- Comment on Young men are struggling in a slowing job market, even if they have college degrees 2 days ago:
Well,usually if you live with your parents and have no money, you are desperate for income of any kind. I personally worked for a steak n shake after college for a couple months.Had to lie about having a degree so theyd hire me. Not that different. You dont apply to these jobs thinking its your forever job. Its just something to get you by until you can finally get a job with some kind of career.
- Comment on So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies. 2 days ago:
These companies make it about politics themselves when they insist on getting involved in politics…you cant have your cake and eat it too…
Well, you can for a while, but eventually you get a reputation and nobody wants to work for you. Fuck I hate living on this rock some days.

Right…in the 900 plus job applications they submitted, im sure not one of them was retail…
- Comment on ‘Stop Killing Games’: Demands for game ownership must also include workers’ rights 1 week ago:
Why would you phrase workers rights that way? Its like people have been brainwashed into thinking anything good for everyone, we have to come up with a word for it to make it sound awful…its propaganda 101, and you’ve either bought into it, or youre a bad actor. Either way, fuck off.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 week ago:
I mean, its not a terrible game. I just really wish they would have stuck to the original story. If you havent played the original, thats probably a good thing when playing the remake bcz then you don’t have a comparison.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto Games 'At Risk' From Being Pulled From Sale Ahead Of GTA 6 1 week ago:
God I hate this timeline. I feel like we just cant catch a break…the entire world is on-fire, and instead of facing that headon, we are ignoring it and focusing on trivial issues to hide our incompetence.
The collapse is coming because we chose this. Just to be clear, a collapse was not inevitable, we decided we wanted that instead of a habitable world for our grandchildren.

Yeah, depending on where you say this people will absolutely rail you for it. I dont understand why people are accepting of this crap.

Well, they aren’t. But if you think on the implications of that too much you end up in a philosophical meta physics grey area thats untestable. Its best just to go to sleep and not think about it 🤣

Final Fantasy Remake Part 1
They changed the story and introduced Whispers to the game, something about Fate trying to drive the story the way its supposed to be. Then they made Sephiroth the final boss of what is now known to be a trilogy (bcz money)…
My absolute favorite game got ruined bcz they decided they needed to “shake the game up”. And now part 2 “Rebirth” is some multiverse bullshit.
I hate everything about this corporate BS they turned the remake into. But, I have to live with it bcz its not my game.
Best I could do is buy rebirth used from game stop so Square Enix didnt get any of my money.
Instead, I play the original from time to time, and I have to try to block out the remake changes they have made.
The franchise was so successful, that Square Enix made idiotic spinoffs and added characters to iconic scenes who weren’t there. They’ve just completely ruined the original game with how much they’ve milked the franchise. Its tragic to me, and not many people care that much.
I really wanted a remake that made the changes that were necessary to play to a modern audience,are the confusing story points more fleshed out so they were direct, and maybe changed up a boss or two. Basically I wanted the same thing they did with Resident Evil 4 remake, but instead we got a garbage trilogy.
- Comment on GOG Launches NSFW Game Giveaway "To Raise Awareness On Censorship In Gaming" 1 week ago:
Can’t they just do a game give away, like a general one? Im not into NSFW games, but if you make it clear thats what the give away is about it will still get the same message across. We support NSFW games being available (at least I do). I just dont want to play them.

I hope Nintendo dies a slow painful death…wishful thinking, but maybe with their shit policies it will eventually catch up to them. Not today I guess…

This is what I do. When the current news cycle is too much for me, I just browse my front page for a few days and avoid the news.

- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 3 weeks ago:
Wow, I might actually have to stop using itch.io, is nowhere safe from the craziest anymore? I dont even make NSFW games, but bending the knee to dickheads over some overtly religious bullshit isnt gonna work for me.
- Comment on LinkedIn Banned A Trans Woman For Using Her Preferred Name 3 weeks ago:
For the company not to have done it at all. It was very clearly a capitulation to the Trump administration, not a mistake, but a deliberate action. I don’t support companies that capitulation to these fascist fucks.

Guess its time to delete my LinkedIn. Maybe I should inform them of why im doing it while I’m at it.
- Comment on I really want to like the new ff7....but it's just so buggy. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I hated the multiverse thing. I do think they did a better job of showing that cloud is having a mental breakdown. The fact that he could see Aerith when nobody else could really made the mental breakdown stuff so much more clear than it was in the original. I’ll be playing the final game, but I didnt give Square Enix my money on part 2, got voice it displeasure of the unnecessary story changes somehow. We’ll see how bad they flub the last one and if its actually worth buying.
- Comment on I really want to like the new ff7....but it's just so buggy. 4 weeks ago:
I didnt like part 1 bcz it had so many story changes. The whisps really made me irrationally angry. The forced story changes into the game for no reason. Im not even bothered by the extra fluff about the side characters that wasn’t in the original. But there are so many fundamental story changes, and then you meet Sephiroth as the final boss?! There’s nowhere to go from there, you’ve revealed the big bad guy already, and not in a logical flowing progression like you should. I do get the linearity of the first one tho. That did make the game easier to get through.
- Comment on I really want to like the new ff7....but it's just so buggy. 4 weeks ago:
Im kinda of surprised you dont like rebirth. I thought part 1 fell kind of flat, and I hated the story changes. But, the second one is at least entertaining in its own right even if sometimes the story changes suck.
- Comment on Why do we humans love music so? 4 weeks ago:
The answer is we don’t know unfortunately. I dont think scientists have found a definitive answer on this one. The theory tho is that it had some evolutionary benefit in the past, but we dont know why that would be either.
- Comment on New York clerk again refuses to enforce Texas judgment against doctor who provided abortion pills 4 weeks ago:
Good, get bent! Your laws are only good in your state. When it means prosecuting someone for political benefit, your laws dont apply. You cant reach across state lines to prosecute someone who never even practiced in your state.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
NSF funding cuts, declining enrollment bcz of the ICE crap (people are afraid to come to the U.S.), covid funding issues still being felt, lots of government employees vying for university positions, attacks on science across the board forcing experts to leave the U.S., or go to the private sector. Its bad, and it’ll probably get worse.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s gonna get bad. Jobs in both the private sector, and public sector, universities, etc, we are all feeling the heat right now.
- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 1 month ago:
No, its the boomers still. They created the news networks like Fox News, turned the internet into the cess pool that it is, and drove all of the propaganda that has turned millennial and gen X people into frothing right-wing nut jobs. Maybe in ten years, we can stop saying its the boomers. But they have single handedly been responsible for all of the shit we find ourselves in, the housing bubbles, the student loan crisis, everything. I’ll stop saying its the boomers when its no longer a problem of their generations making.
- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 1 month ago:
No, boomers are responsible for the mess of crap we’ve found ourselves in. That’s why people blame them for it. They voted for “i got mine, and pulled the ladders up that helped them build their wealth and education”. That’s why we blame them for shit still.
- Comment on Studio Camelia shuts down a year after raising €300,000 on Kickstarter to fund JRPG (Alzara Radiant Echoes) 1 month ago:
Well, turns out people need to feed their families, keep a roof over their heads, and games are hard. 300k isn’t a lot of money to actually keep the lights on at a studio. Also keep in mind, depending on the tools you use, you could end up giving a portion of your game sales to the engine dev, then on top of that you have steam who wants a 30% cut for selling your game on their store. That’s maybe 50-55% left after all that depending on other bills and sales to fund anything after profits are left over.
