You had me until the social justice comment.
Why can’t gamers appreciate diversity lol
- Comment on Anon institutes the draft 2 weeks ago:
It’s just par for the course on lemmy/the fediverse. Keep an eye for common conversations featuring, “I think your comment proving your morality isn’t enough, here’s how you could be even more!”
Idk why this place isl Ike this. Every damn comment section.
- Comment on Anon institutes the draft 2 weeks ago:
The story is definitely not real.
Responding to the story as if anyone actually believes this is an acceptable thing to do is moral grandstanding. No one is impressed that you think this is a bad thing. Everyone already knows this.
- Comment on Anon institutes the draft 2 weeks ago:
This is the most fediverse response I could have expected.
Hey everyone, this person is super moral.
- Comment on How would Sam Altman have any idea what humans enjoy? 2 weeks ago:
While we’re at it, should we also send the gun manufacturer CEO to prison when someone kills themself with a gun? The drug manufacturer CEO when someone intentionally ODs in a medicine?
What if someone takes poison meant for rats, should that CEO go to prison too?
Why would we hold someone responsible for someone else’s actions? I don’t think these people are good people, but maybe we should be realistic about who is to blame here.

I still think you’re over blowing the level the issue.

I mean, fair, but he’s not “head of multiple mega corporations with massive political sway” wealthy, he’s just “very successful film director for many years” wealthy.
Looking it up, he’s worth $250 million, or about 1/3200 the worth of Elon Musk.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Brother he’s a film director not a politician.

I have mostly swapped to reading Korean manwha instead of Manga because of this. Going back and reading some of the Manga I used to like is a bit of a shock as a full grown adult now. So much is geared to young, horny teens.

I think this is just normal. I felt the same way traveling in Europe. I think it’s just the combination of being in an unfamiliar place and standing out as a traveler. A lot of scammers target travelers intentionally.

Brother, what?
- Comment on get quacked idiot! 1 month ago:
I’m signaling that: it’s not such a serious thing and the fact that they even commented was because they thought the fediverse would suck off his ego because they’re just oh so upstanding. You’re feeding right into it too.

Holy virtue signal, Batman!

It’s interesting to watch the cycle of bullshit that happens around every hyped game.
Years up to the release, people are full of wild speculation, impossible expectations, and excitement.
Months up to the release, suddenly every piece of news is blown massively out of proportion. People are now extremely overreacting to every minor piece of news like it’s going to end this game.
The internet is so boring when it comes to video games. Reviews have become useless because nothing is ever good enough. Online discourse is worthless because people are always focused on the weird parts of a game or it’s release.

Once I listened to a pest control guy and he said “I bet you’ve noticed a lot of wolf spiders in your yard”, to which I agreed.
He told me that their pest control dumps a shit load of pest control spray that should keep them away for a while. I asked, “but isn’t that where they live? Outside?”
He didn’t seem to understand how someone could belive that the spiders should be allowed to live outside.

That’s a level of lazy I can’t get behind, but I guess the market exists for a reason.

The days of having to constantly fiddle with your pc are pretty long gone. I built my current pc a couple years ago and have only had to open it for some minor upgrades (new ssd) and cleaning.
PC prices are definitely up though.

All you need is to talk to some younger gamers to see how bad CS cases can be. My younger sibling (24 now) was surrounded by case gambling growing up and I personally know some kids highschool aged that are keeping the trend going.
Valvd does a lot of good things for gaming but this is really not one of them.

Good god, Texas of all places? It’s a 15 minute drive to the nearest grocery store and I live in a suburb close to the city!
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 2 months ago:
They definitely did a lot of sponsored YouTube content. Iron Pineapple did a sponsored video. Seemed mid, not a $700 (ps5 + game) game.

I’m afraid I’d be unable to respond to all the questions since I can’t read!

Obsidian hasn’t made a good game since… So why are they throwing shade?

- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 3 months ago:
DFW part of Texas, it’s mostly hot throughout the year. I let my thermostat get a bit warm when no one is home to save on energy cost there.
The winters here get cold, but not that bad and not for very long so the heater doesn’t need to be on that much. Usage does go down during those months. We peak around 1400 or so in the hottest months.
My usage is so consistent I happily took an energy plan that was more expensive unless my energy usage stays between 1000-2000 kwh, where they give a $100 usage credit.
- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 3 months ago:
That’s surprising. I live in an area with no gas connections, so everything is electric. We average a little over 1000kwh a month every month.
I do live in a hot place so we rely on air conditioning a lot, maybe that’s the difference.
- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 3 months ago:
Is this weekly or monthly? If monthly, where the hell are people using only 600 kwh a month?
- Comment on It's called fashion, sweaty, look it up 3 months ago:
After looking it up, assuming it’s a zaghrouta, I can understand that being a bit jarring during a quiet part of a set. It’s not exactly subtle and could easily sound like someone is mocking you in western context.
