- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 4 days ago:
No, that is plainly incorrect. MAGA and the Project 2025 plan are an indisputable textbook example of fascism, complete with a dictatorial leader, obsession for rebirth of a nation which is idealized to be assumed to be of homogenous identity, and cleansing of undesireables/foriegners. From Trump/MAGA rhetoric, to ICE deportaton raids, to nationalizing companies like US Steel and Intel, they’ve literally checked every box and are following the fascist playbook step by step.
So, you’re actually the moron.
- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 4 days ago:
Because they genuinely don’t know what the definition of fascism is

- Comment on A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Helldivers 3, says Arrowhead CEO 1 week ago:
Did you read the article?
You caught me, no, I should have read it before typing.
Still, thinking about the possibility of the next game is killing my already low motivation to grind. I’ve already unlocked all of the content you can buy from samples, but the super credits are just too painfully slow for me. I think the remedy would be some kind of currency exchange system that allows you to trade samples or slips for super credits and vice versa.
I’d say it’s fair to make a distinction between “pay-to-win” and “pay-to-enjoy”, but I’d argue that the distinction makes little difference because “pay-to-enjoy” is just as bad. I’d have absolutely zero complaints about any of this if the paid content was only cosmetic stuff.
All of your comment is pretty fair and valid. Things could definitely be worse. Maybe I should be more grateful for that? There is a FOMO aspect to their rotating shop, but the warbonds are always there which is “nice” of them.
The gameplay is really fun and a great experience.
- Comment on A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Helldivers 3, says Arrowhead CEO 1 week ago:
It already takes a literal eternity to earn the super credits needed to unlock actual game content, not just cosmetics, without paying them real money.
If they’re already thinking about Helldivers 3, it completely kills my motivation to even try to unlock more Helldivers 2 content, unless we are somehow guaranteed that our unlocks and super credits will carry over.
I genuinely don’t understand why this game is in the good graces of the internet while infested with pay-to-win non-cosmetic microtransactions. The “social hub” will exist not to socialize but as a place to display your paid content to other players.

I dunno, I don’t play these games. The most demanding game I play on steam deck is Oblivion Remastered which runs fine with upscaling/framegen and lowish settings. The nostalgia factor makes low settings totally fine for this game, too, so its not a big deal. Anything game where I want great graphics and performance, I’ll just play on my desktop.
For $900 you could literally just build a decent desktop, but you do you

I’d argue this is not really the case, and their strategy has shifted to increasing the price of actually “owning” games to be a premium experience, ie all their new games are now $80, making subscription prices seem more attractive

Thanks, I literally just looked this up and saw that is supposedly the case. That’s very surprising to me. At least it has that

I have the original and passed on upgrading to the OLED. It really hasn’t shown much age at all, yet. I’m not really playing AAA or demanding titles on it, anyway, and it works perfectly for all of the games I do want to play on it. I figure the limiting factor will be the battery, and that seems to be just as good as it was new.

The number of people that I know who were vegans, went to an agriculture school studying to become veterinarians, and gave up veganism immediately as soon as they got real experience in the meat/whool/dairy industry and saw the reality of it rather than propaganda…

No, but inventing fake dilemmas in order to pretend you are morally superior than others is quite childish.

Seems to me that you’re the one disrespecting rape victims here by denying how other species can experience the same.
I’ve never claimed that animals cannot be raped. Artificial insemination is not rape, though.
- Comment on New idea 5 weeks ago:
The mistake is thinking that this is about creating a successful movement and real change, when veganism is actually often a tool to allow one to believe are falsely morally superior to others.
The more people that participate and agree with them, the less effective it is at making them feel better than others, so it actually requires excluding and belittling people rather than convincing them.
- Comment on New idea 5 weeks ago:
You’re no different to me than the fascists in power the world over that seek to dominate minority groups.
Yep, gotta make everything black and white in order to process the world. Very healthy “if you eat dairy you’re a fascist” 😂 your childish naivety is showing.
