- Comment on No Screens Before Two: Inside The UK’s Tough New Guidance For Babies And Toddlers 2 days ago:
My child psych professor was adamant about this damn near fifteen years ago, it’s pretty well established that there is basically no amount of screen time that doesn’t make kids worse off.

The people pushing those laws super don’t care 😒
- Comment on 'You're negotiating with yourself': Iranian colonel mocks Trump over peace talk claims 3 days ago:
I have to caveat any praise of Iran with “theocrats still suck” but it is fun to watch them go to town on the biggest jerk on the planet
- Comment on Is it "weird" for kids to co-sleep with parents through their teenage years? 4 days ago:
I only did that as a young kid after getting night terrors. Around 8 I stopped entirely? I may have a touch of childhood amnesia though.
My kid is about 8 now, and he’s welcome to join us near the mornings, but his hypermobility and the fact that our bed is quite hot already makes joining us in the middle of the night a total non-starter. Nowadays we just soothe and reassure, then tuck him back in.

- Comment on Nier Automata 5 days ago:
I bounced off this game myself. I was drawn in by the hype, but after I recovered from spontaneously transforming into a cartoon wolf, I was left with a game that just feels like it gets in its own way trying to force a sense of spectacle and gravitas.
- Comment on Finishing a video game can trigger “post-game depression,” study finds 5 days ago:
I get that. For me the first playthrough carries with it an emotional finality because my time is more limited, and I know I’m too drawn to new games to linger once I have a sense of completion. A game has only to cleverly deny me that feeling, and I’ll spend hundreds of hours on it. Slay the Spire did that well, but I know Silksong won’t - because the story hits harder.
- Comment on Finishing a video game can trigger “post-game depression,” study finds 6 days ago:
I straight up stopped playing Silksong when I got to the endgame bosses. I’m not ready to say goodbye. I’m lucky to have unfinished business with older games in my collection, but I’ve also literally bought and beaten other games since then as well. It’s an emotional reluctance for sure.

Cartoons are so much more honest than reality TV. I’m glad I never caught that bug
- Comment on Pretty much it. 1 week ago:
Trying to carve out spaces that are free from political speech is inherently a political stance. I don’t relish that we live in political times either, but that isn’t a good solution.
- Comment on My kind of Doctor 1 week ago:
I haven’t done much with turn based tactical games in recent years, I think my fav aspect of TBW is how the fictional conceits have a fun way of justifying the gameplay, and really taking those ideas as far as possible. Some of the later battles are so elaborately orchestrated that it’s impossible to conceptualise the actual sequence of events, but it all hangs together because it’s a story about an actual wizard with time powers. I also like that the protagonists are generally non lethal, it makes them more genuinely heroic rather than just “the best at killing”.
- Comment on My kind of Doctor 1 week ago:
It’s rare I find a game that I will play straight through and beat, these days. I hope you’ll circle back to it occasionally, the story is really satisfying to finish.
- Comment on Hard no bud 1 week ago:
I didn’t think either of us were particularly bent out of shape about it, pretty minor misunderstanding. I feel like we can all walk away friends unless we try to litigate this? I dunno
- Comment on Hard no bud 1 week ago:
People are allowed to be particular about pronouns. I just tagged that account she/her, it’s not a hill unless we make it one. Helps if they do that themselves, but I can hardly criticise.
- Comment on Hard no bud 1 week ago:
Maybe? I didn’t mean any offense, buddies are any gender for me and anyone can be like my kid, who happens to be a lad. At least until I’m notified to the contrary…
- Comment on Hard no bud 1 week ago:
Sorry bud. Might be a bit of the old ADHD, if you’re anything like my charming young lad

Yeah corpos don’t respect consumers or norms of human dignity, they’ll just do what they want more quietly if you complain. The only real solution is to break up monopolies (ideally for the last several decades).
- Comment on Hard no bud 1 week ago:
The joke is deliberately horrible, but if you’ve ever been infodumped by a kid with pressured speech who can’t organise their thoughts and you have auditory processing issues it’s also horribly relatable, a bit.

Yeah, there’s a way to make the point that democrats are just part of a larger system of violence but this ain’t it, and it’s barely even on topic.
- Comment on As a Chinese American, if I wanna travel internationally, is it better to just say I'm American, or pretend to be a Chinese National (to hide from Anti-American sentinments)? 1 week ago:
It’s true. As an American immigrant, I occasionally have to remind myself that I hate America more sincerely than anyone I’m likely to meet. Even people who talk shit about the US do so inexpertly, to my ear… But I am happy to indulge them.

- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 1 week ago:
I mean yeah, we’re none of us pro-invasion here. Glad I’m not Zelensky right now, I’ll be damned if I would know how to walk the knife edge between public support, effective war strategy, domestic policy, and how to stay on Trump’s good side all at once. Nobody’s going to come out of this situation looking heroic, I think.
- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 1 week ago:
The waters are a little muddier than that, since Iranian weapons have been hitting Ukraine for ages. There’s not much hypocrisy to be had there, it’s just sad.
