- Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital" 1 week ago:
Good point, I’m guessing it probably falls short of physical media in that way. As I understand it, they let you download an install file for the games you purchase, which you can save and use offline. I doubt that publishers would put effort into enabling a second hand games market

What nonsense. What matters isn’t whether we use physical disks or not. And it’s all digital anyway, you don’t get many games on vinyl these days. The real issue is whether you own the games you buy. As GOG is proving, game ownership is something that publishers can easily offer, regardless of the delivery mechanism.

Don’t buy this product. It doesn’t give you +10 health at all. If they could fix that issue, it would be good though. Also if it could give you immunity to tasers.
- Comment on Loosing my religion 3 weeks ago:
The problem with conglomerating your craziness is that whatever it conglomerates around becomes socially and politically powerful, and whatever ethos it presents tends to be deeply flawed. Self reflection and the capacity to doubt your delusions is a really important skill set for jumped up apes trying to function at a higher level, and unfortunately that’s just generally discouraged in religion. The belief system must protect and promote itself. So instead you end up supporting a bunch of pedophiles who want to fuck up the entire world, and getting all giddy about that because you just can’t wait for Jebus to come back and save us all. Still, if we could all agree that when you join a religion you give up your right to vote, perhaps that would be good enough.

Let’s not forget the extent to which these movies have inspired people to bitch about them on the internet. If that’s not a cultural impact I don’t know what is.
- Comment on How to sexualize males for a female audience? 2 months ago:
I guess that’s one of the less-acknowledged reasons why you see more sexualization of women in games. It costs next to nothing in terms of game design. Take any game, slap a scantily clad woman on it and bam, you’ve significantly increased your appeal to male audiences. To do the same for female audiences you have to build the entire game around that requirement.

Imagine looking in the mirror in the morning thinking why are my eyelashes so tickly, and suddenly they start running around all over your face. This is why you should always keep a flamethrower in the bathroom

The traditional way is to scoop out your eyeballs and blast bug spray into the sockets. Can’t say it recommend it as they just tend to take refuge in the brain, and if you don’t kill them you’ll really piss them off. Better just to cancel all your TV subscription services and read 18th century literature for at least 6 hours a day. There is a fair chance they will just get bored and leave of their own accord.

As a doctor, I can assure you that there is never any buildup of eyelashes behind your eyeball. The spiders eat them all.

- Comment on North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet. 3 months ago:
Imagine what a tiny increment in their profit margins this will produce, what an infinitesimal impact it will have on the wealth, and standard of living of a handful of individuals. And for this you fuck up an irreplaceable natural heritage which is there for the whole world. It shows that the value such people place on the natural world is zero or less. Maybe they hate it because they don’t understand why normal people love it. Maybe it’s just that they will feel richer when they have made us all poorer.
- Comment on North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet. 3 months ago:
It makes my fucking blood boil and I don’t even live in the USA. For all the problems your country has, the parks, the forestry, the public land and wild spaces are a truly outstanding and precious asset. Something to be defending tooth and nail. So of course Trump would want to destroy all of that, because if he didn’t, you could still make the case that he hadn’t really irredeemably and permanently ruined every single aspect of the country.

OK but hear me out here, I think I have the beginnings of a business plan:

Profit
Some components of the plan are still under development, but let’s not lose momentum here. We can advance with the initial phase while brainstorming to refine the plan in real time as we progress. It’s an exciting opportunity and we mustn’t forfeit our first-to-market advantage.
