I mean, it’s 4chan. It says (or at least it used to) say that only a fool would take its stories as real right on the webpage
- Comment on Former Obama Speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz Melts Down Over Gaza Footage ‘Destroying’ Israel’s Narrative 5 days ago:
Yup. It’s pretty easy to build a case that the Israeli government is in the wrong and blatantly genocidal based on Ben-Gvir’s comments alone; I don’t need to point to tik tok videos of starving children. Liebensraum was wrong in the 1930’s and 40’s and it’s still wrong today.

Now I’m interested to hear her complete her thought because as far as I’m concerned yes the weak and powerless should be protected from overwhelming force they’re unable to stop or defend themselves from. My guess is some manner of “but Hamas”

“I don’t even know where to start”
Aka I don’t have a counter argument so I’m going to lean on a thought terminating cliche.
- Comment on Samus Aran drawing I made 1 week ago:
Not surprised you skipped other M. I haven’t heard a single good thing about that one
- Comment on Samus Aran drawing I made 1 week ago:
I had so much fun with dread earlier this year. It motivated me to buy and mod an original GBA so I could finally beat the copy of Fusion I’ve had since I was a kid. That really got the ball rolling on me finishing as many Metroids as I can ahead of Prime 4. I think I’ve finished 4-5 now. Still haven’t done Super Metroid, which everyone tells me is the best, but I’m a snob and I want to get a Super Nintendo controller to play it with.

Only a couple more weeks until Prime 4!

Yes, there are some pretty fun weapons in the Gears sequels. I like the torque bow.
- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 1 week ago:
Yeah his framing is pretty trumpian which is gross even in the (doubtful) event he’s actually right. God forbid journalists do journalism and cover a company which has been caught stealing IP multiple times, and god forbid someone ask someone involved what their take was on the matter. Dumb.
- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 1 week ago:
“I understand that you like to stir up controversy, so here you go: the whistleblower, the truth seeker. This is my account, so here’s how I actually feel: you’re wrong and misinformed,” Mielgo replied. “No assets. As far as I know, Bungie accidentally used a texture, mostly typos and fonts, all lost in a wonderful massive creative pipeline.
“All this ass it was genuinely a mistake, blown out of proportion by people like you and hungry sphincter press. Regardless, to your pseudowistle, none of the text/fonts ever reached our team. The Bungie team is fantastic, and the work they did before us was f****ng outstanding. I loved working with them.”
It’s fuckin weird for a creative to act this dismissive towards IP theft, even if it was just one texture. How does one even accidentally steal a texture someone else made?

I said always, I just used an example from this century
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 2 weeks ago:
I don’t even think they really hid it from the console space. Their entire PS3 launch was peak hubris. They just don’t step on rakes as much as Microsoft does, and Nintendo would shoot a litter of puppies if it helped them protect their IP rights, so they look better in comparison.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 2 weeks ago:
Turning into? They’ve always been this way. It’s been like 20 years since they decided it was ok to install rootkits on people’s PCs to protect their IP rights.

Been waiting for a competitor to the meta quest. Looks like my patience has paid off. I hope it’s not too pricey/compromised

Unbound hooked me so much I bought an OG GBA and put it on a cartridge like it’s a traditional game

I still use mine. I modded it and it can play a ton of games. The Pokemon romhacks are fun

- Comment on I hate it when a show gets a different actor for a main character. 1 month ago:
I stopped watching with how badly they changed the story midway through season two so the switch to Liam didn’t really make a difference to me. I don’t understand why show runners sometimes work on material they clearly don’t like. I guess a gig is a gig

Especially for something as easy to get as drm free ebooks. There are ways to support authors without giving Amazon money
- Comment on Cynical and pessimistic people. 🫤 1 month ago:
I always find it weird when I get downvoted for my opinion. There’s nothing in your comment that warrants the downvotes, imo. I don’t love my job but at the same time my life isn’t my job. I always told my nephews that boring people get bored and if they feel bored they need to do something about it because nobody else will.
