- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 1 day ago:
This is exactly the problem and how we go into this mess in the first place. When we read terrible things are happening, instead of getting mad and doing something we choose to ignore it and pretend it’s not happening. That allows the terrible people to keep doing whatever they want.
Sure, it’s easier to ignore it now for your mental health, but when things get even worse, you’ll be worse off too. It’s worth some stress and pain now to prevent even more in the future.
If you don’t like what you read in the news, organize and take action. Don’t bury your head in the sand. It won’t get better on its own.

That’s a great way to look at it if you’re coming from a place of privilege where it doesn’t affect you directly. The Palestinians don’t get to say “it’s just a trend”. It’s not just a trend for the immigrants being rounded up in concentration camps. Or for the homeless and mentally ill Trump has just declared will also be rounded up. And for the LGBTQ who are soon to follow.
And the destruction of the environment we all rely on to survive isn’t “just a trend”.
You’re only able to have the luxury of thinking it’s a trend because it hasn’t affected you. Yet.

Thanks. There’s no way I’m clicking a Youtube link to read an article.

No, not at all. I just want to watch a movie in bed on my tablet before bed.
But it sure sounds like it bothers you a lot.
- Comment on Off topic 3 days ago:
Because I can still enjoy it, regardless of what your standards are.
- Comment on Off topic 3 days ago:
Watching a movie is an experience, and you simply cannot reproduce experience that on a small TV with 2.0 audio.
You heard it here guys, enjoying a movie on a normal TV or an iPad is simply wrong and you should feel bad for wanting to be able to understand the dialogue. I guess it makes sense that a BorgDrone would be intolerably inflexible and demand people conform to their unrealistic standards.

it’s a fscking disgrace.
Please don’t provide alternate stream for censored cursing. It’s a disgrace. I want the same sense of awe awe that you get when I hear it in a theater. What is even the point of watching it if it cannot make me feel that?

Thank you for your insightful comment. Can you back that up with some reasons? Or are you just trying to be edgy?
- Comment on President Trump: It's Not Doable for AI Companies to Pay for All Copyrighted Input * TorrentFreak 4 days ago:

Looks like piracy is fine everyone!

This is all “networking” is. I refuse.
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 5 days ago:
If it’s against your religion to play porn games, fine. Don’t play them.
But fuck off if you think you can tell other people what not to play.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US fill in the area in the Pacific to connect Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland? Are they stupid? 5 days ago:
No, Trump would auction off naming rights to corporations.

Eating them creates compost in the long run anyway, but with the added benefits of also providing protein to hungry poor people without the damage from factory farming livestock.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 1 week ago:
It’s not attacking the girl or suggesting she should stop. She’s doing the right thing. It’s attacking the rich psychopaths ruining the environment is ways that are orders or magnitude greater than my life will ever do.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 1 week ago:
I want to give my money to a dev with a passion and a good idea. I do not want to support a soulless corporation grinding away at an IP to maximize profits for the next quarter.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 1 week ago:
I agree about what’s happening. They’re producing boring games and not learning anything.
But I don’t give a shit. Let them go down in flames. New indie devs an studios are popping up all the time with fresh, unique, and interesting games. I haven’t bought a AAA game in over a decade and I’m not missing a damn thing.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 week ago:
Why is Steam removing them entirely? They should just remove the option to pay from that processor.
- Comment on Corporations = communism 1 week ago:
It’s better, but still not great. You’re still limited by having enough money to be able to buy shares. The people with more disposable income have a greater opportunity to benefit, while those with less may not be able to afford it at all.
Even the lowliest employee with the lowest pay should still have an opportunity to benefit from their labour.
- Comment on Corporations = communism 1 week ago:
That’s not true at all. If every worker was a shareholder, then I might agree with you. But shareholders are the rich, who have capital they can invest and gain from. Corporations are set up to only benefit the rich. The average worker gains nothing but their measly wage/salary regardless of how well the company does or how hard they work.
Corporations are not for the benefit of all. They are for the benefit of the rich upper class and derive their wealth from the work of the working class.

“Then I sacrificed myself to save you from the rules I made up myself. I could’ve just changed the rule, but somehow this convoluted plot line was simpler.”

We invented, and rejected, life-saving vaccines.
- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 3 weeks ago:
This is absolutely a case of getting in, killing the competition, then jacking the price and tanking the quality.
And because it’s a service, despite using it for years and paying all that money into it, as soon as you leave you have nothing. All those games are just gone.
- Comment on PSA for those in America 3 weeks ago:
They’re also stupid and disruptive.
