Opinion: Anti-antisemitism is a serious problem. Too many people are making excuses.
- Comment on Away Team (Oxygen Not Included Spinoff) Announcement Trailer 5 days ago:
It’s not me wanting everything. It’s me not wanting fucking MTX and FOMO mechanics in games I paid for.
- Comment on Away Team (Oxygen Not Included Spinoff) Announcement Trailer 5 days ago:
I wasn’t referring to the DLC, I was referring to their login bonus cosmetic skins, and trying to sell me paid cosmetics in a game that I already paid for.
I loved the game, but fuck tencent, and klei for selling out
- Comment on Away Team (Oxygen Not Included Spinoff) Announcement Trailer 5 days ago:
Given how much ONI in the past couple years leaned in to the MTX plaque, I’m staying away from this one.

- Comment on [Opinion] We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 1 week ago:
This has nothing to do with republicans. The fucking up of NASA was very much a bipartisan effort
- Comment on [Opinion] We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 1 week ago:
It’s a dumb argument. SpaceX flourished because NASA is being destroyed by incompetent political overseers who can’t follow a long term plan to save their lives (or avoid feeding at the trough). Nationalising SpaceX would just give the idiots screwing NASA even more to screw over. Elon’s an asshole, but I’d rather not see the space program go on pause for the next fifty years. Again.

No, why would I care one way or another which instance they were on? People like you are why we have ‘morality’ laws.

It’s not a sin, it’s just inappropriate. God you’re a judgemental dick

Says the man posting from lemmynsfw. Things in your second marriage must be going super well
Ah yes, you’re one of those who think porn is a sin. Explains a lot about your attitude in the comments here.

- Comment on Amazon has canceled its Wheel of Time series 3 weeks ago:
She was a professional editor and worked on his books before they started dating. She’s also been the editor for several other classic and famous series’. So unless you’re implying that her feminity is cause for lesser quality, I fail to see the relevance.
- Comment on Amazon has canceled its Wheel of Time series 3 weeks ago:
You could potentially cut a lot, yeah. But this wasn’t cutting, this was just plain rewriting.

To elicit the blackmailing behavior from Claude Opus 4, Anthropic designed the scenario to make blackmail the last resort.

- Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped 3 weeks ago:
You’re dodging the question. HOW would this reduce deaths?
- Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped 3 weeks ago:
Would you like to explain HOW it would reduce deaths? Because no would-be mass murderer would ever sharpen a knife or, just, pick up another weapon?
- Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped 3 weeks ago:
Yes, would-be mass murderers everywhere will be deterred by the fact that knives will no longer come pre-pointed. Society will be saved!

- Comment on Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now 4 weeks ago:
It’s perfectly possible for a TCG to be a deckbuilder, I’m sure. Especially video games that get to do all sorts of stuff to break the rules. My comment was directed at classical TCGs like MtG.
Stacklands looks pretty increasing, might give it a whirl
- Comment on Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now 4 weeks ago:
That’s reasonably close to what I was thinking, yes.
- Comment on Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now 4 weeks ago:
TCGs are not deckbuilders, at least not as they’re commonly understood today. See the other comment thread for the discussion.
More traditional boardgames like dominion aren’t rougelites
I was referring to video game deckbuilders. I couldn’t think of any, but I’ve had a few pointed out to me.

Apparently the shift was more than well under way by 2011.
