I dunno, man. I’ve heard it being referred to as “aqua-cola”. I’ve also heard it’s incredibly addictive, which makes sense because not a lot of time has to pass at all before I start to crave more of it. It’s practically impossible to resist.
Should’ve never been started on that shit. I dunno why it’s so normalised in society…
- Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight 4 days ago:
What space race?
NASA us working on a shoestring budget and managed to run some very successful missions. The Artemis Program is/was very succesful, and what does NASA get?
Budget cuts. Money diverted to SpaceX who, under Elon, has yet to do a single succesful mission (the Dragon capsule and reusable rockets were both projects that Elon bought. Starship is the first project that Elon directed).

Good gods! Captain, The ambient sarcasm readings are off the charts!

I mean, if whole EU countries can do it, so can you.
- Comment on Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux 1 week ago:
The majority of Internet infrastructure runs on either something Linux based or something FreeBSD based.
A lot of the tools used are also various flavours of open or semi open source.
I’d say open source already has success. Just not in places where you see consumers using it. Except… Wait a minute, Android is a fork of Linux, and Android is open source too.
- Comment on Why Denmark is dumping Microsoft Office and Windows for LibreOffice and Linux 1 week ago:
I would argue that switching to an open-source model for all your tools is more globalist. Open source projects are being maintained by people all over the world, and any group or branch is allowed to modify and redistribute their personal version of any project.
It’s the opposite of being subject to an ever growing corporation you can’t even put checks on. Every government using the product of a single small group of massively rich corporations is giving said corporation unprecedented power over the world.

Local libraries here and there in Copenhagen have already switched to Manjaro. Haven’t heard anyone complain about it.

The Amazing Digital Circus is disgusting content…?
Is this video pearl clutching? It’s pearl clutching, isn’t it?
- Comment on Computer says no: Impact of automated decision-making on human life; Algorithms are deciding whether a patient receives an organ transplant or not; Algorithms use in Welfare, Penalise the poor. 2 weeks ago:
“Algorithms used in welfare…”
Not a bad idea. Could be used to cut through red tape and being aid to those who need it as efficiently as possible…
“… Penalise the poor.”
… Unless, of course, the algorithm is made to only favour the ones that don’t really need it. Uuuggh for fuck sake.

Joe’s on you; I believe poetry is just pretentious writing.
- Comment on Mina the Hollower: Release Date Announcement Trailer (October 31) 2 weeks ago:
You’re… Not exactly disproving what I said or making a real case why it’s beneficial. On the contrary, you’ve only reinforced exactly what I’m talking about:
For quite a period, and still today, the indie scene is dominated by pixel art, because those people grew up with games that looked that way, and are still stuck there. But now the people who grew up with the PS1 are also capable of completing game projects, and they themselves are stuck in their past.
- Comment on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Summer Game Fest Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like the kind of game I want to avoid like a contagious cancer.
- Comment on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Summer Game Fest Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Yep. I’ve heard good things about All Star Racing several times now. Probably should get it…
- Comment on Mina the Hollower: Release Date Announcement Trailer (October 31) 2 weeks ago:
I know it’s not. It’s about a sizable portion of indie developers and gamers being stuck in past nostalgia.

I doubt the explosion resistance will be as high as a dedicated resistance armour.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Update 1.1 (Beta) 2 weeks ago:
Does this update fixe the horrible graphical artefacting I’m experiencing? Probably not, huh…
- Comment on Chronicles: Medieval - Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
“Chronicles: Medieval” sounds like the intention is to create a game series set in different time periods.
Considering the UI of the game, it looks to me it might be a kind of battle sim-esque thing kinda like Mount and Blade.
- Comment on Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
This trailer is entirely cinematic. I don’t know what to expect from the game, what kind of RTS it will be (does it feature base building? Is it more tactical or grand scale? Is it MOBA-like with hero units being the main feature? Is it war-game-like?). This trailer literally tells me nothing.
- Comment on Game of Thrones: War for Westeros | Cinematic Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Something about it reacting to metal? I don’t remember anything of wood shattering when Whitewalkers touched it…
- Comment on Atomic Heart 2 - Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
This game looks so hoorrrnyyy.
Goodness gracious, the developers saw the Internet’s reaction to those twin bots from the first game and decided “yes! More of that!” XD
- Comment on LEGO VOYAGERS | Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Nice to see this game finally being completed.
I used to go to Lightbrick Studio here in Copenhagen to alpha-test the various features and mechanics they were developing for this game. That was a few years ago by now, where the environments looked a lot more bland (it was literally just a raw test of the puzzle mechanics).
Nice to recognise all the things I tested in the trailer.
- Comment on LEGO VOYAGERS | Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Bionicle Masks of Power. And I highly doubt it. Something else is going with that…
- Comment on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Summer Game Fest Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I still need to give the Sonic kart racing games a shot. It seems to be the only decent mascot kart racer available on PC.
Really wish the Crash Bandicoot one gets ported… But it’s still stuck on PlayStation…
- Comment on ARC Raiders | Release Date Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
This might be the only extraction shooter I’ll be interested in.
Might…
… We shall see…
- Comment on Mina the Hollower: Release Date Announcement Trailer (October 31) 2 weeks ago:
I’m tired of the pixel art aesthetic.
You can pick any artistic style you want. There literally aren’t any real hardware imitations to graphics anymore. And yet it’s always realistic graphics for AAA games, and pixel graphics for indie games (with a few rare ones in between that do it different).
Sigh…
- Comment on Dune: Awakening Draws Nearly 100,000 Players On Steam Before Full Release 2 weeks ago:
Played Conan Exiles. It’s my favourite survival game put of all the ones I’ve tried. Might give this one a shot, but I’ll have to see some gameplay and reviews first.
- Comment on LEGO Party! Official Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Mario Party. But LEGO. Meh…
- Comment on Feel That Boxing - Gameplay Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Not sure if I’ll play this (maybe if I get it through Humble Monthly at some point), but I’m glad this exists. Nice to see studios trying different things.

Those specs suck.
- Comment on You probably don't remember these but I have a question 2 weeks ago:
I still have one. No these ones specifically don’t have wireless capabilities. Later ones do, though.
