You’ve ruined this for me, while at the same time making it so much better.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 2 weeks ago:
Probably remasters or remakes. They don’t want to compete with themselves.

That scene in Idiocracy where the smart couple fail to reproduce comes to mind.

Being illiterate has no correlation with wanting other people to do all the work for me. We’re just lazy. Please do some homework before jumping to conclusions.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 1 month ago:
Easy. I’m the new CEO of the company we set up there. Employee salary is an expenditure, and being a company in that country, it qualifies for that rebate unless there’s more details I’m missing. I was also grossly over-simplifying in my original comment, I’m sure it’s more complicated than that. I also just attribute Hollywood Accounting (see other commenter’s post) to anything listed as a box office loss.

“I lost $100 million dollars making this movie. Coincidentally, I also paid myself $100 million to make this movie.”

“As the CEO, if I pay myself $100 million for making this movie, I will get $25 million of that back from government reimbursement.”
No big budget movie will ever make a profit because they make sure the big wigs get paid the amount the profit would have been. It is intentional.
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 1 month ago:
This might make sense for people with six+ figures sitting in a savings account, but the average person today doesn’t have enough cash to think about earning interest on it. For them, paying off a debt now would be cheaper in the long run. For the most part, at least.
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 1 month ago:
I like these points. Preventing a future expense by paying less now is always worth it, if you can afford it.
- Comment on Anon seeks enlightenment 1 month ago:
One can be folded into oragami. The other can be shot from a slingshot. I am truly enlightened.
- Comment on Home Depot 1 month ago:
I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They’d do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.
We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.

I’ve solved this problem by simply being scheduled 7 days a week for the rest of eternity.

Now do beam beans.

Wouldn’t the fart bubbles make the pee go everywhere? Like air bubbles in a garden hose when you first turn it on.
- Comment on Steering Wheel Manager oversteer adds support for more wheels and Flatpak 3 months ago:
I saw the headline and thought that “Steering Wheel Manager” was another one of the dumb simulation games flooding Steam. Guess it’s not.

There are some things we don’t have to imagine, because everybody has experienced licking it. One such example is OP’s mom.
- Comment on Pixar CCO Says Live-Action Remakes Bother Him: “I Like Making Movies That Are Original” 5 months ago:
Instead of making live action remakes of animated movies, we should make more Muppets remakes of live action movies.

This one is a classic and always pops up in my head when I’m craving pickles.

So did the restaurant.
- Comment on Yellow to yellow, red to red 7 months ago:
And here I was thinking I was the only one that is bothered by the bisecting angles. Except I can’t step on the outlines unless it lands between my heel and toes where my feet wouldn’t touch them.
- Comment on 15 billion score in Pokemon Pinball + Caanoo 8 months ago:
Holy crap, that’s dedication. Were you using savestates at all?
My late uncle let me play his copy when I was a kid, and when he told me I caught some pokemon he didn’t have. I got really proud of myself. I remember always trying to get the Master Ball, but it was too hard on the Red table, so I’d always play blue.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 8 months ago:
Definitely, assuming you like the fantasy action RPG style games. Some enemies are too tough to even damage until you level up and get better equipment, so keep that in mind if you find some sections too difficult. Magic actually feels POWERFUL, more so than other games like Skyrim and Elden Ring. Even with the sequel coming out soon, I couldn’t recommend the first one more; its in my most favorite games of all time.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 8 months ago:
I have so many Steam Sale games in my library that I haven’t played yet that I don’t know if I could justify buying more. My backlog is just too long. By the time I get around to playing any purchases for this dale, 2 more Steam Sales could have already passed.
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 8 months ago:
Dragon’s Dogma is a great game that was ahead of its time when it came out. I can’t help but wonder how much of a hit it could have been if Capcom marketed it better (or at all).
