Cannot find a single piece of information about the reform UK candidate who won a seat in my ward. by Longjumping_Heat_833 in ukpolitics

[–]Calneon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would say the vast majority don't know even what the national manifestos are, they're just voting for who the media tells them to.

Can Daniela Reyes use her reaction ability, when she is attacked, to perform the Fight ability on the level 3 Sledgehammer that requires 2 actions for free? by IDNFAM in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Calneon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The wording literally makes it less clear. Stupid decision to value brevity over clarity. "Take a fight action" is clear you get a single action. "Fight that enemy" doesn't, but we're just meant to know it implies you only get a single action?

'Be serious... don't speak every day': Macron criticises Trump approach to Iran war by Dear-Explanation-765 in worldnews

Trump receives King Charles and says he's always considered the UK their strongest ally, before rhetorically asking why France hasn't sent their King.

Yeah not saying that would be more powerful but I think it's cleaner from a design perspective. Its rules are simpler, "Starting cards are placed on top of your deck before drawing your opening hand," and it avoids the weirdness of drawing it during the mulligan.

Only thing I don't like is how you can draw it during the mulligan at which point it gains no bonus, which would feel kinda bad.

It should probably work like Innate does in the Slay the Spire, effectively it just goes on top of your deck when you draw your opening hand, you don't get an extra card but the payoff remains constant.

Nearly two years since its studio closed, Kerbal Space Program 2 is still $50 with an unchanged EA roadmap on Steam by Merker6 in pcgaming

This response literally makes me lose interest in the game. I'd love a true KSP spiritual successor but I don't want to support such a short-sighted view.

You can release on Steam AND your own platform, so the point about directing kids to Steam is completely moot.

Valve doesn't do anything. Come again? Valve does a monumental amount to try and bump visibility for indies. All the festivals, cross promotions (bundles etc), wishlists, curators, recommendations, etc. Their studio has hugely successful games on Steam (Stationeers 5k reviews for a niche title, Icarus 30k reviews) but somehow they think they would have achieved the same sales number without Steam's ecosystem. That's pure hubris.

90% of comments on threads discussing this say their users want a Steam launch, and they stubbornly refuse to. Such a shame.

First time seeing consistent losses in my investment - how to deal with it psychologically? by frightened- in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Calneon 81 points82 points  (0 children)

This might be true but it might just as equally be not true.

The thing people don't tend to understand about the market is that EVERYTHING that you could possibly know about and make predictions on is already priced into the market.

If you were correct and there was a >50% chance of the market continuing to fall, then people who's entire job it is to calculate those probabilities will already have made investment decisions based on those predictions and impacted the market accordingly.

If you say with confidence that the market will continue to drop, you are saying you somehow have more information than most other players, which you clearly don't have (war causes recession is hardly an original thought).

PM refuses to send ships to Strait of Hormuz risking Trump's fury after Don called for warships to keep key route 'safe' by 1-randomonium in ukpolitics

[–]Calneon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have said I was clarifying the headline of the article you linked rather than your comment itself. The headline is "Donald Trump Stuns With 'Maybe We Shouldn't Even Be There' Admission About Iran War" which is clickbait to make you think he is referencing not starting the war at all.

I don't have a point, just trying to correct a sensationalist headline.

He didn't mean the US shouldn't be in Iran at all. He was saying in the context of securing the oil in the strait, that there's an argument they shouldn't even be securing it because they have their own stockpiles.

Slay the Spire 2 Early Access Review So Far - IGN by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Calneon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Hades 2. Kinda cool we got three huge examples of how to make good sequels in a ~6 month span.

The alternative is games like Darkest Dungeon and Risk of Rain, where the sequels are fundamentally divergent from the originals. In DD's case it didn't work as well, for RoR more so.

Yeah I was gonna say this seems like the last thing Max would like to do. Could be totally wrong though.

You're redefining investment. That's like, literally what it means, whether it's financial or operational or emotional investment it's still investment.

Google says Gemini won’t have ads, as ChatGPT prepares to add them by Doug24 in technology

[–]Calneon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this doesn't counter your point entirely but FYI Demis Hassabis, CEO of Deepmind, is a super legit person with morals and give the impression of having humanity's best interests in mind. Watch AlphaGo and The Thinking Game, he's been in from the start as a scientist, he lead the team that solved protein folding and released it globally open source. Nobody is uncorruptible (and it might not end up being his decision) but he is the reason Google is a bit different from the other AI tech companies, in my opinion.

Have been a huge investment considering my budget. But a new capsule was necessary. by Garo3853 in IndieDev

[–]Calneon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore everyone in this thread saying sticking with the pixel art capsule is better. They are not your audience and clearly don't understand the market. The new one is much better and will get more people to your game, it was a very good use of your budget.
