- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 3 days ago:
Can’t wait for Fallout 5: Skyrim Crossover Edition.
Turns out Heimskr was working with the Thalmor the whole time and after Ulfric captured Hoover Dam, the Khajit Commonwealth just said “fuck it” and nuked everyone.
Well, it was skooma spiked with Nuka Cola.
The Radskeevers are everywhere and are a pain to kill.

Oh it is straight up necromancy and Black Ops might be necrophilia.

Halo Black Ops

“worst thing to happen to ed Sheeran fans since their head injury”
The sketch of Harry and Meghan moving back to the UK is good also.
- Comment on Article: Meshtastic vs MeshCore: I Run Both, Here's the Honest Truth (2026) 3 weeks ago:
Some parts of it feel like they used speech to text and didn’t bother to edit it. Also,that they were just speaking off the cuff.
There are plenty of spots where there should be conjunctions or even connecting clauses. Instead, just awkward commas.

I never understood why they nailed Jesus to a cross until I watched tonight’s Jim Haggerty Show. Now it makes perfect sense.
- Comment on You need a colonoscopy 2 months ago:
I agree with all of that.
- Comment on You need a colonoscopy 2 months ago:
Yeah. I’ve noticed that with some movies and shows from the 80s and 90s that I enjoyed at the time.
I might just put on in the background while I work on other things.
- Comment on You need a colonoscopy 2 months ago:
I’m gonna go with that. I got hung on the names of characters she’s played. I couldn’t make the connection between “Cameron” and “camera in”.
Kinda want to watch “The Mask” now. I love her in that movie
- Comment on You need a colonoscopy 2 months ago:
I don’t get it. I’ve tried. I give up.

She only made it to 78 because Satan was busy creating a new level of Hell for her.

His wife is literally a Karen. Going to a fitness “booty” camp over the long weekend with her personal trainer.
I really hope this is satire.
- Comment on Electronic Arts has launched EA Advertising, a way for brands to integrate ads in games 3 months ago:
TV timeouts during the quarters of Madden games. They’ll do a skippable halftime recap then 5 minutes of unskippable ads. Make it like a real NFL broadcast.
- Comment on It really will 3 months ago:
I want to believe.
- Comment on 'We Are Well Above Our Forecasts' — 007 First Light Sales Are Now at 3 Million, IO Interactive 'Very Confident' It Will Be Profitable 3 months ago:
There’s no confusion about the future of the franchise.
Amazon said they’re taking control of it and they’re going coordinate releases to coincide with Bond in other media.
They’ll hire a bunch of vibe coders, try to copy First Light, and launch a buggy pile of crap alongside a movie.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 5 months ago:
The “archy” is definitely related to the idea of a top-level leadership/executive group that is set apart from the rest. Anarchy removes that executive privilege and parasitism.
For any society to function, there must be rules. Anarchy, in most forms, the community is the legislature and judiciary.
- Comment on Is cryptocurrency good for anything? 5 months ago:
You mean the same governments that manipulate their currency’s value?
Or in the case of the USA, a government that is spending so much that they’re basically insolvent?

You don’t need journalists, editors, etc if you’re just going to use Grok, I guess.
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 5 months ago:
Schools are run by cities, counties, with oversight and regulations divided between every level, all the way to Federal.
There are minimum standards set for nutrition but many kinds of schools are exempt from providing meals or meeting the minimum.
Some schools go above and beyond, providing nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and snacks that the students can take home. Others, on the other hand, see it as a hassle and do the bare minimum.
Many US schools are misfunded, with many layers of unneeded bureaucracy and testing added, pulling resources away from the classroom and cafeteria.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 6 months ago:
You think the Fallout 4 remaster would have done it as well.
I’m thinking we get AI-slopped remastered New Vegas and/or Fallout 3 next.
- Comment on Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically? 6 months ago:
It’s easy - just listen to what Trump and most Congressional Republicans say about it. They parrot most of Russia’s talking points.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 6 months ago:
I sold mine last week, so those numbers are off a little.
- Comment on Maggie Gyllenhaal Says ‘The Bride’ Test Screenings Criticized Film’s Sexual Violence and Warner Bros. Boss Told Her ‘You Can’t Have Frankenstein Lick Black Vomit Off the Bride’s Neck’ 6 months ago:
I went to see “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” a couple of weeks ago and all the trailers were for horror films. The trailer for “The Bride” was the best of them, but even that one left me feeling unenthusiastic by the end.
Add this to it and it’s feeling like they don’t feel the actual story is good enough. Sometimes leaving something to the imagination is far more powerful.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 6 months ago:
Highguard’s leadership and at least one of their former devs said they were making this game in order to line their pockets.
They really never mentioned wanting to make a great game because they love these type of games.
It was they want a bigger piece of the pie and these games generate lots of revenue.
- Comment on The Highguard Website Is Down As Players Brace For The Worst 7 months ago:
The whole thing was rigged to fail. There appears to have been almost zero outside input during the development. All the feedback they got were from internal sources or carefully vetted content creators - ones that rarely say anything bad about a game.
They created an echo fart-sniffing chamber.
They released a few updates almost right away which were received positively but it doesn’t appear that the company had the money to ride out a few months of poor microtransactions.
No open beta, no Early Access. They disappeared from social media right after the trailer dropped then, when they returned, all they did was whine.
Thousands of players quit and uninstalled before finishing the required tutorial.
I’m sure a lot of the creatives and devs are capable of creating great things. Management created an environment of groupthink, not of questioning and innovation.

Nah. It’ll be an online hero shooter.
- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 7 months ago:
I agree with most of it.
If kids are acting out, it’s because they’re feeling powerless and/or unheard. So they banned social media. What did they replace it with? Did the government build public spaces meant for under-16s to gather and be social?
Golf courses are not a good thing,though. They are an absolute waste. The amount of water and chemicals used is atrocious.
- Comment on YouTube sponsorship starter pack 7 months ago:
This was put together by someone who doesn’t watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.
