    Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn’t useful.

    It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it’s all good, or pull it out if it’s done. You can’t do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it’s course.

    Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.





  • Fahrenheit makes sense for humans. Most of your day to day climates are in the 0 to 100 scale, and every 10 degrees is a noticeable level change.

    • 100 super hot day, approaching unsafe without counter measures
    • 90 really hot day, slightly annoying and should take precautions
    • 80, hot day, more annoying than anything
    • 70, beautiful day, enjoy it
    • 60 not to bad, if it’s windy you could be slightly on the cold side
    • 50 long sleeves or maybe a hoodie
    • 40 definitely a jacket, and hat
    • 30 full on coat, scarfe, and hat
    • 20 multiple layers of out for a while, maybe double pants
    • 10 annoyingly cold, need to start thinking about the safety precautions
    • 0 and below, temperature now measured in hold long you can be outside before danger

    Celsius makes sense for science stuff because it’s derived from science stuff, so things like calories and energy work with it. But it doesn’t really apply to everyday life as well. So it actually makes sense to use both units for the things the are good at.


  • Is it really the sloppiest though?

    I’d say its about on par with their past games. It’s clearly their game engine, modified to do space stuff.

    If you come at it with the mindset that not every game has to get bigger and more expansive and have more and more realism/mechanics that don’t serve the core gameplay, it achieves it’s goal.

    Not saying its game of the year material or anything, but if I was doing an employee review, I’d give it a meets expectations grade.

    Um, professor umbridge from Harry Potter. She’s basically an asshole just to be one.

    The other ones all have some sort of justification to their shittyness. Jenny was abused, Vader was a literal slave that was taken advantage of by both the Jedi and palpatine. The joker has literal mental issues.

    Umbridge was straight up a child abuser with no remorse or tragic back story. She harmed kids while enjoying it and drinking tea.


  • That’s the thing. I think it is a carry over from that. Back then a lot of games didn’t have a menu or anything, after you hit the button, you were just playing the game.

    Like Mario 1 and 3 have just a simple 1 or 2 player select then you are in the game. Some single player games didn’t have anything, they just would go straight to the game after you hit start.

    Now there isn’t really a need since nearly every game has a menu for loading saves, starting a new game and such. So they could go, but are just a vestigial part of gaming history at this point.
