- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 15 hours ago:
Because these are naturally grown sources of sugar that is untainted by the joke of the food industry's idea of processing sugar?
- Comment on Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title' 1 day ago:
Are you going to lump Shigeru Miyamoto in that same bold claim?
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 1 day ago:
You can't blatantly assume all games are like what AAA is. Indie development is the beacon that says that games can still be made simple, without all of the corporate fluff and shit jammed into it.
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 2 days ago:
Okay, okay.
I am going to have to whip out this criticism for anybody that has made these kind of rants.
STOP. FOCUSING. ON. AAA. GAMES!
I'm not kidding, that's your problem and that's anyone else's problem who get sick of gaming as a whole. You keep kicking that can down the street for AAA game development to pander to you, but end up disappointed over and over and over. But you still kept your hand out, you still bought their games at Day 1, you still bought their DLC, you still waited for all and any patchwork. You were still there!
Meanwhile I and several dozen others by now, have been in the pirating game for years before you and anyone else had the guts to finally join in after having your face slapped hundreds of times by this point.
And people have been also telling you for years as to what the better alternatives that was out there were, but nooope! Still stuck to AAA development.
Took you long enough.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 2 days ago:
Hamas was what Afghanistan/Osama Bin Laden was to the United States but Palestinians ended up being the Iraq end of the matter for Israel.
Do the math.
- Comment on New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars" 3 days ago:
The forums are to be avoided. You can't even have an honest non-political discussion in them because it is filled with immature asshole trolls with somehow too much time on their hands. I'm permabanned from Steams official forums because of just suggesting we get rid of the jester award. Cue in legions of fuckheads storming in 16 pages worth of my reviews and flagging nearly all of them with jester awards. Fuck that shithole.
It's even astounding how one of the trolls, was married and has a kid. What a life that guy has to find so much time to be an asshole online while having a family. "Uh sorry honey, I'm too busy owning someone online because they had an opinion I don't like, I'm not going to have dinner with you tonight."
- Comment on For when arguments go off the bottom of The Debate Pyramid 4 days ago:
I feel that online arguments always start at the Contradiction layer and always sharply go down short of the violence part.
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 4 days ago:
Copied from Google; Many anime character names are real Japanese names with traditional meanings, such as
Sakura (cherry blossom), Naruto (maelstrom), Sora (sky), Akari (light), and Haruki (spring tree). Other anime names, like Goku, Yagami, Sasuke, and Kakashi, also have real Japanese origins and meanings, though some may be less common or more metaphorical. - Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 4 days ago:
A lot of them are assholes, yeah. You can safely assume some of those people are also lawbreakers if they're already breaking a few dozen laws by doing stupid street racing. Probably drug dealers too. Doing something like illegal street racing, is like a criminal's side-hobby. You won't know what else they've done until they've gotten arrested.
- Comment on Ubisoft's new Tencent-backed company is called Vantage Studios, a 'creative house' that will take over development of Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six - PC Gamer 5 days ago:
More like continuing to drag these zombie series on as long as possible.
- Comment on Does being a ‘hero’ mean you are a perfect person? 5 days ago:
No. Who you described at the end is what is called an Anti-Hero, who is someone who can do good things but they do them their own way which might not always be the right or correct way to solve a problem. Even if the problem was solved.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 days ago:
Um, I have done so successfully?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 days ago:
Don't assume I'm one of those people. I only threw down a dollar just to get three months of SiriusXM and I only listen to comedy on it. I have an IPod Touch with music and car manufacturer's suck dick on complicating the idea of plugging in IPod devices and letting them work as normal. No, we're suddenly required to have ApplePlay or Android Auto.
- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 6 days ago:
I think you're on to something here. I have had noticed that in some channels I've watched where it seems like their room is way too perfect? Probably not the right word, but it's off-setting to see how their environment is orchestrated. Like it's the in-thing to do, so that is their way, a way of conformity. Then when that in-thing is no longer that thing, out with that environment into something else that's trendy.
I would hate myself a lot if I was making videos and had to orbit my life around what a manufacturer, marketer, advertiser .etc wants to see me project.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 6 days ago:
I think sales have lost their luster when they're almost the same prices we've seen all year around. The golden age of sales was from 2010 - 2018 I would say and it was THE time to wheel and deal on getting games you sought for the most for crazy prices.
Nowadays, things remain stagnant. You'll find games released 5 years ago get an eh -15% off. You'll find games even 10 years ago get an eh -30% off. Most of the games you see go 65 - 90% off are either games you already had gotten long ago with better prices or games you couldn't give a shit about.
I understand that it'd be dumb to expect one or even two year games to be more than -50% at least. But the older the game gets, come on, you can do better.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 6 days ago:
Rimworld almost never goes below $26 in sales if I recall. And it pisses me off too because it's an 8 year old game, but the devs remain so stingy on giving a good deal. It's like they act like they've made their own sacred Super Mario Bros game that can never have a good sale, like Nintendo practices.

Felt a bit too soon, don't it?
Thought this happened around November.

Be prepared to see less feminine character involvement in future games as possible, because these saudi pricks are so backwards.

Sir, this isn't KiwiFarms. Please go be an edgy tryhard there.
- Comment on Politics in America has always been dirty. How does trump really stack up? 1 week ago:
Facts? What are those?
There are 75 Million brain-washed idiots out there who we know, that can give a shit less about facts. Those people voted Trump in in hopes he'll - get this - lower egg prices. Now I know that's part of the reason but it was a large part. The same egg prices Trump would later tell everyone to shut up about, for real.
- Comment on Does more expensive phones have better reception? 1 week ago:
I wouldn't think so, because data speed is a set standard that is applicable to all phones.
What does matter is whether or not a phone can support all or the bands you need.
- Comment on Completionist gives answers 1 week ago:
I think you miss the point also that it's been years that people have probably known the guy and his antics, so it's easy for them to write him off. I think it is ignorant of you to pretend that kind of plausibility doesn't exist.
Mind as well say "gee, why don't everybody sit and listen and watch everything Donald Trump does? I don't get it!"
Why the hell would people want to waste the time?
- Comment on Completionist gives answers 1 week ago:
I know this guy's track record and he needs to show a ton of receipts than just words. He needs to make some big steps in owing up to his mistakes. He's shown time and time again that he'll speak words and never do the thing that's infront of his face that he needs to do. Not gonna sit and listen for 45 minutes of it. Actions speak louder.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 week ago:
You've just stated what the article was about - there are so many games coming out. Whether it is about them making even, breaking even or not is just a mention. The core thing is that there are too many games.
Go argue with a freaking wall, for christ sake. Why do you even post? Get a life.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 week ago:
But I don't see how it is a problem. Because the article or whomever wrote it, is basically asking the industry "hey, take a break, stop producing things." Which, you mind as well ask every other industry and it'll more ridiculous per request.
"Hey Authors, please stop writing things, I need to catch up on my library!"
"Hey movie directors, please stop making films, I need to watch my library!"
"Hey TV Networks, I need to catch up on this series!"
See how dumb that all sounds?
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 1 week ago:
So? It's your own fault, just as it was mine, for compulsively buying games you're not going to play ever. There's still going to be games being released after you die, so, why worry too much about the volume of games?

Roundhouse kick that kid to the moon.
- Comment on Do all American stores have greeters? 1 week ago:
That's because Dollar General and anything with so much as to have 'Dollar' in their store's name or function like one, expects you to be a swiss-army knife of an employee while still getting shit pay and benefits.
