Ah, procrasturbation.
- Comment on Is it possible to 3D scan a motorcycle helmet and make smaller replicas? 1 week ago:
It’s definitely possible. Depending on the budget, you can take the helmet to a professional that does 3D fabrication.
I’d say the first step should be to find a local maker space and see if anyone there can help you. Most will have 3d printers, and some might have 3d scanners. If they don’t, maybe someone there personally owns one.

Why do kids like you always have to make things generational??
The irony of this question is painful.
You just complained about what younger people do, and then you complained about being called out for it bevause someone “made it generational.”
You made it generational.

Why do you care so much about my bacteria now? Is there something going on between you two?
- Comment on 100,000 Ecuadorians protest Canadian mining project threatening key water source 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but 14 million tons of gold, silver, and copper. Surely the people being poisoned would agree if they understood how much money that meant, right?

Are you trying to convert from Rosen to Einstein to Bose to HDMI? I’m pretty sure you’ll lost a ton of signal quality from that many conversions.
- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it was in 1.0 but definitely before the final version. I tried it before 1.666 was around and chose to play keyboard only.
- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 2 weeks ago:
Mouselook was an option, but since the engine didn’t have any options for looking up and down, it always felt weird to play with a mouse.
- Comment on The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini 2 weeks ago:
You can get map markers very early into the game. Basically from the first time you meet the mapmaker some 30 minutes into the game.

I hate uppity humans.
- Comment on Uh Oh: Nintendo Just Landed A ‘Summoning’ And ‘Battling’ Patent 3 weeks ago:
Patent laws in Japan don’t work the same way as they do in most of the world. And they can only enforce their patent on companies operating in Japan.
The whole Palworld situation was based on patents that Nintendo only applied for after Palworld was already released.
- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 3 weeks ago:
It’s not. The size of the game isn’t the limiting factor.
Anecdotally, I played Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 and occasionally got loading screens while out and about in the open world. I assume the HDD was the cause of this.
- Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day 3 weeks ago:
“Let him cook” is more like “I wanna see where this is going”
- Comment on AI startup Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5bn to settle book piracy lawsuit 4 weeks ago:
So… how long does it take before a company stops being called a startup?
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 weeks ago:
The OS is 160 GB? That seems unrealistic. Windows 11 is bloated AF and is less than 30 GB.
What could an OS running on fixed hardware have that requires 160 GB?
- Comment on What if you tried to run Windows malware on Linux? 5 weeks ago:
There’s still a layer of abstraction there. Since it requires Wine to run, it wouldn’t be able to run itself in the future unless it’s aware that it’s being run in Wine. Then it would need to set up a way to launch itself via Wine.
- Comment on If conditions on earth are perfect for life to form shouldn't have happened more than once? 5 weeks ago:
Even if panspermia is the leading theory for life on Earth, abiogenesis had to have happened somewhere at some point before.

That’s exactly what they just said.

But ‘a’ has an even higher ratio.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 5 weeks ago:
What I do recall was one guy asking very specific questions about how much we would be able to customize genitals, and whether sex would be fully interactive with visuals of full penetration.
And while none of those things are wrong per se, the general vibe of asking about all of those things was very weird and pervy.
- Comment on U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business 1 month ago:
“Nationalized” with a heavy dose of quote marks. The government now owns about 10% of Intel in non-voting shares. It’s basically meaningless.
- Comment on Flight attendant union leaders ‘ready to go to jail’ as Air Canada strike outlawed 1 month ago:
The union and airline have been in negotiations for a long time, and the goverment is using the lack of agreement after so long as a factor in forcing the two parties into binding arbitration, which greatly benefits the airline.
So they’re not banned from striking, technically, but the government has measures in place to force the employees back to work. These measures have rarely been used in the past, but have been used 4 times in the past year against rail workers, port workers, postal workers, and now flight attendants.
- Comment on Secure Boot, TPM and Anti-Cheat Engines 1 month ago:
You can often change your IP by rebooting your router. So the only way an IP ban can really work is when you start banning blocks of IPs, but that can hit other people who have no reason to be banned.
VPNs also aren’t always slower, though they often are. They change the route your packets take, which could have fewer hops to get to their destination, or could have faster connections in some places compared to your standard route.
- Comment on A handful of people are slowly killing over 8 billion people, but we're expected to sit idly by and let it happen 1 month ago:
What you’re saying is we’re also to blame because we participate, as a society, in 10% of global emissions by flying. What about those same few who fly 2 people at a time in a private jet instead of 200+ in an airliner? People like that Starbucks CEO who would commute from LA to Seattle in a corporate jet, or any other rich fucker who can’t be seen near the poors and has to put out thousands on times the amount of emissions as the average person.
Sure, I’ll take my 0.000000001% of the blame, and Brian Niccol can take his personal 0.1%.

The easiest way is to use Heroic launcher to manage GoG games. It will install everything, and set up Proton for each game.
Do you use that PC for any other games? How’s the performance with them?
And what are the specs of the PC?

It’s odd because on PC I can post there on VPN, but on mobile I can’t.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 1 month ago:
That was my point. The comment I was replying to was suggesting that people switching from Spotify will be blown away by better quality audio. Most wouldn’t notice a difference.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 1 month ago:
Most people can’t tell the difference between 128 kbit MP3 and high quality recordings.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 month ago:
I thought the original Prey was boring as hell. It’s not like it didn’t have any interesting features, but the lack of penalty for dying meant that failure is impossible.
Prey isn’t really a franchise at all, just two completely unrelated games with the same name.
The newer one was supposed to be a sequel when it was being made by the original devs, but in the end it’s a completely separate game with no connection to the first.
