- Comment on similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it? 17 hours ago:
It’s not a game I ended up playing a lot, but during the pandemic one person I know gifted me a copy of Among Us, and kept insisting I play with him and his friends. I was reluctant at first because I’ve never had good experiences with multiplayer games, but I ended up having a great time. They were on Discord with mics, but I was text-only, and it was funny hearing them when I was the Impostor. When they all went to bed, I continued playing with some randoms for a few more hours, and also had a great time, some were sad when I decided to finally leave.
- Comment on Does Coke Zero taste different in the UK vs. the USA? 2 days ago:
I feel like I’m the only one who understood your question, and sadly I don’t live in either country, so I can’t say.
I do recall that when I switched from Diet Coke to Coke Zero (for some reason there was a shortage of Diet but not Zero), it took me a while to get used to it because Zero tastes way sweeter.

It’s honestly a bit worrying. I’ve been noticing the same trend with cars, where the user has less and less control and knowledge of how their car works.
And I think, contrary to the apparent end goal (to simplify things), this makes everything extremely complex, and it’ll bite us in the ass.

I don’t get it. Can I tell it to move a file from one folder to the other? Can I ask it to give me a diff of two folders? Or tell me if files are missing from one folder? Can it keep a sync between folders? Last time I checked, it only answered a bunch of simple questions.
What can this thing do that they keep trying to push it so bad?
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
GTAV. I don’t care for the story or the shooting aspect, I just love to drive or walk around. I can’t do either irl, so I love it when games give me the option.

I never understood how to install any of it. In the time it’d take me to understand any of it, I’d have found 200 torrents. 😂
It kind of reminds me of my attempts at automating a simple, repetitive task on the desktop, and in the middle of it I’m like “fuck this!” and just end up doing it manually, and faster.
- Comment on European banks to launch euro stablecoin in bid to counter US dominance 3 weeks ago:
For countries where the currency is unstable, stable currency is a way to protect one’s savings.
Where I’m from, historically you’d save in USD. But in the last few years, the market has imposed dumb obstacles, like the paper notes being completely unblemished (something that isn’t even a thing in the US, as far as I’m aware). That’s where stablecoins have been useful for the locals.
