- Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public. 5 days ago:
Their wealth means nothing to them if they can’t use it as influence. It’s all they truly care about.
That influence will end with their heads rolling.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2's stunning new statue somehow makes Sam look even more realisitic than he does in the game 5 days ago:
Is it just me or is it a bit disingenuous to call a 1/6 scale action figure a statue?
- Comment on Day 370 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
I slept on the dead rising series until the remake came out. Then I picked up the original, 2, and off the record.
All of them are fantastic games and it’s such a shame they killed the whole series with the 3rd game.

- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 3 weeks ago:
You’re right. But the payment card is definitely dystopian and designed to maximize fees from the users for every aspect. It should be required by law that these businesses give alternative options for receiving payments, or remove any sort of fees.
- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 4 weeks ago:
Because a good lawyer looks for any sort of far reaching authority they can legally get away with, and will continues to push boundaries as legally far as they can until they get challenged. All in the name of protecting themselves from liability.
I don’t like it, but I get it. And these things can fall apart when challenged in court or public opinion.
Makes me think of the guy who died from an allergy at Disney land and Disney tried to say he couldn’t sue because of his Disney plus agreement.
Lawyers put in all kinds of legal clauses specifically to try and avoid any and all liability on anything imaginable or unimaginable. Most times it’s beyond what anyone would call reasonable. But we aren’t dealing with reasonable people.

Yep I believe that’s what this is. I’ve seen clauses like this in other stuff too. Pretty boiler plate. Not like they can actually enforce it.

- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 2 months ago:
With how chatGPT has been glazing people lately, this isn’t at all shocking, and it’ll probably get significantly worse because we’re not even attempting to regulate anything. ChatGPT just wants to maximize usage of it’s app, and if it needs to tell you you’re a Messiah to do that, it will tell it to you repeatedly.
