- Comment on A golf course eight miles away from the hottest point on the entire planet. 4 months ago:
I mean people don’t have to just stay home to get close to a golf course that isn’t *literally siphoning the only source of sustainance for hundreds of miles."
There’s a golf course down the street from me, on a main road to one of two local hospitals, surely you can find one within the nearest 10mi and if you can’t? You probably have bigger things to worry about than swinging a club at a 1inch sphere at your feet.
If you’re visiting a country that doesn’t have enough grass to sustain pissing on a tree, you’re going to the wrong places for golf.
- Comment on What if Tyrannosaurus Rexes moved and walked like chicken do? 4 months ago:
Man, I decided to do just that, and it was almost exactly what I thought (minus the technical words): if a velociraptor can do a metric fuckle of damage with their two hook-toes, a T-Rex with 2 of those on each hand can fuck something up, presuming it’s close enough (which, as the T-Rex head/bite-force, and distance from the jaw suggests), would have been pretty frequently.
Even if each claw only did a little damage, that’s still a lot of blood loss throughout the conflict, and the T-Rex would be more likely to win.

I was all-in on that paragraph, but then the last statement rolled into vision, and now I can’t take it seriously again.

Not sure how this is a shitpost, this is the most accurate interpretation I’ve ever seen of D&D shenanigans!
- Comment on Favourite patient modern game? 4 months ago:
Satisfactory. It’s been in early access for a few years now, 2019 I think? At the beginning of this year (2024) they announced the next update would be the 1.0 release. I’ve been playing it on/off for years, especially recently with all the strides they’ve made in development.
The game is like Factorio, but presented as an FPS. You get dropped onto a planet in a pod straight out of Halo: ODST by a space-future megacorp called Ficsit, with the goal of harvesting the planet’s resources for Ficsit off-planet divisions.
I have almost 1500hrs in Satisfactory since I got it, there’s no shortage of gameplay. Coffee Stain (devs) have been posting videos regularly, updating the community on new/discontinued features, revamped recipes and production rates, and even just being silly as much as being helpful, to the point where Coffee Stain is my go-to example of good devteam-community interaction.
Oh, and it also has a really good modding community, so if there’s anything that’s not in game, that you want in game, it’s probably already been made by one or two modders.
- Comment on Steam, Epic and GMG are canceling Ghost of Tsushima PC pre-orders in non-PSN countries 5 months ago:
I’m wondering the same thing, even though I’m certain the answer is “political or cultural authoritarianism.” If a product sold challenges a demographic in power, even if it’s minimal, that demographic will outlaw it immediately.
Example: article I saw yesterday about how Vietnamese gov told Steam to stop selling in their country because “the overwhelming library of games overshadows local devs” or something to that effect. The real reason is likely because of games that portray Vietnam in a bad light. From everything I’ve heard of the government there, the country is run by mobsters or similar.

Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?
Fucking savages.
- Comment on Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers is a gorgeous free SNES-style arcade racer, built using Doom Legacy 6 months ago:
Eggman is his actual name though. When it was brought to America it was localized as ‘Robotnik’ without the creators consent.
As far as the creator/developers are concerned, Robotnik is the ‘stupid moniker,’ as you put it.

I was about to go looking for the original pic without the lemmy stuff, but then I saw the real diamond in this image.
- Comment on Which Mortal Kombat games across the years should I start with? 7 months ago:
To give two sides of answers to your question: I played the early MK games on the Sega Genesis, and I would say start where you want.
As others have said, the new canon for the series starts with the 2011 game. But honestly, the 2011 game is very similar to the OG games. If you only played the OG, then the new games will only be a better version of what you played up until that point.
If you only played the new ones, it gives prominent backstory to various characters, and the gameplay is almost identical. It’s a great starting point for newcomers.
Biggest difference is that the new games try to make everything one seamless story, the idea being comic book multiverse things, where in one universe, Ryu isn’t the God of Lightning, but a simple student at the temple. Stuff like that.
TL;DR: There’s no bad place to start in the Mortal Kombat games.

I prefer the one from Mario Sunshine, that one scared the hell out of 8yo me.
- Comment on Paramount Has A Plan To Bring Star Trek Back To The Big Screen, Says Roddenberry Entertainment Exec 7 months ago:
Lol I saw the drama thread about this like 20 minutes before finding this thread on my feed. The mod(s) doing this are really shooting themselves in the everything here. Soon the userbase here will hit critical low and there’ll be no opinions that are contrary to the mighty overlords opinions.
They’ll finally have a place with only their thoughts and judgements. Nobody talking back or saying what they think, just agreeing with the oppressors. Just them and the bots they made to parrot and agree with them.
I guess I’ll just wait patiently for my 30 day ban for saying anything though.

Fucking hell, thank you. At some point I trained myself to just ignore watermarks on principle, but the reddit tag at the bottom has to be the ugliest, most obtrusive ‘watermark’ I’ve ever seen.

It’s a repost/crosspost bot and the admins/mods don’t care to fix, disable, or ban it.
I haven’t blocked it yet but I’m thinking I should.

Low hanging fruit tempts more people, more easily. He’s just a really easy to hate person, last decade it was Zuckerberg, this decade it’s Elon.
I just hope the next person to steal the spotlight is less insufferable.
