- Comment on Satisfactory now has controller support, so there’s no excuse for your bad lines 1 day ago:
I don’t see the point. How are you going to alt-tab back and forth between the game and Excel with a controller? Pfffft.
- Comment on Petty pedantry 1 day ago:
Ok but what type of LAN gauge? Are you talking like an ethernet cable tester, a protocol analyzer, what? Are we dealing with fiber, ethernet, or even shudder token ring?

My friend, you are railing against the human condition. That’s just how we roll, no cap.
- Comment on Why Chrome only? 2 days ago:
I have an very long blacklist of companies for this reason.
The problem with standing up for your privacy is that it massively diminishes the resources available to you. I’m down to shopping at Costco as a single adult, because I had to say fuck you to Target recently, and my local grocery store was busy doing anti-union bullshit at the same time. So I’m driving further and probably paying more in the long run.
But they aren’t principles if you don’t have to give something up to stick by them.

I think I remember you from that Faces of Addiction poster.
- Comment on What is a TV show that was one of your favourites, but just went on for far too long? 1 week ago:
Of course you’re right. I just wish we lived on a world where it stopped sooner and we could enjoy rewatching it, even if it was incomplete - like Firefly. The way it ended, I’ll never watch the show again and that sucks.

I’ll pick the low hanging fruit and say Game of Thrones, because it was great right up until it wasn’t.

Treat others as you’d like to be treated.

I prefer 100%.

Yeah sorry, the Unites States of America is gonna be out of order for the next decade or so. We’re working on getting angry enough to get rid of the fuckers who caused it, but it’s gonna take a while.
- Comment on Is this true? Software companies had diversity quotas to meet, and realized it was easier to turn autistic men into women than it was to turn women into software engineers 2 weeks ago:
Same troll that posted yesterday, just block them.

Same answer to all your questions:
It’s probably time to see that psychiatrist.

Pretty sure there’s not much question about it…
- Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the thing is we don’t want that either. We just don’t care. We see these posts every time there’s a sizable Reddit emigration. I’m not shitting on you, just telling you that you won’t find a lot of interest in that topic here.
- Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Most people here do not give a shit about Reddit anymore and frankly are tired of hearing about it. We really don’t want the dregs of Reddit coming over here. We got most of the good people when the API bullshit started 2 years ago, and that’s why this place is great. We don’t want to become what we left behind.
- Comment on Deep Rock Galactic roguelike dev says innovation for innovation's sake is too expensive to survive: "We're a studio of 50 people with bills to pay" 2 weeks ago:
Ecstatic! I’m sure it will go bad somehow, though.
- Comment on Is it asshole behavior to hate someone for saying "Hi, how are you?" 2 weeks ago:
Definitely schoolyard behavior. Doesn’t make it an invalid concern or unworthy of advice, but a lot of adults are probably going to have a hard time relating to this situation. Most will look at this and have a reaction of “no, this situation is not ok”, or maybe “what’s the big deal?” if they lack empathy. Because this wouldn’t be ok with emotionally healthy and functional adults. But it also wouldn’t happen with adults (which is how, OP, you gave yourself away). Kids are much more casually cruel to each other than adults because their empathy is still developing and their perspectives acquired via life experience are still limited.

I don’t know anything about the NG+ system because I steered way clear of Starfield, but it sounds like somebody at Bethesda saw people playing Skyrim over and over and thought “How can we monetize that”, hence the grind you’re alluding to. The expected you to encounter it organically because of course the game was such hot shit everyone was gonna play it forever. Oops.
Call me a cynic if you want but these are the guys who invented paid cosmetics.
- Comment on Valve "followed" 1.7 million Steam users for over a year, and now reports those gamers spent $20 million on microtransactions and another $73 million on games and DLC 2 weeks ago:
$20 million on microtransactions
Please don’t.
$73 million on games and DLC
$42 per person average? Those are rookie numbers!
- Comment on Welp. 3 weeks ago:
Orange Diaper is burning my country’s goodwill to the ground and I’m so happy to see the rest of the world telling us to fuck off, and more importantly fucking with Americas wallet.
Consequences for bad behavior is the only way it ever gets corrected.

I read this headline and immediately raced into the bathroom to see what was up, but yeah, they’re still there. Everything seems fine.
- Comment on Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? 3 weeks ago:
I have a hard time believing Purina makes some kind of special pet food that nobody else makes. Ask your vet about alternatives.
My cats need prescription food and I buy Royal Canin.
I completely boycott Amazon, Google, Walmart, Target, Starbucks, Nestle, the list goes on. It takes a tiny bit of effort. Most people aren’t willing to do even that.
- Comment on /c/NotTheOnion post got downvoted because people didn't like the (real) article title 4 weeks ago:
I wonder what the psychology of posting about being downvoted is. I’m a pretty opinionated dude and get downvoted from time to time, but I just move on with my life instead of turning it into a big production or even acknowledging it, really. Not everyone’s gonna like everything you write, and it’s not like you’re going for some high score to get into social media paradise or something. Think about where you’re spending your energy man. This ain’t a good use of anyone’s time.
- Comment on How do you feel about someone taking the coins people tossed into a fountain or other public waterworks display for "wishes?" 4 weeks ago:
Hell yeah. They are always wet, usually a little dirty, and they are constantly putting on a show.

That’s nvts.
- Comment on Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game? 1 month ago:
Doom 2 totally ripped off Doom. Barely any changes.
Not sure why Doom devs didn’t sue.

Intelligent people tend to lean left. We’re not really interested in becoming ‘average’. Go to Facebook if that’s what you’re looking for.

Scammer posting to multiple communities. Report them.
- Comment on When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes? 1 month ago:
Never understood why they can’t make a missile detect this and just aim for the center point where all the heat / chaff / IR is coming from.
- Comment on When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes? 1 month ago:
You are incorrect. Many people have been killed by bullets falling back to earth. There is even a law in Arizona named after a little girl killed that way.
Shooting guns in the air should result in prison and lifetime forfeiture of the privilege to own firearms. It’s irresponsible and extremely negligent.
And I’m not anti-gun. I own 3 and enjoy target shooting. What I am, is anti-gun ownership by morons.
