• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls Online devs detail “inhumane” Microsoft layoffs as Xbox expects the “carcass of workers” to “keep shipping award-winning games”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose the next batch of marks have now learned why some of us don’t trust Microsoft any further than our noodly coder-arms can throw them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you considering watching playthroughs of a game the same as playing that game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell no. The essential difference between games and movies/television or books as a source of entertainment is that they’re participatory. The player’s choices during interaction affects the exact outcome.

  That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with being entertained by others making those choices, but they won’t be yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I subtract a semitone (100 cents) from 1 Hz, what is its frequency in Hz after that?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  0.9438Hz, i.e. 1*(2^(-100/1200)) IIRC.

  That’s a good point, even though I’m not a fan of how you chose to deliver it.

  Tell that too Google. And Microsoft. And OpenAI. And X. And…

  “Okay, people! Can we come up with additional ways of committing genocide without actually calling it that?”

  “Well…”

  “Yes?!”

  “We could make eating a capital offense.”

  I didn’t really need additional evidence that business is increasingly divorcing itself from actual consumer needs, but here it is anyway.

  Alternatively, you could use a browser instead of an advertisement delivery app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Experiment finds yoghurt can lower house temperature⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose I could paint my windows with yoghurt. Or, and hear me out: I could eat the yoghurt and invest in some white curtains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Didn't ask.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh. It’s not like we’d be getting anywhere at sub-light speeds regardless and a working Alcubierre drive isn’t exactly right around the corner.

  On the other hand, it might make it harder for anybody with working FTL to get to us, which is probably a good thing. If they saw how we’re conducting ourselves at the moment, orbital bombardment would be the best we could hope for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vernon Dursley, uncle of Harry Potter is just a normal bloke that loves his wife and gets roped into a paramilitary war for it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does he love his wife? I can’t recall a single sign of actual affection. A wife is just one more thing to check off the “list of things to have”, along with a house, a job and a son to carry on… Well, I don’t think Vernon knows what exactly. Probably some ill-defined set of Proper British Traditions. To be fair Petunia is using him in the exact same way for for precisely the same reason. And the money, of course.
