- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 week ago:
It’s tragedy of the commons on a supermassive scale. No one comes out on top in the end, the overprivileged just take a little longer to die. But die they will.
- Comment on Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior' 2 weeks ago:
Billionaires, royalty, that thing works on anyone really.
- Comment on Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior' 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 2 weeks ago:
I have like 3K, if you come up with the other 19997000 we’re golden.
- Comment on Caveman technology 2 weeks ago:
The wifi naturally accumulates in underground spots.
Or was that radon? Always get those confused.
- Comment on Sweden says China denied request for prosecutors to board ship linked to severed cables 3 weeks ago:
Funny that they think they ultimately have a say in the matter. Maybe they should ride Putin’s dick even harder and start a trade war. If both Eu & Us pull for the same team, china won’t be abke to get rid of their subpar crap anywhere.
- Comment on Vehicle plows into crowded Christmas market in Germany, killing 2 and injuring dozens 4 weeks ago:
Perp is apparently a psychiatrist. That’s an… interesting background for something like this, to say the least.
- Comment on Dragon Age The Veilguard Head Won't Reveal Sales Numbers Of Game 1 month ago:
That bad huh?
- Comment on oh no 1 month ago:
Demodex, the gift that keeps on giving.
microscopically poops on your gd face, sleep tight
- Comment on Just a little guy 1 month ago:
If you put it to your ear, you can hear the sound of yourself screaming.
- Comment on Garter snakes 1 month ago:
So just like hognose snakes?
- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 2 months ago:
There could be (rare) upsides. If they go through with 50% or higher tarrifs, electronics prices in EU might come down due to dumping.
- Comment on Casio made an Oura Ring alternative that's everything but smart 2 months ago:
Seems rather bulky for a ring also. I wonder if it snags on a lot of things while using your hands normally.
- Comment on In general, people on Lemmy don't want high effort or high quality posts that take longer than 30 seconds to digest. 2 months ago:
I’m planning to make a “comeback” of sorts once I have better pictures to post. Until now it’s been cell phone pics, the next batch will be high res macro images with a sigma lens.

I hear you. I tried to get the ancient coins sub off the ground for months by posting elaborate pieces and links to relevant articles etc…
No engagement whatsoever. I could’ve “posted” this to a local file on my pc instead of Lemmy and it wouldn’t have made any difference.
Still not going back to Reddit though.
- Comment on Matt Gaetz !?!?! REALLY !?!?! 2 months ago:
Those underaged prozzies weren’t all that keen either.
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard's impressive tresses feature '50,000 individual strands per character for over 100 hairstyles' 2 months ago:
So this is what they spent development time on rather than gameplay and story. Figures.
- Comment on What good thing just happened in your life? 2 months ago:
A “good” thing from a bad thing: my 6 year old computer monitor decided to croak today. As it’s currently black friday deals, I managed to order a new one fairly cheap-o.
- Comment on Warcraft Rumble, Blizzard's first new RTS in years, will finally shed its mobile shackles and come to PC in December 2 months ago:
No thanks.
- Comment on burden of knowledge 2 months ago:
As one of the few people on the planet who has never played it, this makes it infinitely more intriguing…
- Comment on topical 2 months ago:
More specifically, my life.
- Comment on University to cut 137 academics due to $35m drop in international student enrolments 2 months ago:
Cutting admin instead of profs when?
Oh right, never. Every school needs a 100+ admin team, 15 teachers will suffice. They even buy their own materials, so no costs there.
- Comment on The midlife crisis is not universal: Study of thousands of people in rural communities shows that many do not experience a slump in well-being during their forties and fifties. 2 months ago:
Well fuck. Guess I’m one of the “lucky” ones.
- Comment on I can imagine the "will you be using the mobile app?" question to get cheaper food is going to devolve into the Mark of the Beast and someday no one will be able to buy anything without using the apps 2 months ago:
The mark of the beast was fiat money and we’ve been using it for a while.
- Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus. 2 months ago:
Pretty much for form I suppose, there are other ways to get those drivers.
I’ve been in a few online games with RU players and it struck me as so weird to be playing a game with someone from a nation we are basically at war with. Major WWI Xmas football vibes.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 is coming in 2025 with four player co-op - here's the announcement trailer 2 months ago:
Agreed. I have zero issues with actual horror games but diving into the dead zone or below the magma caves hits differently. Seeing a leviathan dive up from the abyss is… chilling, even after maby times.
The reapers I could get used to, but damn…
- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 2 months ago:
Drew Karpyshyn really knocked that conversation out of the park. One of the very best scenes in gaming history.
See, that is why you’d want actual authors to do your game’s story for you…
- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 2 months ago:
I would take 100 mosquito bites over one tick. One of the only creatures in nature to scare the hell out of me. And I own snakes.
- Comment on Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild. 3 months ago:
It was two movies Frankensteined into one. The first half is awesome. The second, not so much.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 3 months ago:
True, but that power is also diminished greatly as more and more regular users abandon the site. No eyes on the propaganda makes it worth a lot less.
