- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 3 weeks ago:
This is why I sometimes enjoy Ubisoft trash. Especially Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint. Just the same old shit on a massive map, an okay story, fun gameplay. Easy. Simple. Nice for mindless bullshit.

They should not have it near the max fill line right after a change. Certainly not all the oil has settled and more will. If it’s near max, them I guarantee more than max is inside there. There’s a reason there’s a range that’s acceptable.
- Comment on You know which voice to use. We all know which voice to use. 3 weeks ago:
Even worse they say “the wife.” I’ve met a few of those. Could not believe they actually talk that way.
Up there with people who use “female” far too much.

- Comment on My T-shirt size is L 3 weeks ago:
We can also call out shitty design and unnecessary pressure/misinformation.
This is like saying yiu can just ignore cashiers asking you for tips or donations. How about they fuck right off and STOP.
- Comment on The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam 3 weeks ago:
as long as you own the game, emulation is legal.
People say this, but I believe it is mostly technically untrue. It’d be a relatively easy argument to say that a downloaded ROM that isn’t exactly the digital copy YOU purchased with a license would be seen as not legal.
However some people talk about literally ripping the game off the physical device themselves, hence copying their own copy of it. Now you are in grey territory of making copies of copyrighted materials, and in the case of more modern games like the last decade, they almost assuredly have language that specifies you don’t actually own the code and all that.
All I’m saying is be careful and probably refrain from repeating the fallacy that owning a game makes emulation of it legal, because that implies having the ROM is legal and that’s doubtful.
- Comment on America last night 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been hearing about WWIII basically my entire life now. I don’t give a flying fuck. I’m trying to pay bills and enjoy my measly life until I can’t at all.
Worrying about shit I literally cannot control is goddamn exhausting.

Install Skyrim on it to appease the Todd Howard?
Or Doom if you worship the Romero.

A hell of a lot of Ubisoft open-world slop.

At the time of its release, it’s wow factor for me was simply some fucking color, compared to PS3 Skyrim which had released mere mo ths earlier.
- Comment on Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads to 6 Minutes Per Hour 5 weeks ago:
Cartoons were always 22 minutes. Like Spongebob or Simpsons. There was always 8 minutes of commercials per episode. That’s 16 minutes per hour.
I dunno what argument I’m trying to make. I just remember this.

- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 5 weeks ago:
I do always love “records” that are effectively population increases.
Just like when people share maps of data that are effectively just showing population distribution.

Good news, knowing about one thing doesn’t necessarily imply inability to know another thing.
Also people have been saying we’re fucked for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. I’m starting to suspect it’s not entirely true.

Except for you right? You’re the one person who hasn’t done any of these things.

Didn’t realize this was strictly about the US. Also left and right are relative directions. Something being left of something else. You can endlessly compare apples and oranges if you want, but I don’t see the point.
