- Comment on What are some mainstream game series where you really do need to start from the first game? 1 week ago:
After playing through The Witcher III a few times, I did a “lap of honour” run and played The Witcher I, II and III right after another with transferred save games. It is a nice feature sure but the impact on the playthrough of each single game is pretty negligible. Also, I liked the first part for being a solid crpg but I found that the second part often plays like a half baked prototype of the third part and playing through it felt more like a chore than a nice buildup to the great third part. If somebody wants to get into The Witcher, I would recommend skipping the first two parts and just simulate a save file if you want to influence certain prior decisions.
- Comment on Autotune is just a "beauty mode" camera for your voice. 2 weeks ago:
That was in fact the initial idea behind it and it was used like that for some time (pitch correction only) until Cher came along and started that stupid trend of deliberately misadjusting the plugin to make the voice sound super unnatural. I will never understand how that awful sound could become the norm and to me it still just sounds like someone fucked around with the autotune setup.

Yes, they have diversified. However, they initially moved into legal business to invest and launder the money from their primary source of income, drugs. So let´s start weakening them by taking that away.

There is one simple way to stop this. Legalize and regulate drugs.

- Comment on Magali Berdah: Dozens jailed in France's largest cyberbully case 1 month ago:
What material? How and when did she supposedly steal it? What exactly were the accusations made by Booba? How did she react when the accusations were made? The article raises more questions than it answers and that is exactly what I meant when I called it superficial.
- Comment on Magali Berdah: Dozens jailed in France's largest cyberbully case 1 month ago:
The article is very superficial, after reading it I still don´t even know why Booba was angry a with her to begin with. Anyone got the details of this story?

- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 1 month ago:
Who’s to say that the same won’t be true of TikTok
Who knows but we are talking about the negative effects TikTok has on society right now.
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 1 month ago:
I respect your opinion. However, I think you are missing the central point. Which -in my opinion- is that a social media platform that turns out to have extremely negative effects on society and especially kids, should get shut down. If it happens with intent or without is not particularly relevant as far as I see it. I apologize if my initial comments were phrased in any misleading way, I am not a native speaker so i sometimes miss the finer nuance of a formulation.
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 1 month ago:
What I mean is that Facebook for example is aimed at and consumed by older adults in the first place. Young people in fact see it as a boomer platform.
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 1 month ago:
By design. The format (short video clips) and the optimization for being used on phones (not computers) makes it attractive for kids.

Yes but unlike Facebook and other platforms, Tik Tok is aimed at and consumed by minors specifically.

Tik Tok pushes so much toxic content towards children and teenagers it should be shut down in my opinion.
