- Comment on I see you 5 days ago:
I had a boss who turned off read receipts and one time didn’t get my text to which she said “why didn’t you resend it?” and my reply was “because I didn’t know you didn’t get it.”
- Comment on Hard Out There For A Woman 5 days ago:
I was going to make a smart comment, something along the lines of “By birth or by nationalization?” but the more I thought about what would make a person “Mexican” the more I thought about how silly a concept most things are and how I’m willing to bet there’s probably a Chinese-Swede somewhere writing a novela.
- Comment on Why so many Steam games have weirdly similar (and forgettable) names 6 days ago:
Wild Hearts and Sayonara Wild Hearts are not in the same series. Tales of Zau is not a part of the Tales of Series. Just look at how many games are Z something or something Z.
Why bother with reinventing the title wheel when you can just hope that you’ll have a subset of buyers that purchase expecting a different level of quality?
- Comment on Time for battle fam... 1 week ago:
It’s a Ukrainian War meme, along with cope cages and the like - basically they put ERA on everything and anything.
In this case, the anime girl takes umbrage with that.
- Comment on For Warhorse's 15th birthday, we chatted with its co-founder about the demand for 'grown-up' RPGs, AI, why games are too cheap, and his role in the collapse of communism 1 week ago:
Klima hopes prices go up, Yacht Club Games puts out $20 games.
- Comment on The right kind of vibe 1 week ago:
It was an expensive synth keyboard back in the '80s though.
- Comment on tag yourself 3 weeks ago:
I’m a whole piece of sheet music.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 weeks ago:
Everything in moderation, including moderation. You’ve got to choose what you’re radical about, lest it choose you.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 4 weeks ago:
I’m going to go to a rifle range and harass people that don’t know how to shoot.

- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 4 weeks ago:
So, while the little RTX 5060 can churn out a 258 fps result in NBA 2K27 at 1080p Ultra settings with ray tracing and DLSS 5 enabled, the game underneath will actually be running at around 43 fps.
Lol. Nvidia with the toilet paper math. “You’re only getting 6 frames but it’s actually 11 billion frames.”
Like, I’m playing Bully. Render the locked 30, barely consume any power and shut up. “Run your computer at full tilt all the time so your games can run like shit!” I cannot stand any frame gen. Makes games look like static.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 4 weeks ago:
The Spanish is a bit easier since it literally translates to “Zone Free of…” followed by a list of things it’s a zone free from but I agree, since a “drug free zone” and a “gun free zone” mean that there is, ideally according to the sign, no drugs or guns but a “weapons free zone” would mean you’re free to shoot combatants on sight, whereas a “weapon free zone” would mean an area without weapons.

UGR-A baby!
- Comment on Don't Worry About Retirement, Millennials 5 weeks ago:
I doubt they would ever need to draft up to 42 based on the US population and the willingness of psychos to want to a) kill people or b) get paid to kill people via promises of a better life later as a veteran (Baby killer)
They need a draft once all those Action Hero wannabes get swatted down by Iranian drones and the Canadian troops start rolling in to annex the southern province.
Who knew Fallout would be right about the annexation but wrong about which way it went?
- Comment on A reminder 5 weeks ago:
Well, I’M okay. I’m at least four bad months away from homeless so no sense planning to change the system any.
- Comment on This drip coffee is now $5 dollars, up from $2.50 3 years ago 5 weeks ago:
I try to reduce my coffee/caffeine consumption but if I get a coffee at a diner, you’d better believe I’m slamming five or more.
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 1 month ago:
Once survival has gone on for some time (depends on the person), you’re going to start making a few ‘comfort’ decisions. Granted, I wouldn’t go raid a CVS for razors but if I found a pair of scissors I might start doing a trim.
Also, hate the feeling of greasy hair, so I’m quick to cut it off or rub dirt all over it if I can’t take care of it.
- Comment on Date artsy girl 1 month ago:
I’m also a Lynch fan. The only time I really watch his movies is when I have a bad fever. I was sweating through my couch, dying to sip water and binging Twin Peaks. It’s really the only way to watch, I have to say.
Maybe psychedelics? That might be good too.
- Comment on Whew, I better take a break 1 month ago:
The only time I lay down in VR is Superhot VR, and that’s never relaxing.
- Comment on business is business 1 month ago:
5km/h is on the low end of the “average” walking speed but waiting at intersections and lights will murder that speed. You could easily be on the upper end of six and then have to wait 5+ minutes at an intersection, bringing you back below a 5.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 month ago:
Ah, yes, illegal immigrants with their high paying jobs buying up all the houses. Even assuming rent goes down when you remove tenants from an area (supply and demand, because how do you convince people to move into the path of the brown shirts) the question is about HOME prices. Rents are impacted by home prices, yes, but after the cost of permitting and materials, it’s ‘cheaper’ to build a second floor and raise the price by $200k than it is to build affordable homes - meanwhile the cost of smaller homes has exploded because venture capital buys them up for rentals.
If that study had any legs, or you any confidence in it, you would’ve linked it in the first place.
- Comment on Don't Call Me. Ever. 1 month ago:
I got a buddy who texts me “Give me a call when you get a chance”
Always allows me to finish up my work and call them when the time suits me.
Meanwhile, coworkers just call me a minute before I’m supposed to go into a meeting and expect to have my attention for a half hour. It’s on the calendar you dipshit.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 1 month ago:
Gatorade bottle? The mouth on that is huge and the plastic too thick - use a cheap water bottle and spike a hole in the cap with a screw driver. Gotta get that precision steam to blast away the sand fleas trying to crawl around.
- Comment on Police HATE this one weird trick 1 month ago:
New Hampshire is usually ten years behind on trends but that would put this car in 2016 instead so still kind of bigoted…
Then again, it’s New Hampshire…
- Comment on Police HATE this one weird trick 1 month ago:
Shit, why argue? I’m a criminal. I knew it was wrong and I did it anyway.
- Comment on Are you too young to remember these? 1 month ago:
I had RF adapters for my NES…
I had to get a new TV since my old one had the two screw posts that the Atari hooked up to.
- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 2 months ago:
Found a PS5 slim at a cashies for $350USD with an exploitable firmware, so it looks like I’ll be able to play GTA VI without giving either a dime!
I mean, probably more sane to just wait for the PC release but there’s also the fun of jailbreaking the consoles.
- Comment on What's the rarest Steam achievement you got? 2 months ago:
Rarest is some challenge from the Hunter game that I guess no one else played.
Third rarest is the “Harder” challenge from SuperHot VR.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Like, part of me is curious what your rate is now but I’m not actually planning a commission so is that, like, rude to ask?
I was trying to find a translation for a PSP game and couldn’t find any online but I had no idea how much one might cost to commission but I guess a single game would be cheaper than a whole series…
- Comment on The Ultimate Robot Knockout Legend (URKL) is a professional, freestyle combat sports league for full-sized humanoid robots. This is real. 2 months ago:
They learned from Mortal Combat to spam their best move.
Turns out it’s a mirror battle.
