- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 days ago:
Halo 1 was never difficult with Cortana telling you were to go and the waypoint on screen. Assault on the Control/Two Betrayals has arrows on the hallway floors and I never got turned around in The Library.
If you really want labyrinth level design from Bungie, the Marathon series is were it’s at and completely explains why there’s so much hand holding in Halo CE.

The worse thing that can happen to your niche hobby is for it to go mainstream. US anime has been consolidated into the Sony/Crunchyroll/Funimation/Rightstuf monster.
- Comment on Three years after a cinematographer was killed by a stray bullet on set, "Rust" is being released in theaters this weekend. Funds from the release will go to the victim's family, mainly to her son. 3 days ago:
“So the math works out that you owe us 2 million.”

How much “Hollywood Accounting” is going to be used to keep the funds out of the hands of the family?

It’s Pearson.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
While I feel sorry for her as a worker, I do not feel sorry for her as a writer.
Live Service writing for AAA studios has got to be the most disposable form of fiction. I can find old short stories from magazines that closed close to a century ago, but I can’t play the Destiny series from start to finish today?

Apex has a story?
- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' finera;l 1 week ago:
There are a lot of reasons to not like Thatcher that have nothing to do with her being a woman.
- Comment on Space Dreams 1 week ago:
You’re not entirely wrong, but it’s still a slap in the face to all the progress that has been made int he last 50 years for women in stem recognition.
- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' finera;l 1 week ago:
Wasn’t that a reference to Thatcher? Not women in general.
- Comment on Do you understand how many people 350 million is? How did this worm ridden ball sack float to the top? 1 week ago:
Money and connections.

Without Due Process, they aren’t criminals. What’s happening in America is exactly the same as early Nazi Germany.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 1 week ago:
oh, I was never locked in the apple ecosystem. I genuinely liked the OS for a very long time, but avoided owning music on iTunes, using their office suite or owning any iOS device. I was already using linux full time on an ebay Macbook Pro while my desktop was a hackintosh. Dropping support for 32bit apps was the final straw.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 1 week ago:
You’d have a point, except in the case of Operating Systems, one of the reasons I bailed on Mac was the reduction in customization of the desktop. They kept removing the colors in favor of a safe for business grayscale.
In the case of trucks, I’d rather have the same grill be used for 20 years so I can cheaply get a replacement from the junkyard if I need one. I’m so frustrated by the commercial options, I’m building a light duty 80’s C10 for my daily. Easy to work on, easy to fix, parts are cheap.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 1 week ago:
It’s an excuse to keep your product in the news/review cycle. You can’t just create a useful product and leave it at that. You have to constantly change shit so people are constantly talking about it. Why do you think iPhone keep switching between rounded and square edges? It’s not because one style is better then the other. It’s so reviewers have something to talk about. It’s why commercial OSes keep getting features no one asked for. It’s why car and truck bodies keep changing even though body lines have no effect on driveability.

We’ve also just created a system that rewards psychopaths.

July 16, 2018. That’s when Musk called that rescue work a pedophilia.
That’s when his antics couldn’t be hand waved as eccentric or trolling. The rumors that he was a shitty boss weren’t back up yet, he was still pro-LGBT and he had renewed public interest in space travel after the shuttles were retired.

I miss when moot ran it and it didn’t have “mainstream” interest boards.

My neighbors just advertise their fascism. Ever notice how sexually represented countries are more prone to war?

*If you challenge my

The only thing I think when I hear someone else’s notification is, why the fuck is it so loud and why the fuck aren’t they silencing it?
- Comment on A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates 3 weeks ago:
I only deal with people from one country, but I always write out the month so there’s no confusion in important messages. Even including the day of the week as a type of verification.

No one joins ICE to be a good person.
- Comment on My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate. 3 weeks ago:
I was gonna suggest just running hot tap water over it for a few minutes until the air inside expanded enough.
- Comment on Balatro yet again subject to mods’ poor understanding of “gambling” 3 weeks ago:
The national government in Japan is a pile geriatrics who don’t want to do anything. Pretty much every prefecture(think state or provenance) raised the age of consent to 18 a long time ago.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 3 weeks ago:
Ubisoft’s stocks aren’t looking great at the moment.
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 3 weeks ago:
I’m just referencing the movie, but if you think that there not racists in NYC, you haven’t talk to enough New Yorkers.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 4 weeks ago:
Ubisoft can’t complain that I wont buy their games if I don’t really own their games.
