- Comment on I quit my job to make my own game. Toll Booth Simulator 20 minutes ago:
I don’t understand what a lot of those activities have to do with toll booths
The drinking animation needs a lot of work, or just skip it and have it be instantaneous with a gulp sound
The woman’s head getting bigger from the drink is bizarre and disturbing
The woman spewing liquid out from her mouth doesn’t look great
- Comment on Damn 30 minutes ago:
There are significant differences between the two. Real’s got wrinkles and sunburnt arms. So the guy was right, the drawing isn’t realistic.
That said, we shouldn’t expect drawings to be realistic. If you wanted realistic, why aren’t you watching a live-action film?
- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 5 hours ago:
They know the thing they’ve got going on now isn’t working so they have to latch onto anything new
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 8 hours ago:
Lots of guys are held back by looks and/or confidence.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 9 hours ago:
Much of our media depicts men in successful relationships, handsome, with a good circle of friends, decent jobs etc.
Guys see this and think there’s something wrong because their reality isn’t matching that media.
It’s more exciting to think you’re observing a widespread social phenomenon than to admit your expectations were shaped by fiction.
- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 15 hours ago:
I’ve heard good things about Polysecure. I understand your question doesn’t pertain to non-monogamy, but non-monogamy is an extension of being able to set and respect boundaries yourself rather than simply adopting boundaries that are the default in your community, so maybe it would be helpful?

You’re right, you shouldn’t.
- Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription? 6 days ago:
The damage comes from strain, which can be caused by trying to see through the wrong prescription of lenses (or no lenses).
- Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription? 6 days ago:
In response to your 2nd paragraph hypothetical, no, because the changes you’re describing are all forms of damage. You’d have to replace or repair the lens in the eye to revert the damage, and simply looking through a different type of external lens isn’t going to achieve that.
- Comment on Peak 1 week ago:
Why are viewers much, much more likely to complain about big boobs than small boobs
Boobs like the ones in the OP exist
If I see something I don’t care for, I just hide it and move on
But not small-boob fans! They have to let everyone know when boobs are too big for their tastes
- Comment on Fan Subber 2 weeks ago:
Some phrases might not make any sense though
Try to do a direct translation of “you’re darn tootin’” and see if the viewers have any idea why the character is accusing the other person of fixing socks while operating a train horn
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 5 weeks ago:
Solar cells are crystalline and rigid. You wouldn’t be able to fold the umbrella up and put it away. Also, as someone else pointed out, solar cells work best in sunlight… which you won’t want an umbrella for.
- Comment on Why do people hate coldplay? 5 weeks ago:
They, like many other bands, stopped doing what they were good at, to experiment. It’s not as good.
I don’t hate them, but their good albums were a long time ago.

- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 5 weeks ago:
It doesn’t take very long to look at ratings. If it’s crap it’ll have crap ratings.
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 5 weeks ago:
Read reviews. Examine promotional materials. Discuss with friends.

Immersion and customizability
- Comment on xkcd #3115: Unsolved Physics Problems 5 weeks ago:
It looks better than his natural hair did
- Comment on Can you see magic eye pictures? 1 month ago:
Yes.
The instructions say don’t cross your eyes but that’s horseshit and probably why so many people fail to see them.
My method is to cross my eyes, then uncross them slowly until the 3d effect appears, then hold on that position.

Your sons are speaking from their experience, which may not be the same as yours.
- Comment on Why does Dairy Queen sell food? 2 months ago:
Hot eats cool treats. That was the slogan 20 years ago. Get some nuggets and a blizzard.
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 months ago:
Don’t pay someone to steal something. The police will view conspiracy to commit theft much more harshly than blasting music.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 2 months ago:
Your Mom is hurting and lashing out.
You don’t need to fight her battles for her. But you can support her by spending time with her. If she doesn’t appreciate that, you can stop.

Depending on your gender you’re heteroflexible or homoflexible

Boobies.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
When politicians make it illegal for certain groups of people to exist, that oppression kind of takes precedence over other things.
Unless you believe yourself above such peasantry.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 9 months ago:
Start with HL2 on normal difficulty. Then do 2E1 and 2E2 on normal difficulty.
Then repeat all of that on hard.
Then you’ll be where I am. Never bothered with 1.

- Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr? 9 months ago:
I had a philosophy prof who said the title depends on the setting. If he were speaking at a conference, it’s Dr. If he was teaching at a school, it’s Professor.
If you’re in a setting where those titles aren’t relevant, don’t use them.
