- Comment on Massively Overthinking: Is it possible to launch a new subscription MMORPG in 2025? 7 hours ago:
That’s likely what is preventing any new subscription based mmo. Why bother with a reliable and fair price when lootbox bullshit makes you 10x the money.

Which part? The ruler that can’t exist or the part where finished lumber is smaller than the listed size?
- Comment on Half of Young Men Would Rather Date an AI Girlfriend Than Face Loneliness or Rejection, New Report Reveals 6 days ago:
A large part is fear of rejection and you are paying for an AI girlfriend anyway, it gets pretty blurry.
- Comment on Half of Young Men Would Rather Date an AI Girlfriend Than Face Loneliness or Rejection, New Report Reveals 6 days ago:
Is it? Prostitution has existed since forever. Women as property is still a cultural norm in some countries that exist today. We are within living memory of marital rape becoming a crime in the US.
- Comment on YSK that if U.S. housing and U.S population projections hold, the Electoral College will shift further away from Democrats after the 2030 census. 1 week ago:
Each vote is approximately equal in the house which is the proportional body.

It has proportional representation, it’s just really big portions.

That’s actually a big number. There are people that haven’t seen CDs or DVDs.

In the US if you’re a white woman in cuffs they aren’t coming off. This is because you likely committed multiple felonies on film to even get put in handcuffs.

It’s not that crazy honestly. Fruit trees take even longer.

It’s extremely low maintenance once it establishes though which is nice.
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 4 weeks ago:
It makes a lot less sense when you could make assault rifles that never overheated
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 4 weeks ago:
The hamfisted explanation was also pretty bad as well. It’s not super believable that swapping heat sinks was superior.
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 4 weeks ago:
The first is very much a story first, combat second style game. I wouldn’t pick a “caster” focused character for a first play.
- Comment on One Angry Man 5 weeks ago:
Starship trooper is a knock off halo movie that’s more accurate to the franchise than the series.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US name this state? Are they stupid? 5 weeks ago:
It’s called the superior state.

There is also evidence that an out of court settlement happened between those companies. Notably moving away from cerebrates in SC2.

Probably, and piss would be way better in those bags than gasoline.

Cross platform games aren’t a buggy mess, everyone else has figured it out. Nintendo could do it as well.
- Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana 1 month ago:
Nintendo is heavily reliant on physical media and traditional retailers, they aren’t getting anywhere near 100% of most sales. Brick and mortar takes around a 50% cut, Amazon takes a cut as well. Being on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam isn’t a significant difference in what they would make.
- Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana 1 month ago:
They would still sell a lot of consoles, the super fans are going to buy Nintendo consoles. The people that actually own multiple consoles in the same generation aren’t actually that big of a group, especially compared to non-Nintendo owners that would consider buying a few games if they were available.
- Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana 1 month ago:
There’s a few titles that have relied on gimmicks that would be difficult or impossible to do on other systems. It would be a temporary learning curve to get games able to support multiple platforms, but everyone else has already done it and Nintendo consoles have been the least powerful systems so it should be easier.
- Comment on Used cars under $20K have almost vanished from the market 1 month ago:
There’s no sub 20k used cars under 3 years old because there aren’t new cars under 30k. That’s how math works.
- Comment on "Bringing your games to other platforms is how you’re going to win" - Circana 1 month ago:
How many people buy Nintendo for exclusives isn’t super relevant. The important questions are how many more games would they sell if they were multi-platform, and how many fewer consoles they would sell if their games were available elsewhere. They would very likely sell substantially more games, but also likely see a significant reduction in console sales. This would still likely be a win as the games are far higher margin than the consoles.

I wish there was one that didn’t require nearly every phone permission all the time.

Lots of breaches are entirely preventable, but lots of companies don’t like to pay for qualified employees that could prevent them.

Booby traps are a felony, so I’d stick to the one that doesn’t add manslaughter.

A crappy game for a crappy store.
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 1 month ago:
AI is a meaningless term as weli. It generally has meant cutting edge computer research subjects.
