- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 4 days ago:
They usually don’t and have to be “broken in”.
For those few that do so naturally, it’s more of a proto-symbiotic relationship where the rider helps provide food and safety, so they’re kept around as a pet or dumb kid. Also, if a predator wants to bite you, having something on your back to throw at them as a distraction can be pretty damn helpful.

So he says.*
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 days ago:
As per my understanding (which isn’t saying much), Steam takes a 30% cut of each sale. In UK, someone with a specific agenda claimed to represent gamers as a class and sued reasoning that the 30% cut inflates the price of games globally even beyond Steam’s store, harming everyone.
Did i understand it right? No idea. What’s the actual goal here? Also no idea. Is Steam the “good guy” in all this? Of course not.
- Comment on Ubisoft propose cutting up to 200 jobs at Paris headquarters, as unions reportedly agree three day strike 1 week ago:

- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have specific games to recommend because there are many of many genres. I’d instead suggest to make trying out cooperative games as an experience for you both. The fun will be in exploring them on your own. Or the frustration. He he.

Far as I know, UK courts are quite awful for the working class.
- Comment on Pilot a big ol' fort with steampunky legs in the deserty extraction shooter Sand: Raiders of Sophie when it launches in March 3 weeks ago:
Generally yes for this genre. Coding for single player bot plays costs and takes time.
Without a big team and money to burn, it’s unlikely they can afford to. - Comment on Oh yes, I will take a look at the Vampire the Masquerade and Indian folklore inspired RPG Rakshasa, thanks 3 weeks ago:
I would like to note that while not many would care to admit it, a big draw to the game was due to the crazy, sexy vampire lady that inspired a many “I can fix her” sentiments. (and extras)
As such, in my opinion, to reach similar levels of attention, this game would require its own unique characters and care. - Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 4 weeks ago:
Take a break. Go outside. Enjoy nature.

Bish please. Man made deity is the most common thread all major civilizations share.

Gore porn, yay!
This trailer could be interpreted as a fundamentalist vegan ad. “Beware the sin of flesh in all its forms, for it shall bring forth the wrath of the elder gods!! Yield and repent!
