  It may be possible that a work incident has made it so hearing your name in passing making you twitch is because it’s always used in a non-positive way.

  I worked at a toxic workplace and if I ever heard my name that wasn’t directly at me, it was because someone was sharing drama that involved me. Or I was being mocked. Or worse, they were preparing to rip into me.

  My new job, everyone is pretty positive and if I hear my name across the hall, I’m excited.

  Have you considered getting a R tattoo on your left hand and a L tattoo on your right hand?

  Whoosh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“You are the most hated demographic at game events.” A major Japanese indie game showcase is waging war on “unsolicited advice dudes”⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You should try giving better feedback.

  I mean I see it all the time in steam forums and social media.

  Gamers taking one look at a screenshot or trailer video, and immediately giving their take about how it “should be”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a AI update⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You have non-smart knives that don’t have a usb3 port for updates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Part of internet most harmful to teens?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep! Seeing a titty isn’t the same as wanting to restrict women’s rights and wanting to lock up immigrants for existing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Part of internet most harmful to teens?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely this.

  YouTube is a fucking fascism treadmill.

  I don’t even have an account and I watch a YouTube video from Lemmy, and the next recommended video is some “influencer” flaming the hate train but disguised as a pseudo thought piece.

  Not much in my opinion. They lose a few points of satisfaction, roll back a tiny bit with a new release, then push their ad agenda again.

  Most of the world is still happy eating their shit, just like it always has been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨great entertainment⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But if they aren’t real, why do they always come out of the woodwork when there’s a woman as the lead character?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon teaches you about their culture⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean like Pokemon Team Rocket, or like Home Alone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good, solid cables for charging and data transfer?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep! Anker has been making the rounds as a reliable company over the past few years. But they got something sketch about them.

  I bought a dozen Anker products during the pandemic because they were reliable and affordable. But after the eufy thing, I dug deeper and my tin foil hat is on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tryna catch me riding dirty⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t recommend this but I have a story.

  This is twenty years ago, and weed wasnt legal. I was getting kicked out of a casino for being stupid and arguing with the dealer. But they didn’t just kick me out, they brought me to “the backrooms”. They said they plan to call the cops, and In hindsight, I think it was a fake threat. But since I’m carrying weed brownies, I panicked and ate them. I usually consume a 1/2 a bar. But in that panic, I ate 3 whole bars.

  While still sober, they finally kick me out, no cops.

  Then while walking back to my motel, the brownies kicked in and I did not have a good time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tryna catch me riding dirty⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a old person. Is that somebody important?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've been waiting for this for a long time.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly its one of those games where I recommend people pirate and if you like it or feel like you got a lot out of it and think they do deserve it, pay for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much this.

  People have shared how Costco would work with farms and say, “Well pay you less per product, but we’re order a magnitude more than your next buyer. Enough that you can retire next year.”

  The numbers are insane.

  Which is a shame, because it’s the only DQ game I haven’t played because it’s a MMO and not translated into English.

  Oh great that’s what we need from this administration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Zelda: Link to the Past.

  How it shapes how I view games is how Zelda creates a lot of subconscious rules we take for granted until we see it not being used.

  For example:

  You’ll often find the “locked door” before finding the key.

  You’ll see the treasure chest at the end, but no way to get there.

  You see the cracked walls with no bombs.

  A lot of puzzles are clearly pointing out the problems without words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As expected. Many people just see it as an opportunity to talk about their favorite games. That’s okay.

  Shit. I did all that and it summoned Beelzebub, Lord of Flies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To make video games for Gen Z, be authentic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount of indie games that pay a company to market for them to create pure marketing garbage is too high.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have a good day <3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait. Italians claim Mac and cheese?

  I always thought it was an American thing. Because Americans love pouring cheese over everything.

  I came to say that too! It was body horror and glorious. 4 arms in the wrong place? Eyes in funny places.

  From my experience - people who abuse AI don’t see AI’s cracks any longer. Their writing changes. How they see things.

  It’s like the plastic surgery people. They don’t realize how weird and off-putting they look.

  Okay honestly I want that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I were to go out steal 34 cars. And charged with 34 felonies. One per each car. Could I not use the presidents case in defense of my own? Why or why not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The unspoken rule in the eyes of society is that people are granted certain privileges.

  This is not to be confused by privileges defined by law.

  These privileges are unspoken, because they differ between people and place, cultures, race, experience, education, etc. Things that you might have but another person might not. It’s deeply rooted in society, and near invisible to those who aren’t aware of the privileges they don’t have.

  To use an example: You are a doctor. Your work provided you with a office, and items for you to do your work. One of those items is an iPad, which you use to take notes and access the internal medical records. One day, you take that iPad home and let your kids play with it.

  The company noticed you installed a game, which is against company rules and is a fire-able offense. But, your status as a doctor means that if they fire you, they’ll lose a lot. The patient workload would increase, and finding a replacement would take a long time.

  Even though you, the doctor, broke a rule, the company decides that it was an honest mistake and lets you off with a warning.

  Here’s where the privilege comes in. You, the doctor, just got away with it. What else can you get away with?

  As a doctor, you now KNOW that you have a high status in the company and they have to weigh the pros and cons of firing you.

  So maybe you, the doctor, start taking snacks home that was meant for the whole team. Maybe you start telling the new interns about how cute their little butts are. Maybe you start taking huge turds and not flushing.

  Each action, the company has to go: Do I fire this doctor and lose how much we gain from them? And chances are, they won’t. Because the rules you broke are too “minor” and it would be an inconvenience to the company. The company found ways to convince themselves to keep you even though you clearly broke the rules.

  Let’s switch it. You’re a janitor at this hospital. You are minimum wage. You tell a intern how cute their butt is. Instant fire. Because to the company, you’re easily replaceable, your absence would be a minor hiccup.

  With the president, the people behind the scenes are asking themselves, “Well he really did call black people monkeys, bomb a school of girls, rape underage girls… (Laundry list of bs here), but if we removed him, will it be a major inconvenience to our operations of making money/power/influence?” And the answer is unfortunately yes to those people.

  If they asked the same question about you, the answer will be way different.
