A polished turd no less!
- Comment on Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 3 days ago:
Mine pass the surrounding noise through the microphone and back through the buds so I can hear my surroundings much better than if I wasn’t wearing them.

Blueprints don’t fail, people really really often do though. People measure wrong, or build on the wrong side of the line they’ve drawn. It’s not a question about “Is it essential”, it’s a question about “Will it make it easier, faster and less errorprone”.

I’ve worked in construction, and now work as a CAD specialist, so I know your pain, but the problem with “how to actually put a building together” is a very wide issue, also present with engineers and architects.
- Comment on Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet 4 days ago:
I read an article about it a while ago, and that said it’d be tethered to the ground, and power would be transfered through the tether.

It would be incredibly useful in construction. Having a digital overlay telling you exactly where to put up the framing for a separating wall, or an overlay showing the correct distance between screws, or where wires and pipes are inside a wall? There are so incredibly many awesome possible uses for AR in construction.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 4 days ago:
Why would the car already be at the car wash if you ask it wether or not you should drive there?
- Comment on Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 robot vacuums 6 days ago:
My vacuum is unfortunately connected to the internet. It doesn’t seem to have a clue what my house looks like though. It keeps fucking up the map, rotating it and then tries to drive through walls to get to non excisting rooms.

Sure, but only if it instead gives people a type of incurable cancer in about 30 years.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 1 week ago:
I used to care quite a lot about graphics, but as the years have passed, I find graphically beautiful games less pleasing than a lot of the older games. It all seems too rounded and smooth now. I’ve been playing a lot of Project Diablo 2 lately, but when the new character dropped for Diablo 2 Resurrected, I figured I should give that a shot. While the graphics are definately nice, and the gameplay is smooth, I prefer the older graphics, because the griddy, slightly pixelated world adds so much to the dark and gloomy theme.
I’ve also just absolutely had it with every single Unreal Engine game looking exactly the same. Did the devs just lose all individual artistry?
Sometimes less is just more.
- Comment on Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform 1 week ago:
There was no doubt in my school in NZ who was poor and who wasn’t, based on how someone’s clothes fit them or how worn they were. The youngest in a poor family would have some very worn clothes that had been passed down from their siblings. Often 2 sizes too big or too small.
- Comment on Sony-led program offers PS5 rentals starting at $13.50 a month in the UK across 12, 24, or 36-month leases — console has to be returned at the end of the contract 1 week ago:
Let me guess, if it isn’t in 100% mint condition when you return it, you get to pay for it, including a service fee of 150€ for their inconvenience.
- Comment on Lemmynsfw is down, possibly forever. The server is still serving images and videos though - if anyone wants to archive do it now! 2 weeks ago:
Well maybe it should be.
- Comment on Embark would like you all to play nice in Arc Raider's temporary PvE event Shared Watch, which starts today 2 weeks ago:
Which is what always seems to happen (The cheaters). That or a shitty matchmaking system that throws you against people who practically live in the game. I’m just not about to try to compete against people like that. I have a life. I don’t mind pvp games. But it’s not going to be something where I actually lose progress when I get fucked by some 12 year old.
- Comment on Physics building game Besiege heads into space with The Broken Beyond expansion 2 weeks ago:
I’ve gotten a lot of hours of entertainment from that aswell. We need more devs like these.
- Comment on Embark would like you all to play nice in Arc Raider's temporary PvE event Shared Watch, which starts today 2 weeks ago:
I’ll play when there’s a non-temporary pve mode. I have no interest in the pvp aspect.

I think I bought Terraria about 14 or 15 years ago, and it’s still getting content updates.

- Comment on Steam Quietly Withdraws Under Fire MMO Ashes of Creation From Sale As Fans Wonder Who's Left to Maintain the Servers 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on xkcd #3202: Groundhog Day Meaning 3 weeks ago:
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.

- Comment on Danish Students Face Legal Action and Fines Over Textbook Piracy 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.
