- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Mods Have Already Been Published Online 5 hours ago:
It’s been like 8 hours since release and I’m not seeing any.
Come on internet, gimme jiggle mod.
- Comment on I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender 1 day ago:
Went out with my cousin who is 5’ 4". He buys pants at the kid section.
I tried to poke fun at him and this short king eviscerated me how I had to pay a “Height tax” since his clothes are durable and cheaper.

There’s been jokes that end up becoming reality so yearly fact-checks is appreciated

The way we made fun of the war on drugs, I hope the future does the same with the Got Milk! Bullshit.
- Comment on Elevated 1 week ago:
Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren’t allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.
And post-DOGE, I’m absolutely mortified.
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 1 week ago:
Covid was a glimpse.
I had coworkers who left small towns because they were Asian. Imagine being Filipino and having racists shout Chinaflu at you. Every single Asian person I met has a story.
I also had a friend disown their parents because they harassed a Thai family all during covid, calling them child smugglers. I’ve met these people, and they were perfectly wonderful 15 years ago. Just oblivious racists.
- Comment on Anon gets outed 1 week ago:
Jobs with shitty cultures. Restaurants, bars, places where managers are like in their 20s, the owner and management team are “family”, and HR is some random woman in her 50s who chain smokes.
Once I worked at a office job, everything was so much more chill and drama moved outside High School BS to real adult stuff, like whose doing cocaine in the bosses desk.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 week ago:
Oh boy. If you look at Ubisoft’s stock prices, it’s way down.
Like high 80s in 2018. And now it’s 8, roughly 1/10th if it’s value.
They aren’t going to survive another few years at this rate without some bangers. How stupid their leadership has been, with NFTs, with their sexual harassment lawsuits, with bonehead anti-consumer practices is just accelerating this downfall.
- Comment on Hotel prices 1 week ago:
I don’t know about that.
More like most of them have giant backpacks, lots of tourists, and one really huge creep that wants to sell your liver.
- Comment on Anon makes life choices 1 week ago:
My drinking buddy is a neuroscientist.
Same story. Went to college uncertain what he wanted. Did liberal arts, realized he was always curious about how the brain works, and just kept pushing through.
He’s not really sure how he was going to make a living, but he’s good at what he does and it’s the only thing that keeps him going.
A few drinking sessions prior, we celebrated over him submitting a paper that took five years to write.
- Comment on Judge calls out OpenAI’s “straw man” argument in New York Times copyright suit 2 weeks ago:
I read that section half a dozen times and I still don’t understand it.
It’s like they really don’t have lawyers on the team that know what they’re doing.
- Comment on How do you answer the question "What's new with you?" when nothing happens in your life? 2 weeks ago:
I take a short breath and pull out my phone.
I notate when I last saw them.
I then pull out my document of every major event that occurred to me from point A to point B.
They look confused.
I comfort them.
I gently remind them that I’m on this ride with them. And if they didn’t want to be informed, they shouldnt have asked.
I clear my throat, and start at the top of the list.

That’s me too. And personally, I think you’re my type of person to talk to.
- Comment on John Oliver faces defamation lawsuit from US healthcare medical director 2 weeks ago:
I love it.
It’s free advertising for John and creates a Streisand effect for the things he calls out.
I bet the old HBO absolutely loves it. Not certain about the new HBO owners.
- Comment on Anon orders food 2 weeks ago:
Same. I still think about the older gentleman who randomly told me my glasses had a cool icon on them. Made me glow for days.
- Comment on Clean butt 2 weeks ago:
I was like you a few years ago.
The crappy ones feel like that.
Then I sat on a fancy one that sang me a lullaby and gave me positive encouragement as I pooped. My god, my entire butthole is so fresh.
I now understand.
- Comment on Heyyy! 3 weeks ago:
Had a economics professor who wore cargo shorts and a hoodie to lecture halls. He rode a foldable bike and I’m pretty sure he skateboarded on weekends.
He was getting an achievement award for something and he goes in a full blown suit and tie. I asked him why he didn’t go in his usual clothes, and he said, “I need a couple more awards and sit at the top before I can do that.”
That’s my goal.
- Comment on Dig this trench to protect your landlord's ability to gouge your decendants. 3 weeks ago:
The pandemic showed us that we are willing to throw nice words around and call people heroes and then watch them melt down because nobody wants to work anymore to make my fajita.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 3 weeks ago:
Halo MCC version over the original.
I saw Halo running on a classic Xbox and tried to play with the clunky Xbox controller. Couldn’t do it. Everything looked so low res and blurry.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 3 weeks ago:
There’s something different between the two that I can’t put my finger on. Like everything feels a lot more solid?
I personally have a lot more memories of L4D and it’s cast of characters over L4D2.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 3 weeks ago:
I just played the original System Shock and System Shock 2. Incredible games.
I saw the trailer for the remake for the first one and wanted one last memory before I get my mind blown.
- Comment on Never send a text message when drunk 3 weeks ago:
Now I feel weird because I’ve been blasted drunk and still write pretty darn well.
Not so well sober, oddly enough.
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 3 weeks ago:
That felt like Civ 5.
Playing it on launch, it was so bare.
Playing the Complete version, it was finally fun to play.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 3 weeks ago:
Oh man I just remembered how great that could have been.
Red Dead 2 dealt with racist cults so elegantly.
And Far Cry 5’s “Oh we’re going there!” And making the most surface-level milquetoast bullshit I have ever seen.

Wait are you taking about cartoon mermaids and their skin color? You know, because of mermaid science?

My basic requirements is that it’s a good game from a respectable company.
And even if it is a good game by reviewer standards, Ubisoft has been an awful studio to the game industry for the past decade. From sexual harassment lawsuits to investing in web3, shutting down servers that causes single player games to lose features, having their own storefront, being creatively bankrupt with their releases, nickel and diming their product…
Not the worse mind you, but easily the bottom.
Buy it when it’s $5 on steam in a few years.

Commenter said Black Skin.
You said “finest detail”.
What are you smoking?
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 3 weeks ago:
Australian method actor and five-time Academy Award winner, Kirk Lazarus, can explain.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 3 weeks ago:
The story’s title is in reference to “The last of the Samurai”, not Tom being a Samurai, and the last one.
Kind of like Big Trouble in Little China, where the story follows a white guy.
That’s the narrative shared by the studio which I begrudgingly accept. Even though the title and Tom being the face of it muddles it a lot. And I also don’t consider it a good movie.

I hate that I’m on the same side as the racists though.
Thanks a lot Ubisoft.
