  I’m starting to really consider the whole “reality is a simulation” angle, and whoever is running the game has put in a cheat code. (not really really, but more than I ever have before)

  🙄

  I have some reeeeeeal bad news for you: the American voters handed Trump and the Republicans not just 1, not 2, but ALL 3 fucking branches of government, on top of a media in which at least 33% is in his fucking pocket and at least another 33% is too stupid to see through his bullshit.

  I’m not sure what kind of push back you’re expecting or who you’re expecting it from exactly, but to whatever extent there IS push back it’s gonna be 90% performative gesturing and hand-wringing until at least 2026. And that’s the best case where people are smart enough to vote in their best interest, which knowing how fucking stupid you all are, I’m not gonna hold my breath.

  GLHF.

  Now that’s a headline!

  Fuck Trump, Elon, the other oligarchs, and all of the short-sighted moronic voters and non-voters who put them back in power.

  This may not be what America wants, but this is what Americans deserve for being so fucking stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did I offend you or something? Does your dad work for Nintendo? 🙄

  It’s a figure of speech. But let me really spell it out for you and any other fucking slowpokes in the back of the class…

  I’m not impressed with the hardware or the software that they showed today. They should show more than 8 seconds of a game that looks marginally better than Mario Kart 8 (a game I bought and enjoyed 11 years ago on the Wii U) if they want to impress me and sell me on a piece of hardware that is incrementally better than the Switch they sold me 8 year ago. Hopefully they have something that will impress me when they do another presentation in April, but if not that’s cool who gives a fuck man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They seem to be implying that you can turn the joycons on their side to use them kind of like a mouse… I guess?

  At least that’s what the rumors and chatter have been saying. How practical that is… I dunno.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it’s a bigger, better Switch alright…

  A little bit underwhelming hardware-wise. Extra joycon L/R don’t seem like they’ll factor in much in most singleplayer docked or handheld settings. The mouse thing (if that’s what they’re showing) is somewhat interesting and helps to keep touch controls relevant when docked. Top USB port, sure. Backwards compatibility is great news. Screen is…?

  As always with Nintendo I think it comes down to the games. Mario Kart 9 hasn’t blown me away just yet, but we’ve barely seen anything at all so…

  To be continued in April.

  Fursan al-Aqsa was released in 2022

  You’re clearly not very well informed, because the source of the controversy here is an October 7th themed update that came out in late 2023.

  Yeah, actually after taking a look at your profile, you’re not the kind of person I want taking up my mental energy.

  What kind of person would that be?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Until we have a voting system where 3rd parties are viable (for example. Ranked Choice Voting, Star Voting, Approval Voting, etc.), we absolutely do not benefit in any way for the existence of more parties.

  Whether intentional or not, America today is a two-party system by design. If you want more choices beyond the Democrats and Republicans, you need to help us enact voting system reforms which are necessary to allow 3rd parties to exist legitimately. We aren’t joking when we say that voting 3rd party is throwing your vote away; it very much is.

  Are we not currently in a thread specifically talking about an October 7th game or…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US rep asks Valve to remove ‘Oct. 7’ game from Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Any support for Palestine is being called “terrorist” these days, so I’d rather make the judgment call for myself.

  So what is your judgment call? Was the October 7th attack terrorism or not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US rep asks Valve to remove ‘Oct. 7’ game from Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TTT was so fucking great back in the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t played Cyberpunk, but I already felt that way about The Witcher 3, to some extent. CDPR makes nice looking games with seemingly vibrant and populated worlds, but I feel like interaction with the world and NPCs is pretty thin and boring.
