Nope. Never figured it out
- Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare? 3 weeks ago:
Because instead they just outright deny the claim and pay nothing. It also works against them if people start to realize they can get cheaper care elsewhere.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 4 weeks ago:
Part of the issue is that AAA still hasn’t learned how to manage and produce passion projects, which most great games are. They keep wanting to use what’s working elsewhere with no regard for what makes sense in their own game.
- Comment on Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting 5 weeks ago:
Joysticks still drifting is an embarrassment.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 1 month ago:
Well, time and a sale it is, then.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 1 month ago:
I guess me and my several thousand borderlands hours are not a real fan then? The games weren’t worth $80 even when they came with goodies. They’re not worth $80 without the goodies. I’ll just wait for a sale.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 months ago:
True, but the problem (at least for me) is that I was simultaneously going nowhere and running out of places to go. I legit wasn’t sure how to progress literally any of the opened quests and felt like nothing was getting done.
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 2 months ago:
Reasonable, but you’d be fooling yourself to act as if forums will meaningfully replace Discord for most users.
- Comment on What is this called? 2 months ago:
I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I’ll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they’re not really the style I’d want to go wear out and about.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 2 months ago:
I’m normally at least moderately excited for nintendo’s release lineup. This time, though… it’s neat I guess?
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 months ago:
Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 3 months ago:
They already have.
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 3 months ago:
Yes, inflation happened, and purchasing power has not grown or stayed the same with it. People can’t afford as much, so rising prices on entertainment are going to sting even more.
- Comment on Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why 3 months ago:
Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 3 months ago:
He thinks the president should hire/fire anyone they want, but they dislike the people the president has been choosing.
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 3 months ago:
All? Unlikely. But some? A lot harder to say. You’re asking for an opinion-based prediction at this point. I think they’ll probably eventually try to get the most outspoken critics, but I also think that’s a good time to not go silent. You get organized.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 3 months ago:
Based on play and replay, it seems to be either Payday 2 or Borderlands 2.
Payday2, especially if you have tons of builds and DLC, is a fantastic brain-off mob shooter where you can slightly improve/perfect your build and gameplay with each run. For some reason it just works for me.
Borderlands 2: fun guns; solid story; visuals and mechanics that mostly hold up today. It’s just a good time and another skill-tree builder game where you get to feel like a god if you’ve assembled your skill tree right. The NG+ modes are a bit of a slog, but playthrough 1 is just a solid time.
- Comment on This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting. 4 months ago:
Yeah, they are lucky to have me. Instant access to me via phonecall is not one of the reasons, but that’s fine because they don’t need instant access via phonecall.
- Comment on Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025 4 months ago:
Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it’s still sad to see.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 4 months ago:
It’s been fairly blatant for a while now. Theseig heil is coming out now that they feel they’ve won. The goal is for the US to fall this time.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
It’s honestly fairly level headed for anyone. Make sure your loved ones aren’t making dramatic and life-altering changes without being sure they want it? Seems reasonable to me. Especially for a topic that is largely a muddled mystery for the average person.
- Comment on Dinner bell is going off 5 months ago:
Occasionally my partner will do that too. I’ve had it happen to me, like, twice.
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 5 months ago:
Short answer is “propaganda”. News agencies against immigration will pretty regularly swap between “illegal immigrants”, “immigrants”, and <insert current target race here> as if they’re practically interchangable to build whatever narrative they want, and also to slowly build an association between ‘people of <insert race>’, ‘being a drain on society’, and ‘being here illegally’ to get the average person to side with them.
- Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 5 months ago:
2 years to maybe do something, 4 years maybe to maybe do something better.
- Comment on Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff 5 months ago:
I think the big “issue” is that there’s a notable lag between loss of goodwill and loss of income/profit/value, and there’s an even bigger lag between trying to fix goodwill and returns on that. It makes it too hard for any profit-first company to get right.
- Comment on After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game 5 months ago:
Platformers.
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 6 months ago:
I think this is the big contention point. In a world without a need for jobs, AI would be a neat alternative method of art generation, and a fascinating advancement of technology as a whole…
but UBI is not yet real and jobs still need to be had. Without some form of life-securement for those who provided the art to be trained off of, we’re just using tech to really fuck people over. It’s definitely a moral grey area - very dark grey.
- Comment on Anon doesn't wash 6 months ago:
I was going to mention not washing your chicken, but the comments nail it. Don’t wash your chicken, the bacteria just spreads around your kitchen.
- Comment on Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏 6 months ago:
And actions/motions needed to be exaggerated to fully come across.
- Comment on A fake Nintendo lawyer is scaring YouTubers, and it’s not clear YouTube can stop him 6 months ago:
Bruh nintendo seems starkly opposed to getting even ok at modern networking.
