- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 3 days ago:
The US is a founder. It would be hard to.
It's just best to be the EU and extend membership.
- Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them? 5 days ago:
I remembered being randomly gilded and you got to go into that special subreddit for gilded users. Same deal.

- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 5 days ago:
I haven't bought it because the games I would've wanted to play on the Switch - still would work fine on the Switch. I don't feel the need or see the need to jump to Switch 2. I haven't even gotten a Switch for myself yet but I want one someday for Super Mario RPG.
Nintendo is just, fucking backwards in how they do business these days.

I'm going to say - get over it.
This is not Reddit, where downvoting would actually prevent you from posting.
This is the Fediverse, where, you can keep going. Who gives a fuck?

Facebook is a data farmer. Unless you've made the request to have your account deleted in 30 days, it's likely that your account is still there.

I had a moment of deja vu because I swear someone posted something very similar to this situation. Like some dude wanted to get back in touch with someone else because they were saved by them or something in early school. And they tried getting back in touch with them and when they did, that person deleted their account or seemingly blocked them.
Same thing applies here. Some people are just capable of walking away from things and they don't think about it ever again. You need to be considerable with these types.
Also, you explained what they gone through and now have empty eyes? Well, what did you expect? That's what happens when someone goes through a bunch of shitty situations.
- Comment on Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree 1 week ago:
And will not have the time to play them all.
People underestimate the numbers of games released. They see 1,353 and may see that as a challenge. But every game you play is going to amass into hours and hours per game. Moreso once you get into the RPG ones.

I remembered the Pokemon Stadium one.
These sites were so creative.
- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 1 week ago:
Because ever since 2016, the Great Societal Meltdown of the World (moreso America), everyone became armchair psychologists, scientists, researchers and therapists. Where, we just toss that bundle of word salad around, play label games and guesstimate who has what. There is no longer a thing such as 'normal' because everyone has to have something with them.
Quite frankly, we've gotten too fucking bored as a species.

- Comment on Fucking Google, websites and permissions shit... 1 week ago:
Windows 8 being released as it was, was the death knoll period for how things are treated based on what platform. It was obvious where the focus shifted. Since then, websites started being designed with mobile in mind, that barely worked. We're having all of these dumb virtual services that work optimally - on phone. We have apps that would've been great to also have desktop only work on - you guessed it - phones.
Programs are now called Apps. I think troubleshooting on mobile is perhaps one of the most frustrating and hopeless experiences one can have. When something just breaks, it could very well be anything and your phone is faster to being obsolete than your desktop would.
Where the hell did we go wrong?

Why so you can embrace their level of surveillance? It's why we didn't want Huawei devices.

No I was hoping for the dinosaur browser game.

Wow, how predictable, the game everyone has waited on for so long is GOTY.
- Comment on Anyone in the US also feeling extra suicidal after hearing the news today? 1 week ago:
If you commit suicide right now, you are letting them get the last laugh.
Good, great, your disappearance has harmed those close to you because you allowed an american dictator get to you by his actions.
This is why I do not wrap myself tightly with political news and news in general.
Besides, I would rather someone attempt to stop this psychopath Luigi-style than just offing themselves because of this. You would be remembered as a hero.

I don't fucking know.
I just put it into the ever-growing pile that says "Because it is fucking Trump". Because that insecure piece of shit will do anything - anything, he feels he wants. And until we have a government with a spine that will actually impeach his ass and mean it, what else can we say?
- Comment on Video games where you get to kill US soldiers 1 week ago:
You're probably best finding RTS games where you are in the roles of maybe rulers and whatnot that oppose US military? it's all I can think of.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 1 week ago:
I don't know what I can tell you.
I'm one of those patient gamers, where I'm just happy I finally have a machine that can play about 89% of the games I have to throw at it. Moreso happier that it can confidently run PS2 emulation, something I've been chasing for years to have a machine that can do, to own anyways.
I think you just need to sit down and contemplate to yourself what you want out of a machine. It's not a good healthy mindset to be fretting about upgrading all of the time. I mean, you made a huge leap already going from 15 years to what you have now.
Also consider that, there will still be games released that look graphically demanding and everything, but will require maybe a 1060 GPU, just as an example. Probably 8GB of RAM. It's only the AAA stuff that wants everything to be tip-top shape. Don't chase those.

- Comment on I'm looking for the best free online storage site my files. That is heavily encrypted and respect people's privacy, what would you suggest? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I support self-hosting. Don't trust online services to always be there for you and their terms, conditions and whatnot could change and you won't know it.
Grab an external drive, VeraCrypt and set it up as you please.
- Comment on [Serious] If a human is trained by AI slop and then they make something with their own hands, is it still art? 1 week ago:
This is probably one of the few exceptions I have with AI.
It can be used as an assistance tool.
- Comment on Why did an old friend who stood up for me in school block me when I messaged him on Facebook? 2 weeks ago:
People change overtime. What you find important in this post, may very well not be as important to them today. I mean, I've asked former friends before in the past about certain events. A lot of the time I get mixed answers or I'm told that it doesn't matter anymore. Because it didn't and asking those questions came off as incredibly odd to even ask.
Because things do stop mattering to some people overtime. They might've undergone so many changes that even recognizing you may be difficult. They might've only done one thing in the past and just simply forgot about it or didn't care enough for it to matter later.
I know if I was asked random questions such as that, I'd be more concerned as to whether or not it'd be relevant to what's going on with me today, not then.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 2 weeks ago:
Well if Russia is adamant on using their nuclear missles by moving them to Belarus, that's a telling sign as to who we know that would strike first. That's the dangers of dictatorship in control of a country.
No country should have nukes and I think we should destroy all and any documents, research regarding nuclear development. It's done nothing but make everyone fear for their lives and definitely leave everlasting impact.
- Comment on The 10 most anticipated video games of 2026 2 weeks ago:
I am interested in zero of these. Now granted, The Guardian is already on my nerves because of how devoid of actual intellectual writing for their articles are. There is obviously going to be way more games out there that are worth playing.
