It wouldn’t be the first trilogy of four.
- Comment on xkcd #3073: Tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Just wait until the desert movie, though. I think it comes out after the swamp movie.
- Comment on I bet most male cinematographers take some of the best dick pics, with their knowledge of lighting, angles, and whatnot. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know who wants to see a closeup of a single boob either.
I’ll take it if it’s all I can get
- Comment on I believe that the "Nicole" images being sent to Threadiverse users may be intending to deanonymize accounts 5 weeks ago:
I’ve received 4 of them so far, and the images were hosted on lemmy, including reputable instances, but never on the same instance as the message itself came from.
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Is Timeless 5 weeks ago:
mechanics that penalize you for opening treasure chests too soon.
Unlike all the other chests, the ones that “penalize you” have an event and prompt asking if you want to open them, and in a game about time travel, it’s not too hard to figure out what’s intended.
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 1 month ago:
People generally don’t talk too much about stuff that things that don’t particularly stand out. If a game is bad, people will complain. If a game is good, people will praise it. If a game is middling, most people will just move on. Nobody’s going to start a discussion about a game that was vaguely enjoyable but not noteworthy, unless expectations were unreasonably high to begin with.
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 1 month ago:
Trump: Move to the US to avoid tariffs.
Tech companies: India it is!
- Comment on Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world? 1 month ago:
obligatory Don’t talk to the police

He never dodged a goose. He took it straight to the face.
- Comment on In the US, it's finally socially acceptable again to clap when the plane lands 1 month ago:
Sounds like someone leads a boring and meaningless life.
- Comment on 3D Printed Steam Deck Accessories You Might Like 2 months ago:
I just roll up the cable and stuff the charger behind the strap anyway. It’s never been an issue for me.
What I did find that I liked is this stand that fits in that hole. It had a hole to mount a cheap USB-C dock which I had to make a little bit bigger for the one I own, but it’s pretty convenient for me.
- Comment on Hong Kong condemns 'attack' after Asian Games ice hockey match 2 months ago:
After the game is over? That’s not something that usually happens. And sucker-punching is never tolerated. Even body checking a player who can’t see you will get you ganged up on by the opposing team.
- Comment on If Walmart operates in Canada and takes all the profit back to the US, is that reflected in the trade balance? 2 months ago:
Sometimes all it takes it something unrelated (sort of) to remind us of our principles.
- Comment on Non-US alternatives to digital services 2 months ago:
They don’t do all of what Proton does, but for email Hushmail is run out of Vancouver. The free account is quite limited in terms of space though, but it’s free.
- Comment on Who stole all the pies? Michelin-starred chef 'gutted' at theft of 2,500 pies. 4 months ago:
I mean nobody wants to admit they eat 2500 pies, but I did and I’m ashamed of myself. The first pie doesn’t count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blow torch and I just kept eating.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 4 months ago:
It’s the opposite of a worm of Theseus. Each individual part becomes a new whole.
- Comment on vultures 5 months ago:
I don’t need you to tell me how good my bones taste.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 5 months ago:
A lot of the jankiness is gone in the later games. DS1 feels really clunky after having played DS2 and DS3.
- Comment on To deter predators... 5 months ago:
Same here. Evolution doesn’t work that way. It’s basically the opposite. Species don’t evolve to solve a problem, they evolve randomly and sometimes that solves a problem for them. Or sometimes, it pushes the species into a very narrow niche where its survival is ensured as long as the current extremely precarious situation they find themselves in doesn’t change.
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 5 months ago:
Your math is wrong.

That was the Arecibo observatory
- Comment on GORILLA GORILLA 5 months ago:
Which is kind of funny because of miscommunication, they thought they were naming a grisly bear.
- Comment on Fruit Flies 6 months ago:
Are you suggesting they’re not good with cheese?
- Comment on Do you have what it takes to become a geologist? 6 months ago:
You think you’ve got the stones to become a geologist?
- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 6 months ago:
They’re suing because Microsoft got an exclusion from the Digital Markets Act. Google did not.
- Comment on What do allergies feel like for you? 6 months ago:
Mine are similar to yours, but only two relatively short periods per year. It hits me mid-spring, and end of summer.
As for your allergy testing, it’s likely you’re not really allergic to all of the allergens you were tested for. In many cases for those tests, if a few of the allergens trigger a reaction, then all or most of the injection sites will react rather than just the ones you’re allergic to. It helps when you can tell in the moment which one started it, since reactions happen quite quickly.
