Yup. He just sued the EPIC medical record company this past week or so claiming they are a monopoly. Took me 5 minutes to figure out he’s just mad Epic allows their hospital clients to restrict parents from accessing some of their kids medical information once they’re past the age of 12. I don’t think I have to spell out what he doesn’t want kids to be able to hide from their parents. It’s disgusting. There’s always an ulterior motive with this fuck

Agreed, and to add to your point using the words of Rick James… Cocaine is a hell of a drug
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 6 days ago:
Metroid Dread left such an impression on me after playing earlier this year that I bought and modded an OG GBA with a better screen. It was fun and frustrating all at once! My first time soldering since I was a teen. I proceeded to beat Metroid Fusion for the first time despite having the cartridge for probably as long as it had been since my last time soldering. I’m now playing Prime 4, although I’m not yet sure if that qualifies as a highlight.
Besides that, I also got sucked into Hades 2. I didn’t get the true ending to the first game but I did roll credits on this one! What a game. Pokémon Unbound romhack was also on the list of time sinks, but I gotta get back to beating that.

Or just buy whatever smart panel and do the same. Might as well take the subsidy from the smart panel and just leave it off your network

That looks great! My wife is doing similar but she’s put it on hold for the winter. I gently told her she should probably seal the wood before calling it quits but she didn’t listen. Oh well, I’m not dying on that hill!

- Comment on YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers 2 weeks ago:
It’s not that they’re being critical, it’s that someone is being shady with some sort of motive. I don’t want the fediverse to get ruined with narrative attack bs, I want to talk to real humans who aren’t trying to manipulate me. If I was cool with that I’d just go back to Reddit.

You shouldn’t be downvoted, this is yet another account that posts likely for sentiment shaping and immediately deletes their account. This sub is awash with it. I get that there’s a lot to dump on in regards to the US now more than ever but I’d really prefer it be organic posts from people who actually want to engage in the fediverse in good faith rather than whatever the fuck this manipulative bullshit is

Not surprised you skipped other M. I haven’t heard a single good thing about that one
- Comment on Samus Aran drawing I made 3 weeks ago:
I had so much fun with dread earlier this year. It motivated me to buy and mod an original GBA so I could finally beat the copy of Fusion I’ve had since I was a kid. That really got the ball rolling on me finishing as many Metroids as I can ahead of Prime 4. I think I’ve finished 4-5 now. Still haven’t done Super Metroid, which everyone tells me is the best, but I’m a snob and I want to get a Super Nintendo controller to play it with.

Only a couple more weeks until Prime 4!

- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 4 weeks ago:
Yeah his framing is pretty trumpian which is gross even in the (doubtful) event he’s actually right. God forbid journalists do journalism and cover a company which has been caught stealing IP multiple times, and god forbid someone ask someone involved what their take was on the matter. Dumb.
- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 4 weeks ago:
“I understand that you like to stir up controversy, so here you go: the whistleblower, the truth seeker. This is my account, so here’s how I actually feel: you’re wrong and misinformed,” Mielgo replied. “No assets. As far as I know, Bungie accidentally used a texture, mostly typos and fonts, all lost in a wonderful massive creative pipeline.
“All this ass it was genuinely a mistake, blown out of proportion by people like you and hungry sphincter press. Regardless, to your pseudowistle, none of the text/fonts ever reached our team. The Bungie team is fantastic, and the work they did before us was f****ng outstanding. I loved working with them.”
It’s fuckin weird for a creative to act this dismissive towards IP theft, even if it was just one texture. How does one even accidentally steal a texture someone else made?
