- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 17 hours ago:
Jedi Fallen Order has no fast travel and the map sucks, do you often end up lost or backtracking.
Divinity Original Sin is also one that doesn’t guide the player particularly well.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 1 day ago:
For the last 10 years I’ve only played full price for one AAA game: Elden Ring.
I’m happy to wait for sales on everything else, including the secondary market for Nintendo games, but after their recent fuckery in multiple arenas, I’m not keen buying anything they produce. (Not that it matters. Their stuff will sell regardless.)
- Comment on How would you run a society? 6 days ago:
I’d hit the red button and end it all.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 week ago:
I would pretend to be super-religious. Throughout the whole of human history, pretending to be super-religious has always been a viable path to survival and personal advancement.
Apart from that, I’d probably just die.
- Comment on Is it normal to be constantly scared about how your friend will react to anything about you? 1 week ago:
Do not associate with people who treat you this way.
Your friends should love to see you geek out over the stuff that makes you happy.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 week ago:
LOL
Go try to do moonsault off a steel cage without breaking your neck and then you can judge.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 week ago:
Meh, it was okay I suppose.
Cena doesn’t play a heel very well, and it’s kind of shitty that they used crotch shots in both of the WM main events.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 week ago:
No, we know the outcome’s predetermined.
It’s still fun to watch though, and the athletes do some amazing shit.
- Comment on Is it wrong to have the desire to kill my parents who are slumlords that owns 5-20 rental units around the city? 1 week ago:
Wrong is debatable, but it’s definitely illegal.
I low-key hate all the rich people who own condos in the buildings around my neighborhood. The floor I live on is 100% owned but half-empty because of these bloodsucking, greedy bastards. Of course, the apartments in the neighborhood are all full and the residents being vastly overcharged too.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer (Available Today!) 1 week ago:
Stoked to try this game, but I’m waiting a few months for a patch to the graphics issues.

I don’t care how fat he is.
I wish we could get a true accounting of his brain health and the state of his hairline.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 weeks ago:
I wish we could have gotten R6:Patriots.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 2 weeks ago:
How many of you got ripped off by the redhead, though?
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 3 weeks ago:
I think by the time we hit 2026 there will be tens of millions who voted MAGA who wish that last year’s attempt would have succeeded, but logistically, it’s basically impossible now. Anything that might get Trump would probably have to be powerful enough to take out a whole crowd, and that’s just very unlikely.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 3 weeks ago:
Yes.
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 3 weeks ago:
The question is inconsequential.
The empirical and historical information we have demonstrates that this is a patently stupid policy.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 4 weeks ago:
Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.
Then Richard Pryor.

Biloxi Blues, baby.
“You would need two promotions to get to be an asshole.”
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 4 weeks ago:
I’m always a few years behind on consoles and enjoy the robust secondary market, so to me, it doesn’t matter much.
Outside of Zelda and Mario Kart, there isn’t much these days that’s exclusive to Nintendo that I give a damn about anyway.
- Comment on Chipotle offering a discount, while warning they may also inflate prices and delivery fees simultaneously 4 weeks ago:
I know it doesn’t matter but as much as I like their burritos I just had to stop buying. I couldn’t take their fuckery, and it’s absurd to me what they’re charging for a burrito that’s basically all beans and rice. I wouldn’t mind it if they paid their workers well, but we all know they don’t.

Ours is a nation of puritanical hypocrites.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Perhaps they didn’t word it eloquently, but they’re not wrong.
The elderly are the wealthiest and that affords them tremendous political power, seeing as how young people can’t afford to miss a day of work to vote.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Yes, unequivocally.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 month ago:
It’s only happened twice in world history for a reason.
There are thousands of nukes in the world, but no one ever fires them. They make the world more peaceful, not more dangerous.
- Comment on how is it to work everyday but Wednesdays and Thursdays? 1 month ago:
Pretty glorious.
If you want to go out and do something: have lunch, go to a movie, or whatever, it’s not nearly as busy and you can have a more peaceful time.
- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 1 month ago:
I built my physique over 10 years in a gym, but I’ve kept it with heavy handweights and a collapsible bench in my home gym. Anything’s possible as long as you know what you want, know what works for you, are willing to do the work.
- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 1 month ago:
I got some of my equipment just by putting out an ask on my local Buy Nothing group. There are a lot of people out there with big dreams who buy stuff they never use are are happy to gift it if you’ll keep it out of a landfill.
- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 1 month ago:
For me, the effort of going somewhere to exercise is a big impediment,
For most of my adult life I was the exact opposite: I needed somewhere to go as part of my routine. Now that my car’s been on loan to my mom and dad for a year, and I’m pretty sure I’m never getting it back, I had to get home equipment and adapt by necessity. Luckily I enjoy lifting, so it’s been less difficult to stay consistent than I expected.
- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 1 month ago:
When it comes to exercise the struggle isn’t doing it, it’s finding a routine that works for you. That’s the key, figuring out something you can do and make a habit of it so it becomes routine, like brushing your teeth.
I bought a collapsible bench and hand weights in late 2024 so I could cut the gym membership from my budget, and I’ve been able to maintain my usual habit of lifting 3-4 times a week. The added benefit is that it’s nice not to have to deal with other people or wait for equipment. You can learn better ways to work out from professionals for free on Youtube, and you can add equipment to your home gym over time.
It’s definitely reasonable to be new and never go to a gym.
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 month ago:
Historically nukes have served as an effective deterrent to war, ironically. Given that very strong historical pattern, I’d assume the world would, overall, become a more peaceful and cooperative place thanks to mutually-assured destruction.
