- Comment on Star Wars Zero Company forces you into permadeath so you can see "what's on the other side of the experience" 2 weeks ago:
Interesting reasoning. I think they could have made it optional, but I suppose they’re balancing the whole game around it, so maybe it would have made a non-permadeath playthrough too easy/unbalanced.

“dig it up”. I see what you did there

Was that comment written by ChatGPT?
- Comment on Finishing a video game can trigger “post-game depression,” study finds 2 weeks ago:
My point is that a lot of papers that make headlines have participants numbering in the single or double digits, so this is at least better than that. Your point (I assume) is that a low number of participants should be viewed skeptically, and I agree with that.

What do you mean?
- Comment on Finishing a video game can trigger “post-game depression,” study finds 2 weeks ago:
More like a hypothesis generating survey than an actual research paper. Even so, those are better numbers than a lot of other science headlines have (by orders of magnitude).

I can’t imagine a game ever living up to what that trailer promises. I’m not sure whether to thank you or curse you for that experience.

That’s crazy talk! What kind of lunatic would make a password without at least 3 symbols?!

Recommending that might be tantamount to manslaughter. Better check with a lawyer first.

I agree. I absolutely loved this game, but I worry if I played it again it wouldn’t live up to my memory of it.

I know you meant mauled, but the image of a giant cat mailing sticking you in a box and mailing you to the reaper was just too funny 🤣

You might need them for ultra-bosses that reward ultimate ultimate weapons.

Yeah it’s from gamingonlinux, which is usually gaming related.

This sounds cool. Definitely going on my wishlist

My self named characters in most games are called Max Power (from that episode of the Simpsons where Homer changes his name).

I can’t imagine playing GW2 on a controller. I had to buy an MMO mouse to have more buttons to bind stuff to.
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 5 months ago:
I admit I also thought they were trying to basically replace java edition with bedrock, so I’m not sure. Just trying to make sense of this move without assuming that Microsoft is being nice about something
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 5 months ago:
What proportion of those sales are for Java edition? This sounds like an attempt to make mods and therefore java edition into a more popular/appealing product. They know that most users are not going to do anything with source code.

I couldn’t read past the part of the article where he insists (at great length) that epoch is usually pronounced identically to epic.

FIFA, finally realising that soccer is fucking boring, experiments with different ball shapes, player numbers, and even number of dimensions, in a desperate attempt to make the sport watchable again.

Carbon was my peak NFS experience.
- Comment on Day 373 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 8 months ago:
That’s the right approach, for sure. My wife and I watched it, me having played the game, and her having tangentially seen me playing bits and pieces but basically knowing nothing about the plot. It was interesting comparing her reactions with mine, but I think I got more out of the show being able to compare to my memory of the game.

Easily one of the best games of all time, imho.

The part of the urethra that passes through the prostate is usually bent. As I said, I’m only guessing, but I think by angling the penis down and pushing the prostate forward from behind, it should make it less of a sharp angle for the scope to pass through, therefore reducing pain and risk of urethral injury.
