- Comment on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf set to arrive by next March, according to report 1 day ago:
When was the last really good game from EA and Bioware? Yeah.
- Comment on Discovering what this man has done has ruined my day 2 days ago:
“You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about this guy, the more I don’t care about him.”
- Comment on Russia blames 'hostile' Baltic countries for split in relations 4 days ago:
“Why don’t the other kids like me?” said the bully. “I’ll show 'em!”
- Comment on Found this great deal on a new chair for my living room. Almost 50% off! 6 days ago:
But is it really bondage gear if it doesn’t hurt your wallet?
- Comment on We can dream right 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, Bloomkamp is one of those good directors that mistakenly think they are also good writers (See also: Zack Snyder, M. Knight Shyamalan).
- Comment on epidemiology 1 week ago:
There was already an outbreak of thousand year old Anthrax from thawed animal corpses in Siberia several years ago.
- Comment on Recognize the mother of Wifi 1 week ago:
He did a TED talk in 2010 and there are several articles about him. Not much news in recent years, I guess he wasn’t very succesful in turning his motion control concept into a viable product. I interviewed him about eight years ago.
- Comment on Recognize the mother of Wifi 1 week ago:
Shout out also to John Underkoffler who was the technical advisor on Minority Report (and later Iron Man). The gesture controls in that movie heavily inspired the first smartphones.
- Comment on I agree 1 month ago:
I love this moment from I think it was the Golden Globes as the host made a joke about him.
- Comment on Netease announce Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play 6v6 shooter that desperately wants to be superhero Team Fortress 1 month ago:
The only surprise is the inclusion of Galacta, daughter of Galactus. Talk about obscure. Wouldn’t the Grandmaster be a much more logical choice for the person controlling the battle arenas?
- Comment on No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul 1 month ago:
I fully expect Light No Fire to be a reskinned No Man’s Sky on a single planet with a fantasy coat of paint (and I look forward to it!), and all features they are still adding to NMS to be in LNF as well. Quite clever IMO.
- Comment on *So far* 1 month ago:
Cat poop coffee is still the grossest food. Well, maybe this one cheese with live maggots jumping into your face while eating it has it beat.
- Comment on Snikt 1 month ago:
In the comics, Magneto rips out his skeleton at one point. After which Xavier telepathically lobotomizes him. And yes, although Logan nearly dies, he grows a new skeleton including bone claws. His healing factor also goes into overdrive since it doesn’t have to fight against the toxic adamantium all the time. It makes him grow more feral too, until writers decided it got too stupid with Logan talking and acting like a caveman so he got the adamantium back.
- Comment on Spider cats 1 month ago:
There is a very cool sci-fi novel called Children of Time in which jumping spiders are accidentally uplifted and evolve into an intelligent species.
- Comment on Study: Dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27 billion years old 1 month ago:
Don’t forget to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!
- Comment on Gaslighting 1 month ago:
He was also deeply paranoid and delusional, since he was high on speed most of the time. Don’t see “blindly supporting police” in his works actually, any form of authority is usually portrayed of having bad intentions. Although his protagonists are often some form of cop, they are usually in conflict with their colleagues in some form.
- Comment on mycology 1 month ago:
I always liked the theory that fungi are actually aliens that came from some asteroid from another planet and have just been around long enough that nobody bats an eye at them anymore. I mean, look at slime mold and tell me that not basically Venom!
- Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts 1 month ago:
15 percent for banner ads is actually pretty good.
- Comment on Thank me later 1 month ago:
Mad Cock Disease.

Looks like someone needs a trip to SPATULA CITY!!! youtu.be/4BUDwj_mXKE
- Comment on AI model recommended Black defendents 'be sentenced to death' 1 month ago:
Even worse, train AI on how humans act on the internet.
- Comment on You don't get to lead a holy war in Dune: Awakening, but you do have to think about religion 1 month ago:
I mean, yeah. That’s probably exactly what they’re doing. Licence games usually don’t really have a very big chance of being actually good.
- Comment on The First Dune Game 32 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective 1 month ago:
I know the second is the groundbreaking one, but I always had a soft spot for this one.
- Comment on Alan Wake 2 is Remedy’s fastest-selling game yet, shifting over 1.3m copies, but hasn’t made a penny of profit 2 months ago:
That’s such a pity, I love their games and hope there will be a Control 2 one day. The first one is probably the best adaptation of the SCP idea that we will ever get.
- Comment on I hate my mind 2 months ago:
That’s unclear. It could also be the last member of a race of sentient hands saved by Gomez or something.
- Comment on GOP warning of 'national security threat' is about Russia wanting nuclear weapon in space: Sources 2 months ago:
They are trying to create the narrative that Biden is helping Putin too because Trump so obviously does it. It’s whataboutism.
- Comment on Culkin 2 months ago:
Honestly, knowing that, she actually doesn’t look all that bad.
- Comment on Does Germany’s economy need more than a cup of coffee? 2 months ago:
This is what over 3 decades of almost uninterrupted conservative leadership gets you.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 3 months ago:
I mean it also fucks up the city of you kill the pillars.
- Comment on And this is why I no longer have cable. 4 months ago:
It’s so cheap to produce that it doesn’t need as many people watching it to be deemed profitable. And many people watching it probably just let it run in the background because it doesn’t need any close attention. Basically like soaps, but soaps need writers so are more expensive.
