I hear you and I’ll take (finally) a classic3D DK over yet another Mario. But it’s still weird.
- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 1 day ago:
Yes. Running it in browser is far better than not using one at all. But third party is significantly safer, since your browser is trusted with a LOT already.

I mean it’ll have been 10 years soon for a flagship 3D title. Obviously they’re going hard on the spinoffs but it’s never been this long for main titles.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out 2 days ago:
Yes they do, which I said above.
Yes they are more optimized, that’s how they are able to keep up as well as they do. A 3070 completely blows away the current console gen specs wise. Due to optimizations, it is a lot closer than it looks on paper but 3070 is still ahead by a sizeable margin.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out 3 days ago:
It’s literally still above the requirements for high graphics at over 60 FPS. I assume this is not even considering DLSS or frame gen, which would double performance.
Consoles are the base experience. Horizon 5, which is 5 years old, runs at the equivalent of medium graphics settings at best, with resolution scaling. Performance mode for a constant 60 makes even more compromises. Horizon 6 will likely be worse.
3070 is crushing that, you’re good. For a while in fact. And that’s just assuming you’re playing only brand new games.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 requirements are out 3 days ago:
The graphics are better, new & more cars, some new event types. It’s released infrequently enough that it allows the game to breathe and make you want more. Yeah it’s pretty similar, but like where do you go with the open world concept to evolve, I really don’t know. Add more of a story?

A trusted streaming box without ads. It will stream far better and not monitor you.

On your last note, I agree with you that empathy is important. I do give a shit what other people think and feel, but not when they are clearly line stepping, judgmental, and disrespectful. It’s literally impossible to people please because people have wildly varying and opposite opinions.
- Comment on Le boo hoo 1 week ago:
It’s usually pretty subtle. People will quietly lose respect for you and shut you out over time.
That being said, I dont give a shit about people’s perception of my manliness or sexuality. I’m straight, trained in martial arts and boxing, can shoot well, can fix things around the house decently well, moderately know my way around a car. But I’ll be sensitive and open with my feelings if I want to, which is frequent. I cry at weddings, funerals, sad movies, and even when I think about how lucky I am to have my wife. I joke about kissing the homes goodnight, and flirt back with gay dudes that hit in me (without leading them on).
I’m often DISAPPOINTED in people for how they react and judge sometimes, but always happier when those people remove themselves from my life. I never let it affect who I am.

- Comment on [question] help me pick a game 2 weeks ago:
Sorry to say that I don’t have much of a preference unless you’re in a specific mood. They’re all good games but do different things narratively and I dont know if gameplay or cut scenes make you want tk really dig into it more.
- Comment on If Tyler Perry is a billionaire with his own successful movie studio then why are his films so bad? 2 weeks ago:
There is an extremely thorough (and long) video on this topic. I didn’t think I’d finish it or even watch half when I clicked it, but this guy is very informative and presents the info in a straightforward yet engaging way:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpgqWZyAJtM
If you still noped out on that runtime, here is my less professional summary:
Ultimately it is about the race to the bottom of enshittification that we are experiencing in all aspects of life, and “art” transforming into “content” is chief among them. Perry’s built in audience is huge, yet one that is practically never pandered to: conservative black women. He’s not even particularly good at this and the way he does it is problematic, but it’s enough that he is attempting at all. His rise to being ridiculously OP and successful is propped up by black excellence truthers even though they may or may not actually like his content. He has spun his truly impressive success into deals with streaming services and deteriorated from mediocre to literal slop that rapidly produces enough episodes to get into syndication immediately, because the deals are signed for 100 episodes. Since he writes, directs, produces, and often acts in all these projects, and because the unknown actors do not grt a chance over several years of popularity to renegotiate their contracts even if thr show gets popular, he takes the lion’s share of the profits. 2 lion’s shares really.
He also makes some fascinating points about how he…kinda CAN’T get more deep with it. To start looking deeper about the topics he discusses would entail stripping away the patriarchy of the black Christian church, or to point a finger towards the societal problems and cycles of abuse that cause the villains of his stories (usually black men) to act the way they do. And as a true believer in capitalism, he can’t do that. Making his characters deeper may requirw addressing the ways that he’s a queer man one way or another, whether he’s gay, gender fluid, or both, which he can’t do as the church has a don’t ask don’t tell policy. So he’s stuck in a pretend world of bootstraps, one dimensional villains, and not just forgiving the cycles of abuse, but buying into it as a strength.
If even that is Tl; Dr: it’s the story of every other billionaire, really. He makes his money off of exploiting others. Usually young black people who are hungry for success. Just sucks that he can’t have empathy since he literally started from the bottom like the people he manipulates, unlike every other billionaire.
