James Woods is an equally terrible human being.
- Comment on WB Games owner Skydance introducing five-day in-office mandate alongside 'Voluntary Buyout Program' 2 weeks ago:
Ah, I see they’re employing (not people, obviously) the DOGE/Russell Voughmit tactic of “make the workplace a living hell to commute to and work in so people feel like they have no choice but to quit.”
- Comment on 'I need a job to save my life': Inside the desperate hunt for work in America 2 weeks ago:
Can’t find jobs to get paid and afford/qualify for healthcare which pays for health providers and medical practitioners.
Truly the Upside-Down States of Amerikkka.

Hey, I didn"t consent to this picture of me in the shower!
Anyone wanna help me find a job in networking, cybersecurity, or data entry?
- Comment on Report: Microsoft explored selling or spinning off Xbox division after Phil Spencer's exit 2 weeks ago:
The only people I could imagine would have the means and desire to buy Xbox from Microsoft are Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, or the Saudi government.
sigh That’s gonna be the end goal, huh? Wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up in the hands of Bonesaw or the Ellisons.

So the route that David Zaslav took with Warner Bros. to make it easier to sell to Paramount.

No thanks.
- Comment on You can now play a modded browser Daggerfall. Support both online and single player! 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, unfortunately most of these decomps and recomps are at best “AI-assisted” and at worst completely vibe-coded.
Here’s a list of non-slop recomp/decomp projects:
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
That’s so SEGA.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Huh, seems like despite their massive failures, layoffs, patented ads in games, and outrageous price increases, Xbox seems to at least be trying to do an about face unlike Playsta-
AAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNND IT’S GONE.
- Comment on Amazon has over 1 million robot workers. What’s next for human employees? 3 weeks ago:
Pour out a piss bottle for the human workers who will be fired because of this, and prepare for those empty piss bottles to be filled with oil as the robots leak into them after being worked through their breaks.
- Comment on Console market craters as Xbox sales crash 33% to the lowest since launch 25 years ago, PS5 sales drop 25% 4 weeks ago:
These companies have said plainly that they don’t see prices returning to pre-pandemic levels even if the current economic crisis is resolved. Corpos are too greedy, and the people in power are even greedier.
- Comment on My people need me 5 weeks ago:
Yep, they have the opportunity to build bridges, but they choose to build walls and gatekeep.
- Comment on I regret to inform you all that I will not be purchasing the OoT remake. 1 month ago:
so much snappier than running on emulator.
Yep, that’s because it’s a decompilation of the original game’s code under the hood, which was then recompiled as a native PC application.
Meaning Nintendo can’t do shit about it, unless HarbourMasters decides to start making charging for their PC ports?
- Comment on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes 1 month ago:
I’d suggest looking through F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid and other FOSS repos for mobile games. I’ve found a bunch of mobile games that have as much depth as the ad-laden ones.
Hell, the reason I got back into mobile gaming recently was because the developer of Poinpy decided to make their game free on Google Play, remove microtransactions, and make the entire game playable from start to finish with extra modes. It feels like a Nintendo game in the best possible way. The main character Poinpy even looks like Kirby, which is reinforced by the ending of the game.
It’s ironic that even Nintendo hasn’t gotten mobile gaming down pat, either going the gacha route with Mario Kart Tour and Fire Emblem: Waifus, or trying to do the paid model and failing at it with Mario Run and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

Indies, romhacks, fangames, recompilations, mods, etc can extend the life of any game nowadays.
- Comment on Costly Disappointment 💸 1 month ago:
Lemme give you a personal example of how fucked everything is:
I was fired from my cyber security job back in March 2025. The only interview I got with a real human was with this one IT repair company that repairs school laptops. The interview went pretty well. Y’know, aside from the interviewer looking at my resume before asking me why I was applying for the job as I was overqualified. He then followed up with, “Is the job market really that bad now?”
I did my best to answer in a way that made me seem enthusiastic for the job, but deep down I knew he was right, and that I was overqualified for the job. Needless to say, they didn’t move forward with me.
That was July 2025, and I haven’t found a damn job since.
If we don’t get tribunals for every single fucker who fucked the economy sideways, there is no hope or future for this country.
- Comment on Costly Disappointment 💸 1 month ago:
Yep, experience is what employers are looking for. It’s best for college students to work alongside getting a degree if they have the time and resources to do so, even if it’s a work study or internship.
- Comment on Strange Dichotomy 1 month ago:
In most cases, yes.
But then you get a Mario Strikers Battle League, or a Pokemon Scarlet/Violet once in a while.

- Goodreads (never had it) to Bookwyrm
- Tiktok (only used it once, no account) to Loops

How does Xbox not see the PR disaster that is Compulsion Games releasing a game starring a black female protagonist, and being forced to buy it and the company’s freedom and independence?!
