I just noticed the poster… What the hell is up with that raised leg? Is it pervert bait?
- Comment on Flashbacks scenes in Movies/TV should be depicted as being more blurry than present scenes, since most people can't actually remember a past event that accurately. 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes they’re desaturated.
Sometimes they’re 3:4.
Sometimes they’re straight-up black and white.
Changing something about the appearance of of the image is done often. But I don’t think blurry would do unless it’s a really short flashback. It would either look like a mistake (camera not in focus for instance), not be intense enough to be apparent on smaller or lower resolution TVs, or be distracting and annoying to the viewer (say, some sort of foveated motion blur).

I’ve played it once in the past. Just the normal poker with five cards in your hand and you get two rounds of changing cards.
It was fun.
I lost 2 imaginary dollars.
- Comment on Truly 3 weeks ago:
I guess, but at that point I can do that in your average JRPG or something. I feel like it would be more fun with people. Unless they’re paying the Texas game with all the cards in the middle. That one is complicated and you only have two cards of yours and I really don’t have fun with it.
- Comment on Truly 3 weeks ago:
I don’t get slot machines. They’re not even slightly fun.
I wish casinos had fun games with small bets. Like, I don’t know, poker where you can play several hands with 20 dollars.
But as it stands, I don’t think I’ll ever visit a casino again. It’s either boring slots or you need to be rich to play the “real” games.

Uh, high school science teacher. Never really looked it up until today but considering there’s science on the reverse effect (less oxygen for slower aging), I’d say it’s probably not bullshit.
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 4 weeks ago:
Damn it
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 4 weeks ago:
I just meant breathing more oxygen makes you agree faster
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 4 weeks ago:
Oxygen chamber? Sounds like a great way to die early
- Comment on Don't get mad, get even 5 weeks ago:
Microwaves designed for public use often don’t have them. I never really knew whether it’s because they don’t need them because they have more magnetrons or something, or just because they prioritize easy cleaning.

Curie looks tired. If I’m gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I’ll invite her and we’ll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.

Absolute madness.

Asterisk: there is such a thing as “minimum wage for tipped workers”, which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces.
For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$.
And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.

I didn’t know a transaction could be updated after the fact. That’s wild.

You WRITE the tip amount on the receipt? How does the payment terminal know how much to take?
- Comment on 13 skeletons 2 months ago:
Granted. The wish spell has never existed, so you can’t use it.
- Comment on 13 skeletons 2 months ago:
Isn’t that killing the thief rogue subclass’s use magic device ability?
- Comment on 13 skeletons 2 months ago:
Hmm, that works, but only for spells in your class list. That won’t allow you to cast legend lore as a wizard, for instance
- Comment on Eksbawks 3 months ago:
I hope we can reach the point where everything is convenient to switch to whatever you preference/physical controller is in every game.
Maybe one day.
- Comment on Eksbawks 3 months ago:
I like their button layout better though.
- Comment on 13 skeletons 3 months ago:
Ah, that’s the risky use of Wish though. It comes with a chance of losing the spell forever.
- Comment on Eksbawks 3 months ago:
Xbox has influenced PC gaming too much for that.
- Comment on 13 skeletons 3 months ago:
Wish, but for emulating other spells. Literally anything I want, of 8th level or lower, as if it was already prepared? So handy.

Ah, I see. A pity.
- Comment on 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY 3 months ago:
I loved my Switch 1 pro controller until the L/R/ZL/ZR buttons started losing reliability. They wouldn’t register unless I pressed really hard, or would cut when I was trying to hold them pressed. I imagine the new one has similar issues.
But wait your say the Switch 2 one has analog triggers now? Ugh. I hate analog triggers.
- Comment on 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth announced with swappable magnetic ABXY 3 months ago:
What are those L2/R2 buttons like when you switch their mode?
Do they resemble what we had on PS2 (feels like just a button)?
If so, I’m really interested. Damn gradual triggers do NOT work well with most games where you want precision for those button presses.

Looks like a pretty low tax rate to me.

You mean, beep when they’re finished?
Many microwaves have a semi-hidden feature to mute all sounds. Usually involves long-pressing one of the number buttons.
