• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo deserves a lot of shit for their business decisions, but not for their art directions. windwaker and sunshine still look good to this day by simply appling higher resolutions and some anti aliasing. No game with “realistic graphics” has ever stood the test of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Weight is in pounds. Only pounds. don’t ask me how much a gram or a ton is.

  Volume, though, I still remember “Gallon Man” from 1st grade.

  2 cups in a pint

  2 pints in a quart

  4 quarts in a gallon

  What’s after gallons? not a clue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, it sucks. There’s no actual case for imperial over metric. it’s just what I’ve spent years getting used to and I’m not changing now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The dark side can be a pathway to many abilities some might consider … stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know right? it’s such an intuitive system with a convenient unit for every scale you might want to work with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to convert between imperial units, going straight from feet to miles is impractical. You’d be better off knowing the chart of survey units, and they’re all small numbers so they’re easy to remember.

  12 inches in a foot

  3 feet in a yard

  22 yards in a chain

  10 chains in a furlong

  8 furlongs in a mile

  Of course, i know this because I do 3d art in blender and refuse to set it to metric.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent 3 hours stuck on one boss fight.

  In most games, finally beating it would have me saying “thank fuck its over”.

  In silksong, I’m saying “fuck yeah that was a good boss”. It’s a very different feeling, and one that I haven’t had the pleasure of enjoying in quite some time.

  That said.

  I think both hollow knight and silksong should have easy modes. It would be fine. It doesn’t hurt me any that someone else can have an easier time. People need to remember that video games are entertainment, and the sweaty “hardcore gamers” can fuck off with their usual judgemental elitism.

  Blender has addons for parametric workflows. Actually, there’s plugins to do anything you want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s one of the common excuses that the mills quote. It’s bullshit of course, but it sounds plausible so they continue to get away with it.

  Another bullshit excuse is that they’re providing an additional service by milling and planing the lumber for you, and that the nominal measurement is before that process.

  It’s all just greed. If they could get away with selling a 2x4 that was half an inch thick, they would. At least it’s all standardized now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨asked and answered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll tell you when we were great. It’s when I was a kid and didn’t know how fucked shit was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say hello to Bary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because a more accurate description exists, doesn’t mean that the less accurate description is fundamentally wrong. Depending on context, the less accurate description may be perfectly suitable for the subject at hand. If your priority is to be the most correct, then by all means go ahead and use the more accurate description.

  I think this logic applies to a lot of things.

  I’ve recently decided that I’m not spending more than $10 on a game until I’ve cleaned out my backlog.

  There’s hundreds of games in my backlog, so it’s going to be a while.

  I remember. My family was always poor but my parents understood the value of technology. all of us had pcs, and we had a nintendo in the living room.

  Granted, we were poor, so the tech we hooked up to the tv was a bit behind. I was hype as fuck to finally have a copy of The Guardian Legend for NES while my best friend was playing mario sunshine.

  I think I had the better childhood.
