    Like most things, there are good and bad implementations and seeing it too frequently can make it become annoying. I love it for things like Alien/Predator style games that are using something from the movies, or maybe a Batman game if used in moderation.

    It does get to be tedious when you can only interact with certain objects by using it first and that kind of game play can be annoying. No, I can’t think of an example off the top of my head but I’m certain I’ve run into that kind of thing before.


  • Since the vast majority of website users are minimally engaged, I would love for a few more active posters for stability of content and discussion, but not a massive influx of users just to have users.

    I also don’t want a plethora of users who get banned repeatedly for not being selfaware that their behavior is the problem. The occosional crossed wires ban, no biggie, but thinking there are so many glass people that creating dozens of alts is necessary is not a good look.









  • But the video purports that normal people don’t really test batteries.

    Yeah, it was a novelty that increased the price to manufacture and didn’t actually add anything of value to users.

    Either you put batteries in something and they worked or they didn’t, and if they stopped working the next step is try different batteries whether or not the little gauge showed it had charge left.

    Now if it was added to rechargeable batteries, it would be pretty useful because tou could do something with the knowledge of a battery being at 50%. But a lot of systems with rechargeable batteries have them built in and some other way to show remaining charge like a percentage on a screen.


  • Belief is either something I want to be true, or seems true although I don’t have solid evidence. I believe that in the universe there will be many worlds with living beings that eventually evolve to be comparable to humans in mental capacity and the ability to create, but that due to how space time works we will never directly interact with them. They won’t be close enough, or our time periods of existence won’t match up if either of us attempt interstellar travel. Millions of years is a blink of an eye in the scope of the universe, but it is so vast that the odds are high that another planet will have similar conditions for carbon based life, not to mention other possible forms of life.

    Knowledge is supported by evidence. It might not be a perfect explanation or understanding, but it is what is known based on the current information. We now know planets exist around other stars, but before we could observe them it would be a belief to say they existed. The difference is supporting evidence.




  • At least that’s what would happen if an experienced hacker did the same thing.

    If you ignore the context of a massive company doing an oopsie daisy and a malicious hacker intentionally trying to cause the same disruption, that makes sense. Fortunately, most people are aware of the difference.

    They will most likely either be sued or have financial repercussions, although there realy isn’t a replqcement waiting in the wings if they went down. Plus they have had a pretty solid reputation for years, so an occasional oopsie is going to happen and as long as it doesn’t happen repeatedly it is likely to be forgotten about in 6 months.

    Heck, I wasn’t even impacted because my work laptop was off and it was already sorted out before I turned it on that day.
