- Comment on why are they pushing kpop demon hunters so badly? Who makes money off this new group? 1 week ago:
Because it’s a popular movie with a catchy soundtrack that has a Grammy nominated song that was number one on the Billboard Top 100? It’s not like they’re pushing an obscure art film released solely for a run at an Oscar.
Sony makes the money. Just like they did with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and countless other products of Sony Animation.

It is because she came or he didn’t?
(Yes that is a total cheap shot, but I couldn’t resist. If it’s their spouse now or something I’m going to feel bad.)

Amazing the different gaming experiences in the 90s. Of this list, I’ve only played 4 and heard of like 6. Pretty fun dive down the rabbit hole. 90s gaming was a wild time. Thanks for sharing!

Oooh — the spicy sauce is intriguing. Love some good heat. Maybe next year I should bring some hot sauce with me to throw in. :D
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 1 week ago:
I’d rather buy a game on Steam than get it for free from Epic. Seriously.
I claimed the first few games and their launcher was shit. Now, to be fair, Steam wasn’t exactly a pinnacle of achievement when it first came out, either, but it’s been refined and honed to a razor. Epic is just “let’s throw shit at the wall and see what happens”, with no coherent strategy or marketing beyond “we’re not Steam!”. Their client, as I understand it, is still shit, and their CEO is a jackass. Haven’t had it installed in years now. Meanwhile, I have a backlog on Steam of like 1000 games.
Why would I ever use Epic? It has no value.
And yes, that goes for games sold on Steam with the “have to use Origin” bullshit, too. I’m not launching Steam to then launch Origin. This is not Inception. Let me play my damn game and stay out of it. Ya know?
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 1 week ago:
If you intended it as a joke, can you please add a /s or something to indicate it is a joke, when it’s not obvious? It does not read as a joke to me, but as a serious comment. It can be difficult to understand the author’s intended tone by just reading text.
Thank you!
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 1 week ago:
There’s nothing wrong with buying something if you feel it is a good value, especially if you plan to keep it in the long term.
Much better than stealing from our public services.
- Comment on Perfect size for brats 1 week ago:
There’s a food vendor called Wunder Wurst at a fall festival I attend, and they serve their brats like this with cheese sauce. It’s really good.
Not sure I’d want to go to all the trouble with making it at home, though. Regular cut buns work just fine for me.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I’m still holding to it, but I agree, it’s getting harder and harder to find stuff on sale for less than $5. Especially if you’ve been on Steam for a long time and have a large library already.

Obligatory “Fuck Spez” comment here
- Comment on I've heard New Yorkers are devastated 3 weeks ago:
Had to be, otherwise it’d be a “we’re not back in’ down for no commies!” news release.
- Comment on eleven 3 weeks ago:
Have a family member born on 08/08/08. Easy to remember that one.

- Comment on US to limit refugees to record low 7,500, mostly white South Africans 5 weeks ago:
At least they’re not hiding the white supremacy angle anymore, though that’s little consolation to the people that have the greatest need for this pathway.
- Comment on Israeli drone strike kills two people in Gaza in ceasefire breach 1 month ago:
Israel? Breaking agreements and doing whatever they want anyway? Sounds about right.
Fuck Israel. Bullies need to get punched in the face. Hard.

Marshmallow and artificial preservatives.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 2 months ago:
Good thing I never signed up for one.
Any Steam game that requires an EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, whatever account is a total non-starter for me. I’ve looked at some of the newer Battlefields when they’re on sale for like $2 and I still can’t be convinced. Likely never will.
Ok with me, there’s lots of other publishers out there, both independents and studios, that I’d much rather give my $2 to.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I will say, just talking cost, if you are able, they sell GamePass gift cards at Costco and occasionally do deals. I got 6 months of Ultimate for $90 last time.
I still think the pricing change is dumb and I’m unlikely to renew.

- Comment on What do ambulances do with patients cars? 2 months ago:
They leave it and the cops who also respond to the emergency call take care of it.
Either a family member or friend comes and gets it, or it is towed.
- Comment on I get texting and driving being a danger. But back in my day you could eat drink change radio stations etc. Why weren't laws implemented back then? 2 months ago:
Because for the most part, you can do all those things with only removing your eyes from the road for a few seconds, if at all. You’re still focused mostly on driving.
When using your phone, you’re not paying attention at all to the road, and looking away for far longer. That’s the danger.

Buy a Steam Deck and get into Skyrim or something?

- Comment on Good racing games on Steam? 4 months ago:
If you’ve got a wheel and pedals, F1 2019 is pretty fun and doesn’t have a lot of the forced online hoops you need to jump through for later editions like 2024.
- Comment on Life is letting go 4 months ago:
Yes?
Rage against the dying of the light, always. But sooner or later the end will come for us all, and that’s the part that’s the hardest to accept on an individual level, in my opinion. I still get the occasional existential crisis.
Instead, be glad that you’re here now and do what you can to make the world better for yourself, your neighbors, and society as a whole while you are. That’s all any of us can hope to do. Leave it a little nicer than we found it.
- Comment on does this actually imply alcoholism or just snark? 4 months ago:
Every Robin Hood variant that I know of does this, for example, with the Friar Tuck character.
