- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 1 week ago:
A nation of toddlers all screaming for something different and being unable to come together on a single point.
- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 2 weeks ago:
This feels like cherry picking (there is probably a better pun in there). The sentiment I saw when the servers went down was overwhelming support for the Dev and the happiness than an indie game is doing with AAA games can’t; bring down steam.
- Comment on Florida Says It Plans to End All Vaccine Mandates | The state would be the first to scrap requirements that children be vaccinated to attend school, among other rules. 2 weeks ago:
I moved to Oregon 15 years ago. Best thing I ever did. I love St. Pete, but I fucking hate Florida.
- Comment on Anon eats Italian 2 weeks ago:
That looks like the meatball they didn’t expect anyone to order.
- Comment on redwoods 3 weeks ago:
I won’t.
- Comment on Man Charged With Assaulting Federal Agent With Sandwich in D.C. | A video showed a man repeatedly calling a group of officers “fascists” before throwing a sub sandwich at one. 5 weeks ago:
Surely he’ll get the same treatment as the Jan 6ers, right? A pardon and place of honor by the President?
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 weeks ago:
XenoSaga is worth it, though it suffers the same fate as Xenogears being rushed at the end. Xenoblade is definitely worth it. None of them cross over but they have the same themes and motifs, plus a little fan service for series old heads.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 month ago:
- Chrono Trigger
- Xenogears
- Vagrant Story
Nier:Automata gets an honorable mention.
- Comment on 'Consumers are not okay with okay': Take-Two boss says BioShock 4 is taking so long because the company's goal is 'to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment' 1 month ago:
I think the original devs left after the second one. The third was a new crew. I could be misremembering too, though.
- Comment on Recommendations for games to play on a treadmill (i.e. not too intense) 1 month ago:
Fucking Vandal Heats goddamn.
- Comment on Steam gets a brand new video player for trailers 1 month ago:
Goddamn. It’s about time.
- Comment on Goosebumps: The Game will be removed from sale on August 8, 2025. 1 month ago:
On steam, yes, but I’m not sure about other platforms. However, if it has any online components or anything hosted on servers elsewhere, it will lose some or all functionality, and even if you install it, it may not run at that point.
- Comment on Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago? 1 month ago:
I dream just as big. My path to realizing them has only gotten more narrow.
- Comment on electrostatic spider flight 1 month ago:
Start off with the Children of Time series, there’s no reason not to. Well written, great story with memorable characters, and a fantastic hard sci-fi twist on what intelligent life really is, and how we think of ourselves and others.
- Comment on electrostatic spider flight 1 month ago:
Oh, for sure. I hate spiders, and I was loathe to read it, but damned if I didn’t enjoy all of them.

Adrian Tchaikovsky warned us of this.

The only Nazi paraphernalia I collect is scalps.

That’s like collecting Nazi paraphernalia
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 2 months ago:
You can kinda see this play on in the short story by Ted Chiang called The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate.
- Comment on Anthem servers shutting down January 12, 2026 2 months ago:
It was just a jab at the current Stop Killing Games stuff that is going on.
- Comment on Anthem servers shutting down January 12, 2026 2 months ago:
Lmao. Ubi shuts down The Crew, but EA is like, “idk, give anthem another 6 months.”
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Cool. I just wanted to make sure my downvote and block was warranted.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Do you have any specific policies you are worried about?
- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 2 months ago:
Good clean living
- Comment on Anon draws 3 months ago:
It is, but it looks purposefully bad. Typically you’d use a ruler, and you’d make much lighter lines because you are going to erase them later. This just kinda looks like an asshole that doesn’t want to be in art class.
- Comment on Anon pitches a new game 3 months ago:
Because money isn’t real if you have enough to lose. You can just put the blame on someone else and then get your shareholders to fund another project that will be “different”, just like all the other cash cows on the market.
- Comment on A simple solution, really 3 months ago:
But if you put that $600 into a money mar…and it’s gone.

They are called phosphenes, if you are curious.
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 3 months ago:
It’s a harsh quote, but it gets the point across: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” Carlin was right, and it applies here. Sure, half of us may be able to adequately identify what we should and shouldn’t eat, but there is another half that can’t. With proper education we can change that, but right now corporations educate better through commercials than schools do through lectures. We have to maintain oversight because the evil of capitalism will choose profit over people every time.

There are surprisingly few of them, they are just a very vocal few. I’ve blocked most of them now, and it’s made things much more bearable. Sometimes, though, I’ll catch a single downvote and I’ll imagine it’s one of them farting their virtue-signaling into the void.
