  Every comment in these posts seems to be either “StarCitizen killed my family and dishonored my temple” or “can’t believe people let SC kill their family and dishonor their temple.”

  Same old hate without real substance.

  The video is a redo from the guy who did it live at Citizen Con, because the demo crashed when they were onstage.

  I liked it and am glad for the diversity it introduced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no problems with it, so I guess I’m some sort of savant? There is such thing as good and bad UI, but I think this is a case of ‘what you’re used to’ causing problems with ‘what is.’

  Finally, change I can believe in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All things serve the beam.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s funny, I thought the lingual drift of thank you was really neat as a detail. I forget the plates thing, though. Was that when everyone was getting their powers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, don’t care, I’m up voting anyway. This game is well done. I loved Gunpoint, I loved Heat Signature, and I’ve been really enjoying this one. Writing, gameplay, graphics… I’m a fan, for sure. The whole Defenestration Trilogy is worth it.

  I thought the Space Coast was blowing up

  Affordable where? I want to get out of this rental but I need to stay close to a big city.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Staggering Incompetence: Biden's Commerce Secretary Is "Not Familiar" With The Bureau Of Labor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  She didn’t say she wasn’t familiar with the department of labor, she said she wasn’t familiar with their report. What an idiotic headline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you feel like you're always being watched, can you really claim to have integrity?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you were the correct amount of high. It’s the only way I get that introspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay then, I’m being performative. I feel better about myself, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here's what a random person on the internet thought of Medal Of Honor Airborne⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great review, random person on the internet!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so weird that so many people are calling being accommodating in such a small way “performative” or whatever! I think some people just can’t handle change and blame others for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games popularized certain mechanics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Spider-Man games come close, but that first Arkham game was just so well done

  Oh boy! Can’t wait to experience the ramifications of this one!

  What’s next? Gonna try to recreate Deep Impact, just to see?

  Is this just an advertisement for his new book?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Went to r/conservative to see how they're doing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to stop in from time to time to get a really good smh in, and I was never disappointed. I’d be interested to see a real screenshot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can somebody explain to me why this needs Bluetooth?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Serious answer: it’s a “smart” urinal, in that it can report usage statistics, alert maintenance staff to problems, and be remotely controlled.

  If you’re in the facilities maintenance business, Bluetooth-enabled equipment can be a good way to get an operational technology network up and running without a lot of costly retrofit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are my standards for women to high?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That standard is fine. Leave the rest out and do things you like in social settings and bip bop boop, you’ve found somebody who’d rather be with you than at a club, even if all you do is watch anime, or she sits on the couch and watches you play video games. Be open to your ideal looking different from what you expected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are my standards for women to high?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anime and video games to the exclusion of everything else? Are those the only two options? What about reading and movies? Or knitting and podcasts?

  If all you do is look for reasons not to date somebody, then that is all you’re going to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are my standards for women to high?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You asked, I answered. Do you want to know what people think about your standards or not? I agree with your friends. I’m not equipped to help you demystify your feelings towards women, but I think a good place to start is by examining why these things are such deal breakers to you. Is the presence of these qualities the only things you find attractive, regardless of any other factors? Because that’s not how people typically view attractiveness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are my standards for women to high?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It sounds like you’re talking about the features you’re on the lookout for in a used car, which comes off as creepy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of conjecture incoming:

  I’ve asked myself this same question, and coming from a military background rather than anything more typical, I think it coalesces as something altogether different depending on the situation.

  When I was stuck on a ship with hundreds of others, underway two or three weeks out of every month, 6 to 8 month deployments sprinkled in just for fun… Hard not to come out of a situation like that with some lifelong friendships.

  On the other hand, in the years when I wasn’t on a ship, almost regardless of the work, even if we were friendly during the day, when the time came to go home it was like cockroaches when the lights come on.

  I’ve come to the conclusion all these years later that it was some combination of shared hardship, forced closeness, security in employment, and a core belief that we were all working toward the same goal. We were in it together, and it felt like it.

  Social relationships come from everywhere, even work, and while there are many people who worry that friendships at work will distract from… I don’t know… There are still plenty of people out there who want to make the day go by a little faster by working with a friend.

  Maybe it just comes down to people not being committed to their work, because why would you be? Sticking your neck out, working extra, helping others, etc. are punished in a lot of different little ways, to the point that the best alternative is just to hop between jobs, staying one step ahead of accidentally giving a fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I’m not sure I understand how that makes it useless. I get the feeling that you just want to feel smug, so if it makes you feel better go ahead, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So Far, AI Is a Money Pit That Isn't Paying Off⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Going to have to disagree with you there. I’ve gotten plenty of use out of chat GPT in multiple scenarios. I find it difficult to imagine what exactly you think is useless about it because it seems so indispensable to me at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'I am horrified': Archaeologists are fuming over ancient human relative remains sent to edge of space⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Having only recently seen the show, can you point me to more information about Lee Burger? Is there an agenda there beyond trying to make money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Short answer is yes. I’m not a fan of open-world games, but being able to drive around in my customizable war machine was pretty badass and I ended up 100%-ing it, which I normally don’t do.

  For what it’s worth, I liked PS4/5 Spider-Man and didn’t like Breath of the Wild, if that gives you any idea of my mindset.
