  Are they finding the person who decided to test the edibility of the corpse nest?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨vivipary in tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This would happen to me sometimes with home grown tomatos. Maybe it in part has to do with store bought are usually picked under ripe so they survive getting to the shelves? Or could be whatever mystery variety I was planting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 606 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So many fond memories of Halo 3. That and Halo 2 are the only shooters I’ve ever really liked and there was always something special about hanging out in person to play them

  Oh good. I’ve been working on a setting for some-odd 16 years now. One of the earliest concepts in it is how the galaxy is run by an AI that subtly alters interstellar communications to influence things at scale without being discovered. Love that one of my existential fears of the future gets a shot at playing out irl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also the feedback loop where they point at the broken underfunded public services and are like “see how shit public services are? They’re a waste of taxes. We could gut them to save you money”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video game PEGI age-ratings are changing in Europe from June. Four new categories added to tackle elements of addictive design, unmonitored online communication and loot boxes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically the whole game lol. But off the top of my head a specific example is fishing crates are loot boxes. I don’t think it falls under the same category as being addictive as a core design choice or for money though it’s just legit an amazing game with a gameplay loop that draws you in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Put the shoes on⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who would routinely go around Seattle naked on my bike this is 100% true. Something about shoes and a helmet feels way more naked than actually naked

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🍌 GET YER NFTS HERE 🍎⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reverse image search I found somewhere saying they’re Grenadine apples. But there are several types that are pink in the middle. My personal favorite apple ever are Lucy Glo which are also pink 🩷

  Gets even more fun when you move to another country and are coordinating calls back home and realize different countries have different days they switch the clocks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This shit is why I only use discord on the browser and try not to directly link any accounts anywhere. Anything sniffing around my executables and talking between them is sketchy. Anything asking for access to my other accounts is sketchy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While growing up my family once a year would take a 20 hour car trip to visit extended family for a couple weeks then 20 hours back. Parents would do five hour shifts and get the whole thing done in one go. Shift changes meant refuel, bathroom, that’s it. Other than that there was no stopping unless it was a “the next bump in the road I will 100% shit myself” kind of an emergency

  Now personally I’d argue maybe we shouldn’t have been taking road trips in that manner because it’s like putting your body through a meat grinder. But if trips like that are someone’s goal I doubt there are many charging stations in the middle of absolutely nowhere that can fully charge an EV in the time it takes to pee. I’m hoping though maybe a shift to EVs will change the way people approach long road trips to actually force them to take breaks

  Smell is a big part of attraction for me and the two places you can get the best smell of a person are pits and bits

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally a possible path toward peace in this long war⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have a source on it being the very first? I’m seeing one that came out in March 2016 which certainly makes it early but far from being the very first one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Living in Seattle there weren’t like extreme weather swings but there are days where you get to see several types of weather softly cycle through. Sometimes in the winter I’d get snow and rain and sun and fog all in a single day, or days where I look in one direction and it’s rain and can’t see the sky and look the other direction and it’s blue skies and sun. Seattle has such stellar rainbows because of this

  I’m from the US and say tuna fish for canned tuna, just saying tuna can be sushi or like frozen fish. The US is huge it’s probably regional

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I am going to punch you" WHAT A BOSS!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to feel this too but honestly it’s been Nazi punching time for a while now. They’re not just trolling anymore they’re actively pushing the envelope for what were willing to normalize. I hope they get their jaw broken next time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am a programmer and I do not use AI, I’m going to school with some programmers who also do not use AI (some do some don’t). I don’t need luck to find like minded people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m working towards starting my own indie studio. Games are made for people to experience people emotions and it takes a person to be able to understand them in a way that can be accurately conveyed. When I make my studio there will be no generative AI, not in the product not in development. Probably there is a way to use it to streamline some stuff and I’d argue it’s difficult but possible to use it ethically but why the fuck would I want a computer to do my art for me? Why would I want to rob myself or my team of the opportunity to express themselves to other humans?

  I made an AI generated cupcake recipe a while back. It was fine, it covered the bases, ratios were more or less correct, if someone were to give me one I’d eat it and not complain. But it was a technically correct cupcake not a good cupcake. It had no love, you could tell it had no love. People joke about that but it’s a real thing there’s something extra humans can do that AI can’t yet and maybe never will be able to, or not in a way humans relate with well. We’ve known how to make games with no love for a while now, that’s capitalism, but AI let’s us freeze dry the love out of everything at scale and the companies behind them are telling us that’s a good thing. Fuck that I’m not buying into it. I don’t make games for money, I barely make games for other people, tbh it isn’t even that fun most the time, I make games because it’s what makes the most sense to me for self expression. Games are what I know how to pour the most love into and an AI won’t help me with that.

  I wonder if taking up running would help speed up that process?

  As an Arch user (which I use btw) I take offense to this stereotype

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s uncommon but anecdotally the only people I know personally that have that are also diabetic. I’m not a doctor but if it were me I’d at least keep an eye out for other signs just in case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teach me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the person. I’ve had friends who get them all the time from basically any water. Meanwhile I can flop around in stillwater or death smelling run off and I’ve never gotten one
