There, what should have been in the title and in the first line of the story.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 3 days ago:
Ubisoft you can’t complain if I pirate your games, because I never actually bought them and you weren’t deceived by a lack of purchase.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 days ago:
I don’t know if you even need the magnetism. Vance has shown he can lie just as bald-facedly As Trump does. For god sakes there was a time where the Republican hordes were carry ground cups of JD Vance cum or something. Does no one remember that? I wouldn’t be so sure they wouldn’t just transfer right to him.

- Comment on Antony Starr is glad ‘The Boys’ is ending: “I don’t like seeing things outstay their welcome” 1 week ago:
You keep saying that it’s beside the point. It’s not. I get your point. It’s not an overly novel argument. I’ve made the exact same argument multiple times. It’s a very commonly made argument. I get it. 100%. Nothing about what you’re saying is a mystery to me whatsoever.
What I’m saying is it doesn’t apply to this scenario. This is not people taking an IP and pushing Their Own Story into it. This is people taking an IP and expanding it to degree to which the incompetent original author wasn’t capable of. It’s in no way like live action Disney at all. Not even remotely. They put so much more effort and Care into this story then the original author ever did. Than he’s ever capable of. This is creative people taking a concept and fulfilling it. They’re not scrubbing the work they’re finishing it. Do you see what I’m saying?
To put it in comic terms, all Garth Ennis did was the rough sketch. Not even the draft before it’s colored, but the very first roughest sketch available. The show did everything else. The story the show tells for the most part is there in his book, almost all of the story elements the show tells originate in the book, he just never bothered to fulfill it or expand upon it. Or even considered it at all really. Because he’s a cringe-worthy loser who didn’t actually want to write anything meaningful or impactful.
- Comment on Antony Starr is glad ‘The Boys’ is ending: “I don’t like seeing things outstay their welcome” 1 week ago:
Yeah there’s a lot of times that sentiment is true. This is not one of those times. This isn’t someone taking a story and bastardizing it to make a different story. This is people with creative ability taking a story that’s like an inch deep and adding everything to it. It’s not that they’re telling a different story, it’s that they’re telling the story that Garth Ennis should have told if he wasn’t as shit writer.
- Comment on Antony Starr is glad ‘The Boys’ is ending: “I don’t like seeing things outstay their welcome” 1 week ago:
But there was nothing interesting about the characters of the comic is my point. Depth is what makes characters interesting. The show adds literally everything you think is interesting about that store in those characters. I mean really I don’t know if you’ve never read it but those comics are absurd. Butcher and his boys are basically Garth Ennis projecting how much he hates superheroes on to comic book pages. It’s just him thinking how awesome it is to murder Comic Book Heroes. That’s it there’s there’s no depth of character there’s nothing interesting there. It’s a bad comic.

Man I read those Comics they were garbage. Even pretending that the characters had depth to them in the comics is absurd. The show added so much more depth and interesting aspects to the characters than those stupid Comics did. They were legit bad. The only good part in the comic was the overall world. The show added everything that’s special about the concept.
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 1 week ago:
I think everything you quoted there would accurately describe influencers being hey to play a game. As to whether you believe me or not, don’t really care. Why you keep digging this hole for no reason whatsoever seems rather odd to me. Have a good one.

Shill verb
:to act as a spokesperson or promoter
Shill noun
:one who makes a sales pitch or serves as a promoter
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 1 week ago:
Well I’ve certainly never heard that before and that’s not what the definition of the word is from what I’m seeing but I guess I can understand using that as a distinction.
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 1 week ago:
Isn’t it though? They’re being paid to promote a game right? That seems like a shill to me. I’m not sure I understand the difference to you.

- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 2 weeks ago:
Mount and Blade. Warband is just the better version all around. It works in reverse too cause Warband is better than Bannerlord.
- Comment on Paradox date Stellaris 4.0, a "phoenix update" to attract new players and improve performance 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard them say before they’re fixing performance issues but I never seems to actually get better. Hell I can barely run this game anymore. I have to always use small galaxies and even then by the end game it gets slow.
I’m a little concerned about that part about limiting information though. Limiting anomaly pop ups? That’s like probably the best part of the game really. That sense of discovery.

- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 3 weeks ago:
No, like I just said in the comment you apparently didn’t read, they’ve moved past the fact that it’s fucked up onto the next topic. I don’t get what you’re not getting here. I’ll say it one more time. We all know it’s fucked up. That’s what capitalism means. That’s not a unique thing to say. It’s not a new thing to say. You’re not breaking ground here. Next topic.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 3 weeks ago:
They’re not trying to tell you it’s not fucked up. They’re just surprised you’re stuck on the most Elemental aspect and are moving on to the next aspects. Everyone knows it’s fucked up and has moved on to the next topic. Fundamental truth to the world aren’t something we spend a lot of time talking about.
- Comment on Cathy, do the math. 3 weeks ago:
I mean of course it’s fucked up of course there’s room for abuse. That’s capitalism. The point of capitalism is abuse. The point of capitalism is the exploitation of the worker. In essence that’s the problem here. You keep asking why are things aren’t Fair, the answer is capitalism it’s inherently unfair. There are no rules in a capitalist Society to keep things Fair. The point of capitalism is to make things unfair.

Good Lord some of the answers in this thread. I first thought this was like an unpopular opinion community. Is this all just Edge Lords trying to say the most popular and well regarded movies they can?

- Comment on What's your favourite classic movie you think everyone should have seen once in their life? 4 weeks ago:
Oh okay when you said original I thought you might be referring to the movies that came out before the Jackson ones. Also by original are you saying you want the theater cut instead of the director cut? Because if so I don’t know why anyone would be that wrong on purpose.
