- Comment on [US Politics] How much can Mamdani even do as Mayor? Couldn't the NYC City Coucil just block every progressive thing he tries to do? 1 day ago:
Can’t even articulate an actual critique. Definitely a cop.

^ This guy is a cop.
- Comment on Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction 2 days ago:
Yup. Seems that way.
- Comment on 'Death Stranding 2' proves more video games need to get weird, experts say 4 days ago:
Getting weird is why we love Bioshock so much.
- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 4 days ago:
It’s just because you think they’re evil. Otherwise, they’d just look ordinary.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 4 days ago:
What a bummer. Might get it second hand then instead.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 5 days ago:
I think I’m going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.
Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.
Remember you can get things refunded if you don’t end up liking a game.

So… who’s getting what?
- Comment on I hear a lot of "ACAB", why don't I hear "APAB"? (P as in Politician) 1 week ago:
At least here in the US, every election, 99% of voters choose Democrat or Republican and just ignore the last 40 years of these politicians chipping away at our economic and social liberty, and the people who do that have to convince themselves somehow that they made a good choice.
Most justify it to themselves by gaslighting themselves into believing their guy isn’t as bad as the other guy, but it just never crosses their minds that APAB because they don’t want to think they’re the bastards for empowering these people.
- Comment on Lies of P: Overture devs actually rewarded for making a solid DLC in rare industry W: Getting a bonus, 2 weeks vacation, and a free Switch 2 1 week ago:
I hope you have fun with it. :)
- Comment on Lies of P: Overture devs actually rewarded for making a solid DLC in rare industry W: Getting a bonus, 2 weeks vacation, and a free Switch 2 1 week ago:
Yeah, I had to put it down.
The gameplay was ultimately just too annoying to me, which is a bummer because the ideas and aesthetic were exceedingly cool.

Did they fix the janky dodging though?

Time to sow the royal oats, no doubt.

It depends on what you want.
If all you’re looking for is casual sex, they’re pretty great. If you’re looking for love, you’d do well to search for it in a more organic way.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 1 week ago:
Thank you for your opinion. I hope you have a pleasant day.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 1 week ago:
Agreed.
Though I do think that if progressive-minded people were more apt to fly the American flag at protests, it would be harder to criticize them.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 1 week ago:
Americans love to subdivide themselves, and that’s especially true for activists. The flag reflects that.
- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 1 week ago:
I’m pretty sure something similar happened to me three weeks ago, because I saw it was delivered and went down to the floor of my building to grab my items literally five minutes after and they were nowhere to be seen.
Then, inexplicably, they showed up (open but re-taped) two weeks later.
I’m sure these big companies are well aware these scams are happening.

Very cool. Congrats!

Good. WotC is wretched hive of scum and villainy.
- Comment on No Kings Protest, USA, 2025 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen a few NY State Democratic congresspeople on podcasts calling the protesters ‘rioters’, which incenses me. 99.9% of them are hippies just holding up signs and chanting, and these fucking Democrats know it.
- Comment on No Kings Protest, USA, 2025 2 weeks ago:
I was at my local protest. I’d guess there were around 3,000-5,000 people and it was literally just a bunch of hippies chanting. The protest was so lawful that people were even obeying walk signals at the intersection where it occurred.
Our governor had a state of emergency in place for this.
- Comment on No Kings Protest, USA, 2025 2 weeks ago:
They were angry. At Democrats. (And rightfully so.)
And I have no faith the Democrats will do anything meaningful when they get Congress back in 2026. (And they will.) They just kicked David Hogg out of the DNC and they’re doing everything they can to silence their most effective voices, who just happen to be filling football stadiums in red states across the country.
- Comment on Senator Alex Padilla forcefully removed and handcuffed after questioning Kristi Noem at press conference in LA 2 weeks ago:
There’s lots of laws against the things Donald is doing.
The problem is that they are meaningless when unenforced.
- Comment on Senator Alex Padilla forcefully removed and handcuffed after questioning Kristi Noem at press conference in LA 2 weeks ago:
Personally, in his shoes, I’d press charges hard and get this as deep in the legal system as possible.
Also this, more than anything else, has me wanting to put together my go bag.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Important safety tip.
Thanks, Egon.
- Comment on Are shops in the US usually this run down looking? 3 weeks ago:
Yes.
There are some retailers that put a lot of money into making the experience of shopping enjoyable and more pleasant (Nike, Lulu Lemon, Apple, etc.) and their storefronts thrive.
Walmart, the store you pictured, thrives because they sell cheap.
- Comment on Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found? 3 weeks ago:
This wasn’t part of Next Fest, but I devoured ‘Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon’. Excellent demo.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m so glad you chimed in. Everyone loves someone who starts a silly, pedantic argument for no good reason.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Not normal, just uhhh… maybe common.
I was trying to think of a way to put it, but that’s a good sentence in this context for sure.
Also, yes, blood relation does not mean you have to put up with some asshole’s cruelty. Cut them out if you can.
