Legitimized by defeating the US.
- Comment on Scientists Want to Teleport a Whole Human. A Quantum Breakthrough Could Make It Reality. 1 week ago:
What a shit article “Hey we can do this to single photons and electrons! Whole humans are next!”
No they are not. This articles is just a vehicle to talk about the same-ass philosophical issues that have been talked about for as long as teleportation via technology has been thought about.
- Comment on Japan faces political uncertainty after LDP election rout 2 weeks ago:
So the same party in gonna be in charge, but now with some extra flavor in the form of a coalition partner. Let’s watch and see which gaggle of ghouls they can find! Gotta pick a good one so you can do the policies your donors want while being able to blame it on your coalition partner.

- Comment on Check out the fancy new trailer for Beyond All Reason a really great free and open source RTS 2 months ago:
BAR is really good and also free to play. If you want a sweaty RTS to play, here it is!
- Comment on Baldurs Gate 3 devs tease future non-D&D games, say morale is “super high”: “we're doing our own thing again" 3 months ago:
Good for them. Larian does not need D&D at this point. All the people who liked BG3 aren’t going to shun a new Larian game just because it doesn’t use a D&D setting. Quite the opposite, in fact. Them hyping up their own stuff can only help them keep people interested.
Meanwhile, Wizards can’t generate hype o matter what they do, because they are scared into stasis from the knowledge that they are out of ideas. Heck, a lot of the changes Larian made to the ruleset are things that the people at WotC should have made many years ago. It is very telling that those same people can’t help mentioning the game when they are trying to hype up their new version of 5E. A version that is scared to change anything except tiny details via a focus tested surveys and looks basically identical to the game they delivered ten years ago.

“How much can a global economy cost? 10$?”
- Comment on Zombie survival game 7 Days To Die version 1.0 is out now after 11 years in early access 3 months ago:
And yet the netcode still sucks balls, to the point where the game becomes unplayable with 3+ people unless you put the time in to make a dedicated server for it.
There were also some very baffling decisions made for 1.0, like how there is now armor with a skill point chance on level up, apparently. Not sure how that one works in practice, but it doesn’t sound like a well thought-out update.
- Comment on Review concludes proposed NASA budget cuts would end Chandra 3 months ago:
This is how far capitalist space exploration gets you if it’s left unopposed. Cars being shot into orbit as a marketing stunt are celebrated, but we don’t have a pittance of money for science. The system working as intended.
- Comment on Earth Defense Force 6 players on Steam will only need to sign into Epic once, say publishers in apology for "lack of advance notice" 3 months ago:

I was playing a lot of Songs of Syx, which I highly recommend if you enjoy very intricate city building and management games.

- Comment on Starfield Next Update Arriving This Week, Shattered Space DLC Sails Out This Fall 6 months ago:
Prediction: they are gonna release some shitty pieces of DLC to technically fulfill their obligation to the idiots who bought some sort of ultra-elite-platinum version of the game or whatever it’s called, after which point they will abandon the game, because no one cares at this point, them least of all.
- Comment on Paradox announce Stellaris: Season 08, with Stellaris: The Machine Age launching May 7th 6 months ago:
