- Comment on This Cyberpunk 2077 mod literally called "Weeee" lets you leave your flat via a big slide like a trash Batman 18 hours ago:
Walking around the building and taking the slow elevator down is long and tedious. This juat makes sense.
- Comment on How do I use Firefox and block YouTube ads? 2 days ago:
Every once in a while, Youtube makes some change to how they serve ads, and uBlock stops working for some people for a while. An update will typically come up pretty quickly that fixes this. Odds are tomorrow it will be fine.

That’s an assumed name though, it’s not her real first name.
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 6 days ago:
I’m pretty sure other scientists are also looking into that issueas well.

An alternative to.space junk clogging up the sky would indeed be nice.

- Comment on Dyson Has Killed Its Bizarre Zone Air-Purifying Headphones 1 week ago:
I hate the fan buffeting noise, and would be happy to have a fan that doesn’t do that. Not $500 happy, mind you.

Fill them with farts and then pass them around to friends.
- Comment on Help with Bambu AMS (retraction) 2 weeks ago:
Have you tried moving the spools around? Could be the AMS system is struggling with that one specific tube, or it could also be that the curve in the filament is making it hard to pull it into the extruder.
You could try feeding a lower spool into the tube that is currently holding the upper spool to see if that changes anything.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 2 weeks ago:
The easy way around this is to require passing regular fitness tests. If your obesity isn’t an impediment to the fitness test, then it shouldn’t be an impediment to your job.
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a misunderstanding. CRTs technically don’t have refresh rates, outside of the speed of the beam. Standards were settled on based on power frequencies, but CRTs were equally capable of 75, 80, 85, 120Hz, etc.
Essentially, the speed of the beam determined how many lines you could display, and the more lines you tried to display, the slower the screen was able to refresh. So higher resolutions would have lower max refresh rates. Sure, a monitor could do 120 Hz at 800x600, but at 1600x1200, you could probably only do 60 Hz.

The lack of ammo is solved with the chainsaw. That’s why they give you puny zombies in every battle. They’re easy to kill for a little health, and it only takes one charge of the chainsaw to fill up on ammo.
Doom rewards you for playing aggressively, much more so that the OG game did. They want you to get right up into the thick of it, not corner peek with your shotgun.
Definitely fair if that’s not your type of game though. It’s plays quite different from the original.

It took me a while to figure out how important higher level pictos are for their stat boost. Your base stats become basically irrelevant at one point when you can give a character 500 defense with one picto.

Sounds like Satisfactory might be what you’re looking for.

It’s very particular in its style and pacing. I liked it at first, but wasn’t able to stick to it. I’ll have to give it another go at some point.

deflecting the plastic while it’s still molten
That was my first thought
- Comment on ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN | Official Launch Trailer 4 weeks ago:
I watched a stream of it. It looked like a good time with friends in voice chat, but I wouldn’t want to play it with randos.
I also don’t think it would keep me hooked for very long. Probably a session once in a while. I can’t see myself playing dozens of hours of it.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 5 weeks ago:
My plumber told me never to use a plunger in a toilet, and to use a snake instead. The back-and-forth motion from using the plunger can damage the wax seal and cause a leak.

It’s got produce, bread, and meat highlighted for the bread knife.
The only thing I’ve ever used a bread knife for is bread.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
The bread knife has markers in the produce, bread, and meat sections
- Comment on The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May 5 weeks ago:
The third one is a significantly better game in pretty much all aspects.
The intro act is a bit of a grind, but once you make it to the main story, it’s really good.
- Comment on Why do they call it a corn maze and not a maize maze? 5 weeks ago:
A maize labyrinth would be better
- Comment on Reusing plastic lids/caps 5 weeks ago:
I can’t speak as to whether reuse is ok, but the tamper ring’s only purpose is to show whether or not the bottle has been opened. It doesn’t have any impact on the quality of the seal.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 1 month ago:
(Which from my perspective is very silly — what’s the difference between them making a kajillion dollars in the fall and them making a kajillion dollars in May?)
This “article” was written by a moron who doesn’t seem to know anything about the stock market. I guess it shouldn’t be too surprising for Bloomberg.
- Comment on Speedrunner already beat Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch 2 1 month ago:
I think those glitches work because some menu interactions slow the game down intentionally (for like half a second) and players have found ways of abusing the slowdown’s interaction with game physics. So I don’t think framerates are relevant to that, but I may be wrong about that.
Doom Eternal had similar glitches where the weapon choice menu slows time down to let you make a selection, and you can abuse that slowdown by spamming the jump button to launch yourself really high. I believe speed runners bind the mouse wheel to jump so they can super launch themselves.
- Comment on If you’re in the market for a $1,900 color E Ink monitor, one of them exists now - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
The article mentions another display with a 33 Hz refresh rate. But be aware that there would be significant ghosting even just scrolling a page of text, more so than even a measly 33 Hz refresh rate would lead you to believe.

Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. But I doubt it will get far, because too many of them profit off the current system as it is.
