  eventually I should read the source material, but the maxims are a pretty great list of rules.

  came in to comment effectively this., but you phrased it better than I would have.

  “But happy employees naturally work harder” yeah, but so do desperate employees, and that also satisfies corpo desire for abusable slaves.

  that’s an even better quote than the one I remembered

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pitches the next big movie adaptation of a video game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  they’d be proud of the fact that they never played video games, let alone the source material.

  look at interviews surrounding halo paramount, “we want to tell our own story in this setting” then proceeds to make garbage that actively disrespects the source.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  sane companies “leak” their upcoming games to influencerson purpose as part of their marketing strategy.

  nintendo, once again, chooses to treat their most dedicated fans like shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer to think of it as they made a bad show on purpose, and then tried to claim that the reasons why it’s bad are the reasons why it’s good actually.

  Don’t get me wrong, the plot (what little of it I did see) was pretty good, and the acting was (mostly) pretty good, the set design and costuming and whatnot was pretty good. Very high production quality. The problems that you pointed out with the writing I 100% agree with, and relegate what could have been a great show to expensive background noise.

  Dune Prophecy did the same thing, and it was in those conversations I found the term “3rd screen content”. The studios really are doing this on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based tesla user???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  would have been even longer if he just kept his mouth shut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  3rd screen content. you’re not actually supposed to watch it, you’re supposed to passively absorb it while doing something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m talking about normies, not gamers, and not power users like yourself.

  Normies touch their pc for less than one hour a day, because everything they could want is in their phone. Many normies don’t even have internet connections in their home because they exclusively engage with the internet through their phone. I’ve talked to normies who don’t have pcs at all because their ipads do everything they could possibly want.

  It’s a fact that there are certain games that simply do not run on linux, because of drm or developer stupidity or any number of reasons. As a separate argument, I’d argue that those games are not worth playing. I used to be a hardcore gamer, I’ve gotten old since then and become a casual. I don’t have time nor energy to dedicate to figuring out why game x won’t run on pc y with configuration z. If the big green play button doesn’t work, I refund the damn thing, and in my almost 2 years of linux usage I have yet to need to do that. Another separate argument is my disdain for AAA games, the lack of ethics in their creation, and the abysmal conditions in which they always launch in these days.

  So as to your actual question, can I convince you to switch your gaming pc to linux? No, and I’m not even going to try. If you insist on playing the latest AAA slop that the megacorps shovel at you, then you must have windows and you must continue to allow microsoft to continue to rape your digital existence in order to have crappy entertainment that I wouldn’t dignify with the time of day.

  Deus Ex was on Unreal Engine 1 or 2. Other than that, yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if you’re on Linux mint, check to see if mint itself is out of date. When I installed mint, the only install media I could find was 2 versions behind. Getting to the current version fixed my warframe problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i remember it as “the last version of windows you’ll ever need” and they were absolutely correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to linux full time almost a year ago.

  I have been thus far entirely unsuccessful in convincing anyone else to make the jump. Normal people do not give a fuck, will not lift a finger to improve their digital lives. I’ve been telling friends and family about adblockers for YEARS, and not a single one ever bothered to do it of their own volition. If I don’t do it for them, then they just sit through ads like complacent sheep. None of them are going to change operating systems if they can’t even install a browser extension.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Avengers: Doomsday" is officially in production⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A number of different quotes come to mind:

  “Can robert downy jr do for marvel what robert downy jr did for marvel?”

  or

  “You’ll be doing this until you’re ninety”

  I’m not hype for this, especially after deadpool+wolverine was just an endless parade of HEY IT’S THAT THING YOU LIKE, YOU LIKE THIS. Nothing to make me want to watch it a second time, at least not without a lot of alcohol. Nothing I’ve seen recently gives me high expectations for the next movie.

  Civ6 still isn’t in a state that I’m happy with playing it over civ 5, or even civ4. What makes them think I’d give civ7 the time of day?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you think that you are always right remember you could actually be stupid and not know it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  be me do awesome work that is well done and makes perfect sense derp shows up “Hey anon, what dipshit did this?” points at my work “This is stupid.” I explain the what and why. derp still thinks it’s wrong and stupid. I finish my work, with time to spare. Later, derp does the work. Takes him twice as long as it took me and it all looks like shit. Derp leaves at the end of his day, the work isn’t actually done and I have to clean up after him. I explain the above to Herp and Gerp, both think that Derp was right and I was wrong. Anons, am I the stupid?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pineapple was never the problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if you know this, but the pineapple pizza thing is a trans allegory. I didn’t decide that, it just is. Making jokes at the expense of a persecuted minority is not ok. Good comedy punches up, not down. My bad for forgetting again that internet communities don’t do subtlety.
