- Comment on Streaming didnt exist in 1970 1 week ago:
They were called broadcasts back then.
They still are. I get 50 channels OTA and I have a DVR to record them if I need to. I stream nothing but my own media off Plex. All this costs me $0/mo.

The character is real but sadly, the poster is not.
- Comment on Trump kicks Tucker Carlson out of MAGA movement after talker’s Iran war criticism: ‘Lost his way’ 2 weeks ago:
Then why wouldn’t he be all about this? The Iran war is massively improving Russia’s bottom line.
I’m not saying he’s not a massive cunt, I’m just saying.
- Comment on thx for the diabeetus 2 weeks ago:
Ranch has more salt than anything and more MSG than garlic, look at the ingredients on a pouch. Ingredients are listed by order of volume. It has more corn starch than onion. It has basically traces of anything else. I know this because I spent not a small amount of time replicating Ranch dressing.
Although there are a hundred MSG-conspiracy-nut websites that will tell you you don’t need MSG to make Ranch dressing, there is no Ranch dressing recipe that tastes anything at all like Ranch without MSG. Full stop.
- Comment on thx for the diabeetus 2 weeks ago:
“Ranch” flavor comes basically 100% from salt and MSG. There is a microscopic amount of herbs that make next to no difference. Ask anyone who thinks MSG is bad for you if they have cut out Ranch dressing for some hilarity. (May not apply to non-Americans).
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 2 weeks ago:
I do not trust that Microsoft will be doing anything other than pushing subscription-based streaming. Call me when they have a robust storefront selling games on par with Steam and hardware that allows you to play these games on or offline. Until then, imma press X to doubt.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 2 weeks ago:
And yet Helldivers 2 comes out in 2024 and sets the world on fire. Seems to me that gaming is perfectly fine with live service as long as it’s in line with community expectations and not s soulless cash grab.
- Comment on Honk 2 weeks ago:
Technically correct.
- Comment on bold words 3 weeks ago:
This is a cute exercise in lateral thinking and all but will past me know that it is future me talking? Won’t matter what the fuck I say otherwise, the little shit won’t be listening to any authority figures.
- Comment on Now that the DOW is below 50,000, are we allowed to care again? 3 weeks ago:
Well I’m not going to call 1024, people might think I’m some kind of nut who thinks the market is algorithmically controlled.
- Comment on Now that the DOW is below 50,000, are we allowed to care again? 3 weeks ago:
I’m calling it now: up 1,000 on Monday.

Seriously, get like… a 2020 MacBook. $300
My daily driver I use in the field is from 2012. They last forever.
- Comment on When you know your boss is an insane moron 1 month ago:
Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can’t see me, and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I’d say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
- Comment on Why would anyone do this? 1 month ago:
Why would anyone ask why anyone would do this? Look around you *gestures broadly*.

These all represent the good old days to me. Almost like we were manufacturing our own angst because things were relatively nice.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 2 months ago:
There’s zero chance there won’t be a Fallout 5 but Elder Scrolls is their next major game, so it won’t be soon.
If it came out tomorrow it wouldn’t be “soon,” Fallout 4 came out 11 years ago.
In the meantime there’s a great free Fallout game for anyone who wants it despite it not being titled Fallout 5.
The game is currently listed for $39.99 on Steam. Reviews are “mixed” after 5 years of Bethesda adding content to the game, which originally released to overwhelmingly negative reviews, so not “great”.
It doesn’t require a subscription or microtransactions and making it sound like some sort of mobile game only shows you don’t know what it is.
The game does not charge for a subscription, but you most certainly have to have one, because you have to login to the game. There would be no way for them to try and sell you shit through their microtransaction store every single time you login otherwise. Which they do. You are not obliged to buy them, but you are obliged to view ads for them.
Now then. Every single thing you just said is demonstrably wrong. What exactly makes you the authority on what Bethesda intends to do with Fallout?
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 2 months ago:
I’m not sure what your point is - is it that they made Fallout 76 so you could play it for free? Or that Fallout 76 is proof they’re going to make Fallout 5? Or what.
- Comment on Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show 2 months ago:
Bethesda is not going to make a new Fallout game while Fallout 76 keeps printing money.
I’ve said this all along, they want subscriptions and mtx, they don’t want to make video games. Starfield was the last one we will get and we only got that because it was Todd’s stupid baby. ESO and F76 are where they want to be going forward. They will keep expanding them and accepting people’s money and license TV shows now I guess.
- Comment on Baby teeth 2 months ago:
She probably has an odontoma that redirected the eruption of her adult teeth.
Or is a vampire.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 2 months ago:
I think the real problem is a government structure that lends itself to being captured by monied interests. The problem of capitalism chasing the money is only a problem because we have a government unable to properly tax the wealthy to ensure no one can amass the kind of wealth that makes it possible to capture the government.

A nice M.L.T. - a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe…
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 3 months ago:
Yeah, was gonna say - this guy is another one of the “always, in every context, thinking about gay sex” closeted Republicans. Religion does this to them, the systematic and merciless repression of sexuality causes it to become an immense burden.

- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 4 months ago:
Well. Robin Williams, a (hilarious) American comedian and actor, gained much of his early fame/notoriety on a TV show called Mork and Mindy circa 1978 in which Robin played an alien named Mork.
The show was actually a spinoff of Happy Days, where the “Mork” character first appeared.
“Bjork and Bindi” is clearly a play on words that leverages this.

I barely managed to understand this and I am from this era.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Totally normal, just out of curiosity what was the song?
I had a guy whose name I did know help me out in a bad situation about 30 years ago. But about six months later, I moved across the country and never saw him again. I just recalled him to mind a few weeks ago and… I can’t remember his name.
It felt kind of like a betrayal, I should have remembered, he was a huge help to me when a lot of people hung me out to dry. But such is the imperfection of meat memory. :(
