Yeah, and all he had to do to maintain that image was keep his mouth shut and let the pr people talk for him, but no that wasn’t good enough for his ego.
- Comment on Huh? 16 hours ago:
Part of the reason why I hate going to bars. Another part is that the drinks are overpriced. I can get a decent handle and drink for a week for the same price as 3 drinks at a bar. No, the shitty music and oppressive atmosphere does not make the experience worth it.

I’ll just add it to the pile of reasons why ubisoft is on my shit list alongside ea, epic, and activision.
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 1 week ago:
I’d be interested to see how sales of the steam deck compare. Sure, it’s a pc not a console, but the whole thing is to bring pc gaming to console gamers so I’m interested in the comparison.
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 2 weeks ago:
The problem with conspiracy theories like this is it assumed that the people doing the conspiracy are competent.

at step 2 it’s not a staw anymore, that’s a narrow funnel.
- Comment on Don't do it 3 weeks ago:
fuck yeah
- Comment on Don't do it 3 weeks ago:
Day 3 for me. Not giving it up for good, just taking a much needed tolerance break (which I should do way more often than twice a year.)
Usually I compensate for lack of alcohol with more energy drinks, but I’m off those too and it fucking sucks.

yes, but I do that too.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 weeks ago:
My hobby is buying materials for projects and then not doing the projects.

I was just given expedition33 as a gift. I really want to play it. That was 2 weeks ago. I haven’t played anything in 2 months, let alone something I really fucking want to.

suggestion: make a separate community that is “replies to womens stuff”.
actually don’t, sounds like a cesspool.
- Comment on Anon travels overseas 1 month ago:
Not being able to outrun your diet is a really strange concept to me, and I’ve exclusively heard it in this thread, and multiple times in this thread. Dafuq?
- Comment on Anon travels overseas 1 month ago:
What you said is an explanation of why what I said is an oversimplification. It’s an efficiency variable, just makes the math slightly more complicated, doesn’t change the formula.
- Comment on Anon travels overseas 1 month ago:
calories in, calories out. Use more than you eat and weight goes down. Eat more than you use and weight goes up. It’s an oversimplification, but it’s not wrong.

I just won’t play such games. Simple as.

I hate ai. it’s the worst thing to happen to my writing. I used to like writing, but the ai is better than me and much faster, and it hits the dopamine as if I did it myself. fuck everyone pushing ai, it’s evil.

- Comment on Louvre security vs CVS 2 months ago:
it’s what i bought so I can open shit at the store I work at. spider is the name brand of magnetic locks, but the same key works on every brand of magnetic lock I’ve tried.
- Comment on Louvre security vs CVS 2 months ago:
sorry for linking amazon, but you should know that you can just buy your own spider key
- Comment on Well do you? 2 months ago:
look, I could do that, OR, hear me out, I could be mad on the Internet about shit that doesn’t actually matter. I know which one I’d pick.
- Comment on it's that time 2 months ago:
Easy solution: They’re not skeletons, they’re bone golems. They don’t need to be anatomically correct because they weren’t left behind by a living creature but rather crafted by a necromancer to fulfill a specific purpose.

don’t you only see these being used when other preferable infrastructure has already failed, and it’s like, an emergency or something?

- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 3 months ago:
Depends on who gets superpowers, and how such powers are acquired.
The broad strokes of The Boys makes some degree of sense if we start with the premise that some megacorporation controls the manufacture and publicity of all supers. However, if supers can come from other sources, then what limitations are we putting on the premise?
I am of the opinion that most people are inherently good. Most people are also inherently stupid and cowardly, but keep in mind that these circles on the venn diagram are independent of each other despite some overlap. However, if given an opportunity to choose between helping and hurting, without any fear of repercussions either way, most people would choose to help.
There’s a popular quote: “power corrupts”, which is a shortened version of “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. I think this quote misses something fundamental: “power attracts the corruptable”. In a world without gods, no one I’d ever trust to be one would ever actively make the choice to become one unless it was forced on them somehow.
If superpowers were distributed more randomly, then the odds of us getting a superman instead of a homelander improve greatly. Still a dice throw though.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 3 months ago:
holy shit that looks bad.
If you have deus ex through steam, you can also get revision through steam and revision looks pretty good in my opinion.
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 3 months ago:
Something I’ve noticed, and it’s consistent enough that I suspect that microsoft does it on purpose, there’s a 50/50 chance that your windows instal will either be fine forever without problems, or plagued with constant issues that get worse with every update. 2 identical machines with the same install media can produce very different experiences.
I use linux now, and I no longer do tech support, so I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that shit anymore.
