- Comment on If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too. 2 days ago:
You can read the constitution of the united states for free. You can also read the constitution of every US state for free (except probably some red states; but I’m just assuming that. ((You can also find that out for yourself for free…)))
Checks and balances are real, they have just been exploited from time immemorial. Go ahead and civil disobedience as much as you want you sweet summer child / foreign agent!

pretty sure I’m team Holo, for she is a wise wolf.
- Comment on Slay The Princess - Official Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
it is really good and I’ve been meaning to do another playthrough since they put out the free update over a year ago. I always laugh when people put up low rent “modern games aren’t good” when there are brilliant indie titles out the wazoo these days.

I use mine every day in sit-mode.

- Comment on The End Of The Hackintosh Is Upon Us 1 month ago:
Uh… didn’t this happen like 7 years ago when they stopped using intel chips? Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 1 month ago:
I spent more time fucking with that thing’s settings than actually playing games. Give me a normal controller every day of the week. Just cause it was niche doesn’t meant it was good.
- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 2 months ago:
I could see this very quickly being shifted to a norm of “we have provided you with an attorney, you do not need to seek additional council, and since there is no need we will not allow it.”
laws are only as good as the rich allow and the most put upon fight against.
- Comment on Oh really? 2 months ago:
I don’t work on the print side of things, but I generally understand that printers will print the sheets on larger sized paper then trim down to the final product, so even if its a spiral bound book, the raw sheets are gonna be on larger sheets regardless, thus the multiples of 4 (two pages for each side of the piece of paper).
- Comment on Oh really? 2 months ago:
its to tell you the page is not accidentally blank. laying out text for a physical document has limitations on the page count and generally needs to be in multiples of 4 due to double-sided printing and paper stock options. if you have a layout that can’t cover the entire surface of your print media but you need to include the entire physical sheet, (especially if its a technical / legal document) its best to just say “there isn’t meant to be anything here, don’t’ worry.” in so many words.
otherwise you get people calling / emailing being like “your form is missing a part! there’s a whole blank sheet when I print it out! >:(“
- Comment on The New York Times Just Published Some Bizarre Race Science About Asian Women 2 months ago:
yall seriously need some media literacy classes. or basic reading comprehension classes.
NYT paraphrased some industry people who posited that Chinese manufacturing benefits from small lady hands. that’s literally just covering a story. they didn’t say “us can’t make stuff because we don’t have little china-fingers and only tiny-china-fingers can make the pocket computers.” they just reported that some unnamed assholes said that.

- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 3 months ago:
But like, the commercial said that making games is just sitting on a couch and pressing a sound board to add that one sound effect in level 3, so like I don’t know why they want money for it.
- Comment on 1955 was as old in 1990 as 1990 is in 2025. 3 months ago:
Almost as if the 50’s were being plagued by the same dumb rich out of touch assholes from the 1920s and it cause some issues for society down the line in the 90s. Turns out 35 years ain’t that long of a time in the grand scheme of things.

- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 3 months ago:
Currently it’s Bellwright, among many other titles. what particularly tickles me about it is the shitty ai voices they used for the npcs. I am not pro ai by any means, but nothing makes me happier than hearing “all in a good days of work.” delivered constantly, in the most off-kilter reading imaginable.
- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 3 months ago:
I would suggest searching Steam for games.
I don’t be leave this is a pension but rather a bot collecting date.
For on the Girly Games that are Pink
And on the Mind Craft and Animalsers Cross.
No combat necessary.
- Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character? 3 months ago:
Play some games and figure out how to make compelling content. Don’t crowdsource key gameplay mechanics for free.
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered - Bugs, Glitches, and Fixes 3 months ago:
One of Bethesda’s greatest loading screen simulators of all time, maybe even better than Starfield.

the internet would fall silent.
- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 4 months ago:
Just musing on the fact that Bethesda doesn’t care about making games and instead just cashes in on nostalgia. I also think their finance bros realized their upcoming big IP drop is going to be an objective POS and wanted to prime people’s expectations by re-releasing a 20 year old game with some lipstick on it.
It would be neat if they hired some people who actually had innovative ideas about gameplay, visuals and stories to maybe make a neat new game within an existing or new IP, but they haven’t done that in literal decades so I think its pretty reasonable to not be incredibly excited about anything they are putting out or planning to put out in the future.
- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' funeral 4 months ago:
Me hearing about Trump.
Hope he meets a violent end soon. Hope this country gets some competent leaders soon too. That criminal and his associates deserve the worst form of justice.
This situation we are in is the culmination of Capitalism and two nearly identical parties driving the United States for the past 2XX years.
