I wonder if he ever got to realize that his lasting contribution to humanity was going to be improving the sex lives of several entire generations.
- Comment on Corporate policy 1 week ago:
In my experience, it usually originates from India, but it’s catching on in the UK too.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 week ago:
You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.
Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.
- Comment on Attempted another Trek meal: Andorian cabbage soup and Norellian twist bread. 2 weeks ago:
Maybe its why the Andorians are blue?
- Comment on Honor student truth 3 weeks ago:
Like… Which YouTube conspiracy videos? Hard to find ones that aren’t a mouthpiece for some sort of political party, I could use some expert recommendations.
- Comment on A small art gallery in Japan just happened to have these pictures next to each other. And then it morphed into a popular meme template 4 weeks ago:
This interpretation of the meme doesn’t exactly predate genAI, but it does predate genAI becoming good enough to do this. We did have some weird stuff that google was messing with back then that was vaguely similar, but I don’t think we even called it AI at the time. It mostly made things that looked like LSD hallucinations.
I bought a copy on etsy for someone shortly after pandemic lockdown back in 2020. It’s been awhile, but seem to remember the artist having several more meme interpretations in a similar style.

Sometimes it is just about choosing which fight you want to have today.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 5 weeks ago:
Mastercard is living the corporate dream. They’ve colluded their way to a near monopoly and don’t have to care about the value of their brand. They just have to be invisible enough that they don’t pull heat for something or other from various governments.
- Comment on It would get old fast 5 weeks ago:
In a neighborhood like that, you’d probably end up with a fine and they’d charge you to ‘fix’ it for you.
- Comment on It would get old fast 5 weeks ago:
Fuck, yeah, I mean 7 friends seems like a lot to manage.
- Comment on hygiene 5 weeks ago:
Could be just poop, but combining old man smell, body odor and mold will make some gnarly stench. Still someone needs to get out the cleaning supplies.
- Comment on Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash 5 weeks ago:
If you’re basing your value judgement on the price of similar games on the market right now then no, it’s very very unlikely to be worth 70. There are critically acclaimed open world games that will likely beat this on content and potential enjoyment / play time for $5-10 right now.
Realistically, we’re paying for the novelty though, if you’re desperate for something new it might work. I told myself my price point was $60, but there will probably be some sort of discount on the way to or shortly after launch day for the PC version.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 month ago:
People have tried to setup a federated alternative to Tinder/etc and other things, but population is still real low and we’re still kind of weird. The sparse demographic info we have is also more than a bit skewed, it’s rough.

Don’t even have to make it symmetrical my friend, I am still down.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 month ago:
Good is relative, you forget all coffee you’ve had previously and keep access to your current coffee. All other coffee is permanently worse than this one going forward.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 month ago:
If it lets me breathe properly and consistently living in the south, I don’t even care, throw another one on the other side of my face too as a backup just in case.
- Comment on Max Hardcore and the Zodiac killer give updates on likely preventable flood deaths 2 months ago:
THAT MAN ATE MY SON.
I’m just saying, it’s hard to prove that he’s not the Zodiac Killer.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 2 months ago:
There’s been a rumor floating around that it never existed as a game anyways and that the footage they do have is faked. It’s definitely a bit out there, but with the way they’ve acted about it, I kinda believe it.
- Comment on In the side-scroller automation game Sandustry every single pixel is a simulated resource 2 months ago:
The demo feels fairly complete. I lost a ton of time in it, you could play it right now.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 2 months ago:
I already addressed that, but more than one party can shoulder blame at the same time, not everything is black and white.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 2 months ago:
It sounds nice, and yeah, that’s primarily publisher responsibility, but developers are allowed to talk to their publishers about pricing strategy. Framing it as if they have zero responsibility is a bit of a cop out. Limited comments and we don’t have the full story, but it makes it kind of sound like they didn’t even bring it up.
- Comment on RimWorld - Odyssey will bring spaceship building, exploration and a lot more content 2 months ago:
Yeah, not wrong, is kind of annoying, but is also cool. SOS2 has always been a special mod in rimworld, great concept but long gaps between breaking updates and fixes. I totally get it too, the scope on SOS2 is kinda crazy for a mod, it’s a lot. If you were going to replicate a rimworld mod as DLC, I can’t imagine a better one to pick.
I do wonder how the SOS2 team is reacting. I hope they take the opportunity to scale back on some of the pieces they have to maintain and try to bring some of the stuff that doesn’t make it into the official DLC into the newer versions.

It’s been too long, I don’t know if I remember my voice any other way.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 3 months ago:
Nah, it’s been awhile, but I’ve been an electrician. When you get a foreman who has made it to that special level of asshole, your give a fuck starts to run out incredibly fast. Even if you’re not the kind of guy who would do this yourself, someone working with you probably is.
With that said, I don’t think this would pass code, but I’m honestly curious as to which part it violates specifically. The wire doesn’t look like it’s secured properly at least, but this might be one of those things where this is where they learn that they need to write some new passages.
- Comment on Polar bears 3 months ago:
Bear doesn’t view something our size as even remotely a threat. We’re assuming the bear isn’t hungry and just not that interested.

Id personally be more scared of the chimp. The gorilla is mostly a peaceful animal.
- Comment on What's the next stop on the authoritarianism express? 4 months ago:
Burning still has too much of a negative connotation.
They’ll pressure to expand more on banning books in schools, public libraries, pull public funding and restrict government aid payouts for universities unless they follow suit. They’ll let states decide that they can ban books for sale unless the site forces an age check. They’ll give responsibility for the age check system to a corporation that is expected to do a lackluster job and wash their hands of it when there are complaints. Maybe some day they’ll step in to ‘fix’ it resulting in taking it down for maintenance and restructuring and then they just… never bring it back up.

There will never be another quite like Ronnie James Dio.

Zen koans are basically ancient memes.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 4 months ago:
Hasn’t this Bethesda helmed Oblivion remake been in the rumors and ‘eventually’ stage since around 2021-2022? Feel like skyblivion team has had plenty of time to get used to it at this point, but has something changed recently to make the bethesda version more relevant?
