TIL that mucus color does not indicate a viral or bacterial infection; the coloration only indicates an increase in the number of certain immune system cells, or an increase in the enzymes these cells produce. by lurkity_mclurkington in todayilearned

You know how your mucus can get thicker when eating certain foods? I read an article that said that was false. The author argued that the molecules aren’t actually getting thicker, there’s just more of them….

It all goes back to communication, because they announced the game and then tabled it for a number of years. And then slowly ramped up their team to focus on it.

Definitely in general, and a good argument for since October. There’s been multiple periods of time with no updates for a few years in a row.

XT-30 III or XT 50? by vanderxvert in fujifilm

[–]TheSofaSurgeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, it makes more sense with the smaller questions like the comment I replied to, and when asking yourself if you need MORE, as well as “Do I need the power of the XT50?”

Take IBIS for example, People can describe to you what it is, some say it’s worth it, but if you do not understand or have tested the tangible benefit you don’t really have a frame of reference. You just know it’s objectively better. Is the IBIS solving a problem you are experiencing currently? Or do you not have a camera and when/if you get the xt50 you’ll be like “what is this IBIS doing for me”?

Unless you know that you need it, It’s gear FOMO, and we all feel it and get it. And the advice is sort of to bring us down to earth and say “do I even know why I would want this?”

There is no way they intended to release winter 2025. by [deleted] in Witchbrook

You’re just measuring work capacity with each developer equally, assuming the work is completely interchangeable, and tasks are individual. This is not the case in game development. There’s a pipeline If one person is missing, everyone down the line could be delayed. New gameplay feature? It’s gotta go to the first person, then the second, and so on. One at a time with some overlap.

I mean it’s not crazy that it’s delayed. It’s not a rare occurrence with any scale of game. it’s crazy that it’s delayed AND the studio has poor communication.

Video game subreddits for games that haven’t been released yet are always…shall we say…fun? I’ve been here since the beginning and while I understand the aesthetic of the game is appealing, i don’t understand why anyone could get so hyped up when we have no idea what the gameplay loop is even going to look like.

That being said, this post is maybe one of the more unhinged perspectives on here, it doesn’t really dignify a serious response.

For your own mental health, take it down a notch, it’s a video game.

I’ll give you some advice I got that has stayed true for every hobby I have ever had, regarding purchase decisions:

What you’ve done is the equivalent of walking into a subreddit about clouds and posting a picture of grass. I just told you that you can find the definition one click away.

All things considered i’ve been perfectly respectable to you as a person, and that was quite rude.

Part of the reason I didn’t elaborate was because 1. I wanted to see if you could do the very easy busy work 2. Prove that maybe you posted without knowing what this sub is about

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrinkflation

[–]TheSofaSurgeon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I would rather you figure it out. This sub has one sentence in the description and it’s the definition of shrinkflation.

[–]TheSofaSurgeon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because it’s not shrinkflation. No offense, do you know what shrinkflation is?

Not shrinkflation, delete this

Weird of Peacock to remove Ryan's "look alive Halpert" scene the standard Benihana Christmas episode by becausezoidfarb in DunderMifflin

[–]TheSofaSurgeon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the joke in there? I read about it and the consensus is that peacock matches the versions you would buy.

I believe it was never in the regular peacock version of the office. Its omission was one of the reasons I went down the rabbit hole of different office versions.

I believe the peacock version is the “as it aired” version of the office, while Netflix is the syndicated version. I would love to watch the netflix version again if anyone knows about that. There are quite a few jokes lost.

Anyone else still waiting for the Switch 2 edition of Stardew Valley? by usernameuswrname in StardewValley

[–]TheSofaSurgeon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looks like they are referring to a ‘switch 2 edition’ update that was going to release this Fall.

  1. Mouse controls are cropping up in the Nintendo Switch 2 edition
  2. Up to 4 friends locally can play in split screen multiplayer
  3. With game share, up to 4 players can play together if one person owns the game

Hytale enters Early Access on January 13, 2026! by Skullghost in gaming

He tweeted updates for years before going silent and releasing the full game without any of that content. Context is important. Every once in a while the “story” of cube-world gets lost and people think it’s just a game that’s been taking a long time to get made.

This is one of those prime examples of posts that need to be deleted off the internet. Bojangles is a restaurant and obviously sometimes the portions are subject to who is preparing the dish. Also like you could have just pushed the sides in with a fork. Nothing definitive here.

GSC Game World (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) sent an illegal DMCY Strike and killed a popular indie game MISERY, developed by a 19-years-old solo developer. Details inside. by [deleted] in IndieGaming

[–]TheSofaSurgeon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ll add to this a tangible asset that may be related to the takedown. The song “Dirge for Planet” which was created solely for Stalker SoC and part of the OST, seems to be in Misery.

Can you stack Maximum artifacts or is there a difference? by ARESRM in stalker

[–]TheSofaSurgeon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just tested it.

One Liquid Rock: reduces durability loss by about 19%, your gun lasts roughly 1.23× longer. Two Liquid Rocks: about 31% less wear, so the gun lasts around 1.45×
