- Comment on The defining conservative trait: selfishness 10 hours ago:
I think it’s a human problem.
Absolutely. I completely agree, and anyone who disagrees hasn’t read a world history book.
- Comment on The defining conservative trait: selfishness 11 hours ago:
It’s the defining trait of America, not conservatism, ever since Columbus stepped off the boat and wrote in his journal how the natives people were so kind he could literally seize everything they had.
Why do you think we have two capitalist ruling parties if not for selfish people?
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 1 day ago:
The dodging on this game was frustratingly buggy.
- Comment on How would you list the average democrat voters priorities vs democrat leadership priorities? 4 days ago:
What will get us the most amount of donations to spend on campaigns.
Donations that they can pocket by loaning their campaigns money at 20% interest.
- Comment on How would you list the average democrat voters priorities vs democrat leadership priorities? 4 days ago:
I think you’re spot-on for voter priorities, but economy should be in the #1 slot.
As for leadership, it’s pretty clear what their priorities are: Do nothing and continue to enrich themselves off of conservative policies, and then blame the voters for being critical of them for doing so.
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 4 days ago:
Or get it second-hand off G2A or CDKeys.
I’m never paying $80 for a video game.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 5 days ago:
I use the Brave browser, so the ads don’t work thankfully, but yes, pirate all the things regardless.
- Comment on Anyone here afraid of Mannequins? 6 days ago:
Mannequins scare the heck out of me.
I blame it on Herbie Hancock’s music video for the song Rock It. (Still one of the most unintentionally horrifying things I’ve ever seen.)
- Comment on 1st time Demon's Souls Player 6 days ago:
Demons Souls is so damn good.
The Tower of Latria is still one of my favorite dungeons ever made.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 1 week ago:
There’s a joke in there somewhere.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Agreed.
The desire to subdivide ourselves appears to have been very beneficial to the ruling class in many ways.
- Comment on The AI revolution is underhyped: The arrival of non-human intelligence is a very big deal, says former Google CEO and chairman Eric Schmidt. 25:37 1 week ago:
So underhyped that they had to invent a new term so they wouldn’t have to talk about how buggy it is.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 1 week ago:
You and I will just have to agree to disagree on this. Have a good day.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 1 week ago:
Attend protests.
Meh, not sure I agree on this one, unless you’re part of the Marsha P. Johnson school of brick throwing and you’re going armed.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 1 week ago:
Unless you’re a billionaire or willing to go full Player 2, there’s nothing you can do on a macro scale.
You can, in your little slice of the world, do good things. When ICE asks you if you’ve seen someone, you tell them you haven’t. If you’re walking past a business getting raided and see a brown person, you tell them to turn around and get away. If you run a school and ICE shows up, you stand up for the kids they’re trying to kidnap. If you see ICE kidnapping someone, at minimum, film and post it. If there’s a group of people willing to physically intervene, join them.
That’s it.
Voting doesn’t solve this because all Democrats have to offer is strongly-worded letters. Their choice was aiding and abetting fascism or getting richer, and they chose the money.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 week ago:
Nintendo’s single-minded determination to enshittify makes me want to wait to get the next Switch, TBH.
I know it won’t matter, as their core fan base will happily endure the bullshit changes they’re considering for another Zelda or Mario Kart, but it would be nice if enough people decide not to buy that it actually persuades the company to be a little more reasonable.
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 2 weeks ago:
It’s a nice thought, at least.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Stories like this are why it’s a really good thing that I don’t have access to the red button. I would hit the reset on our species in a second if I could.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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!) 4 weeks ago:
Stoked to try this game, but I’m waiting a few months for a patch to the graphics issues.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
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? 5 weeks ago:
I wish we could have gotten R6:Patriots.
