This is why everything you hear from pop-evolution theories in sociology is likely bs.

“Women like shopping because they used to be gatherers” or other such garbage.

It’s all trying to simplify human behaviour based on half-baked knowledge of the past, and to pass it off as scientific insight. It’s not much different than the pseudoscience used to fuel racism 100 years ago.

Human behaviour is complex. And even though our societies are more complex now than 10000 years ago, it doesn’t mean people back then were simple.

You can call it laziness sure. But it’s closer to thermodynamics. A system is finding its lowest free energy configuration.

It’s not laziness to think of new things - like doing a simulation instead of a physical model takes a ton of work up front. It’s only worth it IF it works as a better solution, and it may not. This type of “activation energy” then leading to lower energy configurations is common in nature.

Laziness in this case would be to just keep building physical models because that is easier than thinking of the maths, validation, etc of working on a simulation.

I guess I just disagree with Bill entirely on this one.

We laugh but this does an excellent point of underscoring the whole power dynamic in Reddit.

Who normally keeps these subs on message, and controls content? The mods.

The mods are volunteers that curate the content of Reddit. And Reddit did a shit job by getting into a pissing contest with their own best assets.

Seconding this. I also started to simply directly reading articles on things I found interesting, rather than just reading reddit discussions on things.

So many…

Top I would have to say Witcher 3 OG game (though both DLC were amazing)

For a single boss…not for the ‘wow’ moments but more for the ‘omg I finally did it!’: one of the following from the Dark Souls series:

Black Dragon Kalameet (DS1)
Fume Knight (DS2)
Slave Knight Gael (DS3)

This is the answer. /thread

Doesn’t have to be coffee of course - just get a spoon from hot (not boiling) water. It should be at the temperature where you can juuust stand to have it on your skin. Press and repeat as needed.

It will feel intense - even intensely itchy - for a couple of seconds, then….relief!

If they had charged API fees such that 3rd party apps would have had to charge a monthly fee to users…I would have probably just paid. And I know I’m not the only one.

But they priced it intentionally to kill 3rd party apps, because they wanted to channel access through their garbage app with its “promoted” ads all over the place.

It’s not about “free vs. not free” it’s about intentionally killing off the applications that made reddit likeable as a platform.

I’d agree with this.

I feel like overall DS2 just has so many areas that while it has some amazing things (Fume knight one of the best bosses in any souls game IMO) it just has so much forgettable stuff too.

That and the fact that so many areas (and even bosses) are only made hard because they throw multiples at you, it makes it worse than the others in the series.

However…. I probably played more multiplayer in ds2 than in all others combined. Don’t know if it was due to balance, the overall slower mechanics of combat or whatever, but I enjoyed it.

Not stiff enough, I’d say. And honestly, steel wool breaks into small pieces pretty easily too.
