  Yeah so this comment makes it pretty clear you don’t understand what his job is.

  All they have to do is disable games with mtx in the countries that ban it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fed chair Powell says targeted by federal probe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Powell is a reason the economy isn’t completely fucked. He’s been one of the only people consistently putting the country first and saying no to Trump’s demands.

  He’s no saint but he’s not a clown. This is not a cause for celebration

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good question. At the very least, steam will cloud sync it regardless of where it’s at on the drive so that’s an option

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be even more work IMO

  Unless they want to separate their non-game files, too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey have you tried Steam Family or whatever it’s called? You can make a new user and they have access to all of your game library. Only one account would be able to play at a time but it would solve your save file dilemma - games files are in the common folder but save files are in the user folder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you link these without reading them…?

  1. That Pew Research article goes against that narrative in a lot of ways

  2. The second link discusses how claiming 80% is misleading with statistics

  3. The third is an Israeli publication. I’ll admit I didn’t bother finishing this one because I don’t believe it to be unbiased

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard this claim but I’ve also heard it ripped apart as being misleading. And I’ve never seen the actual poll it’s based on, do you have that handy?

  It predates 2023 and up until that point, “Zionism” meant “Israel is the holy land” to a lot of people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK there is an intense Zionist propaganda campaign ongoing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The greatest enemy of Jews worldwide right now is the Israeli government. What the fuck, man? It’s like they’re trying to get American Jews killed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the article, the actual performance is on par with a GTX 660 Ti

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like it’s about equivalent to Intel’s latest GPU. Both are running about a little over a generation behind AMD and Nvidia.

  Sounds like it’s more than “a little over one generation behind” if it benchmarks near an Nvidia card released 14 years ago??

  Nice TC. I heard they’re prone to root rot but I haven’t had any problems yet…though it did come in a pot with ALL potting soil so I assume people just aren’t compensating for that and over watering.

  Looks like yours didn’t come with perlite or orchid bark either so be aware!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely will, I liked the last one! I just wanted to clear up what the scandal was - it wasn’t something anyone could think creators should have seen coming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another thing even the most cynical person can easily see is extortion!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know we’re all jaded nerds on this corner of the internet that are well aware of “if you’re not paying, etc. etc.”

  Haven’t watched this video but IIRC the real scandal was that the extension would change the cookie to identify Honey as your referrer so the content creators whose referral you actually used didn’t get paid. No matter how jaded you are, you can see that as the theft it is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Revolution Will Not Make the Hacker News Front Page⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hackernews is a VC-funded website for techbros who want to feel like they’re cool and smarty hackers. It has an even higher percentage of know-it-alls than reddit. MBAs who got into it for the money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok you seem like an expert on this so I’ll just trust you that there is not an aspect of popular male culture that makes many men lonely. It’s just social media incels.

  The average adult man definitely socializes just as much as the average man. You’ve found that old guys have as many friends as old women in your research, right? There haven’t been studies about this going back decades or anything - it’s all incels on social media. My bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re conflating things here. Terminally-online incels are often racist, would you say racism is nothing but a construct of the incel social media?

  I do agree that it gets weaponized by grifters and misinterpreted by many more but you are contributing to the problem by acting like it’s an idea spawned from bitter dudes online or that it’s an idea inseparable from misogyny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically, dismissing it as just an incel thing is EXACTLY the problem. It’s not about women at all, it’s about friendship. And the social norm predates the internet, social media just exacerbated it (and for many women, too)

  It can be hard for guys to make friends when they’ve lived their whole life in a “just man up” environment. I didn’t grow up in one of those and I still struggle to be vulnerable around my friends. I’m not an incel, it was just never taught to me so I had to figure it out myself.

  The point of talking about the male loneliness epidemic is not to complain but to retire that type of male culture. Encourage men to be there for each other, put themselves out there, meet people and make friends.

  I loved firmware modding on pre-smart phones! My first eBay purchase ever (with the help of my parents) was a USB cable for the ridiculously large port on my flip phone. I blew my friends’ minds with my custom text on the front panel

  Read what he posted. He said the series is against sexual misconduct which is what I’m “debunking”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Like A Dragon Series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms

  This is why I commented

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you read what he wrote…? He claims hiring this guy goes against the messaging in the games. The messaging in the last game included “rape is comedic topic when it happens to a man”

  Of course it’s different to actual assault but it’s pretty sick that you’re defending it as an acceptable form of humor.
