I got in to fasting on Reddit about 5 years ago, which was stupid but I was super overweight at the time, and young enough to be resilient. It's not something I'd recommend to others but I was blown away by how much safer it is than it's often portrayed to be.

There was a whole tag on the subreddit for the "longer then jesus club". For the vast majority of people it's dangerous, but if you have the weight to lose, drink plenty of water and take salt, magnesium and potassium supplements, one month is fine. Humans, along with most animals, are surprisingly resilient to starvation, because of course we are.

Although of course, if you don't have the weight to lose, it gets potentially deadly very quickly. This is why I'd not recommend it to anybody.

There are actually 0 OSHA incidents every year, but Workplace Incident Georg has 10,000 workplace incidents each day and is an outlier and shouldn't be counted.

I'm on a GTX 980ti and my plan is to pick up a 4000 series, maybe a 4080 super, when the 6000 series is announced.

To be fair, my 980ti has been amazing at punching unreasonably far above where it should.

I saw an announcement from Sega a couple of months ago saying that they're looking to return to their MO: Being the punkrock to Nintendo's mainstream pop. I think this is really the difference between Sega's Sonic Vs Paramount's Sonic. Paramount want to make a mainstream Sonic movie and mainstream mean filing off the rough edges.

I don't think it's got anything to do with today's political landscape as much as the nature of all high budget cinema. Never mistake the film industry as anything but venture capitalism, with art being incidental and anarchic messaging being a facade and only existing for profit. Any for-profit art, particularly a $122 million cost piece of art, is going to only care about the most profitable choices.

Honestly I think their higher upvote / post ratio is a better formula. Most of Lemmy has too little engagement on it's posts for my tastes.

I'm so lucky to be born in '98 and just dodged the great aging.

I've been told by literal Brewdog barstaff that if they know he's coming, they need to encourage their female staff to either dress moderately or not come in, to minimise his sexual harassment.

I don't know how true that is, but the city I'm based in, which is pretty happy to boycott assholes is filled with people who boycott Brewdog.

I do think a huge world with an engaging and dense design can still be made worse with size. In some games like Skyrim, Breath of the Wild or GTA 5, you could probably drop me anywhere and I'd know where I was, half due to good and differing region design and half because the map isn't that big.

Back in 2015 I'd dream of a GTA 5 expansion that adds San Francisco and Las Vegas to the map, turning the north and east of the map in to a 500 yard straight of water, but in reality, two more large cities and their surroundings suburbs and wilderness would have never kept it's memorability like the first region.

Honestly I think these games need more points of interest that are not marked on the map whatsoever, and don't matter towards 100% completion.

I eventually went through the Witcher 3 post game and got every single marker but it was basically background work while I listened to audiobooks, I didn't come across anything interesting for hours. However I do acknowledge that those markers aren't necessary meant to be sought out, but stumbled upon.

It it to wait 30 mins then do it every 10, and pop it in startup, those were the days.

The other was Free_Cupholder.EXE. I miss disk drives for this reason more than for actual use.

The execs probably get away fine from it as well, even if the company sinks, they'll end up high up somewhere else.

Online service games are just peak venture capitalism, grinding a small studio to dust and causing massive misery followed by unemployment for a 1/50 shot at making a money printer.
