- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 4 days ago:
I guess because otherwise you have something more akin to communism.
Which is a big scary monster and the biggest economies in the world would rather suppress a system the levels the playing field and helps everyone than give up their dollary-doos.
I think about this from time to time.
Its like, hey we make a product and it costs this much to make and we make this much profit, so that should be it. Thats how much this product makes. Dunzo. Next muffin. But it never works that way, once they have found the sweet spot where the product is useful and works well whilst also selling for a price that pays for production development and wages then it becomes about cutting costs to increase profits and that takes the form of using cheaper materials, paying lower wages, firing staff, incorporating planned obsolescence so people need to buy more. All in the name of profits and bonuses.
Its disgusting, it damages society, the environment and warps peoples minds so that people like donald trump exist and i hate it.

Yeah, some more news is one of my favourites. I tend to listen to it like a podcast when i am driving to and from work. But the visuals help sometimes.
Its a great showdy.

- Comment on Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform 2 weeks ago:
Isnt the difference that money is valued against something tangible. Like gold, oil or data. The strength of a countries currency is based on how much of these things it has.
Whereas crypto isn’t valued against anything other than thoughts and prayers. If people think it has value then it has value. Until people no longer think it does, at which point it tanks and you are no longer rich. It’s the same as those NFTs.
Sure you can make money in crypto, you can exchange it for traditional money if you play the game well. But that doesnt mean crypto has any inherent value.

My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn’t my wife have to put it down?
I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don’t have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 4 weeks ago:
I only just started playing for the first time last week or 2 weeks ago, that mantis boss was tough but i managed it after many attempts. Each time i returned i played better. Little tip for you, in the arena, before starting the fight, wall climb up the left hand wall and attack upwards at the ceiling a few times and a hole opens with those blue blobs that give you temporary extra hit points. They respawn if you die so you can always start the fight with a few extra hits.
Only other tip is remain calm and the fight will feel slower.

Have you played the fist one? I had it as a free game on psn for ages but never played it. Gave it a go last week (didnt even know about silksong or anything about the game other than the genre) and was immediately hooked. I’ve played every day since then and am nearly at the end. I’m now very hyped to complete and buy silksong.
Regardless, I understand your comment. People get excited about good games. Genre, art style, or how many D’s its got doesn’t make a difference if the game has substance. Fun isn’t bound to genre.

I see what you mean. Yeah, the internet was a better place back then.
I was coming from more of a stance of the tech behind the internet.
When someone could ruin my game of ultima online by picking up the phone.
When niche message boards existed and msn messenger was how i spoke to my friends.

That was 2006. Youtube came out december 15th 2005. Facebook became available to general public in september 2006.
Look, hsres a graph
2005 was roughly the end of the internet dark ages, but it was barely different to the 90s.
- Comment on Thank G*d I grew up in the 90s. Everything is woke now. Smh my head 5 weeks ago:
2005 was essentially the 90s. People were still talking about the matrix, playing n64 and ps1, barely anyone had a mobile phone and most internet connections were still dial up.

- Comment on Metal genres 5 weeks ago:
I think its fair to say i have a favourite genre, or multiple favourites, but that is no longer exclusive or exclusionary. All music is welcome, i will no longer judge a song by its genre.
I attribute the change to having different social groups in my life. When i was in school i was into rock and thwn metal and that was pretty much the only thing i liked. Later i got in with a crowd that was more into techno, dnb, dubstep, house, minimal etc and grew to appreciate it, around the same time i was playing in bands and learning the blues, and got into jazz more recently. Always liked classical because of my piano lessons when i was young. It opened my mind up to so much more.
Except pop :)
- Comment on Metal genres 5 weeks ago:
I used to be one or some or all of these.
But some time in the 2010s, or rather over the course of the last 10-15 years, i stopped listening to music by genre and started listening to music by what made me feel good. Like, my phone is filled with music from so many different genres now i can’t really call myself anything in terms of music subculture. I’m a music “generalist”? I listen to anything that sounds good to me and don’t cut myself off from any genre just because it is said genre.
Except pop.
fuck pop.

Monogamy is a preference on a spectrum, and if you aren’t into it, then that’s fine. But dont throw shade on the most commonly practised form of relationship like you are somehow above it. It just makes you look pretentious and honestly a little bit sad.
