Most don’t even care about rights, god or children, it’s about owning the libs.

Which is also kinda not a thing. It doesn’t know what to do with itself except skins and reboots, can’t call it a genre defining game (anymore).

To say it’s a “4 lane overwatch”, overwatch still has to exist
- Comment on Morgan Freeman Explains To Keanu Reeves Why We Don't Have Free Energy - Chain Reaction (1996) - YouTube 3 weeks ago:
The issue with that argument is that with free energy, we can start properly applying concepts of UBI and dare I say it socialist policies and collapsing that part of the economy in a good way, globally.
Revealing it at a pace the world can handle just means that the people in control now can keep being in control while they find ways of controlling it. Yes it would wipe out a big part of our way of life, but it’s the bad part anyway, the part that is pretty rapidly killing us

“Let’s be clear what’s going on here,” Ms. Ernst said. “From the Senate to the White House, Democrats do not have anything to run on, no agenda that resonates with the American people. So instead they are fear-mongering in the name of politics.”
Oof the projection is strong with this one.

- Comment on 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good? 5 weeks ago:
I saved 50k on my house because some private company was hired to do an inspection and they noted a 40 page report with all sorts of shit that wasn’t really important.
Nobody wanted to buy it after that. Luckily I build houses so I know what to look for and cut him a deal to get rid of it. Aside from having an electrician come in to double check all the aluminum wiring connections (and making plans to replace the aluminium wires), not one thing in those 40 pages should have affected the price of the house.

Depends on where you live.
The bank will often send an inspector for a loan, but it’s literally him just walking around and validating there is a house and it’s not in shambles. He’ll look at things like the roof from the outside and when it was redone, but isn’t going to hop into your crawlspace to look for signs of water damage.
Then you have the “private” inspection company that you can pay to check your home for yourself. These companies are know to cost a lot of money, often detailing things they can’t be sure are “risks”. They’ll go in the crawlspace and note all sorts of things.
On my house the expensive private inspection said “the roof here is kinda saggin and there’s a bump there, it could be anything”. In the same report he accidentally shows a picture from under the roof where you can see there was a repair and some extra framing, causing the small “bump” that is purely aesthetic. Didn’t mention that part.
Getting someone to look at it post purchase is likely going to be much cheaper, and I’m definitely not recommending people don’t get inspections when buying houses if they don’t know what they’re doing.

And clearly, he works/lives in a place where he has this kind of character around. It’s not really fair to say “why are people like this in general”.
Like if this guy works at a redneck pawnshop in the middle of nowhere, I can imagine he gets a disproportionate amount of these opinions from people who can’t read the room.

- Comment on Big Tech Is Faking AI 1 month ago:
“one fraudulent company from India”. Which part of this being Amazon’s walk out technology makes it not big tech, or a “weak ai story”?
AI is turning out to be a lot less promising than we thought, unless new breakthroughs are made the models are plateauing or even getting worse, at least relative to the amount of energy they consume… And companies like openai are in rush to sell you the idea for trillions of dollars before everyone realises the limits. Same as amazon trying to sell us Ai powered shopping.
- Comment on Sony Confirmed To Be Behind HD2 Delisting Of 180 Countries, Not Valve 1 month ago:
So there was no speculation, you just hoped these articles straight up lied.
- Comment on Sony Confirmed To Be Behind HD2 Delisting Of 180 Countries, Not Valve 1 month ago:
Any articles for this speculation or uncertainty? Because that’s also something Valve would be quick to shut down and point to Sony, legally.
Or is this all reddit threads?
- Comment on Sony Confirmed To Be Behind HD2 Delisting Of 180 Countries, Not Valve 1 month ago:
Steam doesn’t push changelists from developer accounts, and especially not without making a major announcement. This is why all the reporting on this has been clear AH delisted it. There are countless articles confirming this days ago.
- Comment on Sony Confirmed To Be Behind HD2 Delisting Of 180 Countries, Not Valve 1 month ago:
There’s been confirmation for 7 days.
This is steams change list. This is a developer update.
The “speculation” was just clickbait. There are multiple articles confirming it over the last week.
- Comment on Sony Confirmed To Be Behind HD2 Delisting Of 180 Countries, Not Valve 1 month ago:
There was no confusion around who delisted it

And like, why are people surprised it’s only getting worse? Of course it is, we knew long ago the removal of 3rd party app was the beginning of the master plan to monetize our communities.

- Comment on You won’t need a PSN account to play Ghost of Tsushima single-player, devs reassure after Helldivers 2 fallout 1 month ago:
It is up to the devs, prior to signing any contracts though. In this case they know it’s not part of the deal.
Arrowhead agreed to it, they just didn’t think it would be that bad. And yeah after signing their hands were tied, but that’s normal.

- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
Unless there’s evidence that AH got a special deal, there’s no chance they didn’t know this was an eventual requirement.
I’ve been an engineer in the AA/AAA games industry for almost 2 decades, my job often involves assessing the technical feasibility of games that big publishers like Sony want to invest in/ acquire.
Someone somewhere at AW agreed to shove PSN sign-in requirements in the deal, hoping it would blow over like many games before. (e.g rocket league / epic account debacle). Now the devs are sorry it’s not working out and say “their hands are tied”, but they must have known this was coming. There are way too many legal ramifications for this to be a random power-move by Sony.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
What does it matter if the game “launches successfully” if it doesn’t sustain itself? They knew theyd likely lose their players but they were hoping theyd be special - this game is not successful in the end.
Your entire argument boils down to: they wouldn’t have been able to cheat us into thinking this was a good game without sony. If theyre going to take my money and kill the game anyway, it would have been better to not make it at all. That’s what thousands of indie devs have to contend with every day.
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 month ago:
So many threads about Hello Games (No Man’s Sky) and other Sony backed titles being “victims”. They knew what they were doing,
- Comment on Anon lives with their parents 1 month ago:
Youre forgetting that most people even living at their parents saving 100% of their income couldnt realistically buy a house cash in 3 years, if at all.
It’s also unrealistic that we should have to bunk with our parents and spend 0$ on anything ever to afford the cheapest house. That’s definitely not how our parents lived. I have a buddy living rent free at my house atm, and I dont get angry when he spends 100$ at the bar instead of on his next apartment, people need to live a bit too and 100$ is inconsequential, at least it should be.

Where do you live that houses are 100-200k and programmers make 75k?
