Glitchy things and video games. What even is anything anymore?
- Comment on I wrote this song after having sex with your mom. Ask me anything. 8 months ago:
I feel like they called themselves Godzilla but had to change it so they decided on Gojira. They have some heavy environmentalist themes to their lyrics so, makes sense.
- Comment on Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing 8 months ago:
I think it’s less the network’s fault, and more on where someone chooses to spend their time on the network. If you’re on Facebook, it is in their interest to piss you off so you stay and fight. But plenty of other tools exist to connect folks online without being manipulative.
It’s like fire, nuclear energy, or most any other tool. Use it right and everyone benefits, use it wrong and people get hurt.

When I was younger I wasn’t sad because I was online, I was online because I was sad and felt out of place in reality.
The cough isn’t the cause of the cold, it’s a symptom.
Also, I gained more empathy the older I got. So you probably need a bigger data set than your own experiences.
- Comment on Disco Elysium standalone expansion reportedly cancelled and quarter of staff facing redundancy at ZA/UM 8 months ago:
Yeah, this seems like the business equivalent of a slap in the face to the original devs.

“These ‘CAT’ cables, they aren’t made out of real cat right?”
- Comment on Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. 9 months ago:
I think you’re missing the point.
When someone is outwardly hateful toward others for things outside of their control (race, gender, ability), that’s generally viewed as intolerance.
Tolerance, is me recognizing you have the right to believe whatever you want, and letting you do so, as long as you’re not obstructing anyone else’s right to do the same.
The paradox is basically saying a negative reaction to a hateful behavior, is not itself hateful. Identity politics doesn’t agree, and makes those who identify as hateful (knowingly or not), feel hated.
Violence is a further escalation of things that the concept of tolerance inherently tries to avoid.

Can you provide any examples of this? Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.
- Comment on Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. 9 months ago:
If you tolerate intolerance, intolerance will rule. It’s literally a paradox by definition.
- Comment on Helldivers II Review Thread 9 months ago:
Most devs have expressed they’d rather you pirate than use key sites. With the anti-cheat they used that maybe difficult, but a key site purchase usually doesn’t pay the developer a dime. Where if you hadn’t entered a key, you could still purchase the game, even on sale, and support the developers.
- Comment on Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. 9 months ago:
The “left identity” is wanting everyone to have healthcare and education to struggle less. The “right identity” is quite loudly screaming about hurting the people they don’t like.
“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.”
- Comment on One of capitalisms biggest tragedies 9 months ago:
Idk, I’ve never made enough money to live on and at this point never expect to. I’d rather do something I’m passionate about while I die under capitalism, than sit here feeling useless while I die under capitalism. Shit is depressing and unsustainable.
- Comment on Mozilla CEO quits, org pivots, but what about Firefox? 9 months ago:
Never even heard of The Register before right now. Been using Firefox for most of my life. This checks out.
- Comment on Sudo is coming to Windows 11 9 months ago:
They are tired of right clicking Command Prompt to “Run as Administrator”. They’ve been doing it for decades, they can have one tiny piece of QoL improvement.
- Comment on What is "feddit", really? 9 months ago:
I’ve always read it as a mix of “Federated Reddit” and “Fed up with Reddit”.
- Comment on Poignant post on the state of things 9 months ago:
Survival? I’m just waiting to die. I can’t afford to live and the world just keeps getting worse. Oh, and the clusterfuck of conditions I’d be passing on? Not something worth cursing another human with.
- Comment on Legends of Runeterra 2024 - State of the Game FAQ 9 months ago:
Riot: “This Q&A will help regain player trust.”
Also Riot: “You get a rootkit, you get a rootkit! Rootkits for everyone!”

“One day my log will have something to say about this.”
- Comment on League of Legends likely unplayable on Linux / Steam Deck soon due to Vanguard anti-cheat 10 months ago:
The Steam Deck should be a call to action for devs to support Linux, not the other way around. Good thing I don’t play League of Legends or have any interest in Riot games. I can now tune them out the same way I would ignore macOS exclusive software. Neat!

One Nazi sends a newsletter to nine people who don’t delete it, ten Nazis are in the email chain.
- Comment on Nintendo Hints It Will Continue Extensive Switch Support, Even After New-Gen Hardware Release 1 year ago:
What support? I’m still over here waiting on themes and game organization, or better yet an eShop that can utilize more than 1/10th of my bandwidth.
- Comment on Microsoft now thirstily injects a poll when you download Google Chrome 1 year ago:
That’s what Gamepass is for, keeping you on Microsofts playground. You aren’t installing PC games, they essentially provide you with Xbox games and an “emulator” that runs them. It won’t be fixed because it heards folks to Windows, as intended.
- Comment on Microsoft’s CEO say it’s ‘doubling down’ on being a game producer and publisher | VGC 1 year ago:
Was Kickstarted for all consoles, they ran out of money, Microsoft bought them and left everything as-is, just gave more money. Go watch the interview about it.
- Comment on Microsoft’s CEO say it’s ‘doubling down’ on being a game producer and publisher | VGC 1 year ago:
Literally watched an interview with Tim Schafer, they ran out of Kickstarter money and Microsofr saved the day. Look it up before calling me out please.
- Comment on Microsoft’s CEO say it’s ‘doubling down’ on being a game producer and publisher | VGC 1 year ago:
Psychonauts 2 happened because Microsoft bought Double Fine and said, “How much time/money do you need to finish your game?” And basically gave it to them.

Two Steps From Hell also deserves a shout out for their trailer scores.
