- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 1 week ago:
she’s a teacher…that’s what scares me more. she’s teaching kids. And the even MORE scary thing is she hates kids. she refuses to have her own because, and I quote, she “can’t stand children”. Essentially she’s good at cramming/studying the lesson plans and then info dumping it on the kids. Now trying to get her to actually understand or teach you what’s she’s actually dumped onto the kids well after the fact? good luck. I tried that once. One week she taught the kids some subject on earth science, tectonic plates I believe, I asked her a week later at a family dinner about it because she brought it up. she couldn’t explain it. it was out of her mind already.
- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 1 week ago:
“book smarts” and “street smarts” are two completely different things. My sister is book smart. skipped a couple grades, went to university twice, once for her degree and again for her masters. She’s by all means well educated.
She’s dumb as a bag of rocks. She’s really good at studying. she’s a pro at it. but none of that knowledge is ever retained for extended periods of time. Once its “useful” i.e. for a test/exam/SAT/etc then it’s tossed out of her head. I can’t recall what she earned her masters in but if you challenge her to talk about it today she can’t. that’s the primary reason I can’t remember is because she literally is unable to talk about it.

and you could always tell if you were going to connect or not and the quality of the connection based purely on slight variations of the sound. if it sounded “off” I would disconnect before completely connecting and reconnect cause I knew I was about to get a shit connection.
- Comment on Will an American remake of Squid Game be bad or better than the original? 1 week ago:
they would turn it into a a sort of play on the mrbeast bullshit. that’s all they would have to substitute. instead of being a Korean children’s game it’d be like youtube challenge bullshit. I.E. who can keep their hand on this stack of money the longest and when someone lets go they get shot.
- Comment on When you're the type of person who commits. (xpost, because the Factorio joke inspired me) 1 week ago:
I’ve found the same thing. a year or so ago there was a humble bundle for a whole bunch of 40k e-books so I got it and tried getting into them. a lot of them were just “meh”. The Salamanders book was alright but man does it just trudge along.
- Comment on When you're the type of person who commits. (xpost, because the Factorio joke inspired me) 1 week ago:
As someone who is all about the 40k lore, have no clue how to play the game, don’t have any miniatures, you really gotta take it all in small doses as there’s so much of it or let someone on youtube explain it for you.
It’s good lore, it’s insanely deep lore, and it’s all over the place. Keep in mind it all takes place of the span of 10s of thousands of years. there will be entire novels of the most mundane Astartes chapter/legion. There’ll be legions/chapters you have no clue about because no one has written about them or they get shoved off to the side. I know a lot of the lore but I honestly couldn’t tell you anything about the twin Primarchs Alpharius and Omegon nor their Alpha Legion.
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 1 week ago:
Charlies Angels on the Gamecube. I worked at a blockbuster at the time and just used it as a free rental as I was curious. god damn it was by far the worst game I had ever played.
- Comment on EU vs USA 2 weeks ago:
all by design. Notice how the No Kings protests happen on a Saturday? you know…when the majority of people have time off work. that’s the problem. When employment is tied to healthcare and the fact you can’t take time off from it to, like, take back your country combined with many states being at will employment states….yeah it’s all by design to prevent the mass populace from rebelling.
For these protests to REALLY be effective they need to jam up downtown cores at 8am on a weekday and last throughout the day. but they never will. and if they did the turn out would be minimal. My point is you CAN peacefully protest but when it’s on a weekend then no one cares. you’re not hindering anything.
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 weeks ago:
what console exclusives for the PS5? it has 7. that’s it. only 7 that you can ONLY play on the PS5. (used to be 8 but Death Stranding 2 just came out on PC). and of those 7 maybe ONE of which is a console seller, maybe, and that’s Astro Bot and while it’s a good game I say that as a massive stretch that it’s worth a $650 point of entry.
the ps5 doesn’t have any exclusives that drive sales. none.
- Comment on From Zip To Nought: The Rise And Fall Of Iomega 2 weeks ago:
yeah at the time I REALLY wished I knew the easiest fix was a stupid bracket I wouldn’t have gone through so many. I loved my zip drive but after like the 4th or 5th one dying on me I gave up.
- Comment on [Video] Group of men harrass Aljazeera reporter covering burnt down ambulances calling him a "monkey", "dog" and "terrorist". 2 weeks ago:
yup. I play a lot of EVE Online that has a massive russian playerbase. you’ll get called a dog constantly, they’ll say they hope your mother is raped by dogs, and some really silly weak insults.
me and my corp mates will always reply back with “Sorry I don’t speak Ukrainian” (that REALLY sets them off) or “Don’t you have to go help your Babushka hang a rug on a wall?” or “rugs are meant for floors” that also angers them alot.
- Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!) 2 weeks ago:
it had quite a few gems. The WipEout games were some of the best in the series, the God of War games were very good. Battlefield II on it was great. Final Fantasy Tactics and Crisis Core. Jeanne D’Arc was one of the best tactics game ever. Ys Seven, Megaman Powered Up, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Ape Escape, the Killzone game on it was very good, LocoRocco 1 and 2, Final Fantasy Dissida, Monster Hunter, Daxter, Special Agent Clank, and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.
- Comment on RetroDECK Is More Than Emulation: An Interview with the Devs (my article!) 3 weeks ago:
basically RetroDeck is a one and done type of deal. one package (flatpak) that has everything pre-configured and good to go as opposed to say RetroArch where you have to pick your cores (emulators) and what have you. on say a SteamDeck something like RetroDeck is naturally going to be easier to use and set up but when it comes to a Linux desktop it’s all really a non-factor. Like for example most distro repos have either a complete library of the cores for Retroarch or you can pick and choose which ones you want. like on Arch for example the package “libretro” will give you everything or on Nix/NixOS you can pick and choose which ones to install with Retroarch.
- Comment on It's a classic 3 weeks ago:
I’m so sorry.
It was March or April of 2008 and I worked in the porn industry as a web developer and moderator for user submitted content sites. One site in particular that I managed was gaytube which at the time was owned by Twisty’s/Pink Visual/Carsed Marketing. As a moderator for gaytube it was my responsibility to approve or deny all user submitted content to the site. and there was a lot of it. daily. Affiliate content got approved regardless but users had to be vetted. enter a guy from Eastern Europe named Alexi or Alex.
He’d submit stuff constantly of shoving things up his ass. like whatever it was. food, random objects, whatever. One day in March or April of 2008 he submitted this clip. all of it. in it’s entirety. I watched it. I was one of if not the first person OTHER than Alexi to watch this thing. so. much. blood.
Naturally I had to deny it. But even after denying a clip I still had access to the upload. Now since I was in the industry I had access to all the industry forums and other user sites that people in the industry would use like the message board “gofuckyourself” (seriously, that’s what it was called). I was on speaking terms with the guy that ran efukt and I would always share with him weird shit via gofuckyourself that would get submitted to one of the many sites I worked on like the victorian era E.T. porn or the duct tape ninja turtles porn for example. So I decided to send him this clip. he uploaded it. the rest is history.
- Comment on Anon misses flash 4 weeks ago:
yeah it was “all the rage” in the early 00’s up to like the early 10’s. Pain in the ass to build, even worse to maintain and update. but EVERYONE wanted a cool interactive flash site. It’s just trends with companies. I remember after flash it was all paralax. everyone wanted paralax. thankfully that was a lot easier to build since it was just HTML5. but yeah web dev trends are annoying because you’re constantly having to learn new stacks that you know will become irrelevant in like 3 years or less once some middle manager discovers something “cool”.
I’m all about using Astro + Tailwind because it reminds me of building Geocities sites and I like that.
- Comment on Anon misses flash 4 weeks ago:
yeah it was fine to play games on or see neat websites but it was absolute garbage to build and maintain with.
fresh out of college one of my first jobs was a web master for an ad agency whose site was purely built in flash/actionscript. It was the absolute worst to update. I hated it. I was one of those that celebrated flash and actionscripts downfall.

- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 1 month ago:
it does but with Twitch it’s a constant battle. you can go for days or weeks on end and it’ll work great then boom a few days to a week and it won’t work anymore until the maintainers figure out yet another way to circumvent twitch ads.
It just got to a point for me where I just stopped using twitch. I mean the site overall and the content/streamers have just gotten a lot worse in the past few years and there’s really nothing on there anymore worth watching.
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem | Review Thread 1 month ago:
I thought the exact same thing when I watched the OSW Review of RE8 the other day. I thought it was still like a few months to a year away….then again it always seems like that with RE. I mean hell feels like 8 didn’t come out all that long ago.
Welp looks like I can FINALLY put down Mewgenics for something else this weekend.

Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter in then cause….god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.
in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.
- Comment on "It's going to be a very long goodbye" - Peter Molyneux's last game will be Masters of Albion, but that's not necessarily as simple as it sounds 1 month ago:
I loved the original Black & White way back in the day but I never really clicked with his other games, even Fable.
I just remember the mini documentary that Tech TV had on him that they would repeat over and over. and even way back then he was getting called out on his over promising for his games. like the original Fable was a fraction of what he promised it would be.
