  If they take it down we’ll make it again.

  No idea why my previous comment shows as quoted, but whatever

  My argument is that if they were actually competing that would mess with the performative nature of the storytelling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  athlete Athletes compete or strive against others to attain a goal, TV wrestlers perform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think anybody is asking to measure his feet, but these measurement devices are practically everywhere that shoes are sold, so it’s easy to check for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device gatekeeps my gender⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if it’s a function of total surface area or if it’s more about the weight pressing on your ankles…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In heat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a funny challenge I like to come up with simplified, stupid-sounding, 3-word search queries for complex questions, and more often than not it’s good enough to get me the information I’m looking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to try to use them 100%, but there are so many situations where it’s completely unwarranted (in my specific driving circumstances). So I guess I default to using my indicators, but I try to use them the right way, i.e. before a lane change rather than after I’ve started to commit.

  Also, I used to put on my indicator for a lane change nice and early, but dear god the way these cars warn about your blind spot being occupied, holy shit. Music turns down, loud beeping, it’s madness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but only because I rarely pull out of a driveway or parking spot into any sort of traffic. Parallel parked on a road, though, sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft movie spawns ‘annoying’ cinema trend that viewers claim ‘ruins’ the film⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Minecraft has only been around for 15 years, so I would think the generation that never knew a time without Minecraft would be about that old, as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Renewed For Season 2 At Showtime⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, yeah, that would have been neat, too. Anything other than continuing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Renewed For Season 2 At Showtime⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ONLY way the original show should have ended was with Dexter being convicted or executed.

  I was very surprised to hear that China arrested him for it in the first place

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teardown to Get Multiplayer Later in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My graveyard of abandoned games grows almost as quickly as my library.

  I recognize this as novelty-seeking behavior, but I think I’m discerning enough now that I get my money’s worth, generally speaking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teardown to Get Multiplayer Later in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I shamelessly cheat in single player games. Most of the time I’m just trying to make the game more fun for myself, and one of those ways is to skip past the parts I don’t enjoy.

  This definitely backfires sometimes, but if I can squeeze more enjoyment out of it before I put it down (almost certainly forever), I will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could Trump's "Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation" order defund vasectomies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think so. It’s a pretty barbaric practice, so it deserves strong language. I suspect the only reason it’s still prevalent in America is the momentum of long-standing tradition. There’s no reasonable justification for performing unnecessary surgery on a newborn’s genitals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crocodile Dundee | New 'Encore Cut' removes footage from original film⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it’s using the common film versioning differentiator, calling it the Encore Cut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crocodile Dundee | New 'Encore Cut' removes footage from original film⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I was re-releasing art that didn’t age well, especially if the part that aged like milk was otherwise insignificant, I would probably alter it as well. It’s not changing anything that’s already out there, it’s just a newer version.

  His superpower might be that he can tell if somebody in close proximity to him has the entirety of their penis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heroes of Hammerwatch II Launch Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked the first one better. I guess I was just looking for the rogue-like fix of “failing forward” on subsequent runs, but the gameplay loop is much wider on the second one and that didn’t quite satisfy me the same way.

  I know this is a shit post, but scribble dry erase marker over it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ridley Scott Defends 'The Martian' As a Comedy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Listened to the book and watched the extended cut just the other day. It’s quite funny, definitely part of Andy Weir’s charm, but it’s far more dramatic a story than it is a comedy.

  Some of the longer, reflective scenes in the extended cut give it a more somber tone, but they don’t actually add anything to the story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a good one⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Winter Sale 2024 Has Begun!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how they changed library sharing, too, so group members are only accessing individual games rather than entire libraries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 Might Have Been Canceled⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fine. It was fun, but not so different from any of the other offerings that it’ll be sorely missed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Memories of a bygone era⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But it was so satisfying when all the dirt and dust came off and your mouse tracked like brand new again.

  Maybe I’m just crazy, but I hated all of the characters!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every comment in these posts seems to be either “StarCitizen killed my family and dishonored my temple” or “can’t believe people let SC kill their family and dishonor their temple.”

  Same old hate without real substance.

  The video is a redo from the guy who did it live at Citizen Con, because the demo crashed when they were onstage.
