  Steam, Switch, GOG - I even buy it for my friends!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Killing people is fine but you realize a ton of early hip-hop and West Coast rap was explicitly about not loving the homies, right? Even Superman didn’t get a pass on Rapper’s Delight…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to meet girls at college⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Approach a woman who does want to be approached at the time she wants to be approached without communicating any of that information. Ez. /s

  In seriousness, consider class time as ‘work.’ Don’t bother women at work. Now if you’re in the back of the class and she’s browsing Amazon, maybe she’s not working as much but don’t be creepy and say “I see you’re shopping, talk to me instead,” because, ew, but at least you know next time you’re getting situated you can say “Hey, stupid question, blah blah blah” and test the waters.

  Or, just generally treat women like people. That one always works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s weird but they are all different. I’ve never had an issue where I see an Xbox X and hit the PS X. Normally if a game wants X(PS Flavour) the X itself is blue, potentially with a black circle around it. If a game shows you an X(Xbox Flavour) it shows a blue circle with a different blue X inside. Nintendo generally just shows a top button glyph or if they do show the X it’s usually monochrome, except for Americana flavoured SNES which was just top purple and since GC had the vertical kidney bean X… Well, Nintendo only recently became a problem I suppose.

  So, basically, the in-game glyphs do differentiate themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did play a bunch of BFV but I wouldn’t say I liked it more than 1942. My time spent on BFV was mostly mucking about with friends which was probably the ideal way to play that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  BF3 was certainly really good but maybe I can show my age by saying 1942 and Vietnam were at the very least the start of the plateau, if not the real peak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Count yourself lucky⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty of dudes did both. A furry is the guy who designed pilots cooling systems for their suits…

  Because he made it for a fur suit first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RPGs that are optionally pacifist?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Twin Snakes was an MGS1 remake - MGS2 was never on the GC but Substance was it’s first console release on Xbox to my knowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what timeline is this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I never thought I’d die side by side with an annoying orange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a Russian pls confirm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically, “Shut your dick hole,” correct?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Limited Run has asked Nintendo to pull Gex Trilogy from the eShop as it doesn’t work on Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, a necessary warning about the water at Jerry Garcia’s house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Sad thing to be, nonsensical thing to want to be" 💔🥀💔🥀⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually joke “The Polish in me knows how to drink, the Irish in me doesn’t know how to stop.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I said “I sent a video recording of this a month ago and received confirmation. Do you not have that?” and got back “I never got that.”

  “Alright, got it. Thankfully it’s not my problem anymore but you know where yours is.” and left it at that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon misses the classic design⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stacks nicely in a backpack? You know how much crap goes in a medium ruck? How’s Jenkins gonna find my stash of disk nades under my spare ammo and ‘field stripped’ MREs? No, I need my grenades quick access, on my chest next to the repurposed saw pouch full of rip-its.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazing.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once had a broken headlight and also broke pockets, so I grabbed some packing tape and made a new one. I was at an AutoZone and the guy looked at my car, looked at me and said “that won’t last past the first storm” to which my response was “it’s held up for three months. I’ll take my chances.” and it held up until the seals on the transmission blew out after driving it across the country again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not going to find a weapons maker with an unproblematic background (part of the problem with sourcing arms for your SRA meetup) but IMI certainly has a bad one.

  They’ve also got a number of totally iconic weapons though. Separate the art from the artist and all that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am not a builder… but that does not seem right⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Use stud finder /beep move it two inches /still beep/ move it further /still beep/ move it again /still beep/. “Stud finder must be broken” Get another stud finder /still beep but the whole section again/ “I need to know what’s behind this wall before I just bolt this TV to this fucking thing” /cut away the drywall/ “I better make this look like something stupid for fake Internet points…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the version number! I was just lamenting not being able to find it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  pro-NATO is like how people used to say “Lincoln Republicans” to say “Well, I don’t agree with what the party is doing currently but I will continue to vote for them.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but the app also does remote control / viewing. The transfer is a bonus of being able to quickly do the transfer and text it to someone right away.

  Of course, none of this matters because I don’t have Chrome on my new phone and can’t even create the stupid account if I wanted to.

  Also, can’t find information about which version they rolled that out in and get an older version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steamdeck or....⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone with a primarily physical Switch library and more than 100 Switch games, the Switch cartridges aren’t even satisfying to put in and harder to store or display than consoles of old.

  Even the 3DS just feels easier and more substantial. So, despite the Deck’s lack of a cartridge slot, I don’t even think the Deck really loses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s already ROM hacks for MK64.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But the aliens were humans who came before/after you because humans made a thing that made them destroy the universe so everything is stuck in a time loop where humans have to… Stop other humans from fielding too many stars or else they figure out how to loop the star field again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s terrible. Your English is better than his. Just because there’s some sliver of sense doesn’t mean he even did it on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Commas can be used to identify parts of the sentence that can be cut out e.g. “… wisdom to cut your taxes in half … If Canada becomes the 51st state.”

  Now, here, the comma was used for a list so it shouldn’t have been used that way but I’m sure his meth head brain probably got lost partway or the AI bot that mimics his speech patterns is just that dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the only thing I remember about Reach is the last mission anyway but thanks for the heads up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  John Halo and the Marines are Marines and not Soldiers. Though, I’m not certain Halo ever shows a non-Navy Servicemember in 1-4.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Academic email signatures⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That fact that you mention Three Houses make me think you mention that because you wanna bang your students.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ben Shapiro's sister⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is terrifying to link to after what you just said

  But they are great boobs and that’s what’s important. I do this not for me, but for us all.

  Yeah, first part of any fresh Fox setup is changing the default search engine.
