If it even partially alleviates loneliness, and if it encourages the person to become more open and confident when communicating with humans, then it’s a great thing.

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto Games 'At Risk' From Being Pulled From Sale Ahead Of GTA 6 2 weeks ago:
One of the only times I’ve ever been grateful that Rockstar Games - a litigious and thoroughly despicable crew of money-grubbing cunts - are being pressed in their most sensitive and tender area: their bank account.
Now John Indiegame doesn’t need to worry about the Collective Shout campaign. The scumbags with the army of lawyers and endless rivers of money will take care of things.

- Comment on So GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games. 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t spent a dime on GOG since this happened. Fuck them. Not only is their professed anti-censorship stance fucking laughable in light of the Devotion débâcle, their game preservation efforts are even more laughable when they literally excluded a game from possible preservation because of a hoard of thin-skinned CCP hostages.
Even without that episode I would have stopped using GOG eventually, because they also went against their one selling point - no DRM - more than once. They sold Witcher 3 hard copies with online verification (you had to link it to your account with a serial number, you couldn’t just install it and play it from the disc offline). They included a little card in the box with an apology for this requirement, citing their need to protect their sales. Which is fair enough, but don’t pretend that this isn’t DRM. The fact that it was one of their own games shows how much hypocrisy they have when they complain about other developers doing the same thing. Being able to share the downloaded files freely makes me wonder why they bothered with any DRM, but bother they did.
Then they sold Hitman (2016) which has literally the most egregious and hateful DRM in the history of gaming. If you don’t submit to it, your game is essentially a very expensive demo. Most content and even basic game features like saving and progress tracking is disabled unless you’re connected to the DRM server. GOG users complained and the game was delisted, but the fact remains that they fucking tried. If GOG doesn’t even believe in being anti-DRM anymore, then I see no reason to use their [apparently] CCP-curated games library.
GOG may have started out as a plucky band of disruptors and idealists, but that dream died about 10 years ago. They’re EA cosplaying as Che Guevara. I wouldn’t even mind if they behaved like every other storefront, but it’s the pretence and the morality-washing that makes them especially despicable. I mean EA and Ubisoft aren’t feigning to be motivated by some grand political or societal good; they’re malignant capitalists who would sell their own children, and would tell you as much. GOG dons the robes of a grassroots pinko activist while dancing to the exact same corporate tune.

Nice gesture, but keep in mind that this is the same GOG that was poised to release Devotion by RedCandleGames, only to renege on it because CCP imbeciles told them to. They are brave against censorship except when it involves actual conflict with censors. As soon as that happens, it’s bootlick city.

Q: Sir, please… *choke* I was just explaining… *cough* the pen’s unique bidet feature…
Joe Bond: Bidet feature? You made me pop your eye outta your head over a fuckin’ BIDET FEATURE? You dumb motherfucker!
Q: Sir, I apologise, but if you just… *splutter* use the pen’s other feature, the wound-cauterising laser, I might yet… *gasp* live…
- Comment on US education 3 weeks ago:
This is somehow more offensive to my brain than if they’d simply said “electricity is god”. The way they completely muddy the issue, making the reader not just misinformed but made to feel complacent, like there’s no correct information to be found, is way more grotesque. It shuts down the mind of the reader. It’s anti-education.

If you suffer from erectile softness, sliding yourself into an MRI like this will cause the iron-rich blood from your whole body to be drawn into your pennis by the powerful magnet. Then you just tie a tourniquet on it at the base, and you’re good to go.
Also works in a large centrifuge in which they train fighter pilots, if you don’t have access to a hospital.
- Comment on Can't Fool Me! 4 weeks ago:
I’m in my 40s and I still occasionally get a dream where I’m using the toilet, and that in the dream I’m making sure I’m really awake by looking around the room reading labels on things etc. People say you can’t read text in dreams, because it looks mangled and makes no sense. Well, if you believe it makes sense within the logic of the dream - that is, whatever switch in your brain that makes you go from “not sure” to “100% confident” gets flipped - then it matters not what lorem ipsum horseshit is printed in melting calligraphy on the shampoo bottle. My brain yearns for a piss-filled mattress and it will not be dissuaded by my feeble attempts at some sort of dreamworld scientific method.

Nazi ideology, OP OP. There was a nice little thing we had once, until you cunts took it up like a hoard of malignant nihilist pussies 😒Now we can’t even bring up the Third Reich’s many incredible qualities in conversation without someone rolling their eyes! n-chan numpties ruin every fandom.

- Comment on Anon turns on raytracing 1 month ago:
I never turn it on, the visual difference is too unimportant to warrant such a huge cost in hardware resources (and temperature). It looks different if you have side-by-side screenshots, or if you turn it off and on in-game, but if the difference is several orders of magnitude too slight to be worth it. Higher frames-per-second is more important than realistically-simulated light beams. You can’t really have both in large AAA games.

Sad little men like that are most hurt by you not being offended by them. It’s like with internet trolls; non-engagement is the best weapon. It also happens to require the least amount of energy or time. So easy, but so devastating to their ego.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Update 1.1 (Beta) 2 months ago:
Why are they so excruciatingly slow to release patches? This patch doesn’t even cover game-breaking issues, such as the bow’s paralysis perk crashing the game if you trigger the perk twice in a row. There’s a workaround where you edit .ini files to set the chance of paralysis to 0%, but most people aren’t gonna do that.
I got 100% of the cheevos and logged 110 hours in doing so. The game crashed for me literally hundreds of times (maybe close to 1,000), and I submitted the bug reports for every one of them. I had to quicksave every minute, to avoid losing too much progress. It’s the most unstable piece of software I’ve ever used, game or otherwise.
The game itself is great, but fuck me… almost 2 months later and they patched maybe 0.2% of the crashes and bugs every player is encountering 😒
