- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 1 week ago:
There’s no wrong answer here, but I like the bow tie.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You probably already know this, but just in case, there are options in phone settings to ignore unknown numbers.
- Comment on IGN Brazil Interview: 'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth' sales don't disappoint but they can't be exclusive to a single console anymore 3 weeks ago:
Good.
Console exclusivity was always a super shitty idea.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 3 weeks ago:
There are always extra steps with piracy.
But it’s worth it.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 3 weeks ago:
It could happen, but if it does, it’ll be decades down the line. Gaben has surrounded himself with true believers on purpose, in part to prevent that scenario.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 3 weeks ago:
I have a reminder to check it on my Proton calendar every week, haha.
- Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+ 3 weeks ago:
That’s literally the only reason I have Epic on my PC.
Free games every week.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 3 weeks ago:
Neverwinter Nights, probably 10k plus hours over the last 22 years, and Dead by Daylight (1666 hours).
Great games, both. I DM a weekly campaign on Neverwinter Nights.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
B–b–b–bingo!
- Comment on how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight? 5 weeks ago:
Go try to eff with a goose if you think you’re so tough.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 5 weeks ago:
The ones I’ve played of late are:
Disney Dreamlight Valley Dungeons of the Endless (Casual, but a tad addictive) Dungeon Defenders
- Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’ 5 weeks ago:
Trying to fill a 24-hour news cycle requires a lot of bullshit, and Fox, NBC, CNN, CBS, and your favorite news outlet are happy to shovel it.
Stop watching partisan, billionaire-owned news outlets and start consuming international news and non-partisan sites. (Like the AP)
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 month ago:
True, but they could just decide to ignore homeless people like most of the US and other capitalist countries have, but they didn’t.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 month ago:
Finland only has approximately 1000 willfully homeless people. I’d call that solving the crisis.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Shouldn’t the side that’s beholden to not burning it all down realize that their inaction leads to everything being burned down anyway in the end
They know.
They don’t care. They’re getting rich off of the current situation in Washington too. Hell, they can loan their campaigns their own money and pay themselves back with your campaign contributions at 20% interest. It’s really, really easy to get obscenely wealthy being a legislator.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The Democrats pretend to care about norms and rules because that’s what they’re paid to do. Republicans reject and subvert rules because that’s what they’re paid to do. Corporate interests control both parties and this performative dance makes it easier to keep the poor and middle class away from any semblance of power.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
Mutual aid is where it’s at.
- Comment on What do people who promoted the "FEMA camps" conspiracy theory think about Trump's mass deportation? 1 month ago:
They rationalize to themselves that whatever outrageous thing they used to be opposed to is just different when it’s their guy doing it.
I don’t think most people think things like this through, both liberal and conservative. For the most part they use corporate social media like Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok, and we know objectively that the algorithms feeding those users content are engineered to convince them that all of their opinions are correct (no matter how odd or outlandish) and to keep them perpetually outraged so they’ll continue to consume and click on ads. With AI proliferating, we’re now seeing the fast-tracking of false perspectives and information across the web.
Hell, for most of the last presidential election both sides were making excuses for the fact that they intended to vote for someone with clear, public, unavoidably evident cognitive decline. They didn’t think through that.
- Comment on 'Baldur's Gate 3': Patch 8 Will Get TWELVE New Subclasses In 2025 1 month ago:
Glorious.
Let’s hope Sony doesn’t snatch them up too.
- Comment on how do you workout when you don't have much time? 1 month ago:
I think building it into your routine rather than making it an event is key.
Yup, and I’d also recommend planning your exercise around the time your energy peaks during the day. I’m a morning person, so I work out in the morning.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 1 month ago:
The DLC for Dark Souls 3.
Decided to give it another try after picking it up in 2017 and hating it, and for whatever reason, I like it now.
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 1 month ago:
Why do you even care?
- Comment on FromSoftware Parent Kadokawa Confirms Sony’s Buyout Intent, but Insists ‘No Decision Has Been Made at This Time’ 1 month ago:
UGGGGHHHH, please let it not happen.
- Comment on Woke up today to find out my demo has 100% Positive rating (from 10/10 reviews) 2 months ago:
That’s wonderful. Happy for you!
- Comment on Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect? 2 months ago:
No.
It’s over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he’ll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 2 months ago:
Exactly. Harris was tasked with defending and indefensible record. It’s that simple.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 2 months ago:
It’s simple, and history has borne this out many many times.
In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics if you’re the candidate of change. There’s a reason why Harris spent two months repeating memes instead of defending Biden’s policies, because it’s impossible to defend the fact that you had four years to rule and there are more people working 2-3 jobs just to survive.
They knew they needed to appeal to workers. Instead, they spent most of the campaign repeating this meaningless platitude about joy to people who are being worked to death.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 2 months ago:
bundle up everywhere else.
It should be noted that if you don’t need to heat the room you’re in, you can also get an electric blanket for $30 or less, and those babies work infinitely better at keeping you warm than a space heater.
- Comment on Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election? 2 months ago:
Fair point. I’ll delete my comment.
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 2 months ago:
Nailed it.
Both parties are heavily funded by the 0.01%, and that’s neither a lie nor a coincidence.
