- Comment on BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4 - The Calamity | Key Visual 7 hours ago:
The brought it back a couple years ago to do the thousand year door arc (which I think is the last arc of the Manga).

- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 day ago:
Nice breakdown, I’ve seen a couple people commenting that are missing the fact that quoting a personal religious belief isn’t the same as empirical evidence to back up an arguement.
Not to mention it feels more like the student was just trying to personally attack the TA.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 day ago:
They called out multiple reasons why their response didn’t rise to the standards of an empirical analysis. Making up your own philosophical reasoning (that isn’t even consistent within the paper submitted) for a sociological analysis means that the paper contributed nothing to the topic at hand.
For a college level course, you shouldn’t need to explicitly state that a mythos can’t be used as empirical evidence.

That’s definitely fair criticism, but its sad that bringing in their boss should be necessary in a situation like this.

You should check out Mashle, it’s basically a parody of your typical “magic school” anime where the main character can’t use magic and literally just out muscles everyone.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 2 days ago:
I’m really impressed by the grader’s response. They didn’t just fail her for not doing the assignment, but broke down why and how her rhetoric is flawed. The fact the school couldn’t stand behind this clear and concise feedback just means that Oklahoma doesn’t really care about the quality of the work done at their school.
- Comment on Trump-appointed board renames Kennedy Center to 'Trump Kennedy Center' 1 week ago:
They’ve apparently been struggling to fill the theater and have been having numerous technical issues due to bad decision after bad decision:
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 1 week ago:
Honestly with that small of a sample size those numbers could mean anything.
Wed need to know things like:
- How many hours worth of new game content was released (maybe there were only enough new games to make up 20% of playtime)
- How mich do Games as a Service impact things (they get new content, but aren’t “new” games)
- Are people playing games more or less (people could be playing new games the same amount, but increasing the amount of hours playing old games)
A small sample of averages is really hard to interpret.
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 1 week ago:
That’s just how the article phrased it, surprisingly it’s hard to find historical “Steam Replay” stats so it’s hard to confirm/expand on any of this.

- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 1 week ago:
That percentage only matters in comparison to previous years, otherwise it’s just a random number.
While the article doesn’t give a lot of info, it does say it’s only down 1% from last year.
- Comment on Player awards 1 week ago:
I’m not even sure it’s a “horny” game, but just looks like generic free to play anime rpg. Seems even reviews are pretty mild for it, but it apparently has a more leinent gatcha element (although any gatcha is a non starter for me).
It is however made by a Chinese company, so that may be why it got the “popular” vote.
- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 week ago:
I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?
- Comment on Finally, Common Ground... 1 week ago:
Yeah, people always seem to forget that it’s about what you can purchase, not the $ amount. Similar to living in a city vs a rural area, the cost of food/housing varies widely even in the same country.
- Comment on Are there any sub-$200 handhelds out there that smoothly run Game Cube games? 1 week ago:
If you have specific games in mind you can check out this site emuready.com. That let’s you filter by device or cpu to see how well games play, sorta like ProtonDB for Linux emulation.
I think the biggest issue is, are you looking sub $200 before shipping+tax or after. For example I think the Retroid Pocket 5 is supposed to handle gamcube pretty well, but thats $200 just for the device.
- Comment on Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans? 1 week ago:
This is why I don’t think Newsom will make it through the primaries, he likes to talk the talk, but rarely actually backs it up.
- Comment on Quilter's AI just designed an 843‑part Linux computer that booted on the first try. Hardware will never be the same. 1 week ago:
I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go
- Comment on builder.ai has been tricking customers and investors for eight years – selling an advanced code-writing AI that, it turns out, is actually an Indian software farm employing 700 human developers 2 weeks ago:
It says they’d been tricking investors for 8 years, we’ll before ChatGPT. I assume they overpromised in the early years, leveraging labor as a “stopgap” for the developing AI. Then things eventually caught up and they couldn’t deliver, leading to the current situation.
Eight years is a long time, so who was “duped” when can really change the narrative of the headline.
- Comment on We turn the HVAC "up" whether we want it colder or warmer. 3 weeks ago:
I mean, it kinda depends on your mental model. If you think the AC is “low” as in not running a lot you can turn it “up” so it’s making things colder.
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 3 weeks ago:
All of them. If you’re seeing sources cited, it means it’s a RAG (LLM with extra bits). The extra bits make a big difference as it means the response is limited to a select few points of reference and isn’t comparing all known knowledge on a subject matter.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for the details, seems like that may be why the older Chromecasts are still supported.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 3 weeks ago:
I thought for Chromecast the “casting” part is just telling the Chromecast what to play. Do you need your phone on while Chromecast shows content?
- Comment on My review on the AYN Odin 3 3 weeks ago:
Just a note, I’m pretty sure Arm is only “efficient” in low power modes. I’m not sure there is much (if any) energy saving when running heavy loads.
For example, running heavy ML workloads on a Apple Silicon still burns through battery.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 3 weeks ago:
And yet things like asbestos, lead, and smoking all took way longer than you’d expect (given they were a lot more universal).
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 3 weeks ago:
It’s 2D, but the fire mechanic is pretty fun - Wildfire
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 4 weeks ago:
Lies of P did a great job of color coding things (and generally being more leinent/realistic with timing). It can still be a hard game, but the most approachable parrying based game of that ilk.
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 4 weeks ago:
It’s definitely more interesting than 4. It’s been a while since I played either, but remember thinking 5 felt like a better game all around.
- Comment on Had to look this up 5 weeks ago:
Sorry to disappoint, but Velma is Indian in the reboot, as Mindy Kaling is Indian.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 5 weeks ago:
Valve didn’t make Fex, and while it’s a compatibility layer, that doesn’t mean it runs everything.
Just look at Proton and you can see after years (and focusing exclusively on games) it’s still not near 100%.
