  In my city people often stand with bikes out strollers in the door area. Out sometimes it’s just really packed. When the opening side is announced, those that stand in the way can already make way (if they are considerate to their fellows) or know that they can relax and don’t need to move.

  Considering your username I give you a pass, but still:

  There have been many debates about the differentiation between vegetables and fruits. Genetic testing has mostly revealed it to be a human made distinction without any biological basis.

  But I think your comment is the first time I see somebody trying to argue that pasta are vegetables.

  Yeah, somebody didn’t read their At the Mountains of Madness.

  Nice post and fully agreed. It is a great and unique game. And yeah, it’s also important to realise that sometimes you will not like a thing. Because it isn’t your ‘stuff’, even if so many other are writing about how much it is theirs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t find reviews. What I did find was a 5 star based rating system which is not the same thing at all. With steam reviews the text is more relevant to me than if they did or did not recommend the game.

  And what is in your eyes the difference to MD having the liability? Both are fans doing things for the community.

  The person writing this knows it’s bad to be liable but expects MD to take that liability. Strange thought to me.

  I’m only a reader myself, but I stool thought everybody involved knew that the possibility of an DMCA takedown always existed.

  To be honest, the games are too for me to enjoy as games, but the story? Its great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think so, because If I remember correctly:

  When Bungie was bought by Sony, they specifically included in the contract that they get to make a Marathon game if Destiny 2 reaches certain goals. So they aimed for a marathon game for a long time and specifically included that in the negotiations. Beats me why they would do such a poor multiplayer take on the SINGLEPLAYER franchise that is fondly remembered by fans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, because they provide different services.

  To explain with an analogy:
  The streets and car producers are not responsible if I drive to the British museum to look at stolen art, but the museum itself is most definitely responsible, even though they themselves didn’t steal it but it was gifted to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As soon as you want to earn money with it, you are most definitely responsible for it in my eyes. At least when people tell you annoy problematic content on your platform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life is Strange road-trip⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the post, I always enjoy reading about people finding the real life inspirations of stories. And your pictures definitely invoked memories of Arcadia Bay bubbling up again. =D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[DISC] Ruri Dragon - Ch. 33 - Turf⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rarely do authors think about these kind of things.

  The big ice spike on her head looks like roughly 1 kg of ice.

  With the values for water content in the air from this table: at 30 °C (since the chapter is in summer) with roughly 30 g/m³, that would mean roughly 30 m³ at full water saturation would be needed to make this one ice shard.

  Which is possible considering the class room has probably something like (6x10x3 = 180 m³) as volume. But the picture at end with the buckets full of ice are most likely dragon magic or they would have needed to cool down and dehumify enough air to probably change the local weather.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly depression porn with a lot of crying, but not exactly badly written. Distopia also doesn’t really fit, the story plays in our time with magical sci-fi elements.

  What rebounding are you talking about? The Dow Jones is at a currently stable 10% lower than 1 last month. I don’t exactly see a rebound there, except the short high some high hours ago, which then decreased again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1993 Russia could never⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the second method. Of course the children are not going to make master pieces that are kept for multiple years, but it’s still a nice gift for grandparents etc. In central and eastern Europe, there are some longstanding traditions with that method of egg painting. And some are really great pieces of art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1993 Russia could never⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know some schools for example paint the eggs now, so the children/family can gift it to somebody or just so they hang already a while and don’t have to be taken down soon already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for explaining my point in more detail. They charge more because they can, correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would only be true if you ignore every other part of the price calculation. For example because the numbers of sold consoles are much higher than in the past, more people are buying the games, leading to more income for the game development cost, leading to the same prize.

  See? By ignoring every other influencing factor I can also argue the complete opposite of you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games other than Smite have a lot of pantheons (beyond Greek and Norse)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They obviously meant the Chinese add-on, which recently was released for the Remaster. The original Chinese add-on was only released 2016, so not even 10 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, but that wasn’t what the other comment demanded. If we treat other people like Nazis treat their victims, you are a Nazi yourself.

  That Nazis do not get the benefit of the doubt or a public soapbox or platform is something I agree with and hopefully what the other commentator meant instead of executions and ovens. But it is important to not dehumanise Nazis and not stoop to their level. They are all too human, that is the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suddenly I'm not allowed to do something I've been doing professionally for 18 months now. Is this something that benefits me?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea about your specific legal posthorn, as it heavily depends on where on earth you are.

  But what sprang immediately to my mind is that it sounds highly illegal if the manager is indeed right. So regarding the “benefiting you”: have a talk with your old manager about somebody telling the control instances of your profession or maybe they could help making the transition easier for you…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The borders are just WIDE OPEN though!!11!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not so well versed in American media to answer your question which left leaning media would be acceptable for lemmings.

  BUT the Washington post is really a bad example. Just a few days ago the billionaire owner himself published his decision to focus on defense of ‘free market’ and ‘personal liberty’ in the opinion section. And let’s not kid ourselves that he isn’t deciding the direction of the rest of the news paper, that’s the only reason why you buy one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mid games review: American McGee's Alice (2000) and Alice: Madness Returns (2011) PS3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ragnarrox did two very interesting video analyzing the themes and topics for each game (1, 2) and McGee himself commented on them that he felt understood.

  And I seriously think they did the first game dirty by porting it to consoles. It was designed and programmed with a certain input (keyboard+mouse) in mind, a controller will make the impression of the game much worse for the player.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU consumers don’t trust US goods: a look into Trump’s trade deficit claims⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Appreciate the discussion—it’s rare to find someone willing to engage beyond surface-level noise.

  Same to you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU consumers don’t trust US goods: a look into Trump’s trade deficit claims⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for your perspective.

  I don’t see counter tariffs as begging for scraps, but rather the easiest and quickest applied method to show that trying to force you is not without consequence and then afterwards you work on the other points your post mentioned.

  And your second paragraph is exactly why I asked the question and wanted to know your view. To a certain degree you need to play the bad game, even if you know it’s bad, if it’s the only way to proceed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU consumers don’t trust US goods: a look into Trump’s trade deficit claims⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, let me rephrase it again, so maybe it’s clearer what I want to know from you:

  Let’s say for arguments sake, the EU is the perfect government with perfect representation of everyone and perfect economic system to distribute to everyone’s need. So the the gay space communist utopia spoken of in ye olde memes of yore.

  But they don’t have every necessary resource on earth and need to trade with other countries, who are not yet as advanced as they are.

  Now one of those countries puts tariffs on the EU for bullshit reasons.

  How should this theoretical perfect EU react to those tariffs in your opinion?

  And just to be clear, I’m not happy with the current way of the EU at all, there is much change needed, but that is besides the point of my argument.
