Finicial authority beats moral everytime.
- Comment on Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account 1 week ago:
Nah, this is one more landmark on the eventual enshitifcation of every platform. This is only happening because as company that is publicly traded, so someone at Reddit HQ realized that they could make more money off new french users than the cost of ads. So then they have a feduciary duty to do exactly that. Just like the reddit API-ocalypse, the finicial benefits data from every redditors mobile by being forced to use the offical app was determined to be more profitable than those that left.
Yay capitlism! Either Lemmy dies or it grows enough to do the same eventually.
- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 3 weeks ago:
I never gave HER a dime but it was the platform I met my eventual wife on. However unless you’re looking to meet other ladies, it’s probably not the app for you.
- Comment on ‘There Isn’t Much Sway Held by Past Success’: Baldur’s Gate 3 actors reveal it hasn’t boosted their careers 3 weeks ago:
That’s honestly heart breaking, all three gave exceptional performances. I hope in time people will understand the artistic merit in both voice acting and video games as a medium, but these people deserved to skyrocket into their own franchises.
- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 3 weeks ago:
Sorry I want the world to be objectively a better place.
You’re reducing racism and bigotry to an unmuteable fact of their biology. If someone like MTG or Matt Gaetz did a 180 and started showing up at protests talking about the inner workings they was privy in the white house, introducing bills to protect trans folk and correctly identifying the genocide in gaza. Would they still be ugly?
If not, then it’s not an objective fact about their body, but their choices and opinions. If they are still ugly, then I guess their choices were born with their inherent “uglyness” and they no longer have responsibility for their choices.
At best, this idea white washes personal responsibility, at worst it’s a further divide that keeps MAGA fucks from listening to objective reality.
- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 3 weeks ago:
You sound like a evangelical preacher yelling about “physically evil” minorities. Mark of Cain turning people black as sign of their “taint”, queer and trans folk not following gender norms looking “ridiculous” or why feminist are always “ugly women who are jealous”. This sort of rhetoric has long been used to justify all flavors of bigotry.
You believe what ya like. Obviously I can’t stop you, but there are better arguments to make and better uses of your energy.
- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 3 weeks ago:
I’m thankful that I can see the enemy for what they are.
You literally can not. You’re just classing up ableism under the cover of resistance. These people provide more than enough reasons to hate and distrust themselves, you don’t have to pretend it’s physical defects. In fact, presenting this weak argument just makes them less likely for their supporters to be reached.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 4 weeks ago:
A lot of folks are listing their favorite games but this is the one that truly fits. Unusually long development time by a studio known for DnD-simmiliar RPG games getting the next installation for the series that defined the genre. Cast voice actors for several years, ones that are still playing their characters on a variety of platforms. And just chock filled references, in-jokes, and faithful updates on old characters.
Everyone involved with it clearly loved what they were doing.

WARNING : Playing excellent, well told, thought provoking puzzle games about AI will make you so much madder about the silly folk the “turned AI sentient” folk.
Great game, solid sequel too.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 4 weeks ago:
Oooh I was thinking of grabbing Steins. I know I watched the anime several years ago and enjoyed it, but only have hazy recollections of the plot. Doing the VN seems just enough same, just enough different to be fun.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 4 weeks ago:
Just finished Tyranny and Pilliars of eternity so I’m picking up the sequel Deadfire. Checked out the price history last week and seems like it’s regularly 75% off during seasonal sales so I’m pleased to see it at $10.

Attack the arguments, not the person.
I mean… Piratesoftware certainly went after the person.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Oh yes, without a doubt. What truly matters is equal power dynamics, I’d just generally speaking saying most 30s have a few relationships under their belt, know who they are and what they want.
But even that can go yuck sooooo quick. Like with a 30 and 80 year old, clearly one side has a fetish.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Once you hit 30 the age gap stops being creepy and becomes a personal life choice. If you were 41 and she was 20, that would be a massive red flag. But she isn’t a young adult anymore, but presumably someone established in who they are and what they want.
If what she wants is you, congrats!
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 month ago:
Bastion and Transistor, sure. Without a doubt, imoactful clever stories that were well delivered.
Pyre always felt like a buggy mess tho. I tried multiple times to get into it but it’s just not on the level of the first two.

Potionomics!
Fantastic story, voice acting and mechanics. It’s such an odd mix of deck building, crafting and VN romance. Yet it delivered on all fronts with a solid character writing that kept surprising me.
- Comment on What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen? 2 months ago:
Without a doubt my favorite episode and #2 is so distant I don’t even know what it would be. Such a beautifully crafted train wreck of audacity, naivety and avoidable tragedy.
I understand why people skip it, but those are the exact reason I love iy.

- Comment on Anon is worried about men 3 months ago:
It’s not survivor bias when others commit suicide. This isn’t arbitrary luck selecting some to have good lives, that’s just doomerism, self loathing and anexity talking.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 3 months ago:
You didn’t get bugs on your windshield so now you’re be forever alone? You’re just catastrophizing. This is literally just baby stepping from a silly premise to a wild conclusion.
Look, calling yourself undateable is always a self fulfilling prophecy. You have to know on some level that it’s still possible if you put in the effort right? There are TONS of childless single women out there.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 3 months ago:
Quit your doomin’. This isn’t complicated. Parties aren’t like they are in movies, it’s literally just getting drunk on a couch. Don’t let the social anexity win. Just invite everyone you know to yours and tell them to invite who they know. As long as you meet someone new then your circle is growing. Friends of friends exist.
I literally had one friend like 7 years ago until I moved in with a barely functional alcoholic I knew from playing magic. He was an asshole with creepy friends, but those friends were dominos that led me to a few bad relationship, and eventually my wife.
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 3 months ago:
Chevy Chase as Pierce on Community.
It’s debatably a perfect casting because the charcter is a rich, arrogant, racist, sexist out of touch ass… and so is Chevy. He did excellent in the role and was hilarious more often than not. But because he is such a PoS who wasn’t really acting, the cast, writers and crew all hated working with him and then he became a very clear burden on the entire show. Resulting in him being semi killed off, but kept appearing in convulated ways? It would’ve been better for everyone if he was recast right from the start.
