  It took me a second. I don’t really care for “spectrum” being universally used to represent specifically the autism spectrum. Obviously there are other spectrums, most everything can probably be defined by a spectrum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely, even at something like 100 * min wage. Still a hell of a lot less than what’s happening today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jimmy Carter Casts His Ballot for Harris in Georgia⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious what percentage of surviving presidents are also voting for Harris.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explains a lot...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “If you’re going through Hell, keep on going.”

  Let’s all be glad so that we may live in concord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suddenly firefox on ios shows ads on homescreen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On Mobile devices, I simply don’t use the homepage. I always disable it and use a blank page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Playstation firmware is going to make it harder to play games offline.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, I’m pretty sure that’s how PS5 handled that scenario even before this update.

  I took it as the image looks vaguely like she’s looking at a piece of mail or a paycheck with a concerned expression on her face, befitting of the general content of the article.

  I saw this recently and would like to point out that this is actually from last election.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an e-celeb⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Half the time, streaming is virtually no different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays Overwatch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well you see, there are sometimes 9 other players out there.

  Exactly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popular APRG 'Last Epoch' to get Steam Deck Verified with a big update on September 19⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard good things. I’ve been watching for it to go on sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Call of Duty get to this point?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe they’re referring to the slide and dive mechanics. AFAIK considering this is the first game I’ve played in awhile, you can now sprint, slide, and dive in any direction.

  Think like strafe sprinting and diving around a corner as you turn your aim around behind you to shoot at someone you just dove passed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Call of Duty get to this point?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The gameplay has changed so little over the years but that’s because it’s unfortunately pretty solid.

  I played a lot when I was younger but stopped because I didn’t have the money, hard drive space, or internet bandwidth to keep up with the new games and updates.

  With that said, I actually jumped into this beta since it was included in Game Pass and it reminded me of CoD of my youth.

  Will I every give them anymore more money? Nah.

  Will I play it some more via Game Pass? Maybe.

  My biggest complaint is the ecosystem is cancer. They have CoD HQ that acts as a launcher but can only handle a couple games and if you select to play one of the games it can’t play, it fully closes and launches the game you want to play.

  Can you simply download and launch only the game you want to play? Nope.

  This is all to get your eyes on as much of their content as possible to really squeeze out those last few dollars.

  The amount of players I saw with the skins that cost them $100 minimum was crazy. These are very likely the same people that buy every game every year and are precisely the target demographic they’re marketing towards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for Populous.

  But my answer to this every time is Red Faction (1, specifically. While I did enjoy Guerrilla, I want to see a throw back to more fully destructible environments on next gen tech).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no you didn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve lifts NDA on Deadlock, streaming and talking about the game is now allowed.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just fyi, I saw this posted in the announcements channel of their Discord server that you can join from the game’s main menu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TEMU black hole⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to day you could probably lump Shein with those as well but I have nothing to back that up except it has the same scammy feel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They literally only have to pander to a small handful of whales to justify pay to win microtransactions. I’m sure the average player never spends any money on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First reactions to Borderlands call it a "game over"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good reason. Have fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon saves their vacation days⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I always obsessively double check the employee handbook before making a decision like this especially over 4 years.

  But how can I stop the spiders? We have so many…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternatively

  Game Publishers: Release unfinished game that gets horrid backlash until they work overtime to patch it to a slightly more playable hell, get caught in an update loop, game inadvertantly becomes live service.

  Sometimes, it works out (No Man’s Sky)

  I mean, you probably can, once.

  I think I remember learning that it was to save on printing (newspapers, etc.), but I haven’t fact checked that.
