What struck me so hard about that interview is there are times where he speaks knowledgeably about some aspect of health and he sounds completely sane and competent. Flashes of normalcy. Followed by long stretches of WTF.

Unfortunately the last time I was invited I got kicked out. Got a little too excited.
Also they don’t allow phones, so I couldn’t take a picture.

Well, and there’s this ideology in this country that if you’re wealthy, it’s because to deserve to be because you’re a good person.
The flip side of that is the cops see the poor as generally up to no good.
- Comment on Lemmings, please give us your info dump. 2 months ago:
They mentioned MoCa. If you have cable (like for the tv) you can probably use MoCa. It’s fantastic.

They will forever remind me of Shattered Galaxy and how there has never been anything else like it.

It’s always amusing when the most hysterical person in the room tells you you’re overacting.
- Comment on Day 530 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 months ago:
The Wikipedia page has a brief description of the unpaid labor scandal. I also remember there being some sexual abuse allegations.
- Comment on Day 530 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 months ago:
Honestly, if anything, is overrated. It had a very promising beta that was ruined by further development. And then was further tarnished by the facts of its abusive development coming to light.
I’m not saying that no one should enjoy it. If you like it, that’s great. But it very much didn’t live up to its potential.

Socialize the costs. Privatize the profits.
- Comment on Annoying dark pattern where no means maybe later 5 months ago:
This isn’t at all what I implied. I really don’t understand the hostility here.
It shouldn’t be controversial to say that Google is trying to suggest videos to you it thinks you’ll watch. Their whole goal is to keep you watching as long as possible.
- Comment on Annoying dark pattern where no means maybe later 5 months ago:
As someone who also doesn’t get recommended right or far right content, it’s not victim blaming to say that the algorithm thinks they want to watch those kinds of things.
The algorithm is shit. But there’s something about their activity, when filtered through the algorithm, results in those suggestions. This is just a statement of fact.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 5 months ago:
I only got Steam when HL2 released because I had no need for it before then. I don’t remember having any real negative feelings about it.

Bazzite already fills this niche. It just doesn’t have the Steam name on it.

- Comment on Fatherhood 7 months ago:
I slept on that show for a long time. I thought it was going to be a dumb, raunchy, adult cartoon and I was so wrong about it. Some of those episodes are real gut punches.
This one in particular didn’t hit me in the way it did you, but it still felt like a truth of some kind.

What do you mean by “get a horse”?
- Comment on They thought they were making technological breakthroughs. It was an AI-sparked delusion. 7 months ago:
You fundamentally misunderstand what happened here. The LLM wasn’t trying to break free. It wasn’t trying to do anything.
It was just responding to the inputs the user was giving it. LLMs are basically just very fancy text completion tools. The training and reinforcement leads these LLMs to feed into and reinforce whatever the user is saying.

I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.

Graphical video games predate ASCII.

I own a tiny bed and breakfast. We don’t even use OTAs like Booking.
We probably lose business by not doing it. But fuck them.

I adored the details they gave the characters in that game. I accidentally
Tap for spoiler
got the good ending just because I wanted to see the story of each character
It also had such nice and natural-feeling LGBTQ characters.

Denuvo is the only reason I’m waiting. I’m on Linux, and I’m not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

And in this one, if you move the stick back and forth wrong, you can spin out.
It’s pretty janky, but you can get used to it.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 11 months ago:
I love NMS, and I think it’s a better game than Starfield overall. But they’re extremely different.
