Great post! So a shitty shitpost. Or a very good shitpost. I’m still not sure.
- Comment on Crimson Desert sales top five million 3 days ago:
True. I haven’t even seen that it already released, and yes, it looks very good.
Also true for wow…though there are still many players. Interestingly, as nothing much did change over the last, I dunno, 500 years since its release
- Comment on Crimson Desert sales top five million 3 days ago:
I actually just assume marketing to sell 5m copies. As I don’t consume social media or YouTube I have no idea.
But even if that sounds impressive then, it’s still no index for quality IMHO. Buuuut consideting that it’s already released and reviews look good my point is worthless here.
As it uses denuvo I haven’t checked myself yet. When they remove it it’s an instant purchase.
- Comment on Crimson Desert sales top five million 3 days ago:
Kinda true. But also depends. A shitty game selling 5mio and retaining 5% is worse than a great game selling 100k and retaining 50%
I’m extremely fast at math, but horribly bad, so…just assume the numbers match the point 😁
But yes of course. For an online game, sales can give a rough estimate of success.
- Comment on Crimson Desert sales top five million 3 days ago:
Who cares for sales? You can sell dried colored assholes to people with enough marketing. That’s rarely a good index for anything. Except you’re a shareholder.

Great times, but…nowadays I would go nuts if I had to put a cassette in and wait for what felt like 5yrs to learn it was the wrong one…
I grew very impatient 😁
- Comment on English has too many words for animals 5 days ago:
Depends. Is the turtle made of wood?

🤷♂️
- Comment on Like seriously, go get some experience first and come back to me kid 5 days ago:
I’m even more impressed. And also couldn’t care less what you might think.
- Comment on Like seriously, go get some experience first and come back to me kid 5 days ago:
Careful! You might scare him away!
- Comment on Like seriously, go get some experience first and come back to me kid 5 days ago:
You extracted very much information from that lil I said. Impressive.
- Comment on English has too many words for animals 5 days ago:
Simple. One can be thrown into water and it’ll be OK. The other…not so much.
- Comment on Always funny to hear the young try to figure out stuff from the past. 5 days ago:
I’m old enough to remember using cassette tapes and a monochrome monitor 😁
- Comment on Like seriously, go get some experience first and come back to me kid 5 days ago:
No idea tbh…
- Comment on Like seriously, go get some experience first and come back to me kid 6 days ago:
OK I admit…multiple bans in both came naturally and easy. I had not put effort into it 😁
- Comment on Like seriously, go get some experience first and come back to me kid 6 days ago:
Amateurs…
Try hexbear AND ml 😁

Lol. So typical.
- Comment on Kol-Ut-Shan | New Tattoo 1 week ago:
Understandably! I’ve read about it and yes totally. I’d say every Trekkie embraces this philosophy. How could one not 😊 Now I actually want one too 😁
- Comment on Kol-Ut-Shan | New Tattoo 1 week ago:
Oooohhh…I guess I have to submit my trekkie-badge at the desk for having not known this. Thanks!
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 1 week ago:
Weird indeed. It should not. My deleted usually appear as such
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 1 week ago:
Lol…it’s just there. It still is. At least for me
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 1 week ago:
Well, you obviously speak for the USA. And despite things like thermal cutoffs or automatic shutoffs, things were pretty safe here (Germany) in the 60-90s.
Also, there is a difference between general advancements in safety regulations and putting tons of unnecessary features in a device that will break soon. No Tesla of today will probably still be going in 50yrs or after 500.000km.
The higher the complexity, the higher the chance of failure.
And on top of it, there was no “planned obsolescence” or even suicides switches built in. Bad for capitalism, good for people.
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 1 week ago:
Not quite. The lesser the complexity, the longer the life. Even if both use the same cheap hardware to begin with. More systems => more areas where it could fail and eventually will.
And don’t forget planned obsolescence. That was no thing back in the days.
- Comment on Kol-Ut-Shan | New Tattoo 1 week ago:
Looks cool, but…what is it? Did I miss something Trekkie?
- Comment on One new message! 1 week ago:
And tiktok…and fuckbook and x and y and however all the cancer is called. Where can I sign?

Exactly. I guess it’s because procreation is our only biological reason. And if you don’t play along you’d look like a worker-bee that doesn’t work (in every layer of that word).
I hear you about family, but I just broke with every idiot. My opinion (because it deviates too much from what is allowed in “free speech”) was always belittled, but if they need money, they all know where to find me. Well…knew 😁
Yup, couldn’t have said it more cynical. Kids are shat in this world my parent’s gen (boomer) already paved the way for destruction, that my gen followed nicely. Millenials had it really shitty and I don’t wann see the future of the newest generations.
It always gets me thinking that we need 2k in cost and many many hours of training and learning to be allowed to drive a car. But every Joe and Jane can procreate even if they’re dumb AND poor. No license needed. Just go ahead make as many cute babies as you want.
- Comment on One new message! 1 week ago:
Yup exactly. All that money (and time, good lord the time!) sunk into lil brats could well be spend elsewhere. FOSS indeed! We also donate a lot and work for free at homeless shelters and such.
But most people prefer to keep running away from thinking by allocating 101% of time to everything but themselves. Jobs, kids, pets…
And this caretaker-for-when-i-am-old…it’s not only disgusting but also too risky. And with all that money sunk into those kids I could buy people who’d take care of me.
- Comment on One new message! 1 week ago:
No thanks. I prefer aaaallll the money and time to wifey and myself. We enjoy our hobbies, travel the world, do what we want the whole day long, every day. That’s freedom.
Why would we want kids? And even if, we weren’t rich enough to put kids into this dumpster-fire…

Ugh this was what instantly made me abandon it. Procedural generation is great in theory but (for me!) Never ever worked. It’s just boring the minute you identified the building blocks.
