I usually try to go in pretty much blind to anything I play or watch, but I watched a gaming related YouTube video that flipping ruined what I really would have wanted to not know about undertale.
edit: When I made this years ago a friend warned me that some folks would not recognize it as satire. I didn’t believe it possible for anyone to be that stupid.
the fact you probably truly believe you are delivering some burn is the sad part here.
as per your request, let me read the video to you (if you have trouble reading, you can always listen to itm but it still requires turning on your brain):
columbus saw the ocean
he sailed far and wide
just to get a cup of spices
from the other side
he knew he would die for sure
if he should reach the edge
but that’s okay cause long before
he’d starve to death instead
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
earth’s an oblate spheroid
revolving around the sun
spinning on its axis
which is tilted just for fun
that explains the seasons there
and the changing length of day
but here’s an inconvinient truth
you can’t explain that way
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
trump won re-election
he won it by a mile
only to protect us
from the socialist pedophiles
but biden wants the mail and ballots
counted and at what cost
he is so out of touch
he can’t admit when he has lost
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
endless interventions
never-ending war
all to please the oligarchs
and economic horse
but lower taxes on the rich
and do it really quick
my ship is coming in soon
and i don’t want to pay for it
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
here we are, in the the astronomy community, that should attract rather smarter people, but most of you are as lazy as average flat-earher and did not bother to even click the link before following in steps of the first downvoter. if that person jumped off the cliff, i am afraid most of you would follow, because it is easier than to use your own brain.
i made myself sad on new year.
(for the extra lazy ones who don’t have time to listen to the lyrics of his social commentary, he put that blackboard there with kepler’s 3rd law to give you hint he might not actually believe the earth is flat. but that would require using at least 10 of your brain cells. good luck next time when you complain about stupidity of the “other side”.

and from the native speakers, i’d like an opinion - is he singing oblate spheroid at the beginning of 3rd paragraph? or is he singing old blade, which is what i hear, and is it some strange poetic phrase?
Just in the interest of cheering you up a bit, I’d like to point out that many people simply refuse to click on YouTube links. Personally, I have no desire to engage with video content, especially when it’s shared with little to no context. It’s not out of laziness, but more out of a conviction that far too many people have outsourced their thinking to random vloggers, and believe that posting a link to their favorite video essay lends credibility to their argument.
believe that posting a link to their favorite video essay lends credibility to their argument.
unfortunately that is definitely a trend. but then you also have the person who grabs one rhyme out of context and comments it aged like a milk, meaning they did open the video, listened to it and absolutely did not understood.
i am also not going to watch every 60 minutes long video someone posts me in a discussion, but if i am invested in the discussion so much i care about answering or voting on something, i at least try to understand the concept of the video and what it is trying to say.
the headline in this case did not help, but i rarely see such an example of crowd behaviour concentrated in such short time as was the case with this link.
People aren’t lazy, we just all live in a social media landscape where, when someone posts a link with an intentionally provocative title, it’s rarely worth the effort to engage with it enough to find out if they’re being sarcastic or sincere.
Sometimes this means that well-meaning people get downvoted. Oh well. Learn to read the room.
I’m confused. I get the The Exorcist reference but I don’t get why it’s relevant here or why this person is going places where people can talk to them about the game if they don’t want people talking to them about the game.
The reference is an example of a flippant sort of response of answering the request, but with something lacking the depth the person was asking about.
He probably doesn’t mind talking about the game broadly, but it can be a bit much for someone to be annoying about saying it should have been a different genre that they would have enjoyed. I suppose your question could be flipped around, why attend a panel discussing doom if you don’t really care for doom?
I don’t think people would go to one unless they cared which is part of why I am confused. Out of context this just comes off as somebody bragging about being an ass to a random fan.
Let’s break it down. He was a game developer at a game developers conference…you know, where people are there to talk to and ask questions to game developers about the games they develop. He was there specifically to answer questions about his game and someone asked a stupid question about his game and got the answer to that question, because he was, again, participating in an event specifically to be asked questions specifically about his game that he developed and was at a game developers conference to talk about.
I appreciate your attempt to alleviate my confusion but you have really only covered what I already understood. I’m confused as to why this is something somebody would want to tell other people about. Why did they even agree to be on the panel if they were just going to be an ass to people who may have even paid money to stand in line and ask their pedantic questions? At the end of the day it really seems like somebody bragging about taking their annoyance out on a random fan.
Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.
I haven’t kept up with the news. What’s the issue?
Krafton fired the creators to deny them a million-ish dollar bonus that was promised to them, then made a whole bunch of accusations against the creators to try to shift the blame.
I tried the VR mod a year or two ago and it was pretty good except for the way that the character moves does not compute to the way normal people move, so it was making me suuuper sick. The strafing in particular was bad.
Playing in VR made me realize how poorly pancake mode gives you a sense of scale. Everything is subnautica is absolutely massive. Peepers’ eyes are the size of dinner plates
I replayed Subnautica in VR with the mentioned mod not too long ago. It’s an environment that’s perfect for VR and really puts the scale of things in perspective. I found some of the leviathans were a little janky in their movement sometimes, but they were still quite terrifying.
If you ranked games by revenue, none of these games would be on the list. Candy Crush and Clash of Clans would fire their CEO if their revenue was pathetic as Activision.
Screw a bad launch as long as the Dev delivers in the end and not just pisses off. And they did. It’s one of the greatest games of all times. And I’m gaming daily since pong and pacman.
There are tons of shitty releases that stay shitty but offer micro transactions and 2646 dlcs. CP has one add-on that is also fantastic.
Being an early adopter sucks in this industry. That’s why I waited over a year to play it and had not one single issue in 3 playthroughs.
To be fair, Hogwarts Legacy is a very good game, I started playing yesterday and the atmosphere of the movies is perfectly captured! I did expect a cash grab, but I was totally wrong.
For now there’s nothing of the sort, but I’m only a few hours in. Could it be too good to be true…?
Well, let’s see. It is a AAA game after all…
Edit: No, the game really is fun. 20 hours in, and I must say even if it were only exploring Hogwarts it would be quite worth my time. The music and atmosphere are really neat.
CDPR spent the time fixing CP2077 and then released a killer DLC, putting the entire game on sale a ton along the way. They also listened and reconfigured entirely some of the clunky parts of gameplay/RPG elements.
This has to be one of the worst designed data visualizations I’ve seen in a long time. God knows social media isn’t wanting for shitty dataviz, but this one is particularly awful. It’s an assault on my senses trying to read it.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised from a company called “visual capitalist”.
Well, I know at least one part of this is pretty out of date. Baldur’s Gate 3 just got confirmed a few weeks ago as having sold over 20M copies. We have so many round numbers here because companies generally only share milestones.
Not just out of date, complete and utter fabrication.
TIL people eat shit from the “visual capitalist” and swallow it whole. I’d bet my right nut this image took 15min of AI “prompt engineering” and 30 of photoshop copy-paste. None of if is remotely reliable.
Its source is a wiki, noted in the bottom right corner. I’ve seen plenty of these numbers reported publicly before. By its very nature, it’s going to lag behind real time.
There were three edits in the past few days. Feel free to look at the diff, but I’m not making a Fandom account to do so. It would stand to reason that it was this list, and those three edits probably account for Palworld’s number being lower in the graphic and why the wiki has two more games on it, if they pulled the data more than a few days ago.
If only there was a pervasive tool nowadays that is famously inaccurate, likes to hallucinate and frequently cites deprecated data… Something artificial that slop content mill producing shitrags like the visual capitalist like to use… I can’t quite put my finger on it…
edit: Fyi, that’s why any writer worth its salt puts dates on their citations and usually citations include urls. Just another piece of the puzzle that when put together screams “visual capitalist is a shitrag low effort content mill and people should not propagate their message”.
Where are you getting the term “visual capitalist”? And why did you learn about this phenomenon today? Misinformation has been rampant for over a decade now.
