• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was trying to figure out what they meant by swimming houses for a minute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even Capcom I’m not preordering. If wilds is getting good reviews a couple days after launch I’ll get it. (Even though I’m pretty sure it will be a good game)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2950: Situation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That won’t be till decades later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streets of SimCity 27 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was probably my favorite game as a kid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC fines Razer for every cent made selling bogus “N95 grade” RGB masks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like it, charge them more than what they made off of a dangerous product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The existence of Sloths implies the existence Wraths, Lusts, Gluttonies, Prides, Envies, and Greeds.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasps or honey badgers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2877: Fever⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s nice, but you still need to get out of the volcano.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  V rising

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of desalinization plants just release the salty brine back out to sea, it’s actually an ecological problem, so finding another use for it might convince them to capture and separate that for manufacturing uses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans slam broadband discounts for poor people, threaten to kill program | Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not always a necessity, but the opportunity cost of not having Internet can prevent you from meeting other necessities. For example, a lot of jobs require Internet to apply. Not getting a better job might mean you can’t afford food or housing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of Spider-Man remastered. I played it when it first came out on ps4, then lost the disc. The remastered version has the dlc though, so that will be new. Also a bit of ark survival evolved to date my creative gaming needs, and some terraria with family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the regulation. Take zoning for example, you definitely don’t want a bunch of kids or elderly people living next to dangerous factories, but the laws usually go too far and prevent corner stores in residential areas, or demand way too much parking. Regulation can be good or bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2862: Typical Seating Chart⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get cocky kid!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to talk in an American accent but how can I transition into it slowly for people who know me without them noticing a sudden change?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Two options, just tell them that you want to practice your American accent, or use it when you quote your friends. The second one works best if it’s close friends who enjoy making fun of each other a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Automakers must build cheaper, smaller EVs to spur adoption, report says⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Start small, deregulate zoning so people can build more dense housing, and small corner shops in residential areas, that way it’s not so far to go places. Support bike lanes so people can ride safely if they want to ride. Support work from home to prevent people from having to go anywhere in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll be able to play Remnant 2's new DLC with a friend who has it, even if you don't own it yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  MW5 also had that, only reason I played the DLC at the time because money was tight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It shouldn't matter if people work multiple jobs. The former VP of HR at Microsoft shares how to react to double dippers — 'get over it.'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If they can get their work done on time, and with appropriate quality, who cares? If they can’t keep up with the workload, then they can get in trouble for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in big budget games is inevitable, say dev vets from Assassin's Creed and Everquest 2: 'Developers hate it … the money is still going to drive absolutely everybody to do it'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it will never replace 100% of labor, but even reducing it by a bit adds up, and this could be a substantial amount.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game through the ears of Original Soundtrack?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  City on the mesa is my personal favorite! Also, looking at the album again, something needs to be said about how big that soundtrack is. It contains eighty songs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game through the ears of Original Soundtrack?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine are Subnautica, I’ve put myself in danger in that game just for the music. Honorable mentions include horizon (zero dawn specifically, but I am currently playing through forbidden West for the first time, so I still might prefer it), Halo(CE), and Skyrim for me as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in big budget games is inevitable, say dev vets from Assassin's Creed and Everquest 2: 'Developers hate it … the money is still going to drive absolutely everybody to do it'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ideally AI could be used to reduce the amount of work required to produce AAA assets, and allow that time to go back into quest design and world building. Or just reduce development time so we can get great games more often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IRS will pilot free, direct tax filing in 2024⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Four states signed up for the test, the rest “may be eligible” due to not having state income tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty fly for a Venn diagram⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But butter is the most likely to show up in the name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, I thought Dougs were the side characters from books who’s names are never relevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically you could shorten it the other way to Unionist. Which is likely to be confusing, but on the plus side might make some idiots mad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If number of undiagnosed neurodivergent people proves to be significant potion, neurotypical means just people who won the standards war of communication protocol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of neurodivergent traits seem to be sliders rather than buttons, where it’s only neurodivergent if the slider isn’t in the middle. I sometimes wonder how many people actually have all their sliders in the middle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney’s password-sharing crackdown has begun⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jokes on them, if (when) this reaches the US, I’m going to stop regularly subscribing. The only reason I usually have a subscription is for my nephews in another state. If I’m no longer subscribing for them, I’m just going to subscribe when a show I want to watch is on, so 1-3 months a year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space junk is on the rise, and no one is in charge of cleaning it up | There are at least 100 bags of human waste on the surface of the Moon.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not too worried about junk on the Moon, it’s not going anywhere. Space junk is an issue though, but it’s the objects in orbit that are the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You are getting down voted, but I definitely agree that most people should wait till they know the game is going to be good. A year after lunch isn’t a bad idea.
