- Comment on Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree patch makes Blessings stronger and the game easier 3 hours ago:
No, you’re wrong. The patch notes specifically state:
The attack and damage negation granted by the final level of Blessing enhancements has been slightly increased.
- Comment on 9 years later, I finally played fallout 4 1 month ago:
Again: they stated they already played FNV before Fallout 4. You’re assuming they are confusing the game they are currently playing for one they played previously. Had OP not previously stated they’d already played FNV you’d have a point. As-is, you’re assuming they are too stupid to remember that the game they are playing right now is one they’ve already played previously and remember under a different name.
- Comment on 9 years later, I finally played fallout 4 1 month ago:
Sure, but there’s no reason to expect this when somebody explicitly mentions having previously played FNV. In doing so, you’re assuming OP to be a giant idiot.
- Comment on 9 years later, I finally played fallout 4 1 month ago:
Their whole post is talking about Fallout 4. What is more likely:
- they are talking about Fallout 4
- they are confusing Fallout 4 with Fallout New Vegas, a game they played previously and just said they’d try again after having played Fallout 4
Please, just think for a moment.
- Comment on 9 years later, I finally played fallout 4 1 month ago:
Yes, their edit states they are now trying FNV again. Their post, containing the part you quoted, was neither part of the edit nor referencing FNV. Please, just read it again.
- Comment on 9 years later, I finally played fallout 4 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure they’re playing Fallout 4, considering they explicitly said they tried FNV before…
- Comment on 9 years later, I finally played fallout 4 1 month ago:
What? I’ve never seen people say that, FNV is widely regarded as the best 3D Fallout game.

- Comment on Hades II is now available in Steam Early Access! 1 month ago:
I bought the game and played for roughly 3 hours. If you’ve seen their stream from the technical test, I got roughly as far in the meta-game as they did, but run-wise I got somewhere ~the middle of the third act. Right now I can see at least ~3-5 hours of unlockables I need to get resources for (and more is revealed after more runs/unlocks), and I haven’t tried most new boons yet.
It’s really good. There are three things I’ve noticed are missing (animations for one interactable in the hub world, portraits for 2 characters further in). Aside from that it feels similar quality-wise to the first game, which I last played a week ago, so it’s still fresh in my mind.
I’m sure new content will get slower soon and halt in a couple of hours, but wow is it polished already. There’s also an indication of a lot of additional content coming in the future, but that will have to wait for further patches.

- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 1 month ago:
Here’s the video that introduced me to the idea: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmtQPrH-gC4
He explains it very well and gives a lot of references :)

That’s a vastly simplified model. Real neurons can’t be approximated with a couple of weights - each neuron is at least as complex as a multi-layer RNN.

- Comment on Not happening, dude 1 month ago:
I don’t know if it’s a people who already have issues and have guns are more likely to use the gun instead of other means kind of statistic you have there
Well, you could easily figure that out by reading the link I sent. But I’ll gladly clear it up for you: the statistic isn’t about “likelihood of using gun for suicide”, it’s “likelihood of suicide”. Men who own guns are 8x more likely to kill themselves than men who don’t.
but owning a gun does not want to make you want to kill yourself purely by existing. It is a problem that exists regardless of the gun.
It is, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore the statistics. Owning a gun dramatically increases your chances of suicide, mostly because it’s the quickest method easily available. Suicide is extremely often an impulse. If you have a quick and easy method available, you’re far more likely to commit suicide than if you don’t. This has been researched for a long time.
And people who just… don’t have a gun have a thousand different ways to accomplish the task. You aren’t like, a healthy individual then get a gun and suddenly have … urges.
Okay, so people with suicidal thoughts should just buy guns and go through with it, or what? I’ll repeat myself: you don’t just get help and are magically better the next day. Improving your mental state is a process that takes at the very least multiple years. Knowing yourself and statistics well enough to not give yourself an easy suicide method is good.

Unless you produce hydrogen from fossil fuels, you’ll have to take energy into account as long as we don’t have massive overproduction (which we’re far, far away from). By using the less efficient process, you’ll keep us reliant on fossil fuels for a longer amount of time.
- Comment on Not happening, dude 1 month ago:
There’s a well-known and strong correlation between gun ownership and suicide rates:
Men who own handguns are eight times more likely to die of gun suicides than men who don’t own handguns, and women who own handguns are 35 times more likely than women who don’t.
I’m not sure if it’s fair to say that people are “acting like this is normal” - it is a real danger, and it’s good that these folks are aware of it and are acting accordingly. Even if you get help, you won’t just magically get better and will never suffer from suicidal thoughts again. Making sure you don’t put yourself in unnecessary danger seems like a healthy strategy to me.

Thank you for the tips! I don’t know if I just got very lucky or if your tips helped me play more aggressively - but I managed to win 5 runs yesterday and finished the main quest!
- Comment on Hades II Technical Test - Live Gameplay 2 months ago:
Thank you for all those tips, very helpful! I’ll definitely check out speedrun builds, my boon selection is probably not very helpful :)
- Comment on Hades II Technical Test - Live Gameplay 2 months ago:
I’d say it’s enemies with large amounts of health/shields. Specifically I’m thinking of:
- those skeletons in Asphodel that jump around and throw stuff
- all the regenerating dudes in Elysium
- big rats and satyrs in the last one
For example, I had a run with the bow w/ homing special and Ares boon on special. Every regenerating dude in Elysium felt like at least ~6-8 procs of Doom (even with backstabs etc).
It just keeps getting slower and slower. I’ve tried using the butterfly to increase damage slightly, but that doesn’t seem to be enough.
- Comment on Hades II Technical Test - Live Gameplay 2 months ago:
How do you make Tight Deadline 2 work? Aside from rare good runs, I seem to spend 10-15 minutes in Asphodel, and 20+ in Elysium (due to my own damage output). Am I just picking the wrong boons?
- Comment on The Way Forward, an update from the team behind Cities: Skylines 2 months ago:
It’s not just greedy, at this point it’s blatant. The release itself was already bonkers, but they could have saved things by working hard on the base game and releasing additional free content. But this? How many “sowwy we fucked up, we promise to do better, buy our new 132 DLCs” will they pull before people stop giving them the benefit of the doubt?
- Comment on Hades II Technical Test - Live Gameplay 2 months ago:
Do you have any tips for beating higher heat levels? I think I got to around 5 before things just started getting too hard, where I could barely finish a run after multiple tries. Would love to finish the game some day!
