• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need a new Amazon⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I’ve been enjoying going to stores in person again. It definitely takes some getting used to after the convenience of online shopping has been a part of my life pretty much since I was in highschool , but I think the change is worth it. I’ll just make a list of things that I need and when the list gets big enough I just make a day of it and just go to a bunch of different stores.

  I kinda forgot how satisfying it can be to actually go shopping. I got a couple new pillows and some new bed sheet sets last month and it was so nice being able to feel what I was buying before I actually got it. If I’d gotten the pillows from Amazon I guarantee I’d get something cheap and not find out until they show up that they are awful. And I probably wouldn’t return them and just internalize it and convince myself they were better than my old pillows because they are “new.”

  Except the photo they have of him with his face visible isn’t even the same guy. Doesn’t even have the same clothes or backpack. So unless this dude is proficient at changing his clothes and ditching a backpack all while riding an electric scooter down the street in New York, then they have the wrong guy in that photo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like I said, making exceptions is always a bad idea. It’s how these fuck heads even get away with it. But at the same time I can’t agree with exceptions even if I agree with the reason behind it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s kinda my point. The system is fucked beyond repair specifically because these people running the companies get exceptions. These people have basically let thousands of people die for the sake of money. So like I said before, murder is murder and should be treated as such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If he gets caught, then I’d say yes. Murder should be treated as murder regardless of what the reason is. Making exceptions is never a good idea.

  I just hope he doesn’t get caught.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's right!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you even find stuff like that? Because I’ve definitely thought of giving that a try ngl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's right!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro, I’m trying. I work all the time and online dating sucks butt. I think I’ve been on every dating app there is at least twice over the past 7 years with zero success. Like, I know I’m an introvert but it shouldn’t be that hard. Especially when everyone and their mom tells me how great of a dude I am.

  I think my problem is that I’m just not built for online dating. My last girlfriend and I met through fucking Reddit of all places… They should make a dating app for introverts where there are no pictures until you match with someone. Because I’m sure I’m not the only introvert that cannot for the life them take a good picture of themselves.

  I feel like they’re doing this because they are going so hard with steam deck. Regardless, good on Valve for doing this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pee posting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how they censor the “C” in dick so it’s just “DIK”

  I found that funnier than the whole rest of it lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Every time a big company lays people off I always try to remember that it’s not because they aren’t making enough money as a company. It’s because the “important” people want more money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is sick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry but I’m not missing rent, going further into debt, or becoming homeless because I’m sick. My landlord doesn’t give a shit if I’m sick and neither does the electric company or my car insurance company. I wanna be a decent person and not get other people sick, but I’m not gonna risk losing everything because I can’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is sick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone that has to go into work sick all the time, God I wish sick pay was required. I wanna be a decent person and try not to get people sick. But at the same time I live paycheck to paycheck and if I miss too much work oops now I’m fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is sick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You wanna know what makes that other guy a Chad? The fact that he doesn’t need to focus on who cares about him when he’s sick. Pity parties are a huge turn off for the majority of people. I think it’s a subconscious reaction that most people have regardless of who the other person is. Unless you are already close to someone, whether family or a close friend, you shouldn’t expect them to feel bad for you. I wouldn’t expect the clerk at a gas station to feel bad for me if I came in late to pick up some NyQuil. But we’ll definitely shoot the shit about how being sick fucking blows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five flavors 🤤⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Five Finger Death Punch is as close as you can possibly get to pop music without leaving the genre of metal completely. I don’t judge people if it’s their jam, I just think they are extremely mediocre at best. It’s no coincidence that the majority of their most popular songs are covers.

  But hey, people like what they like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Altered the timeline⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did… Did they get the job? I kinda hope they did. Being overly excited can fuck you over sometimes. Like a weird yell could even fuck you over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But also with GOG you can download the installers and play offline. It’s literally one of their big selling points. It’s less convenient than things like steam, but you can do whatever the hell you want when you buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Until they start charging only money for the battle passes. I never even used 80% of the skins I got on the battle passes anyway. I just wanted them so I didn’t not have them. As someone that has over 2,000 hours in Apex, I’m so glad I jumped ship. The grass was very green on the other side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do I sweat so much more on leg day at the gym?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not an expert, but I’d say it’s because your legs are basically half your body. Not only that but most leg exercises require the use of other muscles. Like, if you’re squatting with weights you are using pretty much every major muscle group in your body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I cannot tell you how much better my mental health has been since I stopped playing Apex Legends, Overwatch, and Rocket League. I never had anything against the gameplay of these games but the microtransactions and battle passes were just straight up toxic. After a couple weeks you simply don’t give a shit anymore and it’s amazing. I see my roommate playing these games until 3 AM every day because he has to do his daily challenges for 4 different games. He’ll be so pissed off that he can barely speak as he powers through game after game to get them done so he can go to bed. And in hindsight, that’s probably what I used to look like back when I played those games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loses weight⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I was used to kilos but my American brain was trained on stupid freedom units and I hate it. I’m trying to get better at it, though. The hardest one for me is Celsius and fahrenheit because fahrenheit is so bad it’s hard to convert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loses weight⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Losing weight is not an easy thing to do if you’ve been overweight most of your life. You literally have to fundamentally change everything about your life just to get it done. And it’s a slow process and a commitment that you have to stick to for months or even years. It can really fuck with your motivation when the progress is so slow you could go months and only lose like 10 pounds. I only went from 250 to about 150 but it was one of the hardest things I’ve done and I’ve quit smoking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Until Dawn's PS5 debut 28% weaker than Sony’s 2024 disaster Concord⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve already played the game once. I’ll wait for it to go on sale if I wanna play a “remaster.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same with No Man’s Sky. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but they buckled down and delivered on almost every promise that they failed on back at release. Not only that but every update since the game came out has been for free. Both No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk are fantastic games, and they were garbage on release. Bethesda has been doing the opposite approach and avoiding feedback from fans since Skyrim came out the first time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney Layoffs Underway: Hundreds Of Corporate Staffers Impacted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just remember that every time you see this, someone has to go home and tell their family that they don’t have a job anymore. Or someone has to explain to their landlord why rent will be late. These aren’t just statistics, they’re people.

  And remember that every time this happens, it’s literally just to save more money for the “important people” and shareholders. And I guarantee we will see a price bump in Disney services before the end of the year for the exact same reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modders negate God of War Ragnarök PSN requirement after a brief review bombing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you didn’t put PSN on a single player game you wouldn’t have this happen. I was gonna buy it day one until I heard. Instead, I’m just focusing on my backlog that’s been piling up and I’ll just get it when it’s on sale

  Also remember that PSN isn’t available in all countries. So if you’re in one of those 100+ countries you can’t even play it if you buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays Persona 5⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I highly recommend the game, but I totally get you. I didn’t buy it for years for the exact same reason. Eventually it was on a good sale when I was between games so I got a chance to play it. If you’re an anime fan you will probably love the game. And if you’re not, it may be cringy as fuck on occasion but you’ll probably still love the game after getting sucked in. But if you end up never playing it, that’s totally fine too. I’ve found in life that you don’t need to watch every movie and play every video that are highly praised. I still haven’t played the Mass Effect games even after owning all of them for 5 or so years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you like this genre this game is at the very top. I played Harvest Moon back in the day and this game surpasses it in almost every way. Plus, it’s $20 and goes on sale for less than that very frequently, sometimes as low as $5. It’s not like you’re losing much if you pick it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what game you’re playing because I’ve never run into this issue before. I’ve played through year 4 on several different farms and never encountered anything of this magnitude. I’ve been playing this game since day one and have had nothing but positive experiences and so has pretty much everyone else. If minor adjustments to gameplay are enough to classify a game as being in perpetual Early Access, then every single game that is being made today is in perpetual Early Access. In fact in most games you don’t even get the new content with the updates. Also, the game costs $20 it’s not like you’re spending over $100 for the Premium Deluxe Edition Game of the Year Season Pass Preorder Bundle. It’s $20 and goes on sale so frequently you could pick it up for $5 four or five times a year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley 1.6 is Coming November 4th.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro, the man’s basically releasing free dlc not updating an early access game. The game was never in early access and all your saves are compatible with the new expansions (I sometimes still play the same farm I’ve had since the game was first released). The game already has more content than any other game in the genre and ConcernedApe is still releasing all updates for free and promised to never charge for anything new added to the game. What is there to complain about when you’re getting free shit where in most games it costs $5 to $10?
