Where funny.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 1 day ago:
I was like that too before I got glasses (I knew I had vision issues, but not how severe it was). I can’t stand 720p anymore.
- Comment on Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition - Reveal Trailer 5 days ago:
So from what I’m seeing, it’s just repackaging all the DLC and CC stuff into one bundle. Awful. A lot of the CC mods are not even that good. I don’t see how they think this is a good value over the bundle that comes with all the DLC already.
- Comment on Why was Newgrounds like this in the 2000s? 1 week ago:
Probably because it was most people’s taste of true freedom of expression? I didn’t use Newgrounds, but that was the internet for me and why the edgy shit was peak comedy.
Same behavior can be seen when leaving a classroom of elementary school children without an adult. At least a couple will go wild. 🤠

Oh that makes sense. Hope it works out for you.

I don’t ask this in a judgemental way: why would you choose to live in rural Brazil over Germany?
- Comment on they all start out the same but in a month they figure it out 3 weeks ago:
This was my first thought. It’s less hoping for a reward and more avoiding being fired for not being good enough.
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 4 weeks ago:
Have you watched Thunderbolts and the new Superman? They do actually rescue people (Superman way more).
I was thinking in the theater while watching Thunderbolts: “Huh, a scene where the heroes are rescuing people? I haven’t seen that in a long time.”
Superman even saved a squirrel. 🤩

- Comment on ‘I’m a modern-day luddite’: Meet the students who don’t use laptops 5 weeks ago:
As “someone who gets distracted very easily,” he made the change to reclaim his attention span. Ditching his laptop gave him an environment where “YouTube isn’t around the corner” and he can focus on his reading.
This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.
Reminds me a lot of fellow classmates at my college who I discovered hate online classes because they say they can’t stay focused. So I don’t know how these “luddite” students plan to not get distracted when their job will most likely involve sitting in front of a computer.

- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 1 month ago:
From my assumptions, the drivers see ahead of time if you use a wheelchair because the app asks you to mark yourself as a wheelchair user.
- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 1 month ago:
I don’t think the commenter wanted drivers to let people squeeze their wheelchairs into their tiny cars, rather that taxis are convenient because they can probably specifically request one that accommodates them. I’m guessing Uber doesn’t let you do that, but I somewhat certain Lyft let’s you notify potential drivers that you are wheelchair-bound in case their car cannot fit you.
- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 1 month ago:
That’s really nice then. I’m wondering if that’s why I rarely see any regular taxis. 90% of the ones I spot are the ones that are in between an SUV and minivan.
- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 1 month ago:
If a wheelchair is non-stowable (I assume it means not able to fold?), then why is a taxi different? Or are you referring to the large taxi cabs?
- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 1 month ago:
Wow, I’ve only been using Lyft for a good while now and I just assumed Uber took disabled riders as serious as they do.
I’m not disabled or have a service animal, but Lyft makes it very visible on the app that if you are one/have one, the drivers MUST be accommodating. They make it easy to report as well if they are not.
At least one company seems to care (I hope).
- Comment on F*ck off Arnie, you're out of your element! 2 months ago:
Oh so that’s why they left? I was so confused about that situation because either PBS never said why or I missed it. Nor did any discussions I read about it.
No wonder they want the fucking FBI on them.

Isn’t the redistricting going to happen no matter what? I haven’t read any news about Arnie’s involvement but if he’s supervising, that’s a good thing no?
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 months ago:
I’m a sucker for a good, immersive environment. I know it’s primarily meant for playing multiplayer, do people still play it?
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 months ago:
Can you elaborate on why Generation Zero? I remember seeing a trailer for it randomly before it released and thought it looked great. Haven’t heard a peep about it from anyone though, so assumed it ended up being boring.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 months ago:
Only 3 choices makes it a tough one since there are many exceptional games…
If I had to erase every experience of all games, the ones I’d keep are (in no particular order): Cyberpunk 2077 Fallout: New Vegas Sunset Overdrive

Except for the first time to learn the pain.
And the mirror universe intro should never be skipped.

Not my cup of tea but pretty cool. And nice thinking with using SVGs for scaling.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 months ago:
Ah. Makes sense. I caught a stream once and he pretty much just did discussions with the chat. A lot of his videos were just cuts from his streams when someone asked.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 months ago:
My condolences. I don’t even dislike the voice, his attitude just makes him so punchable. You think he’s some kind of expert at first but then it dawns on you that he’s just confidently stupid.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 3 months ago:
A comment? Am I misreading your comment or is this just ignorance of the situation? Because PirateSoftware made a whole ass video on the subject way back (the one allegedly rife with misinformation). I remember it on my feed when the campaign was getting traction, but didn’t watch it because my view of him was souring.
From what clips I’ve seen*, PirateSoftware misinterprets the majority of what he addressed. Either maliciously or unknowingly, which is why he was blamed for tanking momentum since that video did get a ton of views (before people wised up to him being a total cunt).
*Yes I know the irony of what I just said there after reading your last paragraph. I believe these terminally online streamers because I would not put it past PirateSoftware to be this awful after watching his videos for a small period and then the subsequent controversies coming out.
- Comment on A decentralised game hub? 3 months ago:
I believe Space Station 14 fits your criteria exactly if I’m interpreting it correctly. Space Station 13 would as well if not for the fact that player accounts must still be centralized to a server. That server is currently under a cyber attack, which really shows the importance of decentralization (in this instance, I’m not that big a fan of the concept).
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 4 months ago:
For me it was the original Modern Warfare 3. I played that campaign a lot as a kid, but didn’t have internet back then so no multiplayer and no one to discuss the game with. The story is dumbed down compared to the first two games but it was pure fun and cinematic, every mission was memorable to me.
Like I didn’t even know what the stock exchange was back then, I just thought it was awesome traveling through city ruins fighting invaders.
Also the survival mode was super fun too.
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 5 months ago:
I don’t get why anyone goes to a Starbucks still. If I want aRtiSAn coffee I can still get it cheaper and probably far better quality.
My favorite indulgence is an iced coffee with bananas from Nordstrom (I’m still confused why they went into the coffee business but they are quite successful) and the large cup is still cheaper than what Starbucks offers. I haven’t set foot in one for a couple of years because 7$ for an iced mocha was revolting.
Their iced mocha coffee was all I drank but even the glass bottles they sold in stores I had to stop buying. It’s coffee, not gold!
