Hollow Knight fans were, of course, let down with the lack of a Silksong appearance again, but I hope they expect that by now.
I’m already wearing my clown makeup, you don’t have to be so hurtful.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 5 days ago:
WB doesn’t seem to know how to release any media post 2010.
They keep trying to shoehorn IP into trends, years after market saturation to try and capture nostalgia, and then wonder why they didn’t meet sales targets. See MK1, Space Jam 2, or anything related to HP or LotR.
The other thing they do is when they do have an interesting or original idea with the IP, the executive team seems too risk averse to put any capital behind it. See the two new Loony Tunes movies, one was in theaters for less than a week and the other was scrapped entirely for a tax writeoff.

Just bin some more already completed projects for another tax break. I’m sure it’ll happen

Things get a little nebulous when you’re talking about microcode running on a proprietary IC.
- Comment on Poor guy 3 weeks ago:
No, you don’t understand. He’s rich and white, so he shouldn’t be subject to those pesky regulations.
That’s how it works in the US, so obviously that’s how it should work in South Africa too.
- Comment on Jason Statham Returns for 'The Beekeeper 2' 4 weeks ago:
The Beekeeper was the most Steven Segal movie I’ve ever seen. It’s kind of ironic that he wasn’t even in it.
The entire movie is just scene after scene making sure you know that old people are better than those dang kids with their phones. While every scene featuring the antagonists is either them whining about losing or talking about what a badass this beekeeper character is.

- Comment on Common Ground 5 weeks ago:
People are complicated and can carry multiple, nuanced beliefs. There are people out there that support LGBTQ+ rights, think that drag is fun, and believe that people of color get treated unfairly systemically without also wanting to take up arms in a violent revolution against the established systems in America because social progress is still happening, albeit slowly.
Every social media platform(Yes, even the independent ones) tends to remove all nuance and push every issue as binary, and sometimes worse than that, it will bundle issues together. There are people here that will argue in all seriousness that if you voted for the candidate that would’ve pushed forward progressive policies, that you also support the genocide in Gaza.
- Comment on Common Ground 5 weeks ago:
You ever wonder how the right seems to move in lockstep while the left constantly debates between themselves about the details?
It’s shit like this that fosters that attitude. If some people on the right can look at something like this and then really examine their positions then thats a win.
The goal with something like this isn’t to get someone to 180 on their beliefs, they know that the government is untrustworthy. It’s to have them really look at what they’re supporting, and if they truly want those changes, after learning what it might cost them.
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 5 weeks ago:
Kind of. There is one punctuation tell that you can typically use to tell if someone is older, and thats if they use ellipsis to separate thoughts rather than line breaks in informal settings.
Back in the day when you were writing on paper, space was a limited resource, so people that are more used to that will separate ideas with a ‘…’ rather than starting a new paragraph because you can fit more text into a smaller footprint.
Come the turn of the millennium, digital writing became the norm and people that grew up surrounded by computers tend to use line breaks instead because space is not limited in the same way anymore.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 month ago:
My experience has been that most people only use a computer at work and use their phone or a smart TV for everything else. Although, they usually also own a laptop for when a computer is required
- Comment on Has America Reached Its Tipping Point with Ignorance? 1 month ago:
I think it’s a bit more hopeful than that(America is still fucked short term, but humanity might be better off long term). Throughout history, people have been misinformed idiots that don’t think critically. It’s just that prior to about 2008, people didn’t really have access to the deluge of information that is social media and we’re still trying to figure that out.
The reason misinformation on social media works so well is that people want to learn things, and if someone tells them a believable enough lie, they’ll take that as fact doing only minimal checks(eg: my friend whom I trust shared this article saying that it’s the Mexican’s fault I see so many homeless people, so it must be true).
Stuff like this has happened throughout history. People published absolutely insane things in books and presented them as fact for hundreds of years, and it set back things like science and medicine for equivalently long, as people didn’t fact check things then either.
The fact that people are already hammering on about trying to fact check social media means that people are educated enough now to start, and we as a species just need another small push in that direction

My so-called introverted friends never want to go out clubbing on a Tuesday night because they only worry about the future like “Oh, if I go out with you tonight, then I’ll be a zombie at work tomorrow”. Like, live in the now and care about other people, like me!
- Comment on My employer blocking trusted adblock extensions but allowing ad blockers that whitelist corporate ads 1 month ago:
As a corporate IT drone, usually the extension blocks come from on high and we have no say in what they are. Also, the users that are smart enough to figure out ways around the blocks are not who we are worried about protecting from themselves.

Sure, but if it were free it’s a “you get what you pay for” situation. People are a lot more forgiving when they aren’t personally losing money.

Sometimes you can have a thing that isnt a computer. Sometimes you can just have a glass door. I promise it’s okay.

- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 2 months ago:
For me, it was a number of things that all came about through my 20s. The biggest were learning both how and when to tell people “no”, and making a conscious effort to think proactively rather than reactively.
What I mean by that is don’t take on extra work only because someone asks you to, and if something goes wrong, only worry about it if you can actually do something about it. Both of these are skills that require practice.
Also, as others have said, think critically if it might just be a shitty work environment. If that’s the case, consider looking for other work while keeping this job.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 2 months ago:
Boring reasons mostly.
Im told they offer better options for tiered monetization and the UI is supposedly way better.
Plus, they never threatened to oust their adult content creators because their payment processor asked them to.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 2 months ago:
Pretty good, actually. Assuming that you can brand it the right way.
For example, if you’re okay catering to gay men and can position yourself as a confident top with a dad-bod, there is a market for you.
