I have 4 and a quad monitor mount. 3 would have been fine. 4 is useful sometimes though.

It’ll make more sense if you look at his comment history a bit.
- Comment on Blizzard reportedly partnering with Arc Raiders owner Nexon to revive StarCraft as a shooter 1 week ago:
You’re arguing against a position nobody stated. My criticism isn’t that an IP ever appears in another genre. It is the pattern of publishers repurposing established strategy franchises into monetization-friendly live-service shooters because that market is larger and more predictable.
Warhammer is a poor comparison. Games like Vermintide didn’t replace or redefine Warhammer; they existed alongside a still-supported core genre identity. The RTS space around StarCraft has effectively been abandoned for years. So when the first meaningful revival rumor turns out to be a shooter, I read it less as expansion and more as substitution.
If Blizzard announced a new RTS and also a shooter spin-off, I would not be critical. The reaction is about genre displacement, not genre diversification.

Let’s take something arguably genre defining and turn it into a fad chaser! Great idea.

- Comment on Lawmaker Sues to Remove Trump’s Name From the Kennedy Center | Representative Joyce Beatty, Democrat of Ohio, argues that only Congress is authorized to rename the D.C. performing arts institution. 1 month ago:
I don’t understand these procedures at all. If he didn’t have the authority to change it, undo whatever he did and move on. Treat it like the vandalism it is. Why does this orange piece of shit get to just do whatever he wants? Fuck.

- Comment on Wear your seatbelt 4 months ago:
I had someone once put their seatbelt on when I asked, and then took it off again once I was moving. So I pulled over and said to put it back on, and keep it on, or get ready for a lung walk.
The audacity of some people.

My guess it that they’ll do some financial fuckery that shouldn’t be legal, and may not even be, and come away with profit leaving someone holding the bag.

Chatgpt recognized something I gave it was gibberish, and suggested maybe it was an inside joke or intentional nonsense.

- Comment on ‘Escape From Tarkov’ Coming To Steam In the Coming Weeks 5 months ago:
I heard that game has a really bad problem with cheaters. Addressing that seems like it would take precedence over getting the game on Steam. You only get one shot to make a first impression and all.

- Comment on Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers 7 months ago:
I have never been an Asmon watcher, so I don’t know if his political content does better than his WoW content, but he’s been a top streamer for a while. Well before he started doing political stuff. He was also renowned for being a disgusting moron, so the political side he picked makes sense.

Iirc the creators said they’ll never put it on sale because that’s unfair to people who paid the full price. The price is the price for Factorio.
