time gaming is growing up.

Just ask your family. I recently started collecting art and photos of my grandma and my relatives got me many old pictures.

Studio Ghibli was very good in portraying disgusting pigs as just that.

The thing about science vs bible is this, if all human knowledge got lost today we would eventually find all the same natural laws we found until today. But the same wouldn’t happen with the bible, it would be lost forever.
To really find out why evolution is real you would have to study biology to understand all the evidence beyond a superficial level.
- Comment on How can I decide on who and how to love? 1 week ago:
To the question in the title: No, you can’t. That’s actually a philosophical topic on free will. You can do what you want but you cannot will what you want.
You can gaslight yourself to some degree but that’s all.
As for the rest of your post:
- Comment on Do animals think we're cute? 1 week ago:
When elephants look at humans the same regions in their brains activate as when they look at baby elephants. So they probably think we’re cute.

- Comment on Junk Store: BIG update on what is next 1 week ago:
It’s the integration into the Steam interface. So you could manage all your games through one interface.
It could have compatibility with everything in Steam, including achievements. But as long as it’s closed source I won’t touch it.

- Comment on Maybe time travelers actually exist and this mess of a timeline is the result of their interference... 1 week ago:
I think we’re experiencing quantum immortality.
You can achieve quantum immortality through this experiment: Play russian roulette with yourself for as many rounds as you like. In the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics a particle takes up every possible position of its wave function in parallel universes. Since you can only experience a universe in which you are alive you will experience those where the particles aligned for you to win russian roulette. Of course everyone else is more likely to experience a universe in which you are dead.
Now, with all the crises happening in the last century it is exceedingly likely that a world ending event happened. Since we cannot experience those universes where they did happen, the universe we do find ourselves in is getting more and more unlikely. More and more ridiculous.
Of course the most ridiculous event was the killing of Harambe, dooming us to the worst timeline possible.

- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 2 weeks ago:
Diablo and Diablo 2 (not Resurrected)
I think Diablo 2 even came with an extra disc specifically so you could give it to your friend to play via LAN. Then these fuckers removed the option in Resurrected even though they promised they wouldn’t.
StarCraft and the old Warcraft games work via LAN as well.
Quake, Doom, Unreal (Tournament), Half Life
