Police unions are the only bad union.
- Comment on Super Meat Boy 3D Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
This does look a lot more faithful to the gameplay of the original than that weird mobile game they made a couple years ago. I’m sure the move to 3d means the precision won’t be quite as demanding, but hopefully the extra dimension will make up for that with interesting new challenges.

Okay do this for driving a car.
- Comment on Should I just lie on job applications and say I have a college degree? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve already been in the industry, but it’s really not feasible at this time to get decent jobs without degrees I feel… The competition has really increased in the last few years and with AI putting pressure on everyone it’s only gotten worse. I’m pivoting to a field that’s not susceptible to idiots replacing me with a bad machine.

Right but look at the image, there’s a clear difference between the boxers and what looks like normal or jeans shorts. The long pants have similar styling.
- Comment on 7 for me 4 weeks ago:
Why are like half of these wearing full on pants? OP, do you actually sleep in like jeans shorts?

- Comment on Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version 1 month ago:
It’s designed from the ground up as a competitive multiplayer experience. A pve version would be an extremely different game.

Bethesda doesn’t need any more money, spend it on an indie game.

Yeah this is a big reason why I’m not trying to get back into software dev. It seems like every job not already threatened or eliminated by AI is training or using it.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 3 months ago:
I’m a Valve stan but it’s disgusting how they’ve abused and neglected TF2. It would unironically be significantly better if they just rolled back every change since 2016.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 3 months ago:
Yeah you’d think that if you never played before it ruined the entire game.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 3 months ago:
Most players are using casual mode which is terrible. The community servers in TF2 are a pale shadow of what they once were.
- Comment on Valve releases full Team Fortress 2 game code to encourage new, free versions 3 months ago:
Yeah I’ve touched both TF2 Classic and Open Fortress in the past. They’re certainly better than post-2016 TF2, but a) they have very low player-counts, and b) they’re definitely not trying to be vanilla TF2. Each has their own unique vision and balance.
- Comment on Valve releases full Team Fortress 2 game code to encourage new, free versions 3 months ago:
Putting the game out to pasture after years of neglect… Sad that they’ll never restore the actual game to its pre-matchmaking glory days. Hopefully this will result in a proper vanilla experience, but it’s pretty painful that the actual game (which will always attract the most players) is being left to rot like this.

Lmao you know ml just stands for Mali in this case right? Like do you think they’re doing ideological purity testing when you sign up? Do you think my whole instance is CCP agents?

Using language like “disappeared” to refer to detainees just because the Western media can’t conduct interviews with them in prison is textbook propaganda-speak.
- Comment on It really is like this 4 months ago:
This is exactly the propaganda I’m referring to. I’m sure some people are being detained unjustly. I’m also very sure that number, whether per capita or in raw headcount, is a lot lower than in the US.
- Comment on It really is like this 4 months ago:
I’m agreeing with you for the most part, their list of talking points is the propaganda.
- Comment on It really is like this 4 months ago:
What happens? Do you have any evidence of what happens besides your imagination?
- Comment on It really is like this 4 months ago:
This is all some seriously internalized US propaganda.
- Comment on Slicing in for some opinions 4 months ago:
Any cartridge or disposable razor is a scam. Safety or straight razors provide a better shave at a fraction of the yearly cost, for a low initial investment. Straight razors are much more of a learning curve, but safety razors are just a easy to use as a cartridge razor.

90%+ of “status symbols” are scams.
- Comment on EA will shut down the Origin app on April 2025 — company asks users to migrate to the new EA app 4 months ago:
I mean, you still own the games, you just won’t be able to access them through Origin. You have to download a different launcher. I don’t think you really have to do anything else to “migrate”.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 5 months ago:
Classic no-thought throwaway line that dismisses the massive accomplishments already made. Literally, you can go play the game right now and it’s better than Elite Dangerous.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 5 months ago:
Not really, there’s plenty of reviews out there. I just don’t think that someone who found Starfiield to be mid will find Outlaws any better.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 5 months ago:
I love how it gets called “vaporware” when it’s a playable product with more gameplay than many MMOs. I’m also very grateful to the whales for providing the funds to develop the game.

It’s not fun and the writing is bad.
