Don’t threaten them with a good time.

Good point! Have they checked these laboratory mice to make sure their genes haven’t been spliced?

I’ll give him a select list of hearts I want him to dance his way through.
Subtitle A: “The dancing just went from ‘dirty’ to ‘deadly’.”
Subtitle B: “Watch out, he’s changed his shoes.”

If you’re a cheater, it all makes sense.

This always makes me laugh
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 1 month ago:
Not superhuman, just very simple. I pick what I want most at the moment, especially in a game where I can refund points if my decision wasn’t great.

I had to take another look to see if they’ve shat the tree up worse somehow. But, no, it’s the same. The tree isn’t complicated to read or even that hard to understand. It’s a tree: you start at the base and make decisions at the branches.
Perhaps it’s an extension of people getting paralyzed by decisions, which I don’t experience, but it’s only difficult if you are in the strange position of “knowing enough about the passive tree to know a build/specific passive exists” but also don’t know the tree enough to figure out how to get there.

I’m beginning to think companies are doing this to get people to leave by themselves

Are we eventually gonna get more fusion because billionaires are demanding more energy for their stupid projects?
Sure, knock yourselves out.

What?
I only remember the wave-based, tower defense main mod. What playground mode was there?

There have been a number of voxel shooter that have shipped lowkey since Minecraft that attempted to add block placement to the team v team ticket shooter, e.g. Ace of Spades.

I’m doing a mini, personal version called “having no money”.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
Define “works”?
If you’re a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as “working”.
- Comment on "Now everyone will have an easy reference table at hand!" 2 months ago:
Oh, dreadfully sorry. Shall I…just stick my neck out here? Or is this going to be a trampling? Let me know.
- Comment on "Now everyone will have an easy reference table at hand!" 2 months ago:
No! Absolutely not! Are you trying to kill us all?!
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
If, 24 months from now, most people aren’t coding, it’ll be because people like him cut jobs to make a quicker buck. Or nickel.
- Comment on MBFC Credibility - High 2 months ago:
I never saw “pre-emptive” as an absolving term. You just decided to strike first: it’s relatively free from any connotations of propriety in my mind.
- Comment on Inflation? 2 months ago:
Sure, in the broad, capitalist sense, you can’t blame the company.
But, as just a collection of people, you can absolutely blame them. Saying that a company has no fault in deciding to use aggressive, manipulative methods to pull money out of people no matter what feels on the level of saying 'I couldn’t help myself, they should’ve stopped me from being terrible".
- Comment on I'm not a good liar but need to pretend I like my current job and not rant about how much I dislike it till I find a job I like more. How do I make my coworkers and supervisors believe this lie? 2 months ago:
…did you not read the post? They are planning to leave but they don’t want to get dumped before finding a new position.

This is no direct smoke at you, but I don’t think doing decades old memes should form a core part of anything’s personality
- Comment on Dynamic pricing 2 months ago:
As the other guy said, lunch specials aren’t dynamic insofar as any pricing can be dynamic when the restaurant just changes prices willy-nilly. Which is what surge pricing is.
Lunch specials are a separate, generally static part of the menu. Like how using a coupon isn’t considered dynamic pricing for the times when you have a coupon on you.

- Comment on Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating 2 months ago:
No, I’m not missing that the unchecked usage of mass polluting luxury vehicles by the 1% is a not-insignificant contirbutor to global emissions.
But the statement wasn’t those fuckos should stop, it was “humanity shouldn’t have” those things. An unqualified, blanket(, likely hyperbolic) denial. Like saying ‘humanity shouldn’t have personal cars’ because EVs hadn’t taken off yet.
- Comment on Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating 2 months ago:
There’s no inherent polluting/ecological threat in either vehicle (in the far-flung hypothetical that they run on sustainable sources), i.e. you can conceive of a solar-jet or a fusion yacht. Why can’t people have nice, private things? Because my utopia conception of an equitable, 1%-less future doesn’t necessitate me crammed in 949 hyperplane with 1000 other people for efficiency.

- Comment on Bungie CEO faces backlash after announcing 220 employees, or 17% of its workforce, will be laid off | Pete Parsons has spent $2.4 million on classic cars since Sony acquired Destiny developer Bungie 3 months ago:
I just cannot fathom this absolutely brainlet, short-term thinking. Yeah, these people have created some of the best content we’ve ever made (according to player feedback). Let’s fucking fire them all!
When did “investing” die and rise as a revenant obsessed with burning down the building to get one more penny? Do billionaires know something we don’t and are burning everything down because the planet’s gonna explode?
- Comment on What are some of your favorite Starfield mods? 3 months ago:
Don’t own and it’s far down the wishlist but I have a problem, so I’ve bookmarked all the coolest mods that turn the game into Star Wars and that pseudo-expansion mod that dropped like 2 months before the Creation Kit.
…wait, does Starfield even have the Creation Kit yet?
