• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone fact check this⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll take a stab at it.

  There are no known owl species that naturally grow up to 16 pounds. The rest of the numbers are just as meaningless.

  If you wanted to check what it would take for a random owl species to migrate across the ocean from europe to north america, that’s something we can kind of check.

  After a bit of lookup, it seems that the burrowing owl needs about 50 calories a day at rest to live, flight multiplies those calories by a factor of roughly 9.2 times. (I’mma round up to 10 because fuck it.) So 500 a day of pure flight at a speed of somewhere between 2 and 33 mph. I’m going to settle at 20 because I like easy numbers and I feel like it’s not too crazy fast. So 20 miles per hour across 24 hours gets us a distance of 480 miles. Iceland and Scotland are 500 miles away. Assuming any of these assumptions are at all fair, it seems like an owl hellbent on crossing the ocean could manage to do it with laser guidance in less than two days.

  Cool, they titled it appropriately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah. Then you’re well versed already. I have played through it enough times at this point that I actively and purposefully grind the materials I need well ahead of time, though I don’t think I’ve ever 100%'d the game. I think the worst was getting the death prevention accessories for my group so I could take on the angel of death without getting one shot. But I have spent an exorbitant amount of time leveling off loopers near their landmark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Skies can certainly be slow. Though if you feel like grinding levels you can do that after yafutoma and pretty much one turn the normal fights and makes the ship battles much smoother.

  You might, but it will have absolutely nothing to do with your relationship status.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear anything at or above 8k resolution negates the need for anti aliasing entirely… But I feel that my pc would would be running at or around 10-15 fps for most games I would care about anti aliasing on.

  Nice in theory, definitely can’t handle that many pixels in reality.

  Those dial up days on avp2 were peak gaming though. I don’t want them to return, but I remember those days very well.

  Thank you kindly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In no particular order or genre:

  • Rise of the Triad 2013
  • Bullets per Minute
  • Anything made by PixelJunk (currently enjoying Eden and Shooter soundtracks)
  • Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
  • Far too many games on the Dreamcast to remember them all, but I will specifically call out Rezs’ Level 5 Adam Freeland - Fear is the Mindkiller
  • Distance
  • DJ Max
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I get my online friend for their birthday?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any idea if they are playing the games solo (where possible) or with a group? They do all support multiplayer, and it’s kind of important to understand why they play the games they play.

  I’d probably check the wishlist or literally ask.

  I was just thinking about this today. I have completely lost track of what/who is being tariffed. Did that foreign film tariff happen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, young men. That notoriously healthcare obsesses group of individuals that do all they can to drain the system of all its funding. That’s the problem.

  It’s a shame people actually fall for blatant lies like this.

  Watching as the rights of themselves and at least some of their children get regressed by decades in real time tends to negatively impact mental health.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where Have All My Deep Male Friendships Gone?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno, we generally hang out at least once a week and chat more often than that. I guess people don’t know how to friendship anymore.

  They don’t have any dlc lined up yet so not being to sell you empty promises on top of a normal game price is really tugging at Randy’s purse strings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 - Masters of Ceremony Warbond | PS5 and PC Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazingly… this bond is almost exclusively going to be used on bug planets… since the weapons are melee focused and going melee vs bots or squids is not a great idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 - Masters of Ceremony Warbond | PS5 and PC Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well those look completely impractical and incredibly fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been driving for a few decades at this point. I use my turn signals for nearly all turns, and any moving merges. The more information I can give to other drivers, the more likely they are to act rationally… which decreases the chances of miscommunications and accidents.

  I don’t always signal while in a turn only lane, as being in that lane should already denote my intentions, and while merging into heavy (stopped, bumper to bumper) traffic…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now they’re made with marketable ‘passion’, ‘dedication’, and a team with ‘a family atmosphere’. My personal favorite ‘respect for the lore and previous games in the series’ definitely never has made a triple A game worse for wear.

  Disingenuous buzzwords with no objective meaning behind them are my favorite things to hear in a game. It tells me to steer clear as far away as I possibly can. Which is a shame because I’d like to be excited about vampire: the masquerade 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 10]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the anime corner results show me I’m not down with the popular anime. Most of the ones I’m currently enjoying are at under 2% of the vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anything tempting you?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles… but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don’t really need to wait on… I guess generally I’m patient when I feel the product doesn’t match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it’s either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class • Class no Daikirai na Joshi to Kekkon Suru Koto ni Natta. - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this whole anime is going to be pure moments of the audience saying ‘JUST KISS’ repeatedly. They’re so compatible but a singular misunderstanding between them is the only thing causing all of the friction.

  I also find it odd that a couple who was forced apart by arranged marriages decide that they need to celebrate finally getting together by arranging a marriage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Rent-a-Girlfriend Season" Season 4 will Officially Broadcast in 2025!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was fun for a bit over half a season… And then it just stalled forever. From what I hear the Manga hasn’t progressed story wise. Might as well just watch the truck crash into the bollard gif. Show has the same feels at that point.

  From this new season, pick a random anime that has released an episode. It’s 50/50 on whether or not you got isekai’d.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the last game you played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I’d have liked it to be some kind of active or skill based game, it was either going to be webfishing or revolution idle.

  I recently picked up secrets of grindea, but after having binged it for a few days, I’m grinded out. I need to earn so much gold if I want to collect all the things and it feels like my combat power has hit a wall. There are a few non-grind things I could tackle, but I’ll just wait a bit and let burnout go away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've grown weak...⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never thought I’d be the early to rise type, especially during my highschool and young adult life… but now that I work a steady job with set times that rarely change, I’ve gotten accustomed to the schedule, usually waking up a bit before my alarm. It didn’t used to be as early, but now it’s mostly just to avoid traffic in the mornings and make sure that if anything surprising hits I have time to deal with it.
