- Comment on Senator Alex Padilla forcefully removed and handcuffed after questioning Kristi Noem at press conference in LA 1 day 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 1 day 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] 1 day ago:
Important safety tip.
Thanks, Egon.
- Comment on Are shops in the US usually this run down looking? 3 days 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? 4 days ago:
This wasn’t part of Next Fest, but I devoured ‘Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon’. Excellent demo.
- Comment on Is a parent expressing regret of giving birth to a child directly to that child a normal thing that parents do? 5 days ago:
I’m so glad you chimed in. Everyone loves someone who starts a silly, pedantic argument for no good reason.
- Comment on Is a parent expressing regret of giving birth to a child directly to that child a normal thing that parents do? 5 days 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.
- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 6 days ago:
I mean correct me if I am wrong sending in the National Guard/ Military and using force against civis breaking the constitution?
Depends on what the NG does.
They can be used as ‘protection’ which would mean a defensive role in the case of civilians engaging in violence. I think the Insurrection Act has to be invoked in order for NG troops to go on the offensive, but I only know what I’ve read online and am no expert.
- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 6 days ago:
What’s happening is that the other two branches of our government have (mostly) abdicated to the Executive branch; therefore, absent the lower courts who can’t act in real-time for the most part, Donald has carte blanche to do whatever he wants without any meaningful accountability.
- Comment on Mafia: The Old Country - “Loyalty is Everything” Story Trailer 1 week ago:
Bummer.
Was hoping for a RDR-style Mafia game. Oh well.
- Comment on Mafia: The Old Country - “Loyalty is Everything” Story Trailer 1 week ago:
I hope this iteration gives the player a more open world and a little more freedom than the previous entries, but it looks pretty neat!

Important safety tip.
Thanks, Ray.
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 1 week ago:
I’m only in the second zone of the game but there’s a lot to see and do just in the starter dungeon and the game’s first zone. I’m really enjoying it so far.
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 1 week ago:
Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon
Tried the demo and it hooked me. Great game so far.
- Comment on Why is Jordan Peterson both a Christian and not a Christian? 1 week ago:
Because Christianity is a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ religion and doesn’t have a singular meaning.

Someone please remember to tell them that WE WANT FAST TRAVEL.

If avoid any and all controversial topics and just keep things purely professional.

Dragon Age: Origins and Bioshock
- Comment on Elden Ring's player engagement is through the roof: 45% of its Steam players have played for 100+ hours 2 weeks ago:
Hands-down the best AAA title (in both content and value) in years.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks 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 [deleted] 2 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
The dodging on this game was frustratingly buggy.
- Comment on How would you list the average democrat voters priorities vs democrat leadership priorities? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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" 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
There’s a joke in there somewhere.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Agreed.
The desire to subdivide ourselves appears to have been very beneficial to the ruling class in many ways.
