Rules 34 is “if it exists, there’s porn of it”.
Rule 35 is the truly interesting one here though “if the porn doesn’t exist, you are responsible for creating it”
Don’t quite me exactly on those, I’m about 20 years out from my /b/ days.

Can confirm. Skinny numetal kid in my teens, too many kitchen and bar jobs in my 20’s and now mid 40’s on Zoloft and apparently old goth dads are on the menu.
Cheers man. May the well never run dry.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 3 weeks ago:
There is also The Crew, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon as well as Gran Turismo to mention a few more that I have played. Plus a whole slew of hardcore F1 titles, Nascar titles and the Trackmania series.
There might be something in there that catches your attention. Could just be a case of these not surfacing in your algorithm to get noticed.
- Comment on Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher 5 weeks ago:
Interesting that when asked to bring a self founded viewpoint you return to the core conceit despite presenting counter arguments to the contrary in all prior responses.
Once again, what would prove to YOU that someone had a history or resume to be valid in a statement about prior experience in regards to new ventures?

Take the focus off this exact scenario and Bethesda Dev. Throughout the thread, there has been several other scenarios presented but none have hit home with you. What I’m asking is, what previous qualifications for a new role in an exact industry would be something you’d accept as proof of validity?
This isn’t meant to be confrontational, I’m legitimately curious. I see these sentiments a lot on the Internet and it leads to a flurry of downvotes without anyone asking the person receiving them what would be their desired outcome / goal.
So to frame it in that regards, would someone being a lead engine developer give more credence to a solo project? Being a project manager? Having a varied CV that showed growth across a company providing a base understanding of several different disciplines without a targeted focus on one? Or something as simple as “they worked on the questlines that I personal liked”?
Genuinely interested in what would make YOU happy or impressed by an announcement like this.

Flip the conversation. What WOULD show a level of experience that equated to quality to you?

Add Blackbraid to that list as well. Amazing one man native black metal.

- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
Absolutely agree with this statement. They seem to have no pipeline for keeping up with this console lifecycle.
As the owner of a Series X and PS5, they’re just streaming boxes that I occasionally use to play stuff that won’t run under Proton.

I think we may be nearing that culture leak again. This movie may have ironically released a bit too early.
I see jncos and goth kids with skateboards all over right now. They look identical to my peer group growing up squarely in the mid-90’s. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this era crow merch flooding hot topic next year.

- Comment on Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty 3 months ago:
The question is, does the responsibility fall on you to choose games that fit your skill level or the developer to compromise their vision to accomodate a broader audience? Would we take the same stance with other art? I find a lot of Foreign Arthouse Films to be slow paced and unenjoyable. Should the writers and directors be required to make an alternate cut to accomodate my preferences?

It’s crazy what we allow. Especially considering how abysmal the health care is.
When you see the factors, our inevitable crisis’s are less shocking but just as painful.

Anytime I travel out of the States the food is (almost) always better. Even the worst meals in Europe are generally better quality wise than here.
I try to maintain a healthier diet when I return but, man is it difficult when everything seems to be processed.
- Comment on The new detachable JSAUX Dock will fit a Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, Legion Go and more 3 months ago:
100% with you. They have one of those unfortunate names that looks like a million other Ali rebrands on Amazon.
Aside from that, we own quite a few of their Steam Deck accessories and all seem to be working great.

These scenarios make me wonder if we’ll see a physical renaissance for movies in a decade like we did with vinyl and more recently cassettes.
I’ve been a staunch hoarder of physical media since the 80’s and am saddened every time I see another retailer drop them.
- Comment on Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2 7 months ago:
Been spending more and just time with plasma on a few Arch installs. I’ve almost got it tuned to be a great Windows replacement.
After some 20 years of trying to get out from under Microsoft but still be able to game, it feels nice to be so close (again… again…).
Proton really is a game changer.

- Comment on Book (Album) Club Week 16: The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem 10 months ago:
As a poor white kid in a nowhere PNW town, this album was on constant rotation. I grew up on and still am primarily an extreme metal listener but this record hit just right at 19.
On my way to the shitty mill in the morning? Kill You. Getting high after my shift? Criminal. Drinking excessively with the miscreants I grew up with on our nights off? Drug Ballad.
I gave it a full relisten in a work trip a few months back and… man I still love the shit outta it but I can see it’s limits 20 some odd years later.
- Comment on Saints Row is currently free to keep from the Epic Games Store 10 months ago:
I picked this up shortly after it hit Steam. The arguments against it are valid but I honestly think it is a great reboot of the original Saints. Sure it’s modernized and a bit cringe in it’s representation of the “new generation” but the gameplay is classic Saints Row and I find the characters charming in the same way they were by SR2. Don’t fully believe the “Saints Row had gone woke” bullshit.
- Comment on Is there a name for downplaying your suffering because other people have bigger problems? 11 months ago:
Comparative Suffering is close possibly.
withtherapy.com/…/what-is-comparative-suffering/
I think these thoughts are a bi-product of empathy. When you are attuned to the pain of others, it can be easy to invalidate your own. I once heard an exchange on public transit where 2 strangers were discussing their hardships and a sort of one upping of trauma was occuring. Eventually one of the participants said “we all feel pain in our own way” and that stuck with me as a tool for understanding my own tendancy to under value the trauma I have experienced throughout life.
Hope that helps provide some insight or a thread to tug at for understanding.
