Americans cant even agree that fascism=bad, what makes you think Americans can give enough of a fuck about something like hidden fees to get something done.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
the driver isnt the person making the fees. they are getting screwed just as much as you are
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
The greed during covid exploded. especially where companies felt people were stuck/captured, like delivery services.
I wouldnt be surprised if they start dying soon from their short term profits from gouging running out.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
“Estimated Taxes” is where they hide all the bullshit made up fees and imaginary taxes that are pure profit and increase profit margin, but if they listed it as “Customer Fuck-over Fee” people would obviously stop using it.
- Comment on My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video 2 weeks ago:
most websites like youtube/twitter/facebook/etc/etc are all heavily pro-right wing.
They’ve claimed in the past they don’t want to appear “biased” by cracking down on right wingers for rules violations. but honestly, it was obviously bullshit since they had no problem with “biased” appearances when cracking down on any other group, and often for far far far less than what right wingers routinely get away with.

youtube algo is such a piece of shit.
Watch lets plays and retro tech channels, every day, for months.
Accidentally watch 30 seconds of a right wing psychopaths video because they buried the lede with the video title, and all youtube wants to show me for 2 weeks is right wing extremist bullshit, and takes months to get back into getting suggested the shit i normally watch on the daily.

Something about slow mo shooting hitlers one testicle with xray vision with a sniper rifle just makes the day seem brighter.

I look forward to eagerly not playing it.
- Comment on Coffeezilla does a third part of his CS:GO gambling expose...where he squarely puts the blame on Valve 1 month ago:
Its the problem with corporate worship. People cant admit that they might be wrong, so they just get angry and hostile.
Especially when you point out that a lot of what they praise about Valve, was forced reactions to consumer protection lawsuits.

These things terrify the fuck out of me.
on more than one occasion i’ve had them detonate in my hand and launch biscuit dough out of the kitchen and across the next room, a distance that boggles minds and terrifies gods.

I appreciate you digging up the link and even timestamping the relevant area. Top class, thank you very much.
Also I forgot just how utterly massive of a cunt the Artesian CEO was. Man had significant Elon Musk vibes, Just didnt have the money or family money to stop his fall.
- Comment on Carcinisation? 2 months ago:
I tried about 6 months ago after falling deep into DoshDoshington’s various Factorio Mod and Challenge series.
I got about 15 hours in before I was just overwhelmed with what I was doing. I miss being young and eager.
- Comment on Carcinisation? 2 months ago:
the last time I gave factorio a serious run was waaaay back in its beta, before it was even finished and had an end game.
its just gotten so complicated since then that I get overwhelmed, especially when you start to scale up and realize you fucked something up and have to undo an entire day of shit to move something 2 tiles or something.

Its at least rare enough that it stood out enough for me to pause the video and go back to hear it again to confirm.

Google literally only pays firefox so it can point at firefox and go “Look, see, not anti-competitive/monopoly!”

Because hateful people always need an other. an outsider. Someone to feel fearful of, yet superior too.
It used to be black people.
then it was the irish and the itallians.
then it was hispanics.
then it was gays
and now its trans people.

1 is just a multilevel death match.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 2 months ago:
IF it comes out, its been years, already, and Konami isnt exactly the best company. I still hold true to the belief they only announced it to take thunder away from that game the suikoden creators made, never expecting the massive immediate interest which made them do a definitive “oh shit”, which probably accounts for the delays, since it probably didnt get started until they realized they put themselves in a corner, lol.
I dont blame you for not finishing 3, Imho 3 is the weakest of the suikoden games, the way the main story is divided between 3 prospectives that you keep bouncing between really hinders getting into it, at least in my opinion. by the time they all converge together at the end, it feels like you’ve only just started getting into the game and now its over.
4 had a good story, but I feel like they cranked the encounter rate up when they realized it didnt have enough game to last 40+ hours otherwise, because holy shit you cant seem to move more than 2 steps without a random battle.
5 is, I think, the distillation of everything good about Suikoden into 1 game. It shed all the bad mechanics, enhanced all the good mechanics, had a brilliant story, characters you fall in love with, and more. I would LOVE to see 5 come to PC. I dont even need a remaster, just a straight port.
And thats saying a lot because Suikoden 1 and 2 were goddamn brilliant, exceptional masterpieces in their own right.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 2 months ago:
yep. Good games are timeless.
Its why you can still go back and play great old games like Suikoden, or Final Fantasy, or Street Fighter, or whatever, without issue. cause they are timeless.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 2 months ago:
is real good. and stands up too. still as good today as it was 20 years ago.
except the bridge level.
Fuck the bridge level.

and now, they are wanting to sell games for 70-80 bucks for AAA titles.
Its not cause the games are 50 dollars that they arent making enough hundreds of millions. The only reason these AAA games arent making bank is because they’re shit
Can anyone honestly remember the last AAA title that wasnt an absolute dog pile?

People keep saying SNES/N64/etc games were super expensive…and i just wanna ask where they were buying them?
Cause everytime I went into the stores to get one they were 49.99.

regular reminder that digital distribution was sold to us under the false promise that games would be cheaper, because they wouldnt have to pay for printing boxes, CDs, manuals, greebles, Wouldnt have to pay for shipping or storage, or any other burden addition of physical media.
That we’d be able to buy games for 30 dollars, and that that the developers and everyone involved would make more money than they would have paying 50 for a physical game.

People seem to forget that just moderately decent games sell magnitudes more today than they did 20 years ago, too, thus continuing to bring in insane cash (as long as you arent sony or rockstar and being obscenely wasteful…) despite inflation, this making them a good entertainment investment for people whose minimum wage hasnt changed in like 15 years

Lutris lets you add your GOG account and download/install games directly. its not Galaxy, but its pretty flawless.
