Good question. At the very least, steam will cloud sync it regardless of where it’s at on the drive so that’s an option
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 22 hours ago:
That would be even more work IMO
Unless they want to separate their non-game files, too
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 23 hours ago:
Hey have you tried Steam Family or whatever it’s called? You can make a new user and they have access to all of your game library. Only one account would be able to play at a time but it would solve your save file dilemma - games files are in the common folder but save files are in the user folder

Yeah let me just replace these rolling wheat hills with a rice farm. It’d totally work because wheat and rice have the same growing conditions. Dumbass

This is a great question because if you’re not familiar with wireless communication, it does make sense
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 3 weeks ago:
Ok you seem like an expert on this so I’ll just trust you that there is not an aspect of popular male culture that makes many men lonely. It’s just social media incels.
The average adult man definitely socializes just as much as the average man. You’ve found that old guys have as many friends as old women in your research, right? There haven’t been studies about this going back decades or anything - it’s all incels on social media. My bad.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 3 weeks ago:
You’re conflating things here. Terminally-online incels are often racist, would you say racism is nothing but a construct of the incel social media?
I do agree that it gets weaponized by grifters and misinterpreted by many more but you are contributing to the problem by acting like it’s an idea spawned from bitter dudes online or that it’s an idea inseparable from misogyny.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 3 weeks ago:
Ironically, dismissing it as just an incel thing is EXACTLY the problem. It’s not about women at all, it’s about friendship. And the social norm predates the internet, social media just exacerbated it (and for many women, too)
It can be hard for guys to make friends when they’ve lived their whole life in a “just man up” environment. I didn’t grow up in one of those and I still struggle to be vulnerable around my friends. I’m not an incel, it was just never taught to me so I had to figure it out myself.
The point of talking about the male loneliness epidemic is not to complain but to retire that type of male culture. Encourage men to be there for each other, put themselves out there, meet people and make friends.

Calling academia “evil incarnate” for that is a bit much.

Read what he posted. He said the series is against sexual misconduct which is what I’m “debunking”
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 4 weeks ago:
The Like A Dragon Series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms
This is why I commented
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 4 weeks ago:
Did you read what he wrote…? He claims hiring this guy goes against the messaging in the games. The messaging in the last game included “rape is comedic topic when it happens to a man”
Of course it’s different to actual assault but it’s pretty sick that you’re defending it as an acceptable form of humor.
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 4 weeks ago:
The main character of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth gets sexually assaulted several times during the side quests. From kissing to sex, it’s always verbally and physically non-consensual. He gets strapped to a table in one of them.
But it’s women doing it so it’s funny, I guess

Yeah I’m not denying it’s true but the title looks like OP copypasted from elsewhere which is the worst way to share news

Any source on the claim in the title?

- Comment on Day 505 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I’ve finished BG3 4 times by myself and failed to make it past the first act in a group 5 or 6 times.
Love the game (obviously) but I found it PAINFUL to play in a group. Especially combat, having multiple people making decisions meant it was more waiting and reacting than planning. And planning is my favorite part!

Adjustable HUD offset for widescreen.
I have a 32:9 display and it SUCKS when HUD elements are anchored to the sides. I have to turn my head to see it!

No, this is the same video that’s been getting posted elsewhere but with some music added and uploaded to some random YouTube channel with a title that doesn’t match the content lol
There is no meltdown in this video, it’s just her being blind. Zero reflection

I am in full support of the community rules but that’s an interesting claim when like 1/3 of the posts are about men lol

I’ve accidentally commented in that community more than once when it was a generic post…but the top comment nowadays is a reminder of the rules.
Very, very different than the examples you describe

I think there’s a good chance you’re vividly misremembering the lyrics.
A few weeks ago I was looking for a song I was POSITIVE had the lyric “got to get my baby back” and it wasn’t until days later I remembered another lyric, found the song, and realized the lyric was actually “got to get a hold of this” (RJD2 - Through The Walls, by the way)
I have an insanely good musical memory so I was 100% sure on the lyric until proven otherwise lol
