- Comment on Stardew Valley enters the third dimension thanks to this in-development mod that even comes with VR functionality 3 days ago:
This is one of those projects that while I think its pointless, and probably makes a near perfect game worse. I’m happy the people doing it are having fun with it. (at least I hope they are)
- Comment on Every third emperor is a Casanova? 1 week ago:
Assuming 60 years of being capable. Thats 228 different women per day. Assuming you get 8hrs of sleep and are having sex non stop while awake, thats a different woman about every 4 minutes.
In other words, totally plausible if properly fed and hydrated.
- Comment on Oh lord yes 2 weeks ago:
It does seem to be a thing. Just not as common as some people want it to be.
- Comment on CD Projekt boss "knows for a fact" a surge of games made purely with generative AI are coming, but doubts "whether this is really the path to follow" 2 weeks ago:
Sadly, if large studios and popular IPs use it. A lot of people will still give them money for it.
- Comment on Burned out connector repair 3 weeks ago:
I have a 2003 Kenmoore fridge that came with the house that won’t die. Ice maker works perfect. No repairs needed in the decade I’ve had it.
- Comment on The Empire is Responsible for the Imperial System 4 weeks ago:
True “Lets go down to the pub for a 500 milliliter.” might actually be funnier.
- Comment on The Empire is Responsible for the Imperial System 4 weeks ago:
“Lets go down to the pub to have a liter.”
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 1 month ago:
Before self checkout I always sought out the dead eyed teenage cashier who looked like they didn’t want to be there. No small talk. Fantastic.
The worst are the grown woman cahiers who want to chat about every item you are buying.
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 1 month ago:
All the criticisms of self checkout are valid. Can’t argue against them.
However I’ve been kind of a fan since they first came out. Simply because I don’t have to make smalltalk with a cashier.
I have to to deal with customers all day at work. Shopping is a chore I want to be over with without having to further drain my limited extroversion tank.
- Comment on Are you looking for sketchy overhead storage you can roll up? Look no further (and don't stand under them)! 2 months ago:
Quick draws are the little bit of strap with a carabiner on both ends. One end clips into a bolt in the wall/rock, the other end clips around your rope so if you fall, you only fall as far as the last one you attached.
- Comment on Are you looking for sketchy overhead storage you can roll up? Look no further (and don't stand under them)! 2 months ago:
Yeah, I would install a safety strap or something underneath it.
I’ve got a portable work table thing sketchily mounted to my garage wall. Out of paranoia of someone bumping it off when getting something underneath it I have a very old rock climbing quick draw (no longer safe for climbing purposes) attached to it and an eye bolt in the wall.
- Comment on Tired of losing your drill press chuck key? Lanyard holder to the Rescue. 2 months ago:
Ah, yeah that make sense. Mine is stuck to the side of the top part of the press, and I rarely drill through any steel so its never been an issue for me.

I just use a magnet to keep mine stuck to the side of the press.
