- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 1 week ago:
They usually don’t and have to be “broken in”.
For those few that do so naturally, it’s more of a proto-symbiotic relationship where the rider helps provide food and safety, so they’re kept around as a pet or dumb kid. Also, if a predator wants to bite you, having something on your back to throw at them as a distraction can be pretty damn helpful.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 week ago:
As per my understanding (which isn’t saying much), Steam takes a 30% cut of each sale. In UK, someone with a specific agenda claimed to represent gamers as a class and sued reasoning that the 30% cut inflates the price of games globally even beyond Steam’s store, harming everyone.
Did i understand it right? No idea. What’s the actual goal here? Also no idea. Is Steam the “good guy” in all this? Of course not.

- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have specific games to recommend because there are many of many genres. I’d instead suggest to make trying out cooperative games as an experience for you both. The fun will be in exploring them on your own. Or the frustration. He he.

As per my understanding from the last VGA comments, it is the private fiefdom of a techbro idiot who neither knows nor cares what people expect.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 12th 3 weeks ago:
Rogue Legacy. I really suck at these fast paced reaction games. But I’ll farm some gold casually, upgrade everything and maybe i can brute force the bosses.
On a happy note, I won a giveaway of Vampire Bloodlines. I won’t get into it right away, but it’s good to have it again after many years. Ah, the daughters of Janus…
On an eh note, I was going to quit Star trek online, but it started a gamma recruit event. So even though it’s fomo, I’m like “Yes Founder!” for about an hour almost every day. But by now I’ve got a lot of things i don’t use just sitting there collecting dust, so it’s probably on its last legs.
On a bad note, nah just kidding. No bad note for now.

This trailer could be interpreted as a fundamentalist vegan ad. “Beware the sin of flesh in all its forms, for it shall bring forth the wrath of the elder gods!! Yield and repent!

I think it’s more to do with its ongoing clash against Tencent. If they allow this to keep going, it may damage their chances on that side as well.

As per my understanding, Sweet Baby Inc was/is a DEI consultant that would advise on accurate portrayal of minorities in games that wished to have them represented.
How accurate they were/are or how much their input is being used, I can’t say, however the easily swayed have taken to the idea they’re an evil shadowy cabal that mind controls companies and has them add brainwashing techniques meant to bring about the downfall of western society (the MAGAts that is).

As i recall, the files were user submitted so it was more of a tacit consent of plagiarism.

I remember when Gamefaqs was hated for stealing individual creators’ walkthroughs. Obviously, that didn’t pan out.
