I suppose he could try to have hit incompetent personal army arrest any candidate he thinks cheated.
- Comment on Steam Quietly Withdraws Under Fire MMO Ashes of Creation From Sale As Fans Wonder Who's Left to Maintain the Servers 4 days ago:
I was hoping it would become what they were trying to sell, but I had every expectation of it becoming everything that is wrong about MMOs. The biggest sign was demanding $100 for people to be alpha testers. You should be paying people that instead.

Why do you think they named the movie and holiday groundhog day? From the rodents waking up from a months long coma? That’d be silly. It has always been about time loop.

I’ve never actually heard of anyone in Denmark getting in trouble for downloading stuff. Sure, some get in trouble by selling it, but supporting piracy just to turn around and selling pirated stuff is fucking hypocritcal anyway.
- Comment on "We can't just continue making the map bigger and bigger": Why Bethesda want to expand Fallout 76 inwards, not just outwards 6 days ago:
I think it’s a tough balance. If I want to be immersed, there needs to be places where there’s nothing. The world is full of places with nothing going on, and games should be allowed to reflect this. A game that is filled to the brim is stressful. My best example of this is Old School Runescape vs Runescape 3. Old School has plenty of places without anything actually useful, and it makes the places with something meaningful even more so. Runescape 3 is filled to the brim with all kinds of bullshit. It’s literally impossible to walk for 30 seconds, without having something light up like a giant neon sign with the writing “PAY ATTENTION TO ME, LOOK HOW MUCH CONTENT THERE IS”. It feels incredibly claustrophibic and like the game is doing everything it can to make you do anything but what you set out to do.
Of course, as mentioned at first, there needs to be balance, and a lot of open world games have had a very hard time finding this balance, but I really like those places where it’s just a field with nothing particularly going on. It can serve as great world building to show that sometimes, a place is just a place, and doesn’t have to be anything but a place.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 director agrees with No Rest for the Wicked lead that Early Access is "a positive thing" for games like their two RPGs – when it works 1 week ago:
While 7 days was tumultous at best, they’ve reached a pretty good point by now.
I do agree with you though, that having a proper direction and being clear about that direction to your fanbase makes for a much better early access period.
Like The Culling which completely ruined their own game because the devs thought they should move in one direction, but their fans and players thought the plan was completely different, having bought the game with a completely different direction in mind.
In the end though, having played quite a few good early access games, releasing a game in early access by Larian is fucking cheap. They have plenty money to make a full release without the early access injection. I see no reason why a succesfull studio like them would need it. Early access is fine for smaller devs. For some it could mean the difference between a hobby project and a full time job.

I’m curious what made US companies that much more successful at destroying unions than the companies in my home, Denmark. It’s not like companies weren’t trying their hardest to fight unions in the early 1900’s. People died at the strikes and protests.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 1 week ago:
Oh absolutely. It’s just important to remember that they’ve been horrible for a long time, and has shown more ads in a single search than your average 30 minute youtube video.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 1 week ago:
Google became crap about 10 years ago when they added the product banner in the top, and had the first 5-10 search results be promoted ads. Long before they every considered adding AI.
- Comment on Built a partition to separate two rooms 1 week ago:
First get the hinge side of the frame level and in the position you want it. Screw it into the wall using full threaded screws. If you don’t use full threaded screws, the screws will pull on the frame and make it not-level.
Then put the door on the frame, and close it almost completely and adjust the side of the frame opposite of the hinges to make it fit the door. A good trick is to close the door until there’s only just a tiny sliver of a gap, then make the gap equal by adjusting the frame.
Congratz, you just installed a door in about 10 minutes!
This is how I’ve installed hundreds of doors as a carpenter.

- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 2 weeks ago:
it wasn’t a “landing” they crashed their lander into the moon to measure seismic data. They basically did an orbital strike with a bus. It vibrated for a long time because there isn’t much to dampen the vibration when most of the surface is hard rock with no moisture.
- Comment on A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate 2 weeks ago:
They are not new technology the idea has been around since at least the 1980s. There is a reason we don’t use them and it’s because they are mechanically complicated and inefficient
Not trying to completely throw away your comment here, but I saw this exact same comment repeated ad nauseum about electric cars 15 years ago.

I don’t think ignorance is wholesome. Ignorance leads to fear of the unknown, of which there are a lot. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to fascism.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
Excel depends on the usage. Way too many people want to use it for what it’s bad at, but technically can do, instead of using it for what it’s good at.
I’m fairly decent at using Excel, and have automated some database dependent tasks for my coworkers through it, which saves us a lot of time doing menial tasks no one actually wants to do.
- Comment on Hard drive prices have surged by an average of 46% since September — iconic 24TB Seagate BarraCuda now $500 as AI claims another victim 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve grown a bit over the last 15-ish years, but a computer also seems to perform better for longer now. My 1070 I bought in 2016 (I think?) was clearly starting to lack behind with newer games after 4 years. My current 3070, which is 4 years old now, just keeps performing in new games.

I don’t wash windows, but that is me while walking anywhere public. I’ll be hugging a fucking wall trying to leave space for people, while they’ll walk in the middle of the god damn sidewalk and still bump into me. Why do people not value personal space?

So your proof is that a couple people on Reddit also think that?
