Making up scenarios and claiming to know what the response would be sure is a way to make an argument.
I mean, the worse most laughable way, but it’s a way indeed.

So should Walmart stop selling products that fit my personal preferences too? Say goodbye to animal fats, products made in the US, ultra processed foods, some fruit I just don’t like the taste of, all Nestlé products…
I think you get the point.

What’s Steam got to do with Borderlands 2 having a rootkit?
- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 1 week ago:
LLMs can’t describe themselves or their internal layers. You can’t ask ChatGPT to describe it’s censorship.
Instead, you’re getting a reply based on how other sources in the training set described how LLMs work, plus the tone appropriate to your chat.

Unfortunately, while Valve outsourcing repairs and parts to iFixit is great for most regions, iFixit stopped shipping to my country a few years ago, so this complicates things quite a lot :(

We can’t criticise a massive price increase on games and insane markups for a 480p webcam in 2025 because… People are having fun?
I mean, I can have lots of fun with asbestos too.

My battery is no longer holding up the same as it did when I first purchased mine, but I’m only replacing my Steam Deck for another gaming device when the Steam Deck 2 launches.

My comment is got blast processing, so I win
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 weeks ago:
Hur Durr Valve knows something you don’t
Here’s Valve explicitly claiming the same as I did
Hur I struck a nerve time to stop the conversation
Hahaha sure buddy
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 weeks ago:
The website literally states this image is meant for the Steam Deck and Legion Go S, not other random devices.
But sure, go on, you must know something Valve doesn’t.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 weeks ago:
Clearly it was worth valve’s time and attention, so my guess is they know something you don’t lol
Every manufacturer provides a firmware reset image or tool. It’s not some mystery.
But sure, get weirdly offended because somebody pointed out the obvious lol

Oh tell me your joking, this profoundly ruins he and every single one of his roles forever for me
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 weeks ago:
Most users aren’t going to install a new OS, especially on a handheld.
The third party devices coming out with SteamOS already installed are significantly more interesting than this .iso.
- Comment on Why console makers can legally brick your game console 3 weeks ago:
If you live in a shit hole like the US, yes.
It’s totally illegal over here.
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly - the platform owner usually can do everything. Can a third party crawler? I don’t know
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 3 weeks ago:
an impossible encounter
That’s kinda the point of Souls games though. The encounter isn’t impossible, and once your skills and attitude change, you get through it - even though the encounter itself didn’t change a bit.

Dark Souls II fans will love it!
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 3 weeks ago:
We do have fairly precise numbers of how much energy it takes to train the models using the best GPUs available, and slightly less precise but also reasonable estimates on how much it costs to run servers for users to toy around with.
It’s extremely high, but not different from what it would be like if these were cloud gaming or 3D rendering servers.
The main point is usually is it worth it and that’s highly subjective.

It’s also very hard to keep track of licenses for text based content on the internet. Do most users know what’s the default licence for their comments on Reddit? How about Facebook? How about the comments section of a random blog? How about the title of their Medium post? And so on
- Comment on Embracer to spin off Coffee Stain Group – remaining business to be renamed Fellowship Entertainment 3 weeks ago:
Every. Single. Time. I read “Embracer” as “Embraer” and spend 30 seconds trying to parse why an airplane company is investing into entertainment.

Do you tend to write down a list of bullet points every time a loved one needs help?
- Comment on Who will win? 3 weeks ago:
And we would soon follow.
There’s a difference between “okay, Aedes and Anopheles do not belong here and can be exterminated from this local environment because we inadvertently introduced them here” versus “let’s just exterminate all mosquitos, you know, some of the most important biomass that feeds uncountable species in a deeply interconnected network of ecological interactions that directly affects us”
It’s a significantly better idea to come up with solutions to the actual diseases.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 3 weeks ago:
I mean… Do you support the recent proposal to ban online porn? How about alcohol?
Valve provides a game, an appropriate age rating, a description of the monetization scheme, and a way for users to freely trade items.
If minors transform that into a gambling addiction, it’s certainly a big problem, but I don’t see how that translates into “Steam bad, Epic Games good”

Why do
LinkedIn users write their essays
In this format? Many other platforms
Have the same limitations for character count
Or even lack of rich text formatting
Yet people don’t write like this.
Where did this
Culture come from?
