- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 16 hours ago:
Absolute nonsense for this post to have 61 comments and none of them have mentioned Outer Wilds yet. Echoes of the Eye could be its own separate answer to this as well. Take a listen to this track, it is the essence of adventure in audio form

The Opened Way is the greatest fantasy boss fight music ever composed
The intro piece is another favourite of mine. So fantastically atmospheric, melancholy and hopeful and lonely all at once
- Comment on Ukraine Sends Evidence of 10,000 Russian Chemical Attacks to The Hague 4 days ago:
Okay, but the article is from over a year ago
- Comment on Ukraine Sends Evidence of 10,000 Russian Chemical Attacks to The Hague 4 days ago:
Ukraine was still a signatory to the mines one when that article was written. Still is now, I think, but has announced it will withdraw. The cluster bombs point is correct though
- Comment on Ukraine Sends Evidence of 10,000 Russian Chemical Attacks to The Hague 4 days ago:
Probably specifically because they have non-war uses (even if the police ones shouldn't be used like that, they currently are). The convention classifies chemical weapons differently depending on their civilian uses, so you can stockpile a lot of pesticide without attracting attention much more easily than you can stockpile a lot of novichok
- Comment on Ukraine Sends Evidence of 10,000 Russian Chemical Attacks to The Hague 4 days ago:
Chloropicrin isn't tear gas, it's a pesticide that's poisonous to humans. It was used in WW1 because it can circumvent and damage gas masks, and it absolutely can kill
Russia is a signatory to both the 1925 Protocol and the 1993 Convention against using chemical weapons (the latter of which even specifically names chloropicrin), so usage of these - even the ones police use - is a war crime
Also, really, is "American police use them" a defence?
- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 5 days ago:
I want to hear the original version of the soundtrack. I do not care about the actual film at all, but supposedly Cameron hired a bunch of leading ethnomusicologists to attempt to create something unlike any music on Earth, only to then ditch the majority of what they made because it sounded too weird

He's working hard on his PhD in comfiness
- Comment on Metroidbrainia: An in-depth exploration of knowledge-gated games 1 week ago:
There's a great video of the Outer Wilds devs watching someone speedrun their game, and at the end of it one of them jokes, "We made a very short game"
This article is about to make my steam wishlist a good chunk longer, I think
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 week ago:
There was also a UK petition, which has also cleared the required threshold. Are those the out-of-EU signatures you mean?
- Comment on North Korea and South Korea isn't working. Let's try West Korea and East Korea instead. 2 weeks ago:
The only real way to divide Korea is into Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. We can call them North, West, and East Korea though

An unorthodox way to correct the geographical travesty of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe being less than 200 metres from creating the world's only international quadripoint
- Comment on Interesting 2 weeks ago:
They're still not fully-developed, it's marbles all the way up as depicted in this documentary from 1997
- Comment on Lemmy is ... ahhrrr, c'mon ... WTF? ... the door! ... who the hell would ... ? ... where is this darn towel ... AHHH, FUUU ... hnnnrrghhh ... 2 weeks ago:
It's a shame that it's not real, it would be a funny counterpart to the UK grid having to anticipate the half time break in major football games because everyone simultaneously puts the kettle on
