Going to let an unannounced games rumored genre ruin your day?
Gamers need to set a better image of themselves.

Love my plushie, haven’t played but maybe 3-4 hours since acquiring it a decade ago, still have the plushie though.

Man, I was taught “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” but you’re burying it by it’s genre, I hope you can experience new things once in a while .
- Comment on Deactivating Facebook for just a few weeks reduces belief in fake news 3 days ago:
I’m convinced those who want to be fearful of things will immediately latch onto a new source of misinformation.
This isn’t to say Facebook is good, or that we shouldn’t try to have stronger punishment for misinformation that leads to public harm, just that “people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals”
- Comment on Favourite controllers 1 week ago:
I’ve had 2 “Xbox elite” controllers, both of them have had problems with sticky buttons. Annoying beyond belief. The regular Xbox s controller works better than either of the elites did.
That said my steam deck is my favorite controller when I need a controller.

Project Orion is a bad idea??
Just don’t start the nuclear propulsion until you’re outside of earths gravity well…
- Comment on Hades II is now available in Steam Early Access! 1 week ago:
With fully mapable controls on the deck I hope to avoid this, but as I get older I find myself needing more and more assistance XD
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 2 weeks ago:
The tears of people subsidizing my having never watched an ad (by having premium) fuels me for this week. Bring on the disagreement, but this is going to be a hard week, I’m going to listen to 2-3 hours of YouTube a day, and never have to pay attention to it to skip an ad. And my cats will listen to it ad free all day when I’m not at home.
Same with the dozen podcasts I listen regularly.
- Comment on Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? 2 weeks ago:
No, because words that use repetition of the same series of letters requires a delay between each letter input, is was especially annoying when in the pocket because if you were going too quickly it was very easy to place 1 letter that was a combination of multiple letters.
Heavily rose tinted glasses you have there.
Also enjoy the 50 pixel per inch screen resolution, scroll-everything navigation, terrible Internet browsing, no video streaming, and incredibly proprietary (if any) internal media player. I’m not saying the swipe keyboard hasn’t begun becoming enshittified (which auto completes and is a brand new term) and it’s slightly annoying, but I would take today’s phone over 10 years ago, and 10 years ago over 20 years ago (even a full keyboard BlackBerry, or a t9) any day of the year and twice on leap day.

You’re not too far off with the essence of a couple of them, I’ll give you props for coming up with some very silly ideas,
- Comment on Forget billions of years: Researchers have grown diamonds in just 150 minutes 2 weeks ago:
Much more frivolous.
- Comment on How does DNA decide the shape of the body? 2 weeks ago:
I would start by looking at plant genetics, if you think about it they; are simpler to understand, they never stop growing (expressing those genes), are much less specialized (cells cannot just be told that they are certain organs because of their surrounding cells, if a root penetrates the surface it no longer needs to be a root right?) actually has more factors in deciding how to specialize (animal cells only need to orient themselves up once, plants cells are constantly orienting themselves, both against gravity, and the wind, and sometimes in response to other plants, these things all have generic controls).
Plant biology is a great stepping stone to a lot of what you’re looking for.
DNA is like the secret recipe at KFC (except it has 40 spices with names for 64, but quite a few of those names are homonyms for the same spice, and 3 of those spices aren’t spices but instructions for when to stop adding spices), with a, millions of peoples rely on it, from cashier’s and cooks, to janitors franchisees, CEOs and builders, some of these are more hands on with the recipe, while others are way down the line, but none of them have ever seen the recipe first hand. The DNA is kept from harm by being hidden away where only DNA readers and multipliers have access to it, everything that is produced by the DNA gets (this metaphor is so tortured) broken down into what spices are needed in which order, the spice mixers and bakers are pretty damn familiar with the instructions, those would be RNA and proteins, but just because they get good instructions doesn’t mean they’re free from outside influence, they’re outside of the vault after all.

In the future (probably in the next couple years) after a company I with with release their product, I’ve learned of the stupidest use for diamonds you’ve never heard of, I’ll drop it here in whatever announcement package they release.

I will never unsee Gomez throwing his whole hand into the snap. Lurch has a bit of wrist flick, but Gomez is going whole enchilada, I wonder if it’s his fingers snapping or his wrists.

Any home or average home value? Either I think there are so many more regarding the prior, or I’m amazed there are so many if the latter

Yeah, Trump is going to be much better on dealing with genocide, but wait I’m just a Biden shill impacted by TDS, it’s the system we live under and it won’t change from the top, encourage ranked choice voting at the local level
- Comment on Ah, Yes! AI Will Surely Save Us All! 3 weeks ago:
Thanks, I thought that was the “doki dori literature group” (spelling?) (a game I hadn’t played but know of), was it co-opted or were there always 2 meanings, or did the game play off of the community?
- Comment on Ah, Yes! AI Will Surely Save Us All! 3 weeks ago:
If it didn’t they would be legislating against it.

My wife was thinking between the Rivian s3 and the Fisker as our next vehicle.
This makes me sad to hear.

I’m 20 minutes away from multiple population centers, in Bay area California, and on a good night I get 4 mB/s download. We need public energy and data ASAP, private oligarchs are fucking us over so hard.

- Comment on Overwatch 2 story missions future uncertain after January layoffs (according to ex-devs) 1 month ago:
Burned all of my rope with the battle.net “2.0” complete with Facebook integration, rmah, “get the game for free with a years subscription to world of Warcraft” and killing deckard Cain in act 2 of D3 (along with ACT 1 being the only ACT with any love put into it, and that being the entirety of the demo, also pretty clear that’s when Activision bought blizzard)
Never played any of the sc2 expansions, never watched another blizzard tournament, never bought a wow expansion (after TBC), I lost a lot of really great memory associations, but the nostalgia isn’t worth supporting the corpse-puppet of blizzard.
