Last Christmas my daughter kept getting closer to figuring things out until one night she cryptically said, “I can’t wait until I’m an adult so I can learn about grown up secrets.”
“What kind of secrets are those?”
“You know, like if Santa wasn’t real or something.”
“Well if Santa wasn’t real, then we’d definitely want to keep that secret from kids like your little brother, so we’d never ever talk about it.”
“Oh yeah.”
Then she never mentioned it again.
It may have been our fault for doing way too many holiday activities. She must have met four or five different Santas that year.

It’s not really about the evidence. Once they figure it out you can get them to play along a little longer, but they know.

I like to go the extra mile. I uncensor shit emphatically.
A censored “shit” in a post about Star Trek? “SHIT” in big Star Trek font.
“Cunt” in a post about the UK? Enjoy your “CUNT” dressed in a union jack.
The censored word is “cock”? Here’s “COCK” in flesh tones with bulging purple veins on it.
Fucking lean into it.

- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 5 weeks ago:
Anthem is a goddamn masterpiece, and I will die on this hill. The graphics, the combat, and the traversal were all AAA quality. There just wasn’t enough fodder for the internet hate machine that month, so Anthem got tossed into it for some reason.

Yes, that is a new fetish alright. Never heard of anyone into that before.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 1 month ago:
I have kids, so yes, I watch kids’ cartoons. Today it was DuckTales.
Without kids, I probably wouldn’t watch any tv except what my wife wants to watch. I’d always rather be playing a video game.

I’ve bought a PC before, so I know that you’re not being honest. Whether or not that’s on purpose, I’m not sure.

Uh huh. And it takes fifteen minutes to caramelize onions.

Isearched that phrase just for fun, and it turns out a budget PC is $800?
I’m not interested in discussing all the reasons PCs aren’t a good fit for me. I just don’t like when PC snobs act like it’s the right fit for everyone. You’re obviously the “invested” one here.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 1 month ago:
First of all, pointing vaguely at the internet and saying there are websites is supremely unhelpful.
Second, why would I need a solution when I can just buy a console and not have that problem in the first place?
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 1 month ago:
Buy a PC? Ok, let me just go to the PC store and say, “One PC, please.” It’s that simple, right? I don’t have to do hours of research to understand what the components are and then even more research to understand which ones are best?
Be serious.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 1 month ago:
It’s not laziness; it’s time. I’ve got three kids and a full time job. If I sit down to play a game and I’m spending that time fiddling with drivers or trying to figure out why the video isn’t displaying on my tv, then I don’t get to play a game.
I swear, PC snobs are worse than recipe writers about underestimating prep time.
- Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates 1 month ago:
Because my hobby is gaming. I don’t have time to take on the additional hobby of fiddling with a PC.
Also, PC prices have gone up too, haven’t they?

My daughter is learning to write and gets about half her numbers backwards. After I’ve corrected her on a 2, a 3, and a 7, I’ll look at a six and genuinely not know which way it’s supposed to face.

I actually talked to all of the players, and they all agreed with the reviewers. They said NV is actually a little overrated. 🤷

Metacritic says 3 and 4 were both better reviewed than NV. Took me like ten seconds to look it up.

Doesn’t sound like they’ll necessarily be honest about the situation either then.
- Comment on Top-selling video games ever (2025) 2 months ago:
It’s almost more of a system than a game, like you can play many games within it.
I used to just jump into a survival world and start exploring. Now I’ve got a persistent world I’ve had for like eight years. Sometimes I’m still discovering new areas, but other times I’m rediscovering stuff that I (or my friend who plays in the same world) built long ago. Occasionally I’ll take on some huge impressive project. The rail system in my world is unreasonably built out.

The antisemites must be thrilled that this specific individual is giving them license to dust off their old racist caricatures.

Tetris was bundled with the original Game Boy. It’d still be in first though.
