Sorry, I didn’t mean literally a week and to tell them first. I meant if enough people did this they would start to see the results of their effort in about one week.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 days ago:
Its literally so easy most of the time. Once or twice a year something comes out that I really want to use / play. Its the two times per year I “suffer.”. The rest is stuff I probably would have tried and played but its now so far off my radar they’ll never see a cent again (unless of course there is a major overhaul in whatever co’s business model; happy to return with a change).
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 days ago:
Yup. People can’t sacrifice anything these days to make a statement.
What is especially frustrating is how quickly these corporations would fold under pressure. Take a principled position for 1 week and watch what happens.

Republicans don’t know how to take a joke directed at them, so unless they were absolutely outraged by something on the show, you can safely assume they did not get it.

Hey sorry you had cancer; glad you survived.
I mean that, but you are bringing some weird antagonist monologue energy to this thread.
Difficult sliders are simply bad for certain games, soulsborne games are one of them.
You are also robbing your own experience BTW. Give yourself a fair shot at beating these games without taking the easy route.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 5 days ago:
Idk if soul players need to learn anything. Not your style of game thats fine, but all fights in souls games are fair in the sense that anyone can eventually beat it with practice, or overleveling, or innate skill (those who have, ahem, gotten good), and any combination of the three.
Have known a lot of people who played dark souls at a time in their life where they needed the lesson of getting up after getting knocked down.

My favorite meme of the day, can’t take credit but forgot who posted it.
- Comment on My Local Public Tennis Court Requires Online Registration 2 weeks ago:
All of this just adds unnecessary friction.
- Comment on "it only takes one slow walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that you're a nice person." 2 weeks ago:
I’ll be patient most of the time, but this isn’t a one way street. The other person should also have situational awareness to make room, not block the entire path, not jackknife their cart. Also my desire to go fast is equally as valid as their desire to meander / dilly dally. As long as I’m not running them over there is nothing wrong with shopping at my pace, saying excuse me, or passing them when they are taking too long.
- Comment on Fuck IMDB and fuck Amazon 2 weeks ago:
Comes in rightfully complaining about enshitification & then hits us with a wild curveball about preferring an app (which all but ensures you will need to login, yes connecting with your google / apple account is logging in).

Probably doxxing people in real time, what a creep.

You use these as an accessibility device?

A quarter is the perfect thickness to wedge into a key to keep it pressed
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Lol wut? Why are you gatekeeping cooking. You want to apply that to a microwaved dinner, fair enough, but using a frozen / dry / reheated ingredient as part if your meal still 100% counts as cooking.

I believe you but do you have any links. This is wild
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 3 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree with you but I also have to assume there are contracts / stipulations in place that prevent a publisher from doing this after sony/microslop/Nintendo agree to sell digital / physical copies if your game.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC 4 weeks ago:
His argument makes no sense. What he is saying is that game devs will fall behind competition if they have to disclose AI use… Which correctly implies that customers will not buy products in the AI category… Which means clients don’t want AI snuck into games. This means he would rather sell you games with AI against your consent than be transparent.
The problem he proposes only exists in his universe where AI is not disclosed versus on steam where those companies that use AI are now actually falling behind those that don’t.
- Comment on I want it to slap me across the face 4 weeks ago:
Right on, honestly that doesn’t even sound like the mud I meant in my original post. I enjoy a dark roast too with those toasty notes. I used the light cherry caramel example to add effect since the person / coffee I’m talking about is the person who fills the basket to the brim of folgers dark roast, leaves it on the burner and drinks black burnt coffee all day.
- Comment on I want it to slap me across the face 4 weeks ago:
ITT: Folks who don’t know a light roast has more caffeine than dark, and muddier coffee does not equate to more caffeine.
- Comment on I want it to slap me across the face 4 weeks ago:
I would argue you only like it that way due to exposure to other mis guided coffee drinkers and if you had a chance to reset your tastes you’d come to love a nice light to medium roast with hints of cherry and caramel.
- Comment on I want it to slap me across the face 4 weeks ago:
People who drink mud for tough guy points are cringe.

This room fucks; the whole floor they rented at the convention was probably a blast.
- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 2 months ago:
It only becomes normalized if we continue using those services… If these co’s saw a meaurable reduction in engagement after implenting these rules they would back peddle. The almighty dollar is king afterall.

First time you do it it’s a little (or a lot) intimidating, but eventually you figure it out
- Comment on Windows Updates Evolution 3 months ago:
One of the first impressive things you notice on Linux is how smooth the update is (barring any odd ones where manual intervention is required). For most distros it’s anywhere from 1 to 3 commands in terminal followed by a reboot. No nonsense of rebooting 2-3x like windows.

Nah you tell em
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 3 months ago:
Force compatability per game under preferences. Can pin a version for pragmata and still change things system wide for other games if you are tinkering
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 3 months ago:
Why the hell are you changing proton 5x lol?
It literally works out of the box.
- Comment on Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days 3 months ago:
That’s not even tru tho. Played all weekend on Linux
- Comment on A Game Pass for indie games: meet Indie Pass, a $6.99-a-month subscription launching with 70 titles 3 months ago:
Where did you get this impression. I refund games all the time with no issue, warning or not.
Also I doubt devs would prefer I never try their game versus trying it and maybe enjoying it.
