the hateful transphobic shithead behind retroarch
Brand new concept to me, we cant have anything nice.

Follow on question : would it be enjoyable (or even possible) just 2 players?
I only have one friend…
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 1 week ago:
Like when you look at the list of custom games, instead of just being weird and wonderful game modes and “chill no kill VC 18+” there was also “regular overwatch being played by regular people”
- Comment on Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division 1 week ago:
They had the Kinect which (ignoring all the negative press surrounding it) fucking slapped, and could easily have been integrated with a VR headset for full-body VR.
They have Blizzard which im pretty sure means they can put WoW on xbox but don’t even seem to have started.
They’re positioned to have the greatest console of all time and they’re just fucking around instead. It’s maddening.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 1 week ago:
Its weird how annoying the battle pass system is. On the one hand I get it, they want that sweet battle pass money that everyone else is getting, and I don’t really care about cosmetics anyway.
On the other hand, I paid full price for 1, and was willing to pay for the PvE, and it feels like they just said “fuck you pay me” out of nowhere.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 1 week ago:
I really wish there were custom games where they just play like quick play. I do believe its one of the best games out if not for the players. You either meet Sweaty Eddie who’s on the mic telling you to kill yourself because he thinks youre not winning hard enough, or the guy who thinks the game is to stand there and spam “hello” and the dance emote at the enemy.
I very very rarely get a game where people are just playing the game and enjoying themselves.
- Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you? 1 week ago:
within your normal viewing habits
Im now scared of having to show just mountains of specific soft core fetish porn to a whole room of people and be like “yep. Nightly mate.”
- Comment on Is there a medieval equivalent of the youtube channel "Primative Technology" 2 weeks ago:
Over one thousand years before Belgian Techno anthem Pump Up The Jam.
- Comment on when is "cool" fine and when is it rude? 2 weeks ago:
My wife does that. She’ll say she’s not mad and that she’s fine but the messages start ending with a.
Thats when I know im in trouble.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 2 weeks ago:
Oh my god I met a few of those people. Every single person that died they’d say it was the vaccine. Every time a headline about a celebrity that dies “yeah they SAY it was cancer, but they took the vaccine only 6 months ago, know what im saying? Open your eyes!”
Like mate, people aren’t just going to stop dying.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 2 weeks ago:
Better get it on the flag then ig
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 2 weeks ago:
Thats way too busy. Should definitely just keep the rainbow flag. Not every little niche needs specific representation, just have the rainbow as a catchall for any kind of deviation from heterosex
- Comment on 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo 2 weeks ago:
Im completely oblivious to any of the enshittification, but like any online game the fun is long gone for most people. Skill floor is way too high. As soon as you join a match youre completely outskilled by everybody and its clear youre nothing but a hindrance to your team.
Your opponents laugh at you and style as hard as they can and your teammates resent your existence, assuming they stick around long enough to make it clear.
Hyper-competitive games are fun for about 3 months and then youre either in or out.

- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 2 weeks ago:
Vandal Hearts on PS1. I think its probably not as good as I remember, but I was a small child and it said the word “Bastard” and that was the most adult media I’d been (unknowingly) allowed to consume. I played that game hard.

Im going to nominate one of these little guys
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 3 weeks ago:
- That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.
Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There’s going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that’s basically it.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 3 weeks ago:
Mega Man is a pretty sweet example, explained by this blast from the past.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 3 weeks ago:
In a way it’s more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.
As a kid my family wouldn’t play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn’t do co-op mode we didnt play, and they’d still get grumbly on co-op because I’d be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They’d play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.
As an e-sport or “compare your online rank to mine and weep” dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.
- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 3 weeks ago:
That’s exactly why I refuse to use tutorials from YouTube. I’m just here to learn the thing you said you were teaching in the title. Im not looking to smash that subscribe button and ding the bell and comment below if I want to see more and see how all your other videos were doing or learn about how you got started in whatever field this is or when the thing was invented or little known facts about the thing that is useless filler to get you up to 10 minutes and im still not interested in like and subscribing and I don’t want to hear about how grateful you are about getting to whatever number of subscribers you have and just get to the fucking topic you promised you bitch
- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 3 weeks ago:
Im going to need to go back and try it again, I don’t think i gave it enough time. I failed (because of course I did) about 5 times before giving up. Its a neat concept but it didnt get its hooks in me like everyone else says.
Without fullt spoiling it, does it have some kind of twist in it that I didnt give it a chance to do?
- Comment on What the fuck you 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely. I haven’t personally pirated anything since getting netflix years ago, but its looking more and more tempting to get back into it.
- Comment on What the fuck you 3 weeks ago:
Do it loudly and keep teaching others how to.
Steam taught us that piracy is a service issue and this shit right here is a service issue.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 4 weeks ago:
I sometimes wonder what I casually believe because I read it while scrolling for something interesting. I don’t have the time or inclination to fact check every single detail I come across.
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 4 weeks ago:
The display being at a higher resolution doesnt help either. Running retro games on my fancy flatscreen hi-def massive TV makes them look and feel so much worse than on the smaller fuzzy CRT screens of the time.
I can’t stand modern games with lower frame rates. I had to give up on Avowed and a few other late titles on the series S because it makes me feel sick when turning the camera. I assume most of the later titles on xbox will be doing this as theyre starting to push what the systems are capable of and the series S can’t really cope as well.
- Comment on What are you all looking forward to at Summer Games Fest? 4 weeks ago:
Fable 4 if it’s getting a mention. It’s the only game I’m actually excited for any more.
The only games I truly enjoyed these days have been unexpected indie hits that are impossible to predict, you don’t know theyre coming or good until they happen.
I don’t know why Fable is immune to my thickening shield of apathy, but basically every other game I see I just think “yeah it looks pretty but I’m pretty sure I played it 20 times before”
- Comment on Is this genocide denial? 4 weeks ago:
How could the dictionary be biased? Genuine question i promise im not piling on in bad faith or anything
- Comment on Are some people too stupid to feel depressed? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think so, but maybe in the extremes. There’s some people with such low IQ they have difficulty following cooking instructions on a microwave meal. It might be possible to have such limited capacity that they’re immune to depression.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah i can see wanting to do it of your own volition, my brother went the same way, but having one parent ask that of you is something else.
