  The ones who walk away from Omelas is one of my favorite stories. Powerful metaphor, that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creative writing⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah… school for me at least was a race to the bottom. Test scores and homework quotas superseded teaching creativity or critical thinking.

  Wow Laura Dern sure was something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sabine Hossenfelder Has Started Openly Defending Proven Grifters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Her video on trans identity was were i hopped off the train. It was needlessly dismissive and not well researched.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s funny, Patreon cracked down years ago on Incest content forcing indie porn devs to do *nudge *nudge *wink she’s your “Landlady” stuff. I guess paypal just assumed Steam was cleaner until now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks I hate it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d eat it.

  if we lived in a high pressure environment, this totally would happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨naruto therapy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shounen, just like any good young adult fiction, is a morality play. Good life lessons about friendship and overcoming adversity…but it is not a substitute for personal growth. You gotta take those lessons and synthesize them.

  My wife and I smuggle candy and booze in to the theaters all the time. Theaters are so understaffed and mostly by teenagers and they dont give a fuck what we’re doing.

  Lol publishers curtail developer choice, gtfo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, I thought I had a lot. Just checked and its only 500, with about 60 sitting in the “backlog”

  Bro that Robocop game is petty good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rate Your Music is a great resource for discovery, if a bit snobby.

  I call sparkling water “Sparkle Boys” does that count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of a time when i used to subscribe to Hydro Homies and there was always someone in the comments tryna hawk a Berkey water filter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't Look Up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The solution is multi-factorial and will take a generation to implement. Expand the social safety net, expand public education to encompass critical thinking skills and researching skills, restrict private media monopolies that hold public consciousness in a deathgrip.

  You sound whiny too

  If downvotes aren’t gatekeeping, then neither is saying Dark Souls is perfect the way it is and doesn’t need to be changed. Ultimately, I think we’re all picking a side on this one, and dont want to hear what the other has to say. Voting me down is your way of saying “I don’t want to see this kind of thing.” It can’t be hand-waved away as simple disagreement. There is an echo chamber at work here, it is somewhat nasty and honestly disheartening. Like when I make a joke about Miyazaki not wanting this (it is a joke after all) and everyone piles on the dislike; that’s the community trying to send me a message. And yes, I know that calling out downvoters makes them pile on more; I am proud to spit in ya’lls face. The discourse around difficulty is toxic on both sides and I hate it. Can’t even make a joke without bringing out the Defenders of the Casual or whatever. Vote me down some more, its exactly what I expect.

  Sometimes difficulty is inextricable from the art, and Dark Souls is a good example of that. When people say they want it easier they are missing the message. You SHOULD have to struggle to get what you want, you SHOULD have to pay attention to the game you’re playing instead of mindlessly hacking your way through only to forget bout it days later. If a game punishes impatience and hubris, you will be more immersed in an oppressive world, you will feel like a small part of a larger tragedy that transcends your typical hero fantasy. These are the things that make the game special, and Miyazaki and his team knew what they were doing. You are spitting on their vision and their talent when you say it should be different. Lies of P… I haven’t played it, and the devs can do whatever they feel is right to make the game they want to make.

  But you know, Starry Night is fine and all but its too dark and depressing. They should put some more yellow in there, really make it more accessible to the masses.

  Miyazaki wept.

  Bro this is the LAST thing I expected to happen. Giant Bomb is dead, long live Giant Bomb. Fuck Ryan Davis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nice place to shop but sometimes gets sticky⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chinese restaurant; its common round my area for chinese places to put a 1 in the title. Like “No. 1 Chinese Kitchen” which we lovingly call “No One Chinese Kitchen”

  Handjobs for the homeless, aint America the land of plenty?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesla protests are working.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know that the protest are to be given all the credit, as Tesla’s value was always inflated beyond reason. We’re seeing a correction here that was long overdue, its just Elons shitty behavior that’s catalyzed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OSHA is woke⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol OSHA is kinda corrupt but if they can keep asshole owners in line with threats then I’ll take it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds like a problem for them, not me.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I put in a week for around christmas, 30 days prior. My boss comes to me 2 weeks later and says “actually we have to do inventory that week so we need you to stay.” I asked, why dont we do it this week instead and was told essentially “this is when management needs it done” so I said cool do it without me. Came back from vacation, never got in trouble and actually got offered a raise like 1 month later lol. Place was fucking toxic tho so I left.
