Fuck EA.

I would never trust anything Kennedy said.
- Comment on Robot vacuum cleaners are being hacked to spy on your family, chase pets, hurl verbal abuse, and the makers claim users 'do not need to worry excessively about this' 4 weeks ago:
My Roomba only turns on when I press the button. Granted it can have wifi access but I work from home and never set that up. All it can do is translate error codes and I can Google those.
It’s my fourth Roomba in 20 years. Not bad as I’m someone who never vacuums otherwise.

- Comment on Row erupts over Farage constituency surgeries after he told LBC the public ‘will flow through door with knives' 1 month ago:
Yup, thank you again. I’d gathered from the article that it was likely a sort of political consultation but even looking in a dictionary didn’t exactly clear it up.

Thank you!

I’m a dumb American who has never seen the word surgeries used in this context. Can someone explain?
- Comment on Andrew Greenberg, co-creator of the classic RPG Wizardry, has passed away 2 months ago:
My first CRPG, only behind D&D.
My dad ran a campaign for our family when I was seven or so. Original D&D, not even advanced. It didn’t last terribly long but left a lifelong impression.
- Comment on Steam Suffers Major DDoS Attack During Launch of “Black Myth: Wukong” 2 months ago:
Probably Epic. It’s one of the times Steam is at peak usage and sabotaging a big Steam launch would ‘work well’ for them.
Of course trying to sabotage and failing makes Steam look better, which is why Epic continues to flounder.
- Comment on Worms Armageddon Anniversary Edition: A Retro Revival | Retro Gaming News 24/7 2 months ago:
My buddies and I would play on the Playstation and I got very very good at ninja roping across the map to drop dynamite on someone’s head and swing back to safety in time.
Nothing more I loved than that maneuver, except maybe getting a concrete donkey.
- Comment on Atari announces the 7800 Plus console coming this winter 2 months ago:
As another commenter pointed out, I was thinking of the 5200. But yeah, I was also doubtful.
- Comment on Atari announces the 7800 Plus console coming this winter 2 months ago:
Ah, you’re right! Brain failure. Thank you.
- Comment on Atari announces the 7800 Plus console coming this winter 2 months ago:
The 7800 had a controller with a keypad used for many games.
Is that gone entirely?
Who am I kidding, I wouldn’t have bought one anyway, but it was my first console.

Captain America: Battlemaster Fighter
Black Widow: Assassin Rogue
Iron Man: Armorer Artificer, as others said
Hulk: Path of the Giant Barbarian

- Comment on Drunken woman defecated on police officer who tried to put her in handcuffs 2 months ago:
That’s not the typical application of the poophole loophole, but I approve of it.
- Comment on Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was Disney+ Subscriber 2 months ago:
I can’t see any way that they win this case on the merits of the argument.
But if I’m wrong and they win, a whole lot of lawsuits are gonna disappear. That’s a terrible precedent to set.
- Comment on Disney Seeking Dismissal of Raglan Road Death Lawsuit Because Victim Was Disney+ Subscriber 2 months ago:
I wonder if they have some longer term strategy here because this story is far too damaging over a 50k payout.
Like maybe they make an insane argument to undermine arbitration clauses so they can win elsewhere.
Because this is a maliciously bad look for Disney. Nobody should ever have to think about streaming contracts while deciding where to eat.
Carve the Mouse! Break it up!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
You have no idea how happy and relieved I was when I saw the term “brain shocks”.
I wasn’t insane, I wasn’t the only one, and it’s a normal thing.
Now what’s really weird is that I had them at a young age when I don’t think I was on any medication. Certainly in the days before Prozac and the like. And I can’t recall when they stopped.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
When I had them (on wellbutrin) they weren’t withdrawal symptoms and could happen at almost any time of day.
It’d present when I’d get up or turn my head. I’d feel/hear a high pitched zing sound and my vision would stutter a little. Very disconcerting, especially when driving, carrying heavy items, or using sharp objects.
Went away when I switched meds.
- Comment on Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? 4 months ago:
You can always also get a cheaper sentimental ring and go out ring shopping together for the official one.
That way you keep the surprise and she gets the ring she wants, plus another ring and a nice memory.
- Comment on This is going to set back medical trust for years 4 months ago:
Doctors tend to not take that oath any longer. Too much of what they do constitutes ‘doing harm’, seriously.
- Comment on What if as I get older, like a Mandela effect, everyone's understanding of what the average life span is increases? 5 months ago:
Maybe you’re thinking of something along the lines of Bishop Berkeley’s Theory of Immaterialism.
Essentially, things only exist and continue to exist because we agree that they do and expect them to remain that way.
Also featured in the children’s book Mr. Radagast Makes an Unexpected Journey, which I adored when I was younger.
- Comment on Not only is this not how anyone writes, I do not understand why anyone would want to read anything that sounds anything like this 5 months ago:
It’s gotta be exhausting to work in a workplace, warehouse, or factory, not knowing which it will be day to day! At least they arrive knowing the random workplace is ventilated!
- Comment on Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams 5 months ago:
Antitrust? Pff.
How about crimes against humanity?
- Comment on Deepfakes of your dead loved ones are a booming Chinese business 6 months ago:
That’s more than a bit rude.
He’s saying he likes the people despite their government. He admires parts of their spirit and drive to remember their loved ones.
We can learn even from those we may consider our adversaries.
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 6 months ago:
Yes! Thank you!
Does it hurt that women feel that way? Of course it does, so let’s work to be better so that random people can trust each other!
Angrily lashing out at the women who are pondering the benefits of a bear isn’t gonna help.
Be someone a woman would feel safe to be around. Call it out when those around you fail that test.
Create that safer environment. It isn’t impossible.
- Comment on Telcos keep using “insecure” Chinese gear because of congressional inaction 6 months ago:
So they don’t give a fuck about security. Telcos print money and can afford it. Mandate they do so.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
That isn’t the type of behavior that I think most find annoying but I’m sorry that you get that reaction at all.
I think many people are so annoyed with feeling they are attacked for eating meat (and I do eat meat) that when that button gets pressed the anger just rises up.
For me I get a little true guilt. I know I’m not helping in the best possible ways that I can, all the time. I’m not perfect and won’t ever pretend that I am, and I also haven’t given up on getting better. When I go a day without eating meat, I congratulate myself. With a burger. (No, not really.)
- Comment on Everyone has already died and has died multiple times 6 months ago:
Petite mort, translated from French, means “little death”, and is generally used as a euphemism for orgasm.
Some of us have died… a lot.
