- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 1 week ago:
As someone who is likely on the spectrum, they can tell you are… off, in some way. I think we trigger some sort of anti-sociopath response in people that just makes everyone who doesnt take the time to know you is just feel uneasy. Coupled with the fact that we are anti-social. Theyre going to get the feeling like you intend harm, emotionally or physically.
People have litterally told me, “I thought you hated me” or “youre allright, I thought you were an asshole”. The reality is I do not want to be here and Id rather be anywhere else. Coworkers try to “break up the routine” and have a chat. But when my schedule is thrown off, i go home later, I eat later, I have less me time, I sleep less, and I blame them.
All that being said, Ive come to realize that being “in tune” with coworkers IS part of any job. You dont have to like them, but smiling at them, holding doors, offering help, making jokes, and being generally upbeat improves overall efficiency. It takes no time at all, and It will keep people from feeling like they need to "confront"you to get a feel for who you are. Its stupid but its how they feel “safe”.
If youre busy, politely dismiss conversations and move on. If you cant thats on you, If they get upset/pushy its on them. For being more friendly, I find that watching TV shows about social groups and structure helps alot. Personal favorites include “The Good Place”, “Community”, “Star Trek”, “Golden Girls”. I cant think of more off the top, but maybe you guys can help add some that resonate with you.

Youll seem smart but youre just going to be a flesh puppet to the AI. and the AI itself will have to be powered from a server so if that goes down your critical thinking, reasoning, and infinite repository of info disapears. Not to mention the repository of info is the internet and we all know how reliable people can be.

“Glue cheese, sand in the dough and small rocks to top it all off. Let me know if you have any other questions, Im glad to help!”

THE B&E JOKE! I actually still love this, his brand of over the top energy doesn’t always hit but the story really matches the energy. thank you for the laughs!

The link Is to a john mulaney bit where he has a friend who steals irreplacable family photos. Just to prove that this kind of senseless protest (like stealing a microwave dish or remote batteries) is infact comedy. I Have seen the bit you are referencing tho. I cannot remember the comedian for the life of me. I want to say dane cook but i havent watched him in YEARS and i cant find it.
- Comment on Can we talk about the Roblox situation? 3 weeks ago:
People Make Games reported them 3 YEARS AGO.
nothing was done then. Probably same thing is going to happen here. MAYBE roblox gets slightly better modderation, but i doubt it. The inceased modderation could also make the game unplayable for innocent users.
Worst part is that its such a lose lose situation roblox shutting down will remove acess to alot of the hard work the child slave devs did keeping the platform alive. People are going to miss roblox join private servers and boom back at square one. Club Penguin all over again.
I watched a bit of the content creator schlep and was honestly disapointed with how THIS type of content is what triggered this whole debacle. There have been plenty of other people exposing issues prior to this. but i guess if you put a scary thumbnail and read all the chat logs as if youre edging the whole time… whatever gets the preds off the intetnet ig I can at least be happy that people are FINALLY talking about it again.
People have been kidnapped! For fucks sake.

- Comment on Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks 3 weeks ago:
The world needs tractors and consumer-grade cars. They both have use cases. If what you need is a tractor, and you’re comfortable with the fact that it’s not going to work like a car, then a tractor will do things that are totally impossible with a Hyundai Elantra.
have not considered this perspective, and rolling with the metaphor Linux users are essentially rolling down main street with unsightly tractors telling car people how much better it is owning a tractor. when in reality we should be more honest a tractor is simply not for everyone. that being said I agree Arch fedora and nixos were the most user friendly tractors ive used, and similarly have not tried Bazzite, Steamos or chromeos but im hoping they become the “pickup trucks” of the PC world
- Comment on Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks 3 weeks ago:
by all means wait, I recommend trying it but eventually bazzite, steamos, nixos or fedora will take so much market share that your experience will be indistinguishable from windows or simply better.
Also I agree we all have less time with the state of the world right now but when you solve or even just point out a problem on windows or linux you’re making the experience better for other users. If you want to look at yourself like an upaid beta tester thats fine but id rather be working towards improving the software that is free and open source even if its alot less convenient or simple.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks 3 weeks ago:
I want to say you’re wrong but damn not 20 mins before reading this did I just type into my search engine [“issue x” Arch wayland gnome nvidia grub] to help narrow down my query to my specific system. I will say that once I do this though Im usually met with pretty much exactly what Im looking for or at least a small group of people working toward a solution. It takes getting used to but Im overall much happier with my experience on Linux because like you said its not a 5050 whether i can fix the problem or not, I CAN but now its all about how much time im willing to invest or the community has already invested. With more people moving everyday I can watch my experience get better and better as the community improves everything.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks 4 weeks ago:
This was the most confusing thing to me when getting started with linux It was baffling to me that jumping from different distros would completely change how i had to install packages or push me to use flatpak. I genuinely could not wrap my head around how there were no universally accepted binaries between distros. And hes talking about this years ago before recent mass adoption…
I landed on an arch based distro because it seems like they have the most universal solution after jumping around. Curious to know, what distro In your opinion the closest to “getting it right”? Open to all not just @PhilipTheBucket

- Comment on Anon plays Skyrim 1 month ago:
Yeah, there were. but you could still argue that the cave plants still require a small amount of sun similar to real world moss, and if not it was probably a fungus or bacteria that can survive with no light.
This is what i assume the falmer would be mainly eating since they live in said enviorments. Meaning humans could potentially adapt to eat the same diet. Not even needing to use magic to farm as previously stated.
- Comment on Anon plays Skyrim 1 month ago:
If you can prove skyrim’s plants and animals need sun to survive then his plan is stupid. Otherwise, its magic and theres no sound logic to anything so it wasnt worth mentioning in a fantasy setting.
The falmore adapted to live without sun, humans would do the same.
Also magic might be able to produce UV rays to allow mages and farmers to still grow crops.

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat Deception, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks.
They tried that. It was not good.
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 3 months ago:
Agreed, Its barely a zelda game but regardless of how easy the puzzles were, they were fun. But yes there were too many and 100%ing the game was an absolute slog because of the similarity between alot of the shrines
“Combat was tedious” sure. If your bad at the game, alot of attacks are parryable and weapons and food are craftable. Even if i wasnt equipped to deal with a situation the enviorment always provides alternative ways to deal with enemies.
“zelda dungeons were the cornerstone of game design” I have to disagree zelda dungeons have always been either bullshit or as you put it mind numbingly easy and tedious. They were innovative for sure, but they were often obnoxiously long. Stopping for a few days and coming back to the game youd forget wtf you were doing and why. The music however i agree with, botw does not have a single track i remember off the top of my head.
The story was always trash. Except majoras mask and minish cap. But i agree about the cutscenes, Its not hard to tell a story through gameplay, so its lazy for sure.
All that said, i never gave botw a shining review. I just said that they actually TRIED something different. Even if it wasnt executed that well.
ALSO how tf are you not going to mention the final boss fight of botw? That shit had my jaw on the floor with how tedious and ass that was.
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 3 months ago:
Breath of the wild definitely comes to mind. The combat and puzzles in that game are an absolute treat. The amount of tools they give the player is unlike anything ive played before, heres a decent clip as an example
But before that… yeah mario galaxy and metroid prime were pretty much all i can think of off the top of my head.
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 3 months ago:
nintendo does not want you to play their old titles, theyve been quoted saying “emulation stifles innovation” to me this just says that we cant play old games because it makes their new ones look bad. Nintendo is pulling a call of duty on us, just re-releasing games with a fresh coat of paint and a new gimmick for example MK with its new open world. Zelda with an open world. Smash brothers, Pokemon… you get it. Dont get me wrong i love these games and IPs, but the games have barely changed since 64. I will say the new DK and MK titles look great, but Ill just wait till we can fully emulate switch 2 and keep my money.
Plus i wont have to worry about them bricking my PC. The last good hardware theyve released was the 3ds and wii u. but they only became great when the modding scene stepped in and made them so. They are clearly worried about the modding scene, dumping games, and adding emulators for old titles. To me, nintendo is dead and has been for a while. The dev teams within nintendo are still pushing out gold. Whilst everyone else there is looking to fuck over the consumer.

Agreed, but i was just speaking in general after mentioning specific examples. Sorry for the lack of clarity.
But to build on your point, You could make the argument that anything that has been uploaded to the internet cannot be scrubbed. most normal people use the internet completely differently than we do. Removing something from Steam, or Epic for most normal people its gone forever. I know for example my parents would never be able to find a movie/show again if its removed from Netflix or HBO.
