Gamers, or vulnerable populations like gambling addicts?

You know, this may sound silly, but you just taught me something about myself with just that one word. I have never had the experience of not having privacy. My parents let me close my bedroom door and would not just barge in without knocking. I have never lived with anyone as an adult who would violate my privacy either. I’ve never needed to consider privacy in that way because I have never lacked it. A sort of privilege I had I hadn’t realized until you said that.

I’ve never understood shower wanks. Water is a terrible lubricant.

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 month 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.

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 5 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.

- Comment on ‘Escape From Tarkov’ Coming To Steam In the Coming Weeks 6 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.
