  This explains a lot because I hate gambling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they ai generated the coverup

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's impossible to defend any amount of alcohol consumption without sounding like an alcoholic.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also don’t drink, can confirm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My dad does this so much and I asked him about it once. He said he thinks it makes everything sound very chill and low pressure. I think it makes everything sound passive aggressive, or like it’s a loaded statement🤦‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds like a problem for them, not me.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good manager! I’ve been lucky enough to have some like that, too, but sadly not everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds like a problem for them, not me.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Entirely depends on the job, and also some states have more protections than others. “Hustle culture” is really engrained over here though and there can be a lot of guilt for many people around asking for time off, both internalized guilt for the worker and actual guilt tripping from managers if you have a toxic work place.

  We don’t have a culture of going on holiday in America like parts of Europe do, so I think it’s not as normalized and there’s often a feeling of pressure to only do it when others aren’t so that the company is still well staffed.

  It’s all very toxic, but I think people are also starting to realize how toxic it is in the past several years and there’s more and more acknowledgement between workers at least that we should be taking our time off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do wish it was slightly shorter. They just don’t make small enough phones anymore for my taste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all the CGI/AI corpse puppeting that keeps happening. At some point someone is going to remake Triumph of the Will with an all star cast of recently deceased movie stars.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get me wrong, I think its very weird too. I’ve been curious how it actually happens, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have the same problem and my latest was an asus zenfone after a ton of research. Its been pretty solid actually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all the CGI/AI corpse puppeting that keeps happening. At some point someone is going to remake Triumph of the Will with an all star cast of recently deceased movie stars.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone in the industry know how/if that stuff needs approval from someone? Like does the family estate OK it or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't need no app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  On mine it just has “get new advertising ID”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks Duo, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about a coquettish green owl-unicorn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a 4 dimensional extraplanar entity, we can never perceive Duo’s true majesty. All we can catch are glimpses of his totality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New No Man's Sky update adds walkable gas giants among "trillions" of new planets, just in case you were running out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They kept saying gas giants in the trailer and I was like “are you not going to show them?”

  Finally realized the rocky worlds they were walking on were the “gas” giants. I’m sure they’re cool but they just looked like extra-stormy planets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director thinks GTA 6 might have the "clout" to normalise a $100 price tag⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad you had that last paragraph, because inflationary justifications are just hand waving when people’s income isn’t keeping pace. It’s not based in reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anything tempting you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still waiting until it gets more updates but I’m so impatient to play it 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout creator asks why triple-A RPGs focus on violence, doesn't provide very hopeful answer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Humans are space orks. We like da fighty tings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calcrelatable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean CE doesnt stand for “clear everything”? And here I thought more letters meant more clearing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wish I could have a tractor car.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My god they’re hideous!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not likely to be AI-generated or Deepfake⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a sort of… Sheen, to a lot AI images. Obviously you can prompt this away if you know what you’re doing, but its developing a bit of a look to my eye when people don’t do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a symbol of wealth. They want you to know the brand because it tells others they have the means to afford it.

  I totally agree with you, though. It’s tacky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Castlevania to get official stage adaptation by Japan's all-female Takarazuka Revue⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t wait to see the third act where alucard gets stun locked by gold Medusa heads in the clocktower

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GORILLA GORILLA⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IFIXIT: Victory Is Sweet - We Can Now Fix McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong, but I’d still encourage everyone to celebrate the small victories. If we wait for perfection it may never come.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Portal 2 project lead wants Valve to return to single-player games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same

  What kind of dog is that?

  Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for digging up the link, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alien: Isolation Sequel Has Been Officially Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a very tall order to follow, but best of luck to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t owned a Nintendo console for many years now because I kept waiting for the cost to go down (it never has).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! I’d love to hear what you think. 😄

  I’m now picturing lawyers aggressively humming at their hands.
