If you lack any self-worth and identity on your own, you will derive it from hating others.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 12 hours ago:
I’m watching things in 4K and playing in 1080p. It’s exactly four times the pixels, so it’s pixel-perfect scaling and it looks fine. (58" TV and the sofa is about 3 metres far, so a bit on the smallish side. I’m sure a 65" would look just as good.)

Very true, but 2009 Wolfenstein isn’t underrated. It’s exactly correctly-rated.

Rh, I deal with a few British people on a daily basis. Still relevant.
- Comment on jealousy 7 months ago:
My teeth emphatically didn’t look like that at 21. More like someone used a shotgun to implant them to my mouth. I could be from Britain for all I care.

This could be any game, and anyway, does this sub get so much traffic it’s a problem?

- Comment on Technically Correct 8 months ago:
That’s why you want a national health care program funded by taxes (they call it health insurance, but it’s mandatory and based on income, so it’s a tax, really). Private insurance is still allowed, but everyone gets a baseline.
Sure, this system has got its share of problems, and they’re massive, but if you need care, you generally receive it regardless of your financial situation. Again, bureaucracy happens and there are waiting times etc. etc., but the idea that you may lose everything because you got sick is so alien to me I have no words.

It shouldn’t exist? I’d like to see you pay for your medical expenses out of pocket.
P. S. No, I am not American.

Actually, by its original definition, the word “cromulent” is not cromulent.
