- Comment on CD Project devs want to "call out" big problems like homelessness and the wealth gap in Cyberpunk 2077 sequel 1 day ago:
Isn’t that… like… almost the entirety of the purpose of the genre?
- Comment on Anon goes to the gym for the first time 1 week ago:
I similarly gave some side-eye at the leg-day/deadlift thing, but some people have weird schedules 🤷♂️
- Comment on Anon goes to the gym for the first time 1 week ago:
You’ll be fine, rock gyms tend to be a super welcoming place, regardless of age or experience. Things like arthritis and age will affect your ability, sure, but not enough to prevent you from doing it at all - you just might not be able to go as often or for as long as others 🤷♂️
- Comment on Master roshi is a ephebophile 1 week ago:
Anyone who cares about the difference between pedophile and ephebophile shouldn’t be allowed near children. You disgust me.
- Comment on So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... 2 weeks ago:
Not the perspn you responded to, but just to serve as another data point: mostly just exhaustion. I am a full-time software developer, so I don’t want to deal with configurations and set up complex systems at a home. That’s why I haven’t gotten into any smart-home stuff, either - I just don’t have the bandwidth to deal with the issues that come with.
- Comment on Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why? 4 weeks ago:
long term, it’s cheaper to just play games online on PC
The companies are clearly coming to terms with this, as well. I’ll be avoiding Sony games on PC for the foreseeable future. After the Helldivers debacle, it’s clear that Sony is looking for ways to monetize PC players.
- Comment on The Rogue Prince of Persia has been delayed to avoid being overshadowed by Hades 2 4 weeks ago:
You’re kinda both right - Dead Cells was developed by Motipn Twin, who spun off a smaller team called Evil Empire to support it after release. Rogue PoP is developed by Evil Empire, not Motion Twin proper.

Dafuq is a weshwesh supposed to be
- Comment on Pills (Take Two) 5 weeks ago:
Shoebox full of gold. If my math is right, that comes out to roughly $8M or so
- Comment on Pray they don't alter it any further 1 month ago:
When you realize streaming services cost as much as cable did
Someone never actually paid for cable, huh?
- Comment on For security reasons 1 month ago:
The only outrage I see is in your comment 🙄
- Comment on The Rogue Prince of Persia has been delayed to avoid being overshadowed by Hades 2 1 month ago:
Anyone releasing a roguelite last week or even this week is fucking braindead. I don’t care how good your game is: Hades is the undisputed GOAT of the genre, competing with its sequels release could literally only have negative results compared to delaying.
- Comment on The Rogue Prince of Persia has been delayed to avoid being overshadowed by Hades 2 1 month ago:
Smart. I’ve got at least a week’s worth of Hades left to play, and I literally hadn’t heard of this game. Now, I’ll probably check it out when it drops.
- Comment on Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed this 1 month ago:
I was ready to be mad at this, thinking it was too lazy to be in shittymoviedetails… fits well as a shitpost, though 👍
- Comment on Tell me what it smells like in the comments! 1 month ago:
Isn’t engagement literally the whole point of these platforms?
- Comment on The choice is yours 1 month ago:
Cats ARE stinky, though… the litter box is in your house
- Comment on Anon envies the AVGN's power 1 month ago:
There was a recent example where a journalist reviewed turning red and said it wasn’t for him and gave it a bad score and people went berserk and called him racist and shit and he lost his job and they forced an apology out of him for not liking a movie.
Lol… he didn’t say he disliked the movie, he said the movie sucked because it was based on Asian culture and because of the female lead. He was pretty explicitly racist and misogynist in his review.
- Comment on Steam will stop issuing refunds if you play two hours of a game before launch day 2 months ago:
Ehhh, I’m actually (surprisingly) gonna disagree here. Obviously there are special cases, where the game worked in EA and had some game-breaking crash on release, but those are the exception and not the norm.
If you played a game in EA, you know more-or-less what you were getting on release. You know the developer’s communication style and their release cadence, and you’ve literally played the game. I would like to see this time limit extended back to maybe 30m/1hr, but I don’t see a problem with reducing it if you’ve already experienced parts of the game.
- Comment on On the heels of historic Volkswagen union vote, Starbucks asks Supreme Court to curb labor's power 2 months ago:
I stopped because their coffee is all burnt to hell and their workers won’t even eat their food when it’s free. Starbucks used to be decent, but at this point anything local will cost half as much and be 10x better.
- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 2 months ago:
I’d say it’s closer to the rule than the exception, but is closer to the middle than either of them.
Yes, a lot of addicts - most, probably - just shift their addiction to something else (hopefully something healthier), but the waters get real muddied when you start defining addiction. Is it still addiction if it’s good for you? Like, if I can’t get through a day without some celery, would people even call me an addict? If I can’t start my day without a run, would anyone ever think to say I have a problem?
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 2 months ago:
Fallout is hyper realistic
Ah, yes, stim-pacs have saved my life numerous times, and I also experience time dilation at my own whim!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
That wouldn’t be difficult at all if it was in version control, just load them into an editor in a binary-search fashion. Even if it takes a few minutes per check, that shouldn’t take more than a few hours.
- Comment on White House blasts new ban on flying BLM, gay pride flags at embassies 2 months ago:
Democrats literally put BLM and LGBTQ over America, what a surprise
…how so? They passed the budget, didn’t they?
- Comment on Brexit ban on EU ID cards ‘disastrous act of economic self-harm’, says tourism boss 3 months ago:
Eh, there’s plenty worth seeing and half of the people are worth meeting. Sure, most of them live on Ireland (the island), but still!
- Comment on Balatro Hits One Million Copies Sold In Less Than A Month, Mobile Port Incoming 3 months ago:
I can’t wait… these are the sorts of games that are made for portable play… I don’t want to play Zelda and pause the game mid-swing, I want this, backpack battles, etc.
- Comment on Peak organization 5 months ago:
1M songs is absurd. How many does Spotify even have?
- Comment on CD Projekt Is Not Interested in Being Acquired 5 months ago:
Could you imagine the state of their poor devs being abused by both CDPR and a shitty publisher? I don’t think anyone would make it out alive
- Comment on Indie publisher Versus Evil closed and all staff laid off 5 months ago:
…are you allowed to have layoffs after receiving a $3.5M settlement from your publisher? I know everyone will be feeling bad for the devs but this sounds sketchy as hell of them
- Comment on Marketing email's subject made me think my card got hacked 6 months ago:
That’s a good way for their emails to all get marked as scams. They think they’re being slick, but are actually destroying their marketing campaign.
- Comment on I know it's one of you guys 6 months ago:
If it was a dildo sculpted out of soap, we’d have the exact same replies as here.
