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

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

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 2 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.

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? 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced 4 weeks ago:
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? 4 weeks 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.

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

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

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? 4 weeks 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.

- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely this.
There was an anonymous confession page at my college and it became a place where people would share how they treat other students/staff like shit. And some were just hateful like “I’ll never date a [race]”.
It kept going for years and was just a toxic place.

I’m pretty sure it is not illegal to say how you just like seeing dead bodies, even if it’s your own commander.
You’re not threatening anybody. You’re just sharing preferences.

This is incredible. I just got this game for my kiddo and was looking for information out there as she’s asking for help.
And here you already built something so useful, and so quickly too!
Thank you!
- Comment on Its Over 😔 1 month ago:
Thats how it is when you’re mature and comfortable with your life. I’m in my 40s and text my buddy once a season and hang out every other year. We got lives.
Honestly every time I see these posts, it just comes off like they’re young and used to that school life where their friendship was based on if they went to the same class or not.
