no I don’t. I said nothing about what skepticism is.
- Comment on Captain Disillusion: SNL VFX Mystery 1 day ago:
I’m very skeptical of “skeptical materials”. most of that shit went on to a misogynistic, transphobic and xenophobic route.

even so they both were extremely well received

I just don’t understand how people accept smelling like absolute shit all day. idk if they think they stop smelling the moment they litter the street with their cigarette butts but that shit stays on you for the rest of the day and when you walk around you smell how an ashtray must taste. disgusting.

on aversge, how many "nein"s do you hear from non-germans per day?

sorry but Luigi Mangione sounds like a name a token Italian character would have in harry potter. idk how prejudiced it is to assume this is an italian name.

depose also means removing someone from their position, so that is more appropriate for the bullet.

AI to determine people’s livelihoods, huh?
By the way, who’s the Brandshield CEO? Asking for a friend.
- Comment on Stat of the day 2 weeks ago:
native speakers make spelling errors more often than non native speakers because they learn to speak the language way before learning to spell, which means homophones can easily register as the same word in your mind for years before you even encounter the words in writing. having to unlearn things is usually harder than just learning it in the first place.

except you didn’t buy all your games from blizzard. we’re talking about having your entire library depend on one company.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
I’m talking user experience. egs used to be the slowest app I’ve ever used but right now egs starts and works faster for me than gog. also its video player works faster than steam’s, by like a mile. I don’t know if it’s just me because I never hear anyone complain about steam’s video player but for me it’s so goddamn terrible in so many ways I want to punch a wall every time I’m curious about a game while browsing steam because the video just takes fucking ages to get going and the controls are horrendous. I end up just searching on YouTube.

gog doesn’t have regional pricing and their launcher at this point is worse than epic’s. as an old fuck I like having old games back but it’s not convenient at all.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
funny you never hear about games being ONLY on steam. it has nice features but riding so hard for a gigantic monopoly is going to bite our asses real bad when gaben retires. nothing lasts forever, and we don’t know who or what will replace the current structure at valve.
not to mention valve has had its share of anti consumer and predatory practices. most of the concessions have been in response to legal threats.

it could take 5 minutes, sure, but it’s still 5 minutes of work and that’s not why we signed up for the job. so unless you give me the exact minute the bike was stolen we can’t help you. if you do, we probably still won’t help you. call us if you have some dark-skinned people to shoot, but otherwise stop bothering us.

- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM 3 weeks ago:
yeah… for me I was willing to give black flag a chance to see if they would find a way to make a new series, maybe with a new current day plot, but nah. people seem to dislike the current day portion of those games but to me that was the main interest, along with the mythology…
black flag’s current day portion was so goddamn awful, they turned abstergo into a parody of ubisoft? I don’t even know what they were thinking… but it was so immersion breaking. completely killed my interest.
pirate stuff was fun, and it still had a nice plot twist near the beginning… but it was clear that the overall story was going nowhere so I just quit playing after that and decided that the series ended with 3.

it ended in 3, they’ve been treading water ever since.

yeah I think they’re kinda cool from a distance but “what if rats could fucking fly” can’t be that fun up close.
- Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve definitely read it before; I don’t remember what series but it was highly probably the rebooted X-Men series (that largely became what the 90s cartoon was based on)…
But don’t ask me about recent canon. What’s “canon” is always shaky because the series has been running forever so anything and everything has been canon and retconned at some point. To me, Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch are Magneto’s children, Rogue has Ms Marvel powers, and there are 151 Pokemon. I’m old.
