- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 weeks ago:
I mean personally I don’t have any issues with an easy mode in games, casual play is nice when you come back home from work half dead. Silksong is advertised as a soulslike though. Feels a little counterintuitive to take away the aspects that define a soulslike, even if it makes the game accessible to a wider audience.

I feel bad for field researchers that have to do studies on critically endangered species
Imagine trying for days to find a specimen and then end up having to reclassify it as extinct

The solo aspect is honestly really impressive. I’ve done my fair share of game dev and tried all sorts of roles. I am definitely not a jack of all trades though. I cannot for the life of me understand music. Last time I tried music, I made a 10s long audio that sounded mediocre and doesn’t even loop properly.
- Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. 4 weeks ago:
Big tech in HCOL areas (Seattle, all of Cali, etc.) pay new grads about 100k to 150k base, with a hefty sign on bonus (anywhere from 20k to 50k). RSUs usually only vest about 5 to 10% of their total stock in the first year, but thats about 5k to 10k
Of course HCOL means this money is relatively less than it seems, but still a lot for new grads.

I had a garmin vivomove hr. The idea behind it was pretty neat, but it was too annoying to keep charged.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 1 month ago:
Yea they’re pretty much the only brand still.
I liked my garmin vivomove, it was pretty nice despite some clunkiness (the one I bought was early on)
I’d like to try one, but I feel like I might end up not using it often or just not liking it

On a side note I wish hybrid smartwatches were still a thing. Most of the product lines are discontinued, but I liked the idea of it.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 2 months ago:
Airlines and enshittification, what’s new.
Happening right now with Southwest as well. In their infinite knowledge sw decided to remove what defined them: two free checked bags and cheap flights
Now there’s a worse option called basic which has a shittier cancellation policy, no checked bags, and is more expensive than the previous budget tier

This article is so weirdly written
One of his points is that a vhs player is easily fixable while a wifi router isn’t. These things aren’t even remotely the same. They don’t serve the same function, they don’t have the same complexity. Comparing their repairability makes no sense because they serve different functions. Just because I know how to repair a keyboard doesn’t mean I know how to fix a tv.
Most of his complaints are on the capitalization of modern technology, which is not a problem of innovation and knowledge, it’s an economics and political problem.

- Comment on Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2 2 months ago:
Gaming nowadays is always about being patient, whether its a pre order or controversy.
This also applies to the internet in general tbh
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 2 months ago:
Original subnautica is amazing. I’ve played it twice which is a really high bar for me cause I rarely replay story driven games
Below zero isn’t bad either, I enjoyed it but it doesn’t come close to my first playthrough of subnautica
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 2 months ago:
I will wait and see how its release goes, not that I ever pre ordered a game anyways
I don’t have high hopes but I’m going to save my opinions for when it’s released
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 months ago:
Yea in fairness to (genuinely) free range, it’s probably best if chickens are raised in just not cages but still within an area a farmer can manage. I was thinking of free range as moreso outdoors, with a minimum area per livestock.
For meat chickens, yes they probably have the lowest quality of life. The ones that aren’t stuffed in cages are usually not meat chickens though, but a different breed. I’d say they have a decent life because they’re not being stuffed full of steroids and are given space to roam.
I’m not sure on bird flu. From what I’ve read, the conditions of meat chickens living in cages is the reason why bird flu spread so much. The chickens are so cramped, and so unsanitary that they essentially need to be pumped with antibiotics, which caused bird flu to develop a resistant strain. If companies weren’t so hellbent at maximizing value, providing just an increase in living space would have hindered the spread of bird flu.
My perspective is that it’s more ethical to be able to provide a good quality of life for the animals you raise. One cow with a low quality of life imo is less ethical than a bunch of chickens with a decent quality of life, even if we consider numbers. If you can provide that to a cow, then yea it’s probably more ethical than a bunch of chickens. It’s just a lot easier to have a chicken live a good life than it is for a cow.
This is all my perspective though
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 months ago:
That doesn’t add up at all because cattle ranches are notoriously known for pretty low quality of life environments if they arent pasture raised or free range
Then again that basically goes for all farm animals that aren’t considered free range, but it’s a lot easier to have free range chickens than it is to have cows doing the same.

- Comment on Roblox Accused Of Allowing Sexual Exploitation In Four Separate Lawsuits 2 months ago:
Well documented on youtube for years. Roblox condo is essentially a disaster because when one of those games go down, another one takes its place. There’s so many of discord servers dedicated to condos, all of which are essentially places that manipulate and groom underage people.
Its always against tos, but like always, they choose what to moderate, and clearly they don’t give a fuck about these enough
