- Comment on 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames 2 days ago:
You have a point but the cost of Paradox DLCs FAR exceeds the development time most of the time. You really have to do your research before buying anything
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 3 days ago:
I received a Tikom vacuum as a gift and was so sad to see I couldn’t installed Valetudo.
On the plus side, it works with no connection and so it’s only slightly less covenient to just…press the button on the vacuum itself when I take my dog for a walk. Gotta dump the tray from last time anyway
- Comment on Portable watering station suggestions? 5 days ago:
About 15 of them are on the same watering schedule. With a table I can water like 6 at a time, let it drain, then come back for the next set
- Comment on Portable watering station suggestions? 5 days ago:
I have some for the larger plants but I’ve got some hanging plants and a lot of small ones with tiny trays that only give you so much leeway on overfilling. Also no guarantee all the soil will be soaked!
I don’t have a ton of experience but I have a 100% success rate this way. I’m not quite at the experimentation phase of plantkeeping, I just want to stick with what I know works
- Comment on Portable watering station suggestions? 5 days ago:
I’m really bad at judging when to stop and have killed a few plants from overwatering without drainage. I haven’t lost one since I started flooding!

If there was a toilet right there, do you think they would still choose the wall?
Have you ever been around drunk tourists before? The answer is yes

One of the worst parts of it is that Scooby Doo has had tons of successful series and they’ve all been pretty good. Yet they somehow managed to fuck this up despite it being an incredibly simple formula for a show.

- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 6 days ago:
I agree there’s definitely excessive hatred toward it, it’s just hard for me to see it as anything other than deliberately pushing people’s buttons. It does not accomplish their stated goal, it’s just annoying to read.
I was going to compare it someone mumbling so “the hidden microphones can’t understand” but even that has some merit.
Now I feel like it sounds like I’ve got some vendetta against them…I don’t mean it that way. I’m just ADHD overexplaining.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 6 days ago:
Nahh, l33t was a subculture thing and it was popular within its community. Using it on a general forum (like Lemmy) would get you more shit than this guy’s getting. Probably some slurs thrown your way, too.
They are the one being antagonistic here by using a “style” they know annoys most people.
I think they just get off to farming the downvotes.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 6 days ago:
I’m not into antagonizing him for it but I am blunt about it. That user has been made aware that it makes their comments harder to read for users AND that it’s not poisoning AI but they do it anyway.
It’s not a big problem but I’m not gonna pretend like it’s a neutral endeavor when the only thing it does is diminish other users’ experience

This is the answer. If you flick as much water off your hands as possible into the sink first, it takes like 10 seconds

I played this game last year and enjoyed it. Might have to give it another spin
- Comment on Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three? 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t realize nigrig was (really fuckin obviously) racist until way late in life because the people I heard use it weren’t outwardly racist and pronounced it like “ne-grigged”
- Comment on No, commuters of Bus Bound's Steam Next Fest demo, I will not stop publicly transporting you to the scene of accidents 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I didn’t have any issues with them until recently when every other outlet started copying it and they seemingly cranked it to 11 in response. They’d work great as taglines but I prefer descriptive titles so I don’t have to “figure out” the topic. Feels antithetical to the purpose of a headline
- Comment on No, commuters of Bus Bound's Steam Next Fest demo, I will not stop publicly transporting you to the scene of accidents 2 weeks ago:
I wish they DID trademark it so half the gaming news websites didn’t follow suit
It feels very…corporate. Forced casual

Why can’t RPS write a normal headline for once

I would say that any deaf-from-birth person who ever regularly interacted with hearing people would know they sound a certain way

It’s not a language thing, they do it to be quirky…
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 3 weeks ago:
Whole lot of really serious replies but I think it’d be better to spin your original statement as a joke/exaggeration/misinterpretation"
“I love my job but let’s be real - if I didn’t have bills to pay, I’d be chilling on a beach instead!”
“I love working here - but my role specifically. I’m very happy in my position and don’t see myself as CEO one day or anything.”
- Comment on Move Fast and Break Nothing | Waymo’s robotaxis are probably safer than ChatGPT. 3 weeks ago:
Sure. But it’s not like the technology they developed is useless outside of an autonomous city, I’m sure they went into it knowing it would never be implemented for real.
- Comment on Move Fast and Break Nothing | Waymo’s robotaxis are probably safer than ChatGPT. 3 weeks ago:
Years ago, Microsoft was doing some R&D on autonomous vehicles in a mock city built for it. Instead of each vehicle doing all of the processing, the fake city was built with wireless markers to GIVE the car the information. Like instead of having to “see” a stop sign, the stop sign told cars it was there.
It would be complicated and expensive to implement on a mass scale but I thought it was a really cool idea.
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 4 weeks ago:
Got any workshop recommendations? I tried a few right after beating the game but found them lackluster. I’m guessing there’s a lot more now
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 4 weeks ago:
Each level has multiple things to steal/destroy but once you pick up/destroy the first thing, the alarm goes off and a timer starts.
The gameplay is mostly setting up the heist. You break holes in walls, build bridges, set up chain reactions, etc to find a route that picks up everything and escape in time. You have limited ammo but you get unlimited spray paint to mark the path for yourself
I know some people hate it but my only complaint is that some of the DLC is pretty meh. Base game is a blast, though!
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 4 weeks ago:
I feel the same way but mainly I don’t like playing “wait and think” games online because of the pressure
Teardown is a fun single player heist game, not that you asked for suggestions. Kind of want to play it again now hmmm…

- Comment on Costco Confirms It's Removed Xbox Consoles, Calling It A "Business Decision" 4 weeks ago:
My friend’s dad owns a business (trade work, not even selling products) that has contracts with both Costco and Amazon and said the same thing. For Amazon at least, he can’t send proposals or bills - everything is done through an Amazon vendor portal. And he gets paid every time he crosses a threshold, not per job.
When you’re that big, you can just make everyone follow your rules.
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 4 weeks ago:
Not only is it still running on private servers, those private servers have the blessing of the original devs. If I’m remembering correctly, they even provided the admins some dev tools and code
