Yeah it actually looked worse in person than I expected.
It looks like how a caveman would draw a car after only seeing them on a Playstation 1.

Oh god flashbacks to the Overcooked ice level while drinking.
So many chefs died that day.
- Comment on The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook 2 weeks ago:
I get that they’re successful, and it’d be fantastic if this became the trend. But Battlefield and Call of Duty sell consistently with much less development effort and a lot lower risk of flopping.
It looks like Call of Duty is typically 3 year development cycles, and one took only 1.5 years. Baldur’s Gate took 6 years.
- Comment on Tesla seeks to award Elon Musk $56bn pay package | BBC 3 weeks ago:
He’d have to work 3.7 million years of 40 hour work weeks at US minimum wage, $7.25.
Pretty well highlights the insanity of $56 billion.
- Comment on The increasing distrust many Americans have in modern medical advances is probably mostly due to our failing Healthcare system. 3 weeks ago:
With the joy of high deductible health plans you can pay thousands of dollars in network, because they can get away with it.

This seems like a situation where being untrue in just one case makes the fact totally useless.

Well let’s not go crazy here.

5 generations to fish. It seems your family reproduces once every 75 million years on average.
That feels higher than usual for humans/fish.

It’s conveying incredulity, not a question.

I want to live on a planet where people don’t associate Elon Musk with technology in any way.

Same with Spongebob. I understand Squidward now.
- Comment on No tip 2 months ago:
I’m not sure how I made it “nobody’s fault”. It’s the corporation’s fault for low wages, and the government’s fault for allowing them to do that.
- Comment on No tip 2 months ago:
It sucks that low wage workers are stuck in the middle, but corporations are also relying on customer guilt to pay their labor costs while posting record profits.
It’s not really fair to blame the customer for that.
- Comment on those damn vegans! 2 months ago:
I absolutely agree, eating meat should count as eating at least one salad too.
- Comment on Air Canada must honor refund policy invented by airline’s chatbot 2 months ago:
I smell a new “AI insurance” industry! Get a nice new middle man in there to insure your company if your AI makes a mistake.

I hope she reads this.

Sir, for the 5th time nobody asked you to shit your pants.
- Comment on Amazon accused again of overcharging shoppers with Buy Box 2 months ago:
Exactly, that’s what I did. Removed it from my cart and waited an hour and suddenly it was a little cheaper.
I have no doubt there are bots monitoring to get every cent out of each transaction, knowing that people probably won’t care about small changes.
- Comment on Amazon accused again of overcharging shoppers with Buy Box 2 months ago:
Unrelated to this claim, but I’ve also noticed really rapid price adjustments of a few cents on products.
It seems like Amazon raises prices frequently based on what’s in carts and how many page clicks it gets.
A $6 item changed from $5.95 to $6.05 to $5.98 in a span of an hour.

- Comment on "Cheaters never prosper" is a lie that a cheater probably came up with 2 months ago:
Sure you can alter circumstances to an extent and that’s probably the best way to live life. But all the good in the world doesn’t stop a freak accident like a car crash killing you or being struck by lightning. And while being struck by lightning is used synonymously with an act of god, I don’t think it actually means you deserved it. That’s the issue with the just-cause fallacy. It takes a huge spoonful of selection bias to only notice the people who did deserve it.
In my opinion the idea of karma is a convenient crowd control mechanism to prevent people from taking action to fix their situation when they have faith that the universe will magically balance itself out.

I love the mental image of someone looking you dead in the eye as they hand you a gift that says “Need a gift idea?”
- Comment on Paris votes to crack down on SUVs | Non-Parisians will be charged almost $20 per hour to park large gas or hybrid vehicles within the city center in a bid to address pedestrian safety and air pollu... 3 months ago:
I don’t think some millionaire earned a 2x chance to kill a pedestrian by being able to pay. I’m not a fan of fees that only apply rules to poor people.
But outright bans are harder to get passed, so fees are better than nothing.
- Comment on Greta Thunberg: Case thrown because of 'no evidence' 3 months ago:
How would this make them think twice? There weren’t any consequences for them for unlawful arrest and they still got to inconvenience protesters.
- Comment on Outrage as Oklahoma Republican’s bill labels Hispanic people ‘terrorists’ 3 months ago:
It’s definitely “and” of the conditions. But that’s not the point.
Why can only hispanic gang members be domestic terrorists? Why wouldn’t any other ethnicity of gang members be considered domestic terrorists?
- Comment on Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off 3 months ago:
I don’t find it hard to believe that the cost of making AAA games no longer matches the standard game price nowadays, because the typical $60 price hasn’t changed in at least 20 years. Publishers have used a lot of alternatives to recoup that like launch day DLC, deluxe editions, and microtransactions.
I honestly don’t mind deluxe editions with cosmetics for that reason, if someone wants to pay $100 for some extra outfits that’s probably the ideal scenario for everyone.
But I agree that Ubisoft’s insane DRM practices aren’t the right solution to that problem.
- Comment on Noooooo 3 months ago:
I feel like they’d be rendered playable.
Their normal speed makes it random chaos of running into stuff. Underwater would be a nice pace to navigate.
