  I like how you can’t actually refute any of what I said, and all you can call out is regional differences in spelling. You’re right though, I didn’t know that was the British spelling. Using that as the focal point of your rebuttal, though, is about as meaningful as achievements that can be unlocked with a console command.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Console Commands and Mods Shouldn’t Disable Achievements — Consoles Are Holding Players Back for No Good Reason⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your weak reading comprehension is your problem, but let me help you anyway.

  If achievements don’t matter, then your inability to unlock them also doesn’t matter. You’re complaining about not being given Nothing.

  Your sense of achievement in your private endeavours [SIC] is your own.

  Perfect, then you won’t care about being locked out of earning those silly little internet points.

  Achievements do not serve some great purpose, but what little purpose they do serve requires that earning them is done on equal footing. If the “100% Completion on Hardest Difficulty” achievement can just be earned by playing through the game with god mode on, or even just toggling a status from zero to one with console commands, then they go from serving very little purpose to serving none at all.

  So either achievements are completely pointless, and you’re complaining about not getting a pointless thing, or achievements have some value and you want them to have no value at all.

  You know that by trivializing the value of achievements in the first place you also trivialize the importance of not being able to get them, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people are so fine with Warframe monetization methods?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of all the ideas of all time, the idea that Warframe has an aggressive monetization plan is certainly one of them.

  Yes, you CAN save time by buying a resource drop booster, but those can also be earned in game. you CAN just buy whatever Warframe you want right now, but you can absolutely earn them all in game. You CAN buy Platinum, but you can also trade for it in game and never spend a dime. But none of this is aggressively presented to you, none of it gets pushed on you. The mere existence of boosters is a far cry from aggressively pushing them, the only one nagging you that you “could have had more” is you.

  And the accusations of FOMO are pretty misplaced. It’s not completely absent, but on the rare occasion that your login bonus is a coupon for platinum you’re only ever one click away from just ignoring it. So many games will put something on sale once and tell you up front that if you don’t BUY it now, you’ll never get it, if you miss out, you REALLY miss out. Warframe never does that, even the things that are limited time are on a rotation, they’ll be back, and they can always be earned in game without spending a dime. Warframe makes a point of making everything earnable in game, always. You can pay for a shortcut, you can pay to skip some part you don’t like, but at no point do you ever have to, and it definitely doesn’t PUSH microtransactions on you like so many other games. You won’t get pop ups telling you to buy some limited time bundle or encouraging you to double your payout with this booster or that. Those things exist, and they’re tucked away in the market where you don’t have to interact with them. If you’re really wound up over resource drop boosters or the like, you’ll get them as the occasional log in bonus from time to time, but in most cases they’re just not going to be necessary. The things that tend to block you aren’t things a drop booster is likely to seriously impact. Frankly, if you ever spend platinum on a booster, you’re a fool.

  You spent money, once. By your own admission it wasn’t even a lot. That’s fine, just have some shred of self control and the game won’t push more on you. Have a modicum of patience and sooner or later the game will give you what you were looking for anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Without the ability of a private person to verify that, though, it’s no more persuasive than explaining all the other things we did up there.

  And if the person is capable enough to actually use a laser to accurately target and measure the reflection of these retroreflectors, they’re not a moon landing denier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It should be a strict rule⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the exact kind of person who buys a house near an airport because it was cheap, then complains endlessly to restrict airport operations because of the noise.

  What an awful day to have eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a "patience" building exercise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only people who would take my courses would use this power for evil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a "patience" building exercise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s really exciting, because today you’re also starting a new patience building initiative, holding off on your productivity. It’s not a delay of work, it’s time for management to reflect on priorities and reassess administrative operations unburdened by the distractions of ongoing worker functions. Remember that reevaluating delivery timelines in the face of productivity-function realignment is necessary for lean, responsive leadership. At the conclusion of this patience building exercise, which remember is not a delay but meditation on what it means to not get paid, discussions can be opened again on strategies to return to exceptional productivity.

  And remember, even the most efficient engines need fuel, without that there really is no movement to begin with.

  Your friend is an idiot and if these are his sincerely held beliefs you should just assume everything he ever says is probably wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't understand how Trump gets away with all his senial BS. How come everyone is telling him to piss off or use the constitution to shut him the hell up?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because enough of the people who would be responsible for stopping this senile psychopath see him as THEIR senile psychopath and they’re more interested in seeing the people they don’t like get hurt than they are in preserving the rule of law or the constitution. The rest could try to send a message by pushing for articles of impeachment, but the message it sends is entirely wrong if and when he’s just fully acquitted by his ruling party.

  This incidentally is a big part of why the mid-term election is going to be so important. If his shitstick cronies get thrown the fuck out then maybe something useful will actually get done about him.

  Shhhh, hush now. We live in a world of horrors, let us dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon files a lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re really implying a considerable age difference here though, and that’s not really implied in either the original fake story or the hypothetical posed here. It’s not like dating an old friend of their parents, it’s more like dating their childhood best friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did anyone else play Fractured Space?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved the hell out of that game. The Widow was sick as hell, stealth missile ship, loved that. It’s still pretty high on my list of games by time played and I miss it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of frankincense and myhrr is more pricey? What even are they, respectively?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankincense was a fancy incense-like substance, burned for the scent. Myhrr was used in fucking EMBALMING. They were both fucking weird ass presents to give a baby, but they were also expensive and generally hard to acquire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Browser and Wario are Mario's mortal ennemies, why did he invited them for a kart race?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because inviting your rival to some recreational outing just to absolutely dunk on them and send them home in shame is more socially acceptable than violence.

  I hate that his fucking followers will be more angry about this than the fact that he raped kids on Epstein’s island.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I relentlessly hate that shit. I've heard a few reasons for why they do it, and none of them are good. All I see is some pretentious twat who really wants the thorn to be a thing, and it's not going to happen. I wish them the worst.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It's not a question of the world being too big or too small, it's the density of interesting things. A giant world with very little worth doing doesn't accomplish much, but similarly a small world where you're absolutely tripping over things that feel like you shouldn't skip them will also feel claustrophobic.

  Interestingly, the traversal system can help a LOT here. Even a world that has a lot of wide open dead space can feel good if the process of crossing that space is itself fun. Dune: Awakening comes to mind here, where there are large spans of open desert that you need to cross, but ripping across the dunes on my sandbike was so much fun I didn't mind the dead ground.

  Skill issue. The phone doesn't do anything on it's own.

  Yeah not true at all. If you think you're worse off for having a cell phone, the problem isn't the phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone try the demo for Tavern Keeper on Steam yet? It's....... yeah.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So your position is that Greenheart Games, which as far as I can tell has fewer than 10 employees, is too corporate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The GOP doesn't think they are fascists. They think the term is only being used to try to deride them without actually being correct. From there, when they see "Anti-fascists" constantly opposing THEM, they think it's just some violent group that has used an ad hominem attack for their name.

  It would be comparable to someone making an anti-shithead group, and then that group is always out trying to stop you from doing whatever you do. Not only would they be a direct problem for you, but the fact that they're targeting you would imply then that they're also calling you a shithead.
