And thus is one of the issues. I watched for a long time as sooooooooooo many people urged going to proton. And now look.
This is true for a lot of things. Are we just doomed to endlessly migrate to different emails, browsers, phones, etc?
Gets fucking old and why I just don’t most of the time. Most hype about anything ever is bullshit.

This is also how a $5 speeding ticket becomes $500. Thanks officer dipshit.

Yes, federal income tax. Let’s also add that sales tax are far more regressive than other forms of taxation. Some places use those taxes more that are more likely to disproportionately affect the lower income population.
- Comment on MSI Claw handheld looks like it may get better Linux support 5 days ago:
Just saw an Asus I think in Best Buy, and some other brand as well. More expensive than a Steam Deck and lacking a few features like all of the rear buttons and the two touchpads.
One of them also clearly was just Windows 11.
Pathetic. Buy a Steam Deck.

Also in the US, the bottom 50% don’t pay a dime in federal income taxes.
Also the concept of “MY” tax dollars is super selfish.

I played this on Steam Deck last year. Great game for its time.

Pro tip, if your sentence ever begins with “am I the only one…” then just stop and completely reconsider the point you want to make. Just make the point. Lose the fluff.
- Comment on Pope 3 weeks ago:
The formal requirement to be Pope is a baptized catholic male. Doesn’t even technically have to be a cardinal. But has to be male. Idiotic religion.
- Comment on EA aren't making any more rally games, but there are alternatives 3 weeks ago:
VRally4 is a lot of fun on Steam Deck. I also enjoyed WRC4 on PS Vita.
I played a lot of Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo on PS4, and while it’s got quite a few drawbacks, I had a lot of fun still. It was most painful trying to use a wheel and get the settings right, but with controller amd easier settings, it wasn’t bad.

Their gimmick will be insane cost with 50% of previous gen features included!
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 4 weeks ago:
Yes, it appears to be true; according to numerous posts all over Reddit and Twitter, you can see
Wow. Article based on social media posts. Didn’t even try it themselves. Garbage.
- Comment on Steam will soon start making it easier for players to search for games based on accessibility features 4 weeks ago:
People need to remember that news about how Steam has like 300 employees. They do a ton with a small crew, and they stay down to earth. Coming from all sorts of console gaming and the shittyness of that, It’ll be a long time before I criticize Steam.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #59 - Far Cry 5 4 weeks ago:
Far Cry 6 is tons of fun and 5 was kind of meh to me. I also thought 4 was incredible.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #59 - Far Cry 5 4 weeks ago:
As a fan since the first, and having played nearly every version of Far Cry, Far Cry 5 was the biggest disappointment for so many reasons. What a dud. I cannot comprehend the love people have for this mediocre pile of mush.
The Vietnam DLC was fun though.
Blood Dragon is the best Far Cry by the way. But truly Far Cry 2 is actually the best for what it aimed to achieve, which was lost in subsequent games.
- Comment on Minecraft confuses me 4 weeks ago:
No different than if one child messes up the Lego build that another built. This is nothing new, only digital. Typical sibling annoyance.
Struggling to parent this issue is just showing signs of being a shitty parent.
You tell them to knock it off and teach one child to have empathy and care for others by thinking of how they’d feel if someone messed up something they built.
Sometimes you could also just chalk it up to kids being kids, so long as it isn’t constant.

More like AI generated anything. Turns posts into circlejerk arguments about AI and nothing to do with the post. Sensitive.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 5 weeks ago:
The way skyblivion has been implemented avoids all this. They have made it very clear they are not in any way using original assets or providing the game. They are mods that utilize both Skyrim and Oblivion game files and you must have both for it to work. It is modding those game files, not providing them.

Thanks half the voting country too. You got neighbors who asked for this.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 month ago:
And there are those who have it even harder than YOU. Everyone’s station in life is different. They are allowed to experience that.
If they are being insensitive to your concerns, then maybe they are not a good friend, but it sound like you’re the one insensitive to their concerns. You can both have different concerns.
Also this is literally a Switch post in a gaming community amd you self selected this complaint in here. It’s telling.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
Almost 10 years ago I began to see this trend online, and at work where people were misspelling ‘separate’ as ‘seperate’ and I am still irrationally angered by it.

If only fucking streaming apps would get rid of their fucking boot-up intro noises. Fuck all of them that do that.
