Ah THX. Haven’t seen yet, but style looked familiar 😊

Which character is the bottom one? It’s one of inside-out, right?
- Comment on For the little guys. 6 days ago:
I can very much imagine that. Here they “just” are an annoyance, but not dangerous.
- Comment on For the little guys. 6 days ago:
Sure, they have their role to play in this ecosystem. But tell me why I should care for possible reactions due to their utter eradication? We will kill this planet anyway in every way, the mosquitoes aren’t gonna change anything. And me, doing whatever, won’t change our specie’s course either. Greed signed that fate a long time ago.
That said though, my initial comment wasn’t meant dead-serious.
- Comment on For the little guys. 6 days ago:
Except mosquitoes please. Fuck those guys until death kills them dead.
- Comment on I am indeed old 1 week ago:
Nah, I’d say the same. Never understood this meme-craze. Especially the silly trend to make videos even shorter and shorter for all the tiny-attention-spans that doom-scroll mediocre (at best) content that is purely done to farm clicks.
Let alone the privacy-aspect of those grotesque social-medias. Except lemmy though. And reddit had its moments of good talks too.
And I’m old enough to miss IRC 😁

Ahhh a crapple-feature. That explains. Not used one of their devices to this day. No wonder that flew by my radar 😄 Thanks for explaining!

The what feature? She talks like everyone has this and I don’t even know what it’s about…
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Has Quests Exclusively Locked Behind Deluxe Edition 5 weeks ago:
Despite it seemingly being an actual remaster, not the usual 3-6 upscaled textures and 5 fresh new bugs, but a full price-tag plus paywalled quests? And no mods for a foreseeable future?
Pass. Maybe as warez, but…nah.
- Comment on For all you inked people 5 weeks ago:
I don’t see much of a difference. Besides the obvious physical one of course. You have paint on your face right now, whatever kind it might be. Maybe it’s a message, maybe you’re dumb, maybe you’ve made a big mistake at some time, maybe not. But should I care? Are you good people or a mean piece of human garbage? That is what counts (to me). You could be either, with or without paint. My prejudgment doesn’t cloud my actual judgment of you.
- Comment on For all you inked people 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say they’re a terrible idea. Except maybe you’d want to work one of those boring ass jobs where a stick up your arse is a requirement. Like accountant, salesman or bank-clerk.
But besides your own consequences in this world for having makeup or face-tats, I couldn’t care less. You’re not defined by the clothes you wear, the money in your accounts, the color of your skin, nor the paint you put on that. Permanent or not. Unless, as said, the message is obvious (swastika et al) and hence more judge-able. You’re defined by your actions. The facetat-dude could be the loveliest dude ever, while the suit could be the worst kid-beater.
What I would do is having a prejudgment maybe. But that is just by looking at you and has no intrinsic value at all, until you proove me right or wrong. Just a first impression.
I would (and actually do) hire anyone for anything if they prove to be good people (and obviously abled for the job). Heck, I have one dude managing a branch that is covered in tats (face too), wears some rock- or punk whatever outfit, is a harley-biker with rings heavier than my watch and looks like 3 angry people melted into one big SOB 😁… And is one of the kindest persons I’ve ever met who helps everyone and works his free time in a soup-kitchen.
Long story short: prejudgment should be just that. A quick judgment based on appearance prior to a real judgment based on character.
- Comment on For all you inked people 5 weeks ago:
I would actually not care or measure that into my judgment. At one particular time in their life, this felt like a great idea to them. We didn’t live their life, we can’t know. It might even make up for a great story to tell.
And on top of that: I see no difference to make-up, except it’s permanent. Women paint their faces like they’re applying to Clowns college and noone bats an eye. A nice face-tattoo is just more plainly identifieable as paint than good good makeup.
Not talking about a swastika or other stupid messages of course. If you portrait stupid messages I’m forced to deduct you’re stupid.

- Comment on Former SIEA President Says Players Will Pay $80 For Switch 2 Games 1 month ago:
Isn’t it obvious that people will pay that (or anything else)? If not, why should anyone get the console to begin with?
- Comment on Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2 1 month ago:
Aye. But even if “most people” (I kinda doubt it) would just buy indie then, it’s fine.
Same with the current *-flations. If 10 people buy my shit for 5 bucks. Or 5 people for 10 bucks. Or just one rich idiot pays 50…nothing much changed for the seller. Except he may save time, material, shipping, operating costs and…
Even Desasters like “forspoken” haven’t seen a notable discount despite its abysmal ratings. And it’s still sold. The garbage happening with gta5 now? It’s just ridiculous what happens in the gaming-industry and they still get away with everything all the time.
If maybe 70% of people stopped buying AAA it might trigger change. But 1 idiot that buys tons of ingame-shit replaces 20 critical customers.
Actually sad. I’m a gamer since pacman and pong. And I paid 70 bucks for the cartridges back then. No regrets. Then I went pirate for fun, then went legit and now pirate again (except for indie). That’s sad. Same with streaming like Netflix.
- Comment on Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2 1 month ago:
Lol, didn’t know the series. But I was thinking of no substance. Just a flipped bird,maybe along with some subtitles like “we hate you, you filthy stinking customer” and it would sell.
- Comment on Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2 1 month ago:
You’re right, but it’s also annoying that many people just totally don’t care for anything, And those are what bring markets down. AAA has become such a lackluster shitfactory in the last decade it’s baffling. But they still sell their shit, prices don’t even matter. Amount of stupid DLCs don’t matter…nothing really does. They could release a game that just literally flips you the bird and IGN (and the likes) would still say 7/10. Shit gets hyped and sold. The handful of critical customers converge to zero I assume. Neglectable.
I’m lucky to have a stupidly large budget for gaming, and most often just pirate stuff or buy indie games (And donate or just buy a 10 bucks indie 8 times or gift them or whatever)
- Comment on How the Nintendo Switch 2 stacks up to the Steam Deck 1 month ago:
I’m totally no consolero, but why would anyone choose a switch with the limited amount of disgustingly expensive games over a steam-deck? The controllers? The color? Why?
- Comment on Take-Two DMCAs Video Of GTA5 Mod To For GTA6 Map Content 1 month ago:
It’s easy: Stop buying their shit. You (not OP, generally asking) still do? Then why complain?
Guess we all know that gta6 will be nice at best but riddled with microtransactions, even for single-player. It will also be the highest AAA-price amongst some special-edition with 3 days early access and one ugly cosmetic (if they’re generous). And the focus will be online. As there is the most money.

- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 months ago:
Epic is no “challenger”, it’s just another launcher, nobody would ever speak about if they weren’t gifting away games and sitting on top of their engine.
Steam, as dangerous as it might be, is not just a launcher. It became a hub and social media of gaming.

Now I’m sure you’re just trolling and hence boring me.

Oh right, my bad. PETS (not animals per se) are “friends”. Cats 'n dogs love to have their balls cut off or uteri removed and thank you for your friendship to make that possible :-) If that works for you, who am I to judge the definition of friendship.
