That assumes an equal proclivity and competence for reading, which is manifestly not the case…

In the past decade, PC hobbyists have been the victims of the latest group of regards “getting the bag”. Crypto 1.0, 2.0 and now AI. It’s the biggest fool theory doing its thing. I fucking hate tech bros and crypto bros. They are the huma race’s macro analogy for cancer cells.
- Comment on One hour into Gears 5 and I feel its a lot better than 4 6 days ago:
20 and 80 seems about the right parallel, they both vote for fascists in droves so it kinda checks out. I’d wager the level of idiocy is neck and neck.

When you’re 80, your patience isn’t what it used to be 😏

These games feel like they were made for people 30y old than I am. The writing is atrocious…
- Comment on ‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations 1 week ago:
Sonkey Kong is such an outlier as GOTY. They frequently need a nintendo game there to please the basement dwellers but still, Hades, HKSs and mainly ClairObscure are so far above DK it’s almost insulting seeing them together in the same category.

- Comment on Good news. The wife of Jeff Bezos is giving back some of the money her husband stole from Amazon employees 1 week ago:
He should have picked himself back up by his bootstraps, since he became rich by being special. (A brahmin maybe).

That’s a bit homophobic…
- Comment on Winter burrow SBI controversy 2 weeks ago:
Don’t starve like, not great, not terrible, at home in a Deck. Demo is appreciated. Attempts at viral marketing by stirring culture war, are not. It’s a European game, largely subsidised by Danish grants, their absence from the Danish diversity charter is kind of conspicuous in the face of this clunky attempt at going viral with US culture war BS… Someone should return their marketing degree and ask CBS their money back.

Second wrinkle just formed. Keep going…

Thank you, your insults are so well crafted I feel a single wrinkle forming in my smooth brain.

Clearly I’m the uncivilized one in this dialogue. You can tell from the petty insults and strawmen.
- Comment on Winter burrow SBI controversy 2 weeks ago:
Nice bait.
- Comment on Winter burrow SBI controversy 2 weeks ago:
Nice try to rally the troops to grift some hate/simpathy sales from the dumb dumbs who can’t see this for the blatant exploitative marketing attempt it really is.

You lost me at

That’s so patently false it could have been an argument by the pedophile in chief.
I’m out to my antiquated life, cheers.
- Comment on 'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment 5 weeks ago:
Assault is an unforgivable crime and thusly indefensible in any setting. What a fucking creep.
Furthermore, taking advantage of vulnerable people, (mostly lonely or too young to be fully developed) to fleece them for money by capturing them in an asymmetric parasocial relationship should also be a crime. These people only parasitise society and benefit from conpanies like Amazon or Twitch holding a de facto monopoly. They are part of the oligarchy.
Generally, Influencers, streamers and some youtubers (GN etc are notable exceptions) are parasitic entities that have no place in a civilized society. We’re rushing towards idiocracy at lightspeed.
- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 1 month ago:
Corporate management types are not organically recruited from experienced labour, they are from the “brahmin” echelons of society. Not only do they not understand that not all man hours are different, they have no clue of what is going on since they are recruited because of their pedigree and not competence.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 1 month ago:
For years I’ve been warning whoever would listen that XboxGP, much like any other content subscription service owned by a public company would inevitably lead to a massive consumer squeeze. Fortunately it happened before MS managed to metastasise into a monopoly in gaming too. Good riddance.
