- Comment on GTA VI Might Inspire Other AAA Developers to Price Their Games at $100 2 days ago:
if it’s higher than $60 it can go suck a fuck
in fact, if the online is as ridden with issues as 5’s online has been, I’ll probably just pirate it. Why would I want to pay $60+ just so I can get squeezed for even more money via microtransactions?

because reddit admins are surely always in the right and never overzealous about banning for the slightest transgression or even non-transgressions, right?
…right?

Trump is the symptom of a problem Reagan was the harbinger of. Without Reagan and all that followed after him, you do not get a Trump presidency.

not to diminish this in the slightest, but Ohio has been making everyone in and around the state miserable for a very long time, so this is merely par for the course.

uBlock Origin blocks ads, it generally doesn’t block cookie popups (and if it does, only on the initial load). This will nuke any overlay that appears during, or after the page loads. So cookie popups, newsletter subscription begging, all that shit goes away, even the ones that wait until you start scrolling.

Precisely. Full Speed Swarm with some damage mods made the game so much better. Guns felt like guns but ho boy you were not at a loss of things to kill
- Comment on Pictured: 95% of gameplay in Payday 2's Death Sentence difficulty [Day 29] 3 weeks ago:
honestly I modded the fuck out of my Payday 2 because I didn’t like how tanky enemies were on higher difficulties compared to how fragile the player is. I’m fine with being fragile, but if I shoot someone in the face with a 12 gauge, I expect their face to not exist anymore, just like mine – whereas on anything higher than death wish, without modding, you might as well be throwing pocket sand at them while they down you with maybe 1 or 2 shots.
Fortunately, the entire game being a house of cards built on LUA makes modding it super easy.

This.
Use words accurately, or you dilute their meaning. Being a shit person is one thing, being evil is on another level. Conflating the real evil fuckers of this world with your average asshole diminishes the true depth of their awfulness.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 3 weeks ago:
ah, see, now that’s more like it.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 3 weeks ago:
This told me nothing I didn’t already know. Like I said, he was a dickhead. But “evil” requires a level of maliciousness that transcends the people you are in physical contact with, imo – you have to be actively striving to make life worse for at least a few thousand people.
A dickhead and a shitty father, sure. But “evil” would require him to have done something much worse than just treat his kid and the people in his immediate orbit like shit. Just my opinion.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 3 weeks ago:
Why, exactly? Genuinely asking. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m no Apple fan, and he was absolutely an insufferable douchebag to nearly everyone he knew; and was a verifiable self-righteous fuckwit who Darwin’d himself out of existence by choosing woo-woo bullshit over medicine for a very treatable cancer.
Evil, though, I think might be a stretch – Elon, Thiel, Vance, Trump, Murdoch, the Sackler family, the Koch brothers, etc. all excellent contenders for being truly evil – but afaik Jobs was just a dickhead with an ego the size of a blimp, and I think we ought not dilute that term with just your run-of-the-mill dickheads. Unless you know something I don’t about him.

BioShock Infinite and Spec Ops: The Line are the only two games I’ve played that I would consider “art” in the truest sense of the word. Video games in general are creative works, but those who have played them know what I mean.

In its defense, the symptom I googled most recently like a year and a half ago, did, in fact, turn out to be cancer.
Yes, I’m fine now. But sometimes it’s right.

Speaking of France, the last use of the guillotine for an execution was in 1977. There are probably people reading this who were alive when it happened – it’s not too late to bring it back.
