It’s sad if you think about it too much…
I have a copy of Young Frankenstein with commentary from Mel Brooks. It’s basically how everyone involved in the film, except him, is dead.
“So this scene, lighting director was absolutely amazing, he’s dead.”
- Comment on 'When' this comes out, my life will be complete, lol. 10 hours ago:
Afraid I have news for you…
It’s slow. Interminably slow. You think you might be prepared for how slow it is, you are not.
Google “Red Dead Redemption 2 slow” if you doubt this.
Second, the controls absolutely suck. Not sure who decided the same button should be either “talk to NPC” or “shoot NPC right in the goddamned head” but that never should have passed play testing.
Again, Google “Red Dead Redemption 2 controls” if you doubt this.
I LOVED RDR1. Played the hell out of that game, was really looking forward to 2.
Then I had to walk through snow for an hour before anything happened.
Got through that godawful opening sequence, got to a bit where we’re going across a prairie, hear a call for help, ride over to talk to an NPC to see what’s going on and shoot them right in the goddamned head instead, prompting a fugitive run.
That’s when I realized I could re-start the game and try again, or just say “fuck it” and cut my losses. I cut my losses. I’m not going to fight bad game design AND the plot.

At this point, all three of them are dead. :)
- Comment on Instagram has somehow blocked me from accessing their website on the work profile on my phone 20 hours ago:
I’ve never used Android Work profile, but when I was a syaadmin, I did things like that with a DNS block. That would kill both the app and the web page.
- Comment on A Hellraiser video game. What do you all think? 1 day ago:
The OG film is the best, the rest are pretty disposable.
- Comment on A Hellraiser video game. What do you all think? 1 day ago:
Only shows cutscenes, no actual gameplay. Can’t tell if you’re playing the people or the Cenobytes… Not impressed.
- Comment on Instagram has somehow blocked me from accessing their website on the work profile on my phone 1 day ago:
More likely your work profile is set up to block Instagram. Instagram doesn’t care who you work for.
- Comment on Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with? 2 days ago:
I poke it from time to time, she’s going to murder me in my sleep some day, but not today! :)
- Comment on Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with? 2 days ago:
Talk to people like they’re actual human beings. Male/female, whatever, doesn’t matter.
First conversation with my now wife:
“I’m the QUEEEN of analogies!”
“Really? What’s that like?”
“. . . FUCK YOU! NOBODY EVER ASKED ME THAT BEFORE!”
LOL - She married me anyway… Just hit 14 years.
- Comment on Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself. 2 days ago:
Someone tried that with me, down to the “Well, not all men, but all predators are men…”
So I flipped it… Mary Kay Letourneau was a man?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Letourneau
“Oh, well, THAT’S different…”
Is it though? If these were male teachers, you’d be using that as “proof” all men are predators…

- Comment on Ubisoft's annual report dictates that the consumers are the problem 2 days ago:
Reminder:
ign.com/…/ubisoft-exec-says-gamers-need-to-get-co…
“One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That’s the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That’s a transformation that’s been a bit slower to happen [in games].”
I’m totally OK not owning Ubisoft games… but not in the way they would prefer… Where I hand them money and still don’t own anything.

You know, if sturdier packaging increases shipping costs, I’m OK with that.
I wouldn’t want to buy their Shaw Brothers sets and have them arrive beat to hell.

Interesting “Sinners” doesn’t make the list. Too soon?
- Comment on Nintendo refuses to repair water damaged Switch 2 console 1 week ago:
Nobody does, the problem is claiming water damage with no evidence.
- Comment on Nintendo refuses to repair water damaged Switch 2 console 1 week ago:
The more I hear about the Switch 2, the more appropriate that seems…
- Comment on Nintendo refuses to repair water damaged Switch 2 console 1 week ago:
Nintendo has a history of BS repair refusals.
I had an LCD failure on a GBA, they said it was dropped when it wasn’t and I found photo evidence of a retail unit with the same size and shape failure.
They did fix it, but it was like pulling teeth.
- Comment on Kakapos 1 week ago:
I first heard about them in Last Chance to See where they are described not only as a bird who has forgotten how to fly, but they have forgotten that they have forgotten how to fly.
So if you startle one of the poor dears, they’re liable to climb a tree and fling themselves out of it.

- Comment on Looking for cozy / wholesome gaming communities 2 weeks ago:
Video gaming or tabletop gaming?
For tabletop, I recently discovered “The Land of Eem” and it looks like the definition of “Cosy”.
YouTube, Discord, it’s all over the place. Described as “Lord of the Rings With Muppets”.

How many of these accounts can now be compromised by answering X/Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/What’sApp?

- Comment on What is the funniest insult / joke you've come up with on the spot? 3 weeks ago:
Saturday before Easter… 17 or 18 year old kid was going on and on about how he couldn’t wait to get home so he could play Call of Duty all night, and this and that… lots of swearing, lots of talk about shooting and destruction.
Me: “I dunno man, don’t you have to be in bed early so the Easter Bunny will come?”
- Comment on Nintendo’s Anti-Consumer Anti-Piracy Measures Also Reduce The Value Of The Switch 2 3 weeks ago:
For point 1, this sounds like a class action waiting to happen.
You buy a Nintendo console, Nintendo says you broke the rules and bans that console, now non-Nintendo games won’t work on it because it’s banned from reaching online services.
