  Idk, even as a leftist I think it’s very weird to make a movie about Greek mythology with 0 Greek people in it…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamer Logic 😡⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what people mean when they say they’re “apolitical”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately I’m pretty sure they’re legally justified…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m waiting for an OLED switch 2, personally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often is normal to masturbate?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Forgive me for asking, but would you be able to explain the appeal ? I’ve always been a little puzzled by this fetish, to be blunt it always seemed like a waste of a creampie x)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often is normal to masturbate?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think “normal” is a helpful frame of mind here. Maybe “healthy” is a better way to see it : does it make you feel good ? Does it feel like a healthy part of your life ? I don’t want to decide for you, but from your other comments it seems like it probably is.

  I would call it a problem if it becomes an obsession, if it takes time away from other things you want to do, if you do it so much you hurt yourself… Etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often is normal to masturbate?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  30-something is a lot younger than most people realise x)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Millionaires tell me every day that they want a wealth tax'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Millionaire is a very, very wide category. There are an astonishing number of people who are millionaires by the simple fact of owning their house and their car, in this insane market.

  On the other end of the spectrum, someone can be worth 999 million and basically just be a billionaire, while technically not clearing the bar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Between more pay and fewer hours, I always want fewer hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not about physical vs digital games, it's about ownership⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My personal rule : GOG over Steam, Steam over piracy, piracy over everything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Limited Run's Co-Founder Once Had Aspirations To Make A "Physically-Focused Platform"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to make a platform with physical media, I would distribute games on SD cards.

  Games would come on a micro-SD card, coming inside the box inserted inside a full-size SD adapter for compatibility’s sake.

  The boxes would probably be around 3DS box sized to enable including a manual, proper box art and a back cover, while being compact.

  I know this is controversial but I would make the boxes out of cardboard. Collectors can keep them, and non-collectors can just throw them in the recycling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Switch 2 a waste of money?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I’m waiting for an OLED model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is he going to be a candidate again !? I thought the last race was his last !

  Despite my personal liking for him (justified or not) ; I hope someone a little more “amicable” takes his place. Many people are scared of him, some for understandable reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bring back physical media on PC?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would honestly be more interested in a hard push for GOG, itch, and other similar DRM-free marketplaces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Physical media is the entire point of a console !?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Voted “Not Interested” while guessing it was the least common option, turns out it’s close to 60% ! I guess this audience is a little biased towards playing indies, maybe that’s why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there words in reverse order between two languages using the Latin Alphabet?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ( English - French )

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Gaming is becoming unaffordable” — Xbox CEO says the industry has an accessibility crisis⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Their solution is probably gonna be game pass. Everyone is distracted by the anti-AI crusade but we should not forget the anti-Subscription crusade too !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was like you, and I ended up choosing Steam, mainly because I can play the game on the Steam Deck that way.

  If a game I own ever gets delisted on Steam : first off, it’s unusual for Steam to remove it from your library ; secondly, I would just pirate a copy if that were ever to happen.

  Any game for which that strategy fails, would also never have a physical release on PlayStation anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is factually wrong. Most games are entirely on the disk, albeit in version 1.0 ; you can check on DoesItPlay, they usually have the info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn. I can’t imagine this is what they wanted to price it at, I’m very sad to say it is a competitive price in this insane market…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨average physics student vs POTUS 47⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fine but it would be better if a partially submerged device also functioned partially. And I said material specifically because it’s lame if it needs power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨average physics student vs POTUS 47⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if we could engineer some material that does fulfill his spec. Magnetic in air, loses magnetic properties underwater, regains them when out of the water…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are American men leaving the workforce at historic rates?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A is the actual reason.

  The other 3 are excuses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soulframe: Preludes - Official Gameplay Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think its the best of the three, and perhaps second only to Elden Ring (though I haven’t played Sekiro or Bloodborne to compare), but it could use more polish…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s probably not that simple. If it was, someone could come in and massively undercut the entire market…

  But hey, maybe it is ! And if it is so, then we can try and organise some non-profit nursing homes that charge exactly what it costs to actually run the place and pay the employees decently, and even slightly less than that thanks to donations !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN | Official Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope they make the protagonist less bland this time. I don’t mind a sexy main character if it fits their personality (eg Bayonetta) !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soulframe: Preludes - Official Gameplay Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For a second I thought that was Majula 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Counter Strike.

  Nothing interesting ever fucking happens, it’s just shooting guys in corridors and around corners, first who gets an accidental headshot thanks to random spread wins…

  The time-to-kill and the rounds are just too short for any sort of interesting macro-game to arise, it’s all micro all the time.

  I would rather have cheaters in my games personally x)
