- Comment on Fast-paced turn-based tactics game Warside for fans of Advance Wars launches April 14 2 weeks ago:
This is great because Nintendo charging $60 for Advance Wars Re-boot Camp on the Switch was way too high for me to consider it.
- Comment on Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke 5 weeks ago:
Ricky Gervais is transphobic garbage.
- Comment on Opinion | The Barrage of Trump’s Awful Ideas Is Doing Exactly What It’s Supposed To 5 weeks ago:
The New York Times is complicit in all the genocidal shit happening to trans people right now. For over a decade they were turning public opinion against trans rights and equality.

If you want to support a creator, give them a quarter and block the ads. Seriously. That quarter is worth more than any ad revenue they will ever get from you watching their videos.

Most democrats at the federal level are complicit in a lot of what’s going on, including Musk’s DOGE treasury crap (crimes?) despite him not being a government employee or confirmed by the senate. Hell, most federal democrats JUST in the last year voted for the legislation that enables ICE to indefinitely detain any suspected immigrant suspected of committing any crime. No due process. No actual crime needed.
Screw voting for democrats. Democrats voted to let the government round up the people I love to be deported or tortured. If we still have the power to vote, vote for leftists. Or vote for left-of-average-democrat people like Bernie.

High seas is still the best way to experience these games!
- Comment on Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot? 1 month ago:
Also the timeline usually matters. Mod methods can change as game patches are released. Mods can have mod patches. Mods can be deprecated for new mods or mod methods. Mods can have other dependencies. Install order sometimes matters.
I think OP is right; mods can be messy, complicated, and a lot of work.

- Comment on Anon fixes Super Mario Bros 2 months ago:
I don’t think it’s fair to say Super Mario Bros. was always bad. People played the heck out of it when it released. One could argue that’s because it was bundled with the system, but I believe the consensus is that it is considered one of the best games of its time. It’s probably one of the top 3 NES games still played today. It is legendary.
- Comment on "The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy" - Frank Zappa, 1986 2 months ago:
You are going to see a rise of Dominionism in action over the next 4+ years. As long as Dominionism isn’t in direct opposition to the oligarchy, it will continue to rise. See project 2025, prayer in schools, mandatory displays of the ten commandments, federal money going to religious schools, churches endorsing the republican party and not losing their tax-exempt statuses, etc…

Repeal the DMCA. One of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 2 months ago:
My favorite was “New Super Mario Bros. 2”. What a mess.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 2 months ago:
The Switch has so many good games! Sure, most are available on other platforms as well, but overall it’s such a great system.
- Comment on All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN 2 months ago:
Nintendo has had such terrible quality control when it comes to performance on Switch. First party Nintendo games even suffer from unacceptable framerate drops. So many Switch games struggle to perform well on the Switch; we need a Switch 2 just to get all the Switch 1 games to play at the intended performance level.
- Comment on Marvel game, developed with the Chinese firm NetEase, ‘bans’ the words ‘free Taiwan’ and ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ 2 months ago:
I guess I can’t discuss Taylor Swift’s 1989 album while playing Rivals.
- Comment on Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years? 2 months ago:
I would argue that any actual increased aggression could simply be attributed to the state of the country (the US federal government is broken) and the fact that most US americans are not having their needs met financially. The billionaires who run the system dramatically increased the prices of everything that’s not optional to pay for: food, housing, insurance, etc…
People feel helpless, overworked, and angry.

Lol Elon Musk would probably start banning all users who did this on Twitter if it gained any traction.
- Comment on Anon gets corrected 2 months ago:
Yes! Thank you for stating this.
- Comment on Anon gets corrected 2 months ago:
The fact that you’re getting downvoted for essentially saying “just be a respectful, reasonable, and decent human being” is pretty bizarre. Like, can we just have some empathy and patience for each other?
- Comment on Anon gets corrected 2 months ago:
Alternatively, if a woman asks you not to call her a guy or a dude, respect that.
- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 2 months ago:
I think the neck tie looks better overall, but I still prefer the bow tie because I have a much more positive association with them. I see people put bowtie collars on their cats and it’s always adorable. When I see neckties on an animal, I either think ‘cute animal that’s always getting down to business’ or ‘criminal’.
- Comment on Disgusting money driven mindset 2 months ago:
This is exactly the kind of behavior that modern capitaliam produces: money, power, and growth at any cost. Others are no longer people or equals, they are tools. Morals and ethics must be left behind to “succeed”.

First TeePublic removes perfectly legal Luigi Mangioni shirts, and now this.
They were dead to me after the luigi incident. Now this is mearly affirming my opinion of them as a company.
- Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™ 2 months ago:
United States law enforcement agencies have the ability to eavesdrop on Skype conversations and to have access to Skype users’ geographic locations. In many cases, a simple request for information is sufficient, with no court approval needed. This ability was deliberately added by Microsoft for law enforcement agencies around the world after they purchased Skype in 2011.

Although I think Microsoft implemented end-to-end encryption for skype for single conversations at a time in 2018.
