- Comment on There is probably a subsection of vampires that use careful sun exposure as tattoos or bodymods 1 week ago:
Also in general the notion that good things happen during day and those active during the night are nefarious and untrustworthy.
- Comment on Outer Wilds. Should my first time be in VR? 1 week ago:
Funnily enough piloting the ship is probably mostly fine, because you have the cockpit as anchor point and also you are mostly in space without a lot of close reference points to upset your stomach.
- Comment on Outer Wilds. Should my first time be in VR? 1 week ago:
I played it first in VR and I had a great experience. So I say go for it. Experiencing certain moments and views for the first time in VR is great. And just floating in space is also wonderful.
- Comment on Your TV Is Spying On You 1 week ago:
Yeah it contributes to the discussion with the simple solution on how not to be spied on by your TV, in an admittedly patronising way.
- Comment on Chains of Lukomoyre is a Slavic folklore, post-WW1 take on the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice 1 week ago:
Looks interesting, too bad though that it is developed by a russian studio. Maybe in the future I can buy it.
- Comment on Announcements on the train should refer to "port / starboard side" instead of "left / right in the direction of travel", when pointing to the exits. 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on So close! 4 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on MEGA PENGUIN 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, somebody didn’t read their At the Mountains of Madness.
- Comment on Enemy Mind is a PC game about psychically possessing ships. In 2015, I was just trying to hijack a moment of peace. 5 weeks ago:
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? 1 month 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.
- Comment on [META] MangaDex policy change 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 months 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 2 months 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.

I played the GOG version and it worked fine.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 2 months ago:
We laughed at the Republican party maybe 10 years ago, nowadays there are a lot of far right parties getting strong all over Europe =(

You want history books and “We didn’t start the fire”? I got the right video for you!
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 2 months ago:
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)? 3 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 3 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? 3 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.
