“Nice kill count, bro and 0 deaths! Damn, want to do that for real? :D”
- Comment on Despite Steam's concerning domination over the market, one of the things that I love about it is... 11 hours ago:
I hate how steam reviews have turned into yet more soapboxes to get political over than reviewing the games themselves.
Why should I care about how you feel about a publisher when you reviewed one of their older games just to project your opinion?

Same. Especially after I’ve had shithead trolls from Steam Forums shit all over my reviews to where I went through the process of tediously re-posting 120 reviews. Yeah, real pieces of work the people are in those forums.
- Comment on Why does watching or partaking in mainstream media make me uncomfortable? 3 days ago:
I’m going to have to answer this based on my personal experience and I’d know because your detailing is very similar.
Mainstream content reinforces the idea that the world and society all but feel manufactured. They’re the things that got chosen to be popular, they’re what is going to be market, they’re what is going to be talked about and so on and so forth. Sometimes it is chosen but other times, there’s definitely a formula in the works that just gravitates people instantly.
That’s all fine and well. But if you’re an individual who’ve developed their own tastes and you’re not getting in any engagement with anyone about those tastes, you’re going to get lost in the fold very quickly because you’re not part of what everyone considers the ‘in’ thing.
Your last bit tells me that it’s a you-thing. You dropped everything that you liked, because why? Because you saw merchandise being made in a store? But it’s like, did anyone force what you enjoyed down your throat? You’re waiting for the hype to die down? I don’t get that, because all that you’re doing, is limiting your personal enjoyment and your personal moderation about how much you enjoy something.
You don’t have to go out, buy the merchandise, buy anything that so much has your favorite thing on it. You don’t have to engage with the mass volume of the community that gets noisy to engage. You’ve sucked out whatever interest that was left over things that are optional. It’s one thing if a series changes because of fan demand, that I can understand and it has happened to people’s favorite series.
But if a series is still going for what it is, unaltered and naturally enjoyed but still popular but you want to sit it out anyways? That’s kindof on you.

The ingredients you’re using. They all have their own calories.

Someone doesn’t know what the ‘?’ means.

- Comment on "It's Just Not As Much Fun For Me Anymore" - Warren Spector announces his retirement 1 week ago:
Without this man, there’d be no System Shock or a Thief series or rather in the way that they’ve been.
- Comment on Was it really a big deal what Kyle Grass said on his birthday, that he wished the shooter did not miss (referring to Trump) in Australia? Kind of seems like he's been blacklisted along side Jack Black 1 week ago:
I would’ve said the same thing. I mean, Trump has been spending every single day, rallying his voterbase for years, to commit violence among those he and they themselves, do not like. ICE has been treated like his personal modern day gestapo. I too wish that that the shooter didn’t miss, would’ve saved millions in America so much hassle, trouble, stress and division.
