FÜR AIUR!
Wait… wrong game.

Aren’t federal judges Article III judges?
If so, congress can remove them. The same congress that’s in republican hands, too.

You aren’t dehumanizing anyone. Nazis did the dehumanizing themselves, who are you to object to that personal freedom of choice.
- Comment on Citizen Sleeper 2 review thread (85 average, 97% recommended) 3 weeks ago:
That’s like the one review site I don’t trust, because it’s steam users. One of the worst parts of human existence, on a level with 4chan in many regards.
It can be good for a “vibe”. Like if something is mostly negative, might be worth looking into. But for an actual review? That’s just not what it is.

- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 3 weeks ago:
And saying that is going to piss off a lot of folk.
Who then might not call back at all, so it works out either way!
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 3 weeks ago:
Personally since chat/messages are now ubiquituous, call implies you need my reply/attention/input now, and/or need the vocal tonal part of communication.
If you call, and it’s clear there was neither reason, I’m annoyed. There was no reason to interrupt me, as I’ll assume there’s an emergency or urgent situation and pick up dropping whatever I’m doing.
- Comment on Google's AI is using past tense to describe a sporting event that takes place in 3 days. And it knows who won too. 3 weeks ago:
I mean to be fair that’s a niche event in a niche sports form in one backwards country that can’t even get their gov in order. 😛
Jokes aside, it’s sad how far these agents/helpers have degraded. From the comparatively glorious Google Now that was black magic and would pull out tickets as you approached the starting point, recommend clothes and gear for weather at your destination and if you wandered around a few seconds told you where you parked your car, to nowadays being some AI slop that hallucinates shit constantly.
- Comment on Following the Switch 2 Reveal, Phil Spencer Says Microsoft Is 'Really Looking Forward' to Supporting Nintendo With Xbox Games 3 weeks ago:
I think compared to something as big as the Switch 2, SteamOS on another niche PC handheld, as important as it is to us consumers, just wouldn’t even register.
It’s like that EA thing, 50% too few sales on DAVG, but the chickens are running around in a panic over 5% less gacha sales in FC24 instead. 😅
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 3 weeks ago:
Hey just the last 2 weeks I had two separate friends be ripped off on ebay. Yeah it has improved, but it’s still a ton of scummy shit.
- Comment on Looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard just received its final major update 3 weeks ago:
I mean the game is… okay, anyways. Which in the context of a Dragon Age is disappointing as fuck even after the boredom simulator that was DAI. But it’s not like anything is particularly bad either, not even the dialogue. It’s… fine. Aggressively mediocre, even.

- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 3 weeks ago:
This must be very different in the US because over here eBay would be like just lighting your money on fire (since you have 0 recourse or reimburse options while Amazon’s primary upside is how trivial replacement and reimbursements are). I mean de-amazon sure, but not for a place that’s as anti-consumer as can be, which of course makes sense for actual second-hand purchases where you have no legal liabilities by the seller anyways.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #56 - MiSide 3 weeks ago:
Oooooh, I just finished this, too. Really really well done game.
There are some minor parts that could have been better (like not being able to skip/FFWD text) and it’s not quite as good in its shock or horror as DDLC or so while also not being quite as good in its meta-narrative as Stanley Parable but honestly that’s such a minor criticism it really doesn’t matter. Fantastic experience, and some super nice jump scares in there, including a few where you expected one and then there’s a different one.

Good.

Sadly a lot of EU states are staring down a similar barrel of mass-illiteracy and mass-stupidity being exploites via the rich controlling the media. Look at the rise of the AfD in Germany of all countries, for example.

He’s rich, and some utter idiots believed him when he insisted he must be smart. That’s the natural outcome of that combination.

Yeah it’s going to be the same as PS4 on PS5. The disclaimer is on every game.

Plus it’s an actual straight upgrade, what with backwards compatibility and all.

- Comment on The Death of Gaming YouTube: How Money Killed Authenticity 1 month ago:
How does doing it again under a different URL change anything? Or do you inherently fail to understand that the problem isn’t about a specific site?
- Comment on The Death of Gaming YouTube: How Money Killed Authenticity 1 month ago:
I mean the same is true of Youtube or “content creator” culture as a whole, only the money pile there is too big to have imploded (so far).

What I as a German take from this is fucking hell was McD in the US cheap before. O.o
I mean it inflated a lot here too, but wow.
- Comment on Against the Storm looks charming and cosy, but it's actually the best and most fiendish city builder I've played in years 1 month ago:
Was this before all the QoL updates around saveable production controls and easily seeing which builds what?
- Comment on Against the Storm looks charming and cosy, but it's actually the best and most fiendish city builder I've played in years 1 month ago:
I agree, easily the city builder I sunk the most hours into in the last 10+ years compared to all other ones combined.
- Comment on But of course we don't want to poison our child. 2 months ago:
They mean the nicrotic flesh rotting off later in life, getting a foot or a leg amputated is the fastest way to loose weight after all. Worked a year in a ward for smoking patients, the smell is so haunting…
- Comment on But of course we don't want to poison our child. 2 months ago:
Yeah in my sister’s town the hospital no longer has a smoking area. Some patients run off into the park behind the hospital to have one, and I guess the doctors and nurses just vape in some room instead.
