In Germany they are called “wind hounds”, since they only properly work while the wind is blowing
- Comment on These posts are unhinged. No I don't miss a candidate that couldnt beat donald fucking trump. How shitty do you have to be to lose to him in any any fucking universe. 5 days ago:
Sorry, but I don’t believe you. Trump didn’t get many more votes than last time, the Dems just got fewer. Had Biden stepped back earlier and given someone else a real chance, things would probably have turned out differently.
I would agree that most people would have lost given the short time. Not everyone, because there was real energy and hope for some time (before wonderful statements like “things won’t change with me”), but most Dems.

That’s not how R&D works. It’s really rare to have “progress across the board”, usually you have incremental improvements in specific areas that come together to an across-the-board improvement.
So we’d be getting improvements slower since there’s much less profit from individual advancements, as they can’t be released. What’s the advantage here?
- Comment on Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me? 6 days ago:
I keep hearing this, but I honestly don’t like both VA & facial expressions in Control. Both are usually incredibly wooden and stiff, with the facial expressions veering hard into the uncanny valley, but without redeeming stylized highlights.

I never understood this kind of objection. You yourself state that maybe 10% of users can find some good use for this - and that means that we should stop developing the technology until some arbitrary, higher threshold is met? 10% of users is an incredibly big amount! Why is that too little for this development to make sense?

- Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life. 1 week ago:
Roughly 1/7 SSNs are issued twice. SSNs are recycled, used multiple times, all that good stuff.
This is why it’s incredibly dangerous when people assume they are unique.

Or because the government has no business being able to distinguish between people with the same name?
Seems like an objectively terrible approach, considering people with the same name have gotten the same SSN before.
Such an ID would have to be unique.

You’re welcome! I’ve played it a bunch, it’s essentially FTL 1.5 and extremely well made. Hope you have fun playing it!
In case you’re running on Linux, be warned that you might have to add a SELinux exception. Hit me up if that’s the case, I’ll try to find the commands.
