- Comment on GOG Summer Sale is here! 1 day ago:
Just context for people since I had to look it up myself.
Neither statement actually says Nazi or Faccism is wrong. Literally the one thing that would help them right now, and twice they failed to do it. The GoG forums are full of folks saying this has been a known problem for years that hate speech was not being moderated.
Sooooo, yeah. It’s pretty disappointing. Not sending it to Germany (where it is illegal and punishable) but then okaying its use for rest of the world is a WILD explanation. I’m sure af not going to buy GoG anymore.

I’ve never really played any GW games, but a honest to goodness new MMO from a experienced studio is exciting! For so long the genre have been awash with kickstarter scams like Ashes of Creation or multiple Ultimas, it’s encouraging to have some hope.
- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 2 weeks ago:
True. I’m not saying he should never be able to move on, these happened when he was a literal child. Just making sure everyone is on the same page because *he beat someone up" isn’t the full story.

It’s a lot more than just beating someone up. Mark has committed numerous hate crimes.

If you still have it, my wife would be delighted to see Heroes of Hammerwatch II. We played the poop out of the first one but forget the 2nd existed. If not no worries, thanks for doing this regardless! <3
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 3 weeks ago:
Complaining about someone using a seat as designed feels entitled to me. Sorry. I’ve always so confused how some people consider it encroaching. Sure it’s all shared space, but that means you are sharing it with others. Reclining inherently uses that chairs fair space.

- Comment on Ex-Alex Jones employee reflects on job at Infowars: ‘It was nonsense. It was lies’ 2 months ago:
Owens told NPR that leaving Infowars wasn’t easy because his sense was that it was “kind of black mark” on his résumé that he worked for Jones. He said Jones himself would boast to his employees: “You cannot exist in the world outside … here because you are connected to me.”
Justifiably so, willingness to tell what you know as outright bigoted lies for a paycheck makes you categorically untrustworthy. So he stayed on, knowingly causing more harm because we all need to pay rent.
Remember y’all, capitalism breeds innovation. It would be SO much worse if his material conditions such as food and house were guaranteed. No lazy free loaders here, just innovators innovating propaganda.

I always assumed Waffle House was never really a destination, but somewhere you end up hungover from your actual destination?
Are there crazy people who actually go there just to go!?
- Comment on How does genital nomenclature change as a person transitions? 3 months ago:
Well the answer is a deceptively simple “it all depends on the person”. The line for when it crosses over into dysphoria isn’t a universal one. Really the only way you would know if you upset him is if he told you. So if he hasn’t ever said anything to this effect, don’t overthink it. It’s a common idiom.
The good rule of thumb is “would I be making a genitals comment to a cis person in this same situation?”. Lots of guys will make dick jokes, but how often do those same guys ask each other the medical history of their junk? Not often I’d imagine, and the times that would happen would be for a specific reason.
Might be safe to err on not making references to the genitals they were born with, but everyone different. As a trans woman I will happily use my vestigial teeny tiny penis as a punchline if I know I am among friends. I’d just never presume to make that joke about another trans woman.

… what?
Make a dish twice, once without the bay leaf. There is an obvious difference. It’s fine to not like the taste of any particular spice but saying there is none is sort of crazy?
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 3 months ago:
Will Smith is a perfectly fine action hero, romantic and comedic star. But I struggle to see him pull something that nuanced off. Has he ever been a villain?
Started skimming wiki out of curiosity. Suicide Squad very technically? I am legend makes the best case for it, but even that is played very hero.

I enjoy Kevin Smith story time far more than his movies.

- Comment on Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion? 4 months ago:
So I’m going to come at this from a different perspective because I’ve put a lot of thought in to this topic in other ways. I’m vegan, meaning I do not buy, consume or use any animal products, which obviously includes leather or fur. However since I am not financially supporting those industries by paying for those products and the perpetuation of animal abuse practices, I consider it moral for me to buy those items 2nd hand.
However I do not, for two big reasons:
- Ew. It’s literally skin. That’s so gross. I don’t want to touch leather, let alone wear it.
- The perception of those viewing me, I don’t want to be seen as a person that pays for fur and leather. Wearing an item is tacit endorsement of the item to everyone who views you, strangers included.
So to bring it back around, yes you can thrift fast fashion ethically. So long as you understand that anyone who recognize it as fast fashion, will reasonably think you buy fast fashion and support the industry. Up to you if that’s something you are comfortable with it.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 4 months ago:
I firmly believe the only reason this game is “beloved” is the same reason that iPhones sell just because of the logo of the company that made them.
It’s more nostalgia than branding. I’ll entirely agree that half life hasn’t aged great, but what’s important is the historical context. The games were groundbreaking for the time, especially HL2 with its physics engine and gravity gun. I remember playing it just days after release then being shocked and amazed at those different systems. There just weren’t many games with that level of polish tackling such a wide scope.
Just like with watershed TV/movie/music, it seems quaint and overhyped as their innovations become the norm.

Zero disagreement with any of that. It’s a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.

- Comment on Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month 5 months ago:
This is one of those situations where you’re correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don’t regularly play games or can’t afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 5 months ago:
Yup, you’re entirely correct, Obsidian is often and loudly praised, they deserve it. But also…
… they deserve a lil more… always a lil’ more!
(I’m just being silly and dum. I have just recently started their games and just wanted to sing their praises myself. Don’t mind me, just a lil fan girling out about great world building. 🥹)
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 5 months ago:
Obsidian as a studio is super underrated. Both pillars of eternity has amazing worldbuilding and narrative. They aren’t unknown or anything, but gotdang they are some of the most creative devs out there!
- Comment on Why We're Boycotting Xbox (and Maybe You Should Too) - People Make Games 5 months ago:
Xbox itself, sure. But this boycott is for the larger war crimes that Microsoft is abetting via surveillance, storage and AI informed bombing in palestine. The corporation itself isn’t rotting, but a thriving pumpkin patch.
So much so that nearly all businesses and much government run and rely on Windows. Which is why Xbox in particular is being targeted. It’s a strictly consumer product that is not strictly nessecary with substitutions available.
