- Comment on Do you preorder games? 45 minutes ago:
Never. I won’t buy a game until I’ve tried it. If no demo is available, I’ll pirate it first, and then buy it later if its good.

- Comment on Is it unusual if I am a woman but I do not smell "fishy" down there? 1 week ago:
“fishy” = bacterial vaginosis
The common scent element in cis women is “tangy”.
Estrogen causes the vaginal walls to secrete glycogen, which gets eaten by lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid.
Lack of tanginess can be caused by low estrogen levels. It tells us about your current endocrine ecology, not your gender identity.

- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t count on it anytime soon. The data center build out is a years long process, and even after they get built, their owners will want to use the initially installed hardware for as long as possible before upgrading.
Expect demand for new RAM to remain higher than it was before the AI datacenter build out began. Maybe not as high as it is right now, but some degree of increased demand will be permanent due to the increased count of datacenters that will eventually want to replace their obsolete, worn out hardware.
There might eventually be a larger supply of used RAM on the market, but a lot of it might not be compatible with mid-shelf consumer grade motherboards.

that’s why cows fart so much - cows are made of air
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 4 weeks ago:
Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you’ve mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

Squinting at you, Hearthstone.
- Comment on There should be a "last used combination" faucet handle for sinks so you don't have to balance hot and cold everytime during winter 5 weeks ago:
I’ve never seen one. We’ve got on-demand water heaters that feed entire homes, but the electric versions are notorious for breaking a lot. The trend is toward heat pump hot water storage tanks that cool the air around them and put that heat into the water tank.
- Comment on What is the point of posting on the fediverse if it is going to be moderated similarly to Reddit? 5 weeks ago:
I left for the opposite reason. Reddit does not have enough moderation, and they gave me a temp ban for reporting someone advocating political violence.

Its Orwellian double-speak. It implements restrictions on how people in Montana are allowed to use their personal property (computers) where no restrictions existed before.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 month ago:
Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.
There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.
5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.
For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20
In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter’s attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).
All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.

The most disappointing part of school is taking a 101 class and making a bunch of deductions based on what you learn, and then taking the 201 and learning that other people had the same ideas first.

Weakness to Magic stacks exponentially with itself when it comes from 2 different spells.
For example, lets say you have 2 spells with Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds: Spell 1, and Spell 2.
Spell 1: target becomes 100% weak to magic
Spell 2: target becomes 2100% = 200% weak to magic recast Spell 1: target becomes 2200% = 400% weak to magic recast Spell 2: target becomes 2*400% = 800% weak to magicAnd so on. After a few stacks of that debuff, and you can 1-hit-kill any foe with a spell that deals damage.
Weakness to Magic also works on the player character and it will amplify the effect of buffs. Stacking it before casting your buff spells lets you walk around with millions of health, stamina, and mana for short periods of time.
- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 2 months ago:
the school’s owner siphons off all the resources, leaving very little for the teachers, staff, and students to utilize.
2 guys cook cafeteria fare for the whole school - they don’t have time to get fancy. they want to make good food, even though they don’t get paid very well, but the ingredients they’re given are mid shelf cans of things purchased from bulk warehouse stores like Costco or Sam’s Club or whatever the local equivalent is. it tastes decent and checks all the nutritional boxes, but is less exciting than food you can make at home or buy from a restaurant.

They’re still talking about doing it if they can’t raise enough money to make it through the next R&D cycle. The deals with Nvidia and USA’s federal government gets them about half way there.
