In addition to what everyone else is saying, I’ll say that relying solely on your own perception is a pretty weak scientific measurement. That’s like trying to tell me a banana isn’t radioactive because it doesn’t taste like it. If you use any form of measurement to check the curvature of the earth, then you see that it is round. Using your eyes is the absolute worst way to base fact.
Also, this wasn’t targeted at you. I’m not calling you dumb or anything, just making the argument. I know you are presenting the devil’s advocate stance in good faith.

Oh, it’s not real. I can’t remember what I was using before gmail. I was too hip for hotmail, so it was likely some boutique bullshit that sold itself to a marketing firm for their URL.

There is a chronodarkprophet@something.com still out there getting spam email from every site I could put my email into.

Yeah, that other kid was a punk bitch who needs to get his ass kicked to learn his place in life. Someone messed up raising him, and they raised a cunt.

And the DLC and “Deluxe” editions… The price of a AAA game is well over $100 now.
- Comment on Does the fact Stoat.chat doesn't have E2EE mean the server owner can read any and all messages, including DMs? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the stoat note.
…I’m sorry.
- Comment on Does the fact Stoat.chat doesn't have E2EE mean the server owner can read any and all messages, including DMs? 2 weeks ago:
Technically yes. Likely they still use Transport Layer Security that will encrypt the messages in transit, but that encryption is controlled by the company, and not the end user. What that means is that your messages are safe from randos in the cafe on the same wifi as you, but if the company wanted to, they could read them. It also means that if messages are subpoenaed then they can hand over the unencrypted messages to the authorities.
I tried looking at their documentation to see what was going on under the hood, but there were a lot of connection errors and dead ends. They seem to be open source, though, so if you are so inclined you can comb through their code to see what kind of encryption they use.
Personally, I’d stay away. It doesn’t seem like something that I could put my trust in.

It’s not so much the users as the mods. I haven’t met one I liked. Tend to sniff their own farts a little too deeply.

I’m glad I blocked the blahaj.zone instance just to get it crossposted into a barely relevant community.
…sigh. Here I go blocking again.

That’s pretty bad for a renewable, though. Most of the time you only get one at a time, and that one doesn’t provide much…
You know what, I was all on board with making this joke when I started writing, but the more I typed, the less I wanted to continue. So, yeah, I’m sure you can see where it was going. I’m done.

- Comment on Trump baselessly says Rob Reiner died because he was anti-Trump, politicizing the director's killing 2 months ago:
I hope Trump dies soon. It used to be just silently like syphilis or a brain hemorrhage. Now, I’d be kinda OK with hearing him scream.
- Comment on Anon's neighbors have chickens 2 months ago:
I moved into a house with roommates who had chickens. It wasn’t great. The chickens were cool, but they attract vermin. We had a real rat issue for a while, and they wouldn’t believe me that the rats were going after the chicken feed/poop, as well as the warmth of the coop. Then, they got tired of tending to the birds and rehomed them. Sure enough, the rat problem vanished.
- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 2 months ago:
I liked it the first two times. I don’t need a third.
- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 2 months ago:
They just dropped a very mediocre Metroid title, and Mario Kart was middling at best, so they are down two franchises this generation already. If they make another clone of BotW then they are gonna be down a third, and they’ll have to make it up with Mario, but Donkey Kong didn’t inspire hope on that front, so I’m not sure what I have to look forward to…
Oh. Pokemon… Well, I’m not holding out hope there either after Scarlet/Violet.

Zelda and Mario are first party, so I get that, but Xenoblade kills me. I need a rerelease of Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade on PC.

Wasn’t this already on the first Switch? How did you fuck this up? It was already done.
Honestly, I’m kinda over the Switch 2 at this point. All of the games that have come out for it look empty and soulless, and there hasn’t been anything to make me truly want to spend $500 on another piece of kit. They’ve had long enough to put out some quality, and the promise of “$80 for a game ensure we can continue to deliver quality” is just the corporate bullshit we all knew it was. This is the WiiU all over again.

I was just about to say that I usually trust Russ will all my retro gaming handhelds, but I’ll gladly take a second opinion. Glad to see that you follow him as well and aren’t afraid to put your own thoughts out there. Nice work!
