We don’t need to know that at all, since it’s nonsense.

He compared it to Human Revolution. When is the last time you heard anyone compare anything to Human Revolution???

It was also really weird that he compared Cyberpunk, as a setting, to a whole bunch of other media that are all older than Cyberpunk. Only Blade Runner predates it.

Ah, the “we have StarCraft at home” RTS

I get mine from weird Chinese sites, soooo…

Anything “Lego” sold on aliexpress.

Good news: their patent expired, and offbrand lego now fits on Lego, at a third of the price.

I hate that I now live in this reality, but the US head of immigration is significantly more cruel to animals than the actual Nazis. The Nazis had very very very few redeeming features, but they were surprisingly decent in animal welfare.

Noem is roughly on their level when it comes to human welfare though, that’s more due to public perception than ethics though, I’m sure.

it helps with understanding some British accents which can be tricky for non-natives.

There are native Londoners from the west of London who have trouble understanding the native Londoners from the east of London and vice versa

If anyone asks me what fragile masculinity looks like, this will be my example for the month.

I get some vegeterian people visibily upset that I’m eating “their” food when they know I usually eat meat.

Unless you’re at a place where you’re literally taking physical food, leaving them none, that’s just moronic

It’s mostly an artefact from how we measure it.

Chocolate demand is rising, which means cocoa demand is rising. It grows best in really warm places, where there’s plenty of readily available mountainous land that’s currently covered by old growth forest. They farm cocoa very unsustainably, by illegally logging the land, growing beans for 5 to 8 years, and moving on (following the illegal loggers). We’ve decided to place the CO2 impact on the cocoa, not the wood though, probably due to lobbying.

That land use change drives climate impact of chocolate. Milk drives the rest.

Why the hell don’t they capture the methane and sell it?

It’s really hard. Most methane comes directly from the cow, and cows spend most of their time in air. The methane gets mixed in the air, in very small percentages. Extracting a small bit of methane from a lot of air is complex and energy Intensive, and methane is cheap.

So you’d spend a lot of money and power to produce very little money or power.

Yeah, but that’s mostly because it’s lumpsum. Over time, it’s not much at all.

When I calculate the “time of fun per euro spent” I’m always shocked how cheap videogames are. Even something like the new Doom, which is 70 euros for 16 hours of play, comes down to €4.40 per hour (or just under 14 minutes per euro). And we consider that ridiculously expensive for a “short” game.

Try doing anything for < €5 per hour.

Then I look at something like Warhammer total war, and I’m up to 132 minutes per euro spent

Signed, and why the hell isn’t this already a law?

“uhoh, we’re not popular enough to have our servers filled on beta weekend, so we won’t generate enough hype!”

The system works fine in, say, Conan, or Ark, or whatever survival game because those are small groups. If you’ve got thousands in a server, it’s going to be a mess.

Hell, even Ultima Online had the brains to keep player houses to specific areas. This is not a new problem.
