Want to go check how much what you described overlaps with the religious electorate?
I’ll wait here.
- Comment on President Trump suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for Joe Biden over his cancer diagnosis 1 week ago:
You can put all religious people in the same basket.
People who compromise on logic to create a made up coalition of people with arbitrary rules to contrast other such people or, you know, humanity at large.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 weeks ago:
Of course, I am not asserting any superiority. I am just a buy one-play one, indie-loving guy.
What mostly stops me from buying titles I don’t play directly is going through the list of all the other things I may need/want to buy with the same money.
Regarding the most, category/publisher sales are back-to-back in between the seasonal ones, so yes, I think they are most of them.

I will save your nick in a list.

To me, it is. Just shy to share something definitely only half-done, when it is my first ever programming project.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 weeks ago:
I am trying to give it a publicly acceptable form in Streamlit before sharing it. Bare with me, it is my first ever programming endeavour and I remained without a mentor half-way into it.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 weeks ago:
On Steam there are category sales much more often (right now TPS Fest).
I buy at historical lows via Isthereanydeal any time of the year anyway.
And just like weight and fashion changes for shirts, I may change my schedule and interests not to fit games I bought years ago.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 weeks ago:
I have only 200something titles across my GOG and Steam libraries and I have played all of them and finished 90% at least.
I may be from another generation (I am in my 40s), but I don’t get the point of spending money on a title I don’t know if I will have ever time or interest to play.
Also, this feeds stale mechanics, since most titles are bought in bulk during sales that are usually centered around game categories.
I built a small python app to use howlongtobeat, steam data and isthereanydeal to select the best next title for me to play in terms of price per hour and (steamdb-style) rating.

In Italy, in our Humanist association we used “credini” for all religious people.
“Cretini” means “idiots” (originally “affected by cretinism”, the developmental syndrome caused by iodine deficit during pregnancy).
“Credere” is the verb meaning “to believe”.
So it could be read as “believing idiots”.
Always loved it and have been trying to replicate it somehow in English ever since.

I don’t think she looks fit. She has more muscle mass than the average girl her age maybe, but her upper body is likely underdeveloped and her spine is definitely fucked up.

Raiden and Midna at PLAYERINSIDE did it (again) this week and are going to do it again in their video today.
I bet that if they point out that we are losing to the French, we may achieve incredible results in record time.
Except in Pisa.

Up until now I thought moddb was all that existed.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 3 months ago:
Missing Half-life (the first one). That game was the first one to feature scripted scenes during player interaction and it was mind-blowing. Plus, it had the most sophisticated story ever seen in an FPS before.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 4 months ago:
Good one, although still sounding benign. Hormones and in general stuff related to flesh is when this shit hits MeatCanyon territory.

You suddenly made it clear in my mind that most talk about hormones and other “gym biochem” reeks of body horror.
- Comment on I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. 4 months ago:
Now it is almost always unplayable, but the settings on don’t really make a difference
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 4 months ago:
Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.
I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.
This way I could pass to Linux and don’t have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.

Running water would allow for 30% reduction in bacteria, according to some sources.
Also, in that time period soap was known in Spain, France and Italy, and I personally made it in the summer using either olive oil or pork fat.

Given the rate at which people would become mentally or physically disabled because of diseases, you could argue it would have a network effect (probably a better term exists): I would have more chances to meet people and influence them, to learn something useful, to accumulate and use wealth for the above, so yeah…

Mildly infuriating? I was so infuriated I downvoted at first.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 5 months ago:
3465 € in 21 years at today’s prices for 287 games. Given that I mostly buy at historical lows the estimate of 1033 € that can be found on the same SteamDB page applies to me.
3,6 € per game, 49 € per year.
Given the tears, the emotions and the joy I got repeatedly from all those (mostly indie) titles, it’s well worth it. Praised be GabeN and all of Valve!
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 5 months ago:
I collect all the stars since GTA III.
I also play everything on Easy because I have a life.

- Comment on Vampire Survivors devs launch official wiki "free of ads, banners, and all of the junk that gets in your way" 6 months ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if the initiative comes from the OG dev of the game, who is Italian: the efforts we go through since 1996 (all I can remember) to avoid ads and popups are of biblical proportions.
I can remember my father taking the PC away from me as soon as he saw I was exposed to one, going “I can take that away, it will be a minute”. It wasn’t a minute.
