- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 1 day ago:
You don’t. They’re beyond help.
- Comment on Life is Strange: Reunion officially announced, will conclude the Max and Chloe saga | VGC 3 days ago:
You ask me it was concluded in the first game.
- Comment on What should the next President of the United States do? 2 weeks ago:
Abuse power in the same way trump is, ignore laws, and do so with the effort to actually make the country decent.
That will never happen though. Instead if we get a dem president (which I doubt there’s going to even be a fair election) it’ll be right back to the crap they always do. No progress, and by the next republican president we’d definitely be a full dictatorship. But we’re already at that point so this is just pointless hypotheticals. It’s going to be a long and dark decade for the US and I doubt it’s going to survive as a single country by 2035.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 2 weeks ago:
Main thing I’m sad about is deltarune not winning the soundtrack category.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 2 weeks ago:
Steam awards are pretty much always like this. Popularity over the actual category itself.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
Hostile takeover is basically the only way I could see this country changing.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 3 weeks ago:
Means the only solution is the guillotine sadly.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
It’s… Not really a scam so much as a thing for weird cranks who think the apocalypse is coming. If you have gold then you have gold. And gold will likely hold its value for a long time because it’s a rare resource. Unless we find some alchemy that turns common materials into it, it will likely stay that way. So if you buy gold at market value then you can always sell it later at market value, and that market value is almost guaranteed to be higher than when you bought it.
The people who are really into it though are the weird cranks. And I’d imagine certain stocks or even bonds are arguably better returns in the same time span.
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 2 months ago:
I really like Rabi-ribi
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 months ago:
To be fair, I don’t watch either of those youtubers. So I had no knowledge of this.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Do what you find morally best in that situation. Loyalty to a nation is honestly stupid to begin with. Use your brain and think. And if that means staying out of it, then stay out of it.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
I don’t know if it’ll be VR but the short version is there’s a lot of code in the source 2 updates that directly point to the development of a new half-life game.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
With the fact there’s apparently surprisingly reasonable evidence of a new half life game, I wonder if that’s likely to get announced when they give these a release date. I could see them bundling it with the steam machines at least. Assuming the rumors turn out to be true.

- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 2 months ago:
I thought Tumblr was the hellsite
Damn Twitter really DOES steal everything from there…
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 2 months ago:
Okay but hasn’t AMD been making GPUs long before she was with the company
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Honestly nothing makes me feel more disconnected with the general gaming populace than the sheer popularity of extraction shooters. Every single one of them looks and sounds unfun. Also they tend to look incredibly generic.
But they’re popular so what do I know.
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 3 months ago:
I recommend giving graffiti kingdom a try. It’s a 3d platform er where you draw your own character.
- Comment on Day 438 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 months ago:
I’ve been playing 7 remake a bit and I know a lot of additions were meant to flesh out the world in what’s actually a really small chunk of the original game. But I found a lot of the additions, though not all, to feel more like unnecessary padding than good fleshing out.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 months ago:
I buy CDs a lot. I love CDs. I love ripping them.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 3 months ago:
I’m a novice when it comes to the language as a heads up. But my understanding is that generally most of these incredibly vulgar ways of saying “you” came about because they were originally actually respectful ways of referring to someone. But as time passed, people began using them ironically. So a term that was originally respectfully used to refer to someone of higher status is now only used if you’re basically cursing someone out.
Japanese doesn’t really have swear words, it’s mostly just words that are incredibly disrespectful or otherwise inappropriate for certain context.
There’s also 貴様 (kisama) which is basically so comically rude because, to my understanding, saying it implies everyone is inferior to you by default.

An incredibly vulgar way of saying “you” in Japanese.
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 3 months ago:
The intense racism on steam is seriously fucked up. And it’s ever-present.
The game does look fun though. It kinda reminds me of that old 2D Mirror’s Edge game for old iPhones but a lot better.
- Comment on Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handhelds Cost Up to $999.99, Preorders Open Now 3 months ago:
Way not worth it for me. Justifiable price for it’s performance? Maybe. That doesn’t actually matter to me. I bought a steam deck years ago. I bought a switch 2. Power is not my big concern with these systems. I have a proper PC for that. I want a reasonable portable system that can play the kinds of games I’d like to play while waiting somewhere. While laying in bed. While sitting outside because it’s a nice day. I don’t need insane hardware for that. The games that need that I’d play on my computer.
At the same time a Microsoft product these days screams garbage anyway.
- Comment on Both Sega and PocketPair are taking jabs at Nintendo and I'm loving it 3 months ago:
I mean I have no actual respect for any of these companies. Their goal is money before anything else. Them “taking shots” at one another is meaningless to me.
- Comment on Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70 4 months ago:
Why couldn’t you believe that? So many other games announce whole season passes before launch. This is super common.
- Comment on Modder injects AI dialogue into 2002’s Animal Crossing using memory hack 4 months ago:
I can’t imagine this would be any less soulless feeling.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 4 months ago:
Story matters in a lot of games to me. But not in borderlands. I play borderlands for the looting and shooting basically. And 3’s the best at that. Though I’ve heard 4 is even better still in that regard.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 4 months ago:
3 was the best out of all of them from a gameplay perspective. People don’t like the story but I never cared for any of the borderlands stories personally.
- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 4 months ago:
The issue is the many people who complain when a game or other media have women that look like actual women. Calling them men because they don’t look like the perfectly sexualized women in media that they’re used to.
Yes they can’t tell the difference, but they’re still doing real harm.
