You joke but I do look at the fancy stuff from time to time… So it’s not like my approach is immune to the corrupting influences of consumerism 🙈 haha

My condolences

This is why I try to stick with “hobbies” that only use things I already have access to, like pencils & paper, computer & internet, the outdoors, my own body, etc

Depends if you’re in a big numbers game or not. If your heavy hitting attack is doing 32 damage to the final boss, you’re not really going to feel that 1%
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 1 week ago:
it’s totally subjective
Yet we agree that there is such a thing as one movie being better than another
I mean I wouldn’t say that, it’s kind of the opposite of what I was saying actually. But if reviews form a kind of aggregate metric you find useful then that’s good for you.
Elsewhere I even talked about how frequently I disagreed with Siskel and Ebert’s thumbs ups/downs, but the text of their reviews at least showed me I would love a movie they thought was bad.

I’m on it 🫡
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 2 weeks ago:
Actually reminded me of Ebert’s review of The One. He roasted it while accurately predicting that a basic person like me would love it.
If you just saw 1.5/5 you’d think wow what a stinker and miss out on this incredible brainless vibe piece sitting at the border of 90-00 dripping in pre-cringe cool, just before everything would get way too gritty and serious.
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 2 weeks ago:
I was specifically thinking about Siskel and Ebert while reading this post yeah. I actually loved their reviews.
Funnily enough I very frequently disagreed with their opinions, but between the two of them they explained so well what made the movie appealing or not, that I was able to make up my own mind based on the text of the review even if the “rating” was not one I agreed with.
And then of course the more you read a reviewer and get to know where your opinions line up and where they differ, the more useful their reviews become. Same thing with IRL friends ofc.

Yeah fedi needs a letterboxd. I kind of wonder if bookwyrm would be a good inspo for it.
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah these ratings are worse than useless. Oh The Abyss 14% better than Amelia?? Fuck off, Poindexter.
They’re completely disconnected from my own opinions and when I see then before watching a movie they just distract me by wondering what tf other were watching.
You can’t map.reduce this shit, it’s totally subjective

Haha thank you for trying, I guess I was more looking for live opinions rather than a definition. I think I’ve just got an out of date one.
- Comment on "Censorship" ☠️ 2 weeks ago:
Okay so maybe a dumb question, but is lolicon a sexual thing? I know that hentai exists obviously and there’s of course overlap, but I always took loli to mean the “cute” anime kids, like that Anubis kid that blocks bot traffic.
- Comment on protestation (advertisement sucks) 2 weeks ago:
I actually like that the graffiti in this is just a simple tag rather than a full mural or a more complicated piece that conforms to our conception of “art.”
I would argue that it’s just barely stepping out of the ideology of who is allowed to express themselves in public to condone only “good” graffiti.
The real liberation is imho letting even “bad” artists express themselves, even if all they’re saying is “I was here.”
- Comment on protestation (advertisement sucks) 2 weeks ago:
I do, and I’m incredibly disappointed when passing a railyard without visible graffiti
- Comment on protestation (advertisement sucks) 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’ve had almost exactly the same evolution except I’ve added a fourth point
- the sloppiest graffiti is better than the classiest ad
I don’t have to like every tag, but I basically appreciate them all. I’m just happy to see actual people expressing themselves in my spaces instead of just brands. Unless we’re talking about a hateful symbol I don’t even mind someone from just writing “skeazy” on a mailbox in one swipe. Thanks for giving me a break from the ads, Skeazy.

I didn’t even think about taking the title seriously but now that you say it, it does sound ridiculous. I wonder if it’s bait for people to come in explain causation (serious) to drum up engagement, or if it’s actually just dumb.

You are blowing my mind right now… And I’ve actually installed a toilet.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure, maybe it seems more hygienic?
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I mean that sounds about right but then I’m sure bladder sizes vary
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes on hot days I’ll just go into a bathroom and give it a good swipe, just to clear the ass sweat out.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
Same. It’s so obvious once you do it.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I like to read a paragraph or two so I take any chance I can get to sit down and read the ol bathroom book
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I have actually found that the American ones are filled way too high with water. Like mostly full it’s crazy.
So while I’m not a big guy myself I’ve had a couple really unwelcome dips while sitting down on what are, imho, overfilled bowls.
What I usually do is take a bit of toilet paper and sort of use my hand to park the kit under my butt cheek.
I dunno, I feel like there should be a class for this because now I wonder if I’m doing it wrong.

- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 3 weeks ago:
I do think it’s easier to hold devs accountable than regular customers, just because of the stakes involved. Like it’s not totally trivial to get approved to sell on steam.
But I still think having appropriate customer service staffing levels for such a wildly profitable platform is not unreasonable.

So I don’t think you realize this but imo in many cases this would make a game worse.
Like if a dev has about a 1 hour game and they don’t lie and they price it with what they think is fair and people who play it enjoy it, then at the very least the people who brag in reviews about finishing a game and liking it, should have their refund denied or overturned
