- Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced 2 weeks ago:
If you mean games, yes.
If you mean consoles (like the post suggests), then what they’re saying is that your strategy won’t work…at least if you want to buy them new.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, interesting! Is parental consent legally required for certain ages to date in some places?
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 3 weeks ago:
I was asking if they thought that people under 18 shouldn’t date.
15 and 16 pair work by the 1/2 + 7 rule, but not by “Anything goes 18+” rule

16 and 15 shouldn’t date?

50 and 32? Maybe, I guess?..
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 4 weeks ago:
I thought bar food is tipped the same as restaurant food.
Tipping a dollar a drink is standard because
- It’s easy
… that’s really it. No thinking, no math, etc. which is important when you’re drinking.
Also, you too per drink so the bartender knows you tip right from the start.
- Comment on Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"? 4 weeks ago:
Because they get neutered/spayed
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 weeks ago:
Your title says “What are in you are top 3 favourite games of all time”.
You were thinking of “your”, which is possessive. “You’re” is a contraction of “you” and “are”; the apostrophe is a hint there.
- Comment on What’s the best written Pokémon game? 1 month ago:
Probably a Mystery Dungeon game. I’d go with Gen 5, having not played it on ages, for a mainline game.
Scarlet/Violet was surprisingly decent, at least in the end-game.

Not every single piece of art goes into a museum
- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 1 month ago:
Haha, it wasn’t the end of the sentence, but I don’t think the rest of the sentence meaningfully changed that particular clause!
- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 1 month ago:
Rape and incest ain’t for me but I take serious offense when they get banned
phrasing
- Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life? 1 month ago:
Did a whole bunch of different things. Stopped doing things I didn’t like when I had the security (money, support, etc.) to do so.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 month ago:
Your username has a typo
- Comment on Fan hacks Animal Crossing to make it compatible with GameCube Keyboard Controller and much more 1 month ago:
The GC didn’t have a keyboard, so it was useful for MMORPGs. Not sure if I should be pluralizing that, though. It might’ve only been PSO.
- Comment on I'm setting up a Windows 11 laptop for my uncle. Is there a sneaky way to make it block right-wing bullshit websites? 1 month ago:
If he’s living with you, you could try to block it at the router/firewall level.
On the machine, I’d just make it really slow rather than block it outright. Make it as unpleasant as possible to access those sites without blocking them outright. Making them slow makes it look like the sites suck. Blocking them makes it look like you did it or some conspiracy thing.
But if he lives with you, blocking them from your network is perfectly ethical imo
- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition is free to claim on Epic 1 month ago:
I got the base game for free a few years ago.
I played and enjoyed it so much I bought the Platinum edition…on Steam, because it was cheaper there. (And other reasons, but this was the biggest one)
One of the few games I actually went out and bought thanks to Epic. I feel slightly bad for not buying from them, lol
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 2 months ago:
“impacts” has been in my vocabulary for as long as I remember, and it’s common to use it that way. The dictionaries even have that definition.
I’m not afraid of language evolving.
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 2 months ago:
If media can say “slammed” to mean “said something about”, I can use “impacted” to mean “affected”. Especially when we have the word “impactful”.
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 2 months ago:
Yes.
And I see that you asked a different question in your post, too.
Yes to that, too.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around? 2 months ago:
If an ordered item arrives broken once, it’s a shitty delivery company. 1-star probably isn’t warranted unless the company is shitty about replacing it.
If an ordered item arrives broken regularly, it’s a problem that the company should’ve fixed.
If a game doesn’t work on one person’s machine, maybe they’ve got a bunch of malware installed or something.
If it doesn’t work on many people’s machines that meet the recommended specs, the company is at fault and deserves bad reviews.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around? 2 months ago:
If it runs poorly on the recommended specs, bad reviews are warranted.

Real men are woke

I dunno, Yoshi’s Island can get pretty hard…
- Comment on Why can countries recognise both... 2 months ago:
Why are North Korea and South Korea both recognized internationally?
[the rest of the explanation here]
- Comment on Why can countries recognise both... 2 months ago:
It’s a bad choice, imo. The title should usually have the entire question within.
- Comment on Why can countries recognise both... 2 months ago:
I know this doesn’t answer your question, but I think something went wrong with your formatting. In Voyager (Lemmy), your title seems to be cut off, and the body of your post is way bigger than it should be, lol
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Do you live somewhere that you can get around without relying on a car (or someone with a car)?
If not, can you reasonably move to and live in a place like that?
If those are options, do those.
If not, learn how to drive properly and safely. DO NOT drive unless you feel in control of the car on public roads.
“Not being good at multitasking” isn’t an excuse to put people’s lives in danger.
Some people need more time to learn and practice and that’s fine. You need to take responsibility and take that time to learn and practice.
It may need more than lessons. It might require therapy. But if you need to drive, then you need to drive safely. And relying on other people to drive for you is not the answer either.
- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 2 months ago:
Last I heard, “learning styles” are a myth
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 3 months ago:
Going forward? RetroAchievements, Steam, GOG, and LaunchBox to tie it all together. PSN trophy integration to LaunchBox would be cool too, because PS3 stuff is never coming to any of those platforms and I have history there, too.
For historical stuff, that’s in my memory exclusively.
