- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 2 hours ago:
Hey board of directors! Make me your new CEO and I will fix this problem!
- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 2 days ago:
The hardest parts of gun use are aiming at long range and proper maintenance. Neither of those are a concern for someone planning to shoot at close range and not live another day.
- Comment on Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics - Announcement Trailer 3 days ago:
How many kids are going to have their vision fucked up this time?
- Comment on My friend exposed a guy for bad stuff. Now he's created a site where he archives everything my friend posts online & deliberately twists it to make her look bad/discredit her. What should she do? 3 days ago:
I heard you can safely call someone an asshole
Wonder if creep would likewise be safe

- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 week ago:
If you don’t make profit then either you’re losing money or straddling the line between profit and losing money, neither of which is sustainable. Then someone else will come in and try.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
I can get lost and then spend time “progressing” only to find the way blocked and having to backtrack
You mean you GET to backtrack
- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 2 weeks ago:
Skeptical about the accuracy, given everything we’ve seen AI do so far.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 2 weeks ago:
22yo women date 30yo+ men all the time
Maybe not so much the other way around
- Comment on I quit my job to make my own game. Toll Booth Simulator 3 weeks ago:
I don’t understand what a lot of those activities have to do with toll booths
The drinking animation needs a lot of work, or just skip it and have it be instantaneous with a gulp sound
The woman’s head getting bigger from the drink is bizarre and disturbing
The woman spewing liquid out from her mouth doesn’t look great
- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 3 weeks ago:
They know the thing they’ve got going on now isn’t working so they have to latch onto anything new
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
Lots of guys are held back by looks and/or confidence.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
Much of our media depicts men in successful relationships, handsome, with a good circle of friends, decent jobs etc.
Guys see this and think there’s something wrong because their reality isn’t matching that media.
It’s more exciting to think you’re observing a widespread social phenomenon than to admit your expectations were shaped by fiction.
- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve heard good things about Polysecure. I understand your question doesn’t pertain to non-monogamy, but non-monogamy is an extension of being able to set and respect boundaries yourself rather than simply adopting boundaries that are the default in your community, so maybe it would be helpful?
- Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription? 4 weeks ago:
The damage comes from strain, which can be caused by trying to see through the wrong prescription of lenses (or no lenses).
- Comment on How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription? 4 weeks ago:
In response to your 2nd paragraph hypothetical, no, because the changes you’re describing are all forms of damage. You’d have to replace or repair the lens in the eye to revert the damage, and simply looking through a different type of external lens isn’t going to achieve that.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 month ago:
Solar cells are crystalline and rigid. You wouldn’t be able to fold the umbrella up and put it away. Also, as someone else pointed out, solar cells work best in sunlight… which you won’t want an umbrella for.
- Comment on Why do people hate coldplay? 1 month ago:
They, like many other bands, stopped doing what they were good at, to experiment. It’s not as good.
I don’t hate them, but their good albums were a long time ago.
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 1 month ago:
Trauma
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 1 month ago:
It doesn’t take very long to look at ratings. If it’s crap it’ll have crap ratings.
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 1 month ago:
Read reviews. Examine promotional materials. Discuss with friends.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 1 month ago:
Immersion and customizability
- Comment on Can you see magic eye pictures? 2 months ago:
Yes.
The instructions say don’t cross your eyes but that’s horseshit and probably why so many people fail to see them.
My method is to cross my eyes, then uncross them slowly until the 3d effect appears, then hold on that position.

Was the cookies popup really 3 years ago already?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Your sons are speaking from their experience, which may not be the same as yours.
- Comment on Why does Dairy Queen sell food? 2 months ago:
Hot eats cool treats. That was the slogan 20 years ago. Get some nuggets and a blizzard.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
He thought she was saying a small lie to get a reaction out of him. Like playing a small prank. Playfulness
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 3 months ago:
Don’t pay someone to steal something. The police will view conspiracy to commit theft much more harshly than blasting music.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 3 months ago:
Your Mom is hurting and lashing out.
You don’t need to fight her battles for her. But you can support her by spending time with her. If she doesn’t appreciate that, you can stop.
