- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 1 week ago:
Getting paid twice for one transaction isn’t how it works.
The buyers paid the extra tax to Nintendo to cover Nintendo’s extra cost. Then Nintendo gets a rebate on the tax. So they just got that extra tax money for no fucking reason.

Yeah, gambling is addictive.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 1 week ago:
Their cartel like price fixing policies raise prices across all sales platforms, regardless if they deal with steam codes or not.
Also the child gambling.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 1 week ago:
So did Nintendo.
- Comment on The Republican Party used to be very big on smaller government. What caused them to turn into the party of big government over reach? When did it happen? 1 week ago:
It was a lie. They’re for whatever they’re currently in control of.
- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 1 week ago:
It’s trying to claim that the reason they got the promotion was they were physically in the building more than others. Because being seen is more important than doing the job
- Comment on If Vampire's are semi dead, then how come a steak thru the heart kills them if they are dead already? Do they still pump their own blood? 1 week ago:
Magic.
- Comment on Anon joins a shitposting group 2 weeks ago:
Their worldview is heavily built around Christian magic nonsense: The sky is a dome (firmament). Gravity doesn’t exists, it’s just buoyancy. They probably assume wind currents change and blow the cold off the icewall surrounding the world edge…
- Comment on Anon joins a shitposting group 2 weeks ago:
More like the techbros took inspiration…
- Comment on Anon joins a shitposting group 2 weeks ago:
It started that way. Then a large contingent of shit stains showed up not realizing it was a joke and agreed with everything.
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 2 weeks ago:
Getting a new CEO doesn’t undo the decade of horrible development practices unity employed. The engine is swamped in technical debt, half finished and abandoned features, I’m not even sure if they have an actual native working multiplayer system yet, after multiple restarts from scratch…
- Comment on What is the big deal with data centers or whatever? How can they give off pollution? I get it may cause a spike electricity but shouldn't the company give residents a discount for having theirs? 3 weeks ago:
These LLM datacenters aren’t your average datacenters. They’re not racks of mostly hard drives and cpus, they’re energy hog supercharged gpus that just vomit heat.
My single gpu PC can raise the temp of my office by like 10°. And it’s not even that impressive of a spec. The standard industrial sized cooling hasn’t cut it for these installations
- Comment on Palworld Hits 40M Players Ahead of Friday's 1.0 Launch - FullCleared 3 weeks ago:
Because the 3 or so patent suits they filled against them weren’t the perfect time… Even after ex post facto filing for these patents and this somehow being allowed under Japanese patent law
- Comment on What is the big deal with data centers or whatever? How can they give off pollution? I get it may cause a spike electricity but shouldn't the company give residents a discount for having theirs? 3 weeks ago:
Except this one isn’t. AC units make a lot of noise. AC units for a server game the size of a mall, make a fuck ton
A slowly spinning turbine, not so much.

On top of using inefficient and dirty power sources, they also suck up all the local water, produce heat domes (pollution) and noise pollution at registers that causes psychological issues.
Getting 10% off a subscription to a shitty LLM that doesn’t can’t do anything properly, doesn’t offset that.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Xbox to Shift Obsidian Studio to New ‘Fallout’ Video Game 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes, people leave a company and move to another one, only for that first company to buy the company they moved to…
Knew someone this happened to.
- Comment on God danget bobby 3 weeks ago:
That’s not what taking the lord’s name in vain means.
- Comment on Entombed 4 weeks ago:
Did they have the manpower or industrial uses to even harvest forests non-sustainably?
- Comment on End of an era? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah Bungie management has been atrocious since at least the first Halo. Possibly from their beginning. It’s honestly a miracle they’ve managed to release so many decently sized hits despite being mismanaged to hell and back for each and every single one.
- Comment on Sony will kill PlayStation games on discs in 2028 and offer digital downloads only 4 weeks ago:
Somehow GameStop stock is up 6% for the week, despite this announcement basically dropping the floor out from under their entire business model.
- Comment on Sony will kill PlayStation games on discs in 2028 and offer digital downloads only 4 weeks ago:
Was it the roommate that was a hot mess, or the PlayStation?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
It’ll be free to join forces and create the translations for some of those.
It’ll take away dev time they could be working on other things. Those devs get paid for their time. That is not free. In fact, depending on the type of developer, it may actually be cheaper to get someone else to do it, as software devs tend to be on the higher end of the earning scale for office drone type jobs.
- Comment on VP Vance Says Watergate Would Now Be 12-Hour News Story and Crazy It Took Down Nixon's Presidency 5 weeks ago:
They’re waiting until January to boot the dementia patient. Otherwise he’d be ineligible for a real second term. Not that the charisma vacuum could get to that point.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Hell, they were a mess during the original Halo days. It’s a miracle they made such successful games. They basically rebuilt 2 from scratch after it’s announcement trailer. It’s been mismanagement misstep after misstep.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 5 weeks ago:
Price doesn’t matter if it never releases.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Why give this scam any publicity? It’s been done before.
- Comment on Was Alex Jones right about anything? 5 weeks ago:
Parents might not be helping. Doesn’t mean they aren’t teaching it. Schools are experiencing a surge in apathetic students since covid and LLMs became widespread. Also teachers will complain about the standouts, doesn’t mean it’s every student.
You even said it yourself:
some
- Comment on Was Alex Jones right about anything? 5 weeks ago:
If the clocks are still in schools, and their schedules are based on time, the kids are going to figure out how to read them.
Maybe think before you call others dumb…
- Comment on Why is Amazon Prime overpriced in the Anglosphere demographic? 5 weeks ago:
You’re not paying for just the video service (at least in the US), prime is primarily their free 2-day shipping plan. The streaming was always just kind of an extra that was included with that
- Comment on Assume You Will Be Hacked: AI is enabling a deluge of cyberattacks the likes of which we’ve never seen before. 1 month ago:
make much of a difference in their personal wealth
There’d be no use in mentioning it if it was a tiny amount. One doesn’t bemoan the state of the economy and eye transitioning their funds into gold if they’re talking about a single oz…
