Yeah now we can industrially extract all the remaining water from the air as well as the ground.
- Comment on BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered 1 week ago:
I doubt it in this case. He’s not holding onto any secrets that he might spill. Killing him is only to their advantage if it sends a message “don’t mess with us or you’ll die”. That works if he’s convicted and executed, that doesn’t work if it’s seen as “a company will just assassinate you”. They’d have to keep the assassination a secret, which would defeat the purpose.
- Comment on Yes, this is 1 week ago:
It’s always loss
- Comment on I probably interact with people who are at the pinnacle of their chosen skill but I'd never know because that skill isn't something that generates fame. 1 week ago:
On top of that even the most skillful singers in the world are most likely not the most famous. Becoming famous is a skill in itself, separate from the ability you’re famous for.
- Comment on College Thought Police 1 week ago:
As always the extreme right projects what it wants to do itself onto the so-called left.
- Comment on Anti-Hamas protests in southern Gaza enter third day 1 week ago:
No one in Israel (in power) wants a two state solution. Note that it’s zionist Israelis and not “Jews” in general that are to blame. But nice try anyway.
- Comment on LUPIN THE IIIRD THE MOVIE PV 2 weeks ago:
Love it. Always good to see an anime where the protagonist isn’t either an insane powerbeast chased by 20 women or a depressing sad sack inexplicably also chased by 20 women.
- Comment on What was she thinking when she did this? 3 weeks ago:
I dunno but I love it. Let your freak flag fly. Thinking everything is cringe, is cringe.
- Comment on Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration 3 weeks ago:
Yeah because working with Trump is what makes the company evil, not like, oh I don’t know, everything else they do.
- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 4 weeks ago:
The tiers work in the opposite direction though, only huge titles will likely qualify for lower % takes while indies barely scraping by are getting hit for the full 30%.
Again this is only a minor point of criticism, I love valve in general. But man it would be so easy to add something like a “15% on the first $50.000 in sales” exception, wouldn’t cost Valve all that much and would help small indie teams immensely.
- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 4 weeks ago:
Hey don’t mistake that comment for a defense of Epic. I am a fan of Steam in general (in so far as I can be regarding “license selling” companies.) I think Gabe did many great things for game distribution. I’m working on an indie game myself and if it ever gets to the point that I can release it, it will be on Steam no doubt. I do dread the day Gabe has to pass on the torch though.

Main problem: incredibly slow/unresponsive. Clicking things doesn’t give good visual feedback and can take forever for the underlying webpage to load/reload.
It’s designed as a webshop first and game library second (third, fourth?) Unintuitive UI, hard to search, hard to categorize, poor feedback on what’s being downloaded and why. Basically every quality of life feature from Steam is missing.
But to be fair it’s been a few years since I opened it. Might have improved a lot since then. I use Heroic these days. Also not amazing but at least it’s open source.
- Comment on Steam Survey for April 2025 results available, Linux sits at 2.27% 4 weeks ago:
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 4 weeks ago:
Man it’s a shame the Epic store sucks so so bad. I’d love to give developers a bigger cut. Steam is amazing but taking a 30% cut is a bit insane.
Still, having to struggle with the Epic launcher… oof. GOG’s isn’t great either but it beats the hell out of Epic still.
- Comment on Cyber Knights: Flashpoint hits Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam with a big new update live 4 weeks ago:
Looks like a good concept but man that UI is so incredibly busy and overloaded. Also feels like stealth is just a precursor to killing all the guards rather than the goal of the game. Are there any games like this in a cyberpunk setting that are more “pure” stealth like Invisible Inc?
- Comment on A Reply to the Coward Who Removed This Post 5 weeks ago:
Hell I for one don’t care what you write on your own computer screen but let’s not pretend obsession with other people’s genders is unique to “liberals”. You guys made it such a giant deal that you’re happy to throw the constitution on a bonfire to fight it.
- Comment on Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones 5 weeks ago:
Just install an OS that allows per-app microphone permissions. I’m running LineageOS and I can tell it for example to only allow Whatsapp mic access when I actively open the app. Actually according to the article, the same can be done on plain Android too.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 teases new creatures and co-op among the coral 5 weeks ago:
I understand why they’re going that way but Subnautica is such a quintessential single player experience. I hope they leave that experience the main focus.

Soon as corporations and “investors” provide their own wealth instead of extracting it from society.
- Comment on Egosoft reveal the big free Diplomacy update for X4: Foundations due out in 2025 1 month ago:
LOVE IT! One of my all time favorite games and it gets better every year. If you’re no playing this yet, get it! It’s regularly on discount, very affordable. And while the DLCs are great you can have hundreds of hours of fun with just the base game. Support this amazing company!

I don’t understand, if tariffs are so great, why not make it 100%? 500%?
