I just can’t put Hades II down! It’s not finished, and I’m running up against that more and more. But the polish is incredible!

frank , to asklemmy in Why doesn't NA beer have nutrition fact labels in the USA?

The (absolutely gutted) organization for requiring things like nutritional information is primarily responsible for keeping people safe in the foods they consume. Should it be on there? Probably. But on the scale of things to do it’s so absurdly insanely low with so many horrific things ahead of it that it probably isn’t gonna happen. Nevermind the fact that it’s lobbied against pretty hard at the same time.

I think it probably should have nutritional and allergenic info required on it, but hearing the horror stories of my friends in food safety who go to plants that produce dangerous products with so little rules and oversight, I can’t imagine thinking it’s a good idea to take any amount of FDA time and attention away from that for things like beer.

Most big breweries have nutritional info on their site for their beers, fwiw.

frank , to asklemmy in Why doesn't NA beer have nutrition fact labels in the USA?

Brewery process engineer here. The reasons beer doesn’t need as strict of regulation in terms of food safety and in terms of labeling is twofold.

Part of that is because it’s lobbied to keep it that way, because if you put numbers down they’re not great (no surprise)

Part of it is because beer’s pH and alcohol content makes it nearly impossible for human-harming-pathogens to grow. On the scale of danger for you from a food safety perspective, beer is low.

NA beer is full strength beer with the alcohol removed. It goes through the same kill steps and processes as normal beer. Alcohol removal can be done a few ways (RO, filtration, boiling) but is I think always or effectively always followed by pasteurization.

Not saying it should be beyond labelling, but that’s the reasoning why it’s not a high priority for labeling like food.

frank , to gaming in Slay the Spire 2 - Reveal Trailer

Holy hype batman. I’m so stoked!

frank , to asklemmy in Do you prefer the headphone jack to be at the top or at the bottom on a phone, and why?

Same, and no clue what I’m doing after it. I love my headphone jack … Maybe an ASUS ROG?

frank , to asklemmy in To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

I always have used 2. I use multiple desktops really hard (for a long time in Linux and MacOS, and with third party Windows stuff till they finally caught up) and find it more convenient for compartmentalizing than multiple monitors.

The only times I want to (and occasionally do) go more than 2 is watching F1 with data viewing and so many camera angles up

frank , to asklemmy in What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?

I loved the game, and actually loved the DLC even more

frank , to gaming in Please help preserve your 3DS and Wii U SpotPass data before it's too late!

Done! Thanks for making this visible. It wasn’t too hard at all. Hopefully this will help everyone be able to continue spot passing

frank , to asklemmy in Lemmy, what music artists do you believe deserve more attention?

Hell yes on Thank You Scientist

frank , to asklemmy in Lemmy, what music artists do you believe deserve more attention?

+1 on jukebox the ghost

frank , to news in Buyers Are Avoiding Teslas Because Elon Musk Has Become So Toxic

Hey that’s our train of thought! Shopping now and it seems like a great contender.

frank , to games in Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.

Oh man, I was coming in here to recommend the same. I’d say to look up nearly nothing about it in order to enjoy the mystery the best.

Sometimes you’d beat a boss, get a manual page from it, and it’s like “oh I could’ve done this the whole time, holy crap”

For any of the Outer Wilds or Obra Dinn fans, play tunic for the mystery. For the ALTTP fans, play it for the combat!

frank , to books in Im looking for a book about a girl with a magic eye on an air ship to catch magic only she can see

Mortal Engines? Not quite but similar vein kinda?

frank , to gaming in Need android game recommendations

These all sound like emulator-ideal criteria to me!

There’s a lot of non-free versions of that which are super reasonable and meet all of your other criteria nicely. Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire. Games that are full games for a one time low cost.

frank , to asklemmy in Lemmy Babies of the Rexodus - it's been 9 months, how has Lemmy changed you?

I stopped using reddit, I’m on my phone a lot less. It makes me less angry and more present, and I really like that. I also comment more, as many of you have said here.

I really miss Ask Historians. It’d send me down some lovely rabbit holes, get me reading books about niche topics I never knew I wanted to learn more about.
