- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 1 day ago:
I had to remember that I bought an Index and Steam Deck on Steam so that has definitely inflated the amount I’ve spent compared to the 3rd party valuation lol
- Comment on Do it 3 days ago:
More Than A Feeling In My Ass
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 1 week ago:
There’s nothing more masculine than dominating another man physically.
;)
- Comment on Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government? 1 week ago:
Are you asking if humans have the right to free speech? Because yes.
Any “government” that doesn’t recognize that deserves the respect of no human being
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 1 week ago:
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.

THE Harold Zoid!
- Comment on What actually came first? The chicken or the egg? 1 week ago:
The chicken. When it decided to cross the road
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 2 weeks ago:
As an American (not that it’s particularly unique from Europe) living in a city feels much better because I’m not completely tied to my car. Living in suburbs and rural areas makes it far less tenable to walk or bike anywhere. Cities are the only place with any sort of public transportation or even pedestrian infrastructure that is remotely walker-friendly
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 3 weeks ago:
Call of Duty: World At War Zombies
Every map in WaW zombies has been re-released at least twice. WaW zombies is cool because of how simple and barebones it is, but holy fucking hell that game was not coded for any sort of melee combat. The zombie bodies are so damn large, according to their hit boxes. Try to run past them but brush up against their pinky? Guess you’re done. Also for some reason the co-op splitscreen is not split vertically, and it’s not split horizontally, each of the two players just gets a quarter of the screen in a tiny box. Who knows why.
I love it to death but it’s real hard to go back to it.
- Comment on HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks 3 weeks ago:
The headline also sucks. “HP are [doing something] because [a different company’s] user experience sucks” reeks of utter hypocrisy
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 3 weeks ago:
Social media is not just a tool; every single major social network has an algorithm with an agenda
Tools for connecting people cannot make editorial decisions. Tools for connecting people don’t try to manipulate those people into thinking certain ways.
If social networks were purely tools for connecting people who want to communicate, then we’d be having a different conversation.
If you ask me, we should recategorize Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc from “Social Networks” to “Content Distributors” because that’s what they are. They take content from the users and advertisers and prioritize what they want to promote in front of the users.
Signal, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc don’t have algorithms with agendas so their purpose is purely social networking. They are the actual social networks.
- Comment on Is there a good way to buy chrome lettering in the same font as the brand's original lettering on the back of the car? 3 weeks ago:
More towards the funny side. Just looking to customize my car with the same font

- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege X update detailed, as game goes free-to-play on June 10 4 weeks ago:
I’m curious- what PvE mode were you hoping for? Like some kind of expansion on what T-hunt used to be?
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege X update detailed, as game goes free-to-play on June 10 4 weeks ago:
The ranked pool is limited to paying players still, which is a good way to help keep cheaters out
- Comment on Starbucks continues to be terrible 5 weeks ago:
96 million could pay the salaries of basically 2000 baristas
- Comment on Why build for tomorrow when it's someone else's tomorrow? 1 month ago:
Odds are that there are dozens of people way cooler than me who would benefit from the work that I can do in preparation for them.
Also, eternal life, like immortality in the annals of human history, is only something I can hope for. Making other people’s lives better is the only way I know for sure I can make a mark in the world.
As Bo Burnham puts it, “You pray so badly for heaven knowing any day could be the day that you die. Maybe life on Earth can be heaven. Doesn’t just the thought of it make it worth a try?”
- Comment on Should all AI generated images be age restricted? 1 month ago:
Ok.
- Comment on Pokémon games have become consistently ugly, and it's alright to wish they weren't 1 month ago:
Yeah that’s fair. I haven’t cared about Pokemon since the remakes of Sapphire and Ruby during which I didn’t lose a single battle. It was a cool nostalgia trip but since there was absolutely no strategy necessary I never ever wanted to go back since there’s not enough reward for the time sink; it’s just not fun imo.
- Comment on Pokémon games have become consistently ugly, and it's alright to wish they weren't 1 month ago:
Dudes be like “devs too focused on making a game pretty instead of fun” then be like “this game is too ugly and it’s making me upset”
- Comment on What is the name of the sexuality of being into the opposite gender and willing to date the same gender but not finding anyone of the same gender attractive? 1 month ago:
This is probably not at all what this person is like, but the way I read this made me picture someone desperate to prove that they’re cool and hip by being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have never heard of anyone like this, though I have heard of someone very European claiming to be native American for the street cred so I wouldn’t say no one would ever do the same with sexuality.

- Comment on need retro game recommendations 1 month ago:
Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland was my absolute favorite GBA game as a kid. It’s extremely linear but so well put together
- Comment on 'The point is to be generous': This $20 FPS releasing next month is trying something new—giving away a full version of the game 1 month ago:
I love party games like these
I just wish my friends did too :(

- Comment on Continuously runn8ng screen recorder for linux? 1 month ago:
I believe you can configure it to record the desktop as well
- Comment on what’s with some adult tv shows using tiktok speak/“brainrot” or acting like the example below, wouldn’t this approach work better with children’s shows? 1 month ago:
Brainrot is a very unique kind of joke. To old people, it’s funny because “haha kids are stupid.” To middle-aged people, it’s funny because it sounds like a meme and that on its own makes it funny. To young adults, it’s funny because it’s an ironic meta joke that’s funny just because it’s supposed to be funny even though it really isn’t funny. To teenagers, it’s funny because “haha old people are stupid because “haha kids are stupid” so let’s play a prank on old people to make them think we’re stupid.” To kids, it’s funny because it’s funny to teenagers.
So I dunno take your pick. Also marketing and sales people can be notoriously up their own ass and out of touch (see the Wendy’s “memer” commercial) so who knows why they do things
