I don’t think multi billion dollars is enough to fight this behemoth. Especially when it has basically all the support of the corrupt government. It’s a suicide and everyone knows it.

Well, they’re not gaming charity, sure. I don’t think anybody expected them to sell their hardware at a loss.

The average price of a used car in us is 30k+ according to a quick google. Which incidentally is the price of a nissan leaf, give or take. According to that statistics, your 5k bucket of rust is in the minority.
That statistical majority that buys a car for 30k+ should not be buying a gas one when ev exists. - Comment on Stay inside 3 days ago:
Oh, I know that, and my heart goes out to y’all. However, there is no requirement that it will have to be a gasoline car.

Good, elongated muskrat doesn’t deserve more money. Good thing he doesn’t have a monopoly on ev

It’s weird that you don’t see your regular gasoline car that yall americans have as an expensive investment.
Also, no way a cheapest ebike is thousands of bucks. I bet you can get one for the price of a couple of months of gas. Or get an acoustic one even cheaper, it will be better for your health.
Also also no way a cheap skate is hundreds. - Comment on I will kill you 1 week ago:
Most of my friends were also smoking, most of the colleagues I regularly talked to I’ve met on smoking breaks, my dad gifted me our family heirloom cigarette case when I turned 18. You might underestimate how normal was smoking back then. Until we moved out of our small-ish village when I was around 7, I didn’t know or seen any non-smoking adult.
- Comment on I will kill you 1 week ago:
I think you’re overestimating the ability of adults to assert the consequences of their actions. I smoked into adulthood, and I honestly thought that “pros” of smoking outweigh the cons, and “I fucking enjoy the process” was one of the pros.
I couldn’t be more wrong, of course, but unfortunately, I didn’t stop because my intellect told me so, I was given the initial push by the circumstances making the habit less convenient. - Comment on I will kill you 1 week ago:
You can just vomit a wordsalad and say it was a joke, it’s not how joking works.
- Comment on I will kill you 1 week ago:
Nah, when I was smoking I was truly enjoying the process. It was bad, obviously, but I fucking loved it. It was also a period where smoking was cool, so not only it was pleasant, but I looked cool doing it. And because it worsens your sense of smell, even downsides weren’t perceived badly.
I’m so glad it’s finally over, but I’m glad about it now, not then. - Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 1 week ago:
For those people consumerism is the hobby. They don’t get anything by buying new computer every 2 years, other than the act of buying itself. For wast majority of gamers the cycle is closer to 8-10 years. Personally, I’m playing on a laptop that I bought in 2020 and it runs everything I want it to run no problem, and I’m planning to change it only when it breaks irreparably.

- Comment on First Skywind progress video since 2024 2 weeks ago:
Nah, it’s not because new games are all bad as I assume you’re trying to imply. It’s a combination of nostalgia, and the fact that Bethesda really cooked a lighting in the bottle both with Morrowind and with Skyrim, and it’s worth playing around with both even still. Old stuff doesn’t become worthless when new stuff arrives.
- Comment on First Skywind progress video since 2024 3 weeks ago:
Skyrim is no ordinary engine, it’s the modding engine. You could start porting any modern game to it and it will still have some merit.

The internal politics of the party is not the only democratic process available to you. Pretending that it’s a big conspiracy that you need to be a member of a political organisation to effect said organisation is one of the most insane arguments against participating in democracy I’ve heard recently, so congrats on that.
Yeah, I would also want American insane political system to be not as insane. Maybe participate in it a bit more, and you can change it, huh? - Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:
…that’s how it’s supposed to work, yes. You chose your party affiliation first, then you chose how this party is shaped.
Do I also think it’s stupid? Absolutely. But that’s the system you have, and you don’t get another one by just ignoring it really hard. - Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:
Multiple years passed since then. Things are different now.

People who helped to elect Trump, by action or inaction, are way more pro-genocide. In terms of people genocided, it’s a worse outcome. There was no ideal outcome on the table, the one where genocide just stops, but there was possibility for the deescalation. Not this possibility is gone and wouldn’t return for a long time, and the only people who are at fault there is American voters, who collectively saw the possibilities and chose the worst one.
- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:
You’re playing “hammer to the nuts” game instead, because that’s the only other game in town. And in case it needed to be said, it’s a worse game to play, there is no winners there.
- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:
You seem to hung up on the fact that presidential nominee that both DNC and the democratic party voters chose got health issues and the party chose his running mate and a person who got second place on primaries to be the next candidate, instead of starting the primaries 3 months before the election.
And that’s technically true, but what to you think they should’ve done instead? Or are you doing it from the perspective of a pure internet argument? Like, “see, sometimes the candidate you chose gets sick therefore the democracy doesn’t exist” type shit? - Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:
only registered democrats are allowed to vote
It’s free, and you can do it either online, or by mail, or in person. What the “I would vote but don’t know how to buy stamps” bullshit argument is that?
- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:
In the whole history of DNC’s existence, there was, as far as I remember, two instances of DNC choosing a candidate against popular vote. One was more than a century ago nobody remembers nobody cares, and another one was when they chose Obama even though he lost almost a percent. And that turned out to be actually a good and correct decision.
When Hilary, was nominated, both times Biden was nominated, it was always aligned with a popular vote. We don’t know what superdelegates would’ve done, but what we know is that so far they do exactly what democratic party voters want them to do. If you want them to do something else, and god fucking knows we all do, you can start by actually showing them that.
Either there is not enough people agree with your desires, or enough of them do and they don’t do anything about it. In both cases DNC isn’t a problem, you are. - Comment on Miss me 1 month ago:

Not mutilating kids’ genitals is significant enough topic that requires talking about it. You putting it that low on your priority list actually says about you more than you care to admit, and the commenter doth protest too much to show how don’t care you are about it.
Not being as bad as some other shit doesn’t make this issue non-existent. - Comment on type shit 1 month ago:

Victor Orban is also very much not Polish, but what does it matter, right?
Anyway, sure, you’re technically correct, the most insane Polish Catholic is insane. Serves me right for trying to insert some literary flér of hyperbole in this serious scientific conversation.
We were talking about popluational trends and statistics though, in which case I will explicitly say that I’m talking about “median” population, not literaly the extreme 0.1% - Comment on type shit 1 month ago:
Do you bring up fisting in every conversation or only when it’s about something below the belt?
