- Comment on What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything? 7 hours ago:
Damn out of 90 comments I read only a couple that made any sense.
It’s because it’s a complex legal transition to g othrough, because laws are a dumb series of words that’s usually tied to the whateverness the highest for of power is.
It’s still objectively odious to grant birth based rights or role to certain people over others.
The only practical positive I can see is that it’s such a dumb system that it can be fromally abused to enforce a certain degree of stability when the proper democratic process go and fuck itself, but 1) there’s other ways 2) at that point the crown storically sides with the degenerates (becaue power by birthrights is a degenerate concept after all).

Enjoy! Don’t stare directly into the Sun, it may seem bearable but you are heavily damaging your cells. It sill applies during an eclypse btw, but they are not very common and I’m sure you got a lot more interesting things to feast your eyes on before that.

- Comment on Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's level scaling was a "mistake", says designer, so why is it in the remaster? 2 weeks ago:
Oblivion without mods is traight up unplayable without an unhealthy amount of metagaming because of this.
But to be fair the metagaming couldn’t help with the crashes either way…

Not only it’s not but history expands into the future so it’s probably even less so.

The guy managed to connect button presses to letters to chain of thoughts it’s fair to assume he was being sarcastic.

Not the point here. Using it in a commercial environment for free was a violation of the terms, now it’s not anymore.

- Comment on Working below minimum wage to save the planet 2 months ago:
There’s lots of costs that don’t show up in the 5$ value. Considering limited resources, the value in human lives tied with pollution, the pollution you are not generating during the two hours of hobbying…
I think the math checks out most of the time.

Is this fake? Possibly. Will people other than scammers see this and relate? Also possible.
Still a better wage than Pascal’s.
You are doing great, at 17 every single classmate of yours is jet to become an actual thinking human, many never will.

Making your own valorial framework is a close cousin to accepting there is no inherent one.
This is true for many things (all things?), but I think we can agree that as pointless or challenging being fast driving a car still welcomes the intended use of the car, is surrounded by a broadly shared and accepted economical advantage.
Esports would be the equivalent, pushing to be the best at a game, the way it’s meant to be played.
Speedrun is getting into a racing car and mastering with an iron will getting in and out as fast as possible.

Do such efforts bring value to gaming or are they more of an academic exercise?
Neither? Speedrunning is entirely nihilistic. It rejects the rules of society to the point of rejecting the rules of games themselves in favor of meaningless tantric repetition. It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.
I find it fun and dreadful at the same time, as a concept, I would never do it myself in a million years.
In short, it’s an artistic performance.

Go watch a tutorial on that, it’s very different from League in that regard (and on minion aggro as well).
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 5 months ago:
Headscale is not essential. Of course in this context the “self-hosted service” would be the Tailscale client…

I don’t know the current status of League onboarding but as a veteran I attempted and accompanied various people throught it in the years and it’s been painfully, criminally bad for the longest time. Both when there was nothing but the weekly free rotation to pick from and have to sink a month of grinding to get a single champ, till the more recent “we gift you a champ every 2 levels so you can actually play the game”.
I think it used (still does?) to boil down to the delicate balance of 1) the attrition of the early grind is the easiest to monetyze 2) the need for new players to keep the game alive 3) the miracolous success of the game making no changes better than changing something and finding out you inadvertedly sapped the magic out of it.

- Comment on In the American class warfare, there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between typical Republican voters and Uncle Tom, a negro who was exceedingly subservient to his slave masters. 5 months ago:
Yes?
So if the camps were happening either way, better not to vote for the guy that says “vote me and the camps will have regulations in regard to human experimentation!” and strictly go for “fuck that shit”.
I get people still being affected by the election topics, but it’s not now.

Not really. If your focus is beyond the next 4 years, you can argue letting Democrats lose is the best strategy to stop wars on the planet down the line.
In fact if Kamala was going to loose either way (as it happened) it’s a good thing that she lost hard.
