  • The joke is that quantum mechanics are difficult to understand, so the commenter doubts their ability to properly explain it (to women). The replier assumed it was a dig at women’s intelligence, not a reflection of the original commenter’s intelligence and ability to explain.

    I.e. a stupid person would have difficulty explaining anything to women.






  • That is a really cool idea. I think the problem is it’s just a bit too niche. A good portion of the people intrigued by the narrative and world-building might get stymied by the travel simulation (I’m envisioning both flying and sailing) and the simulation nerds might just skip past the text and story to get back into flying.

    It’s certainly something that an indie dev has to shoulder for pure passion of seeing an idea come into the world, and that requires an idea that grabs you. Targeting it as an underserved market will only backfire.


  • Assuming you aren’t from Ukraine, how much did Ukraine impact your daily life/touch your daily awareness before it became a battlefield? Countries shouldn’t gain more respect just because they’re incorporated as a country, especially when it’s halfway across the world.

    (Researched, via Wikipedia and WorldPopulationReview) Missouri has a population of 6.3 million and total land area of ~178K km; larger in size than countries like Greece and Hungary, and more populous than countries like Denmark and Finland and Ireland. So it should be less regarded than any of those countries because it remains a state?

    My stance is: either you should believe any population center of a reasonably large size/population density is worth memorizing or you should just memorize the ones relatively important to you.

    There are probably distinct provinces in Canada and China outperforming many countries, so why should they exist on a lower tier than a “country”, just because they were persuaded or “persuaded” to incorporate into something larger?





  • While I commiserate with people not wanting to be “typecast” like the other dev complaining about the term JRPG, I’ve never parsed the terms as boxing in devs to their location. “JRPG” and “eurojank” are posthoc titles describing where the collection of features coalesced. Just like Expedition 33 is a JRPG, despite japanese RPGs pioneering the feature set and aesthetic back in the 90s.

    “Eurojank” is more aesthetic and ‘vibe’ than genre features though.



  • Having lots of money earned does not make a person bad.

    They never said that. So maybe you’re disagreeing with their reasoning because you don’t know what it is.

    They say billionaires are bad because they have a lot of money and don’t use it to help people. This isn’t even talking about billionaire who engage in actually/actively morally wrong deeds to acquire money.

    If you produce a product so excellent that consumers give you 1 billion dollars ($1.000.000.000) in pure profit, there would be no problem if you kept a nest egg to ensure your livelihood and then used the rest to provide aid where it’s needed. You would still be a bad person for sitting on it, instead of spreading it to help people that aren’t well off. A person can live very well on $300K pretty much anywhere in the world: that means $999,700,000 is not materially improving your life and you are hoarding it for no good reason.


  • Why are they booing you, you’re right?

    Turret’s “serious” comment said that you claimed people should know about/have awareness of that Flesch-Kincaid reading level as a determinant of literacy…but you never said that.

    I will admit I had to go back and actually read both comments because I tend to tune out long comments (many long comments are slavering diatribes not fit to store in any memory, long-term nor short). Maybe that’s what’s happened here.
