- Comment on Anon has a question 5 days ago:
I crave online validation too so I just repost memes, firstpost obvious takes, and post things that make me say “Neat” to the community I created for that express purpose.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 6 days ago:
Thing is, replicator food works from standard sets. Think of it like getting McDonalds. You get Maccas in the U.K.? Tastes like McD’s in Japan or Korea or India. It gets tiresome. Hence why they have Neelix, Guinan, or Quark running bars, kitchens, or lounges to put the human (Well… you know what I mean.) touch on things.
So yeah, deffo wish my biggest problem was my unlimited sauvignon blanc was only 8/10 so I decided to take up winemaking as a hobby to try and one up it.

I always figured that some folks are writing, reading, arting, or farminf, and then theres dudes using the replicator to make dank space weed or the holodeck to get blowie joeys from helen of troy.

Apologies are for weak babies and Trump is a big strong manly man who definitely never shit his pants during a press conference.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 week ago:
If they didn’t have fortnite and unreal engine money propping them up it would have closed by now. Hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 2 weeks ago:
IIRC Gog takes 30% but not sure we can count them owing to what they distribute.
The only actual competitor store (i.e. not reselling steam keys) at present is Epic with its 88/12 split after a million in sales, and as far as I know it hasn’t been profitable since it opened in 2018, despite straight up giving away product and buying exclusives to try and build a base, so not really the best argument.
Obligatory LOL if we’re going to note either the EA or Ubisoft stores in this discussion. MS probably falls into that pile too but tbh haven’t looked into them much.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 2 weeks ago:
Yes, they have a good interface, but they take a ludicrous portion of game revenue.
They take the same cut as Microsft, EA, Nintendo, Google, Apple, Sony, and more. You wanna argue 30% is excessive? I agree, but Steam isn’t an outlier here. At least Steam has enough extra shit they do for devs to make that 30% almost feel worth it.

- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 4 weeks ago:
Tony Stark is 100% the genius Elon wishes he was. He entered MIT at about 14, and graduated with multiple degrees at 17. While he didn’t invent the arc reactor, he both miniaturized (As part of his origin story, when he created the first suit in a cave with a box of scraps.) and perfected it. If we go by MCU, he wasn’t in charge of Stark Industries for a large chunk of the weapon development days, and after his kidnapping and Iron Man origin story, he had his company stop developing weapons, so now they’re a tech conglomerate that does generic tech conglomerate things I guess.
He’s also not real, so huge grain of salt.

If it was done in a fictional world I’d be calling Donald putting his name on it some crazy foreshadowing.

Figured as much. No shot a chargeback would end well for them in that situation.

- Comment on Are skin readings a thing when it comes to psychics? 2 months ago:
Theres all manner of goofy psychic bullshittery out there from palms to tea leaves to runes and tarot cards. I haven’t heard of titty readings or indeed any psychic stuff involving the rest of the body apart from the hands.
I could see someone claiming some shit for blood maybe, and personality stuff regarding skull shape and blood type are both psuedosciences that exist, the latter being popular in Japan, the former with 1800s racists.

- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 5 months ago:
Who wants to hear my, “Why reddit got image hosting of its own when it did” conspiracy theory? No one? Too bad, posting it anyhow.
Few years ago reddit had a subreddit called fatpeoplehate. It existed to, you guessed it, hate fat people. “Fattie” became an insult du juor. One day they find out an imgur employee is fat, and start in on being shitters. This apparently was the straw that broke the camels back because they finally got banned.
My theory is simple: reddit didn’t ban fatpeoplehate because they went too far. They banned it because imgur threatened to block them and being the image site, this would fuck reddit up. Imagine being a social media site with no pictures. Impossible.
Reddit, not too long after that, adds image hosting. Could it be a coincidence? Sure. Do I think its one? Not really.
Fun addendum, a study was done post-ban and reddit actually became less toxic after the ban. Crazy how denying shitty folks a platform actually makes your site better, whoda thunk?
