Listen to how they talk about Ukrainians
Oh, they wouldn’t happen to be calling them orks now, would they? That would be terrible.
Judging an ethnic group by their non-democratic government is prejudice, you are prejudiced. Now please continue to justify your racism like everyone else before you.

- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 3 weeks ago:
No, remember, it only makes sense if you are consumer-brained
Less live service games = less consooming. Some people literally don’t care about things that are in their best interest, they will happily pay $120 for a game that has pay2win microtransactions and requires a monthly subscription and will also shutdown after 18 months, as long as there is a new one to buy after it.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 3 weeks ago:
It makes sense if you are completely consumer-brained and only see it as “companies will make less (live service) games if they are forced to support them/let them be community supported”
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 3 weeks ago:
No, there was definitely some criticism before. Prior to this month, it wouldn’t be unusual to hear people complain about how it would destroy the live service market and was therefore Bad Actually for games and game preservation
The topic getting much more mainstream just brought all those people with.
- Comment on kingdom come 3 weeks ago:
Tomatoes and fruits are a great litmus test (no pun intended) to see if a person can recognize the domain of their knowledge. Some people glomp onto a fact that is correct in some scenarios and use it as an “umm actually” where it isn’t appropriate or even correct (like the definition of racism)
- Comment on kingdom come 3 weeks ago:
Actually, “mushrooms are technically meat” is a new hill I’d like to die on. Mushrooms have animal cells, ergo, definitely not a vegetable.

- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 1 month ago:
it gets the same label as a game pumped out of Grok and uploaded untouched
speaking about hypothetical events as if they were real is unhinged
- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 1 month ago:
even if I accept your premise of a “brainwashed NeoLuddite mob,” you’re still wrong on the simple principle of arguing against a company properly labeling what their product is or how it was made.

Nice strawman Dorothy
- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 1 month ago:
A substantial part of the market not wanting AI in their products is actually a great reason for them to disclose when it is or isn’t used

Nah fuck the shareholders, if they do something we depend on and pay for it with tax dollars then we should own them.

okay so since this is the science memes community, did I choose the right foodborne illness or was there a better punchline than listeria?

That’s not disagreeing then: “It’s not a stunt if it’s a good thing”
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 3 months ago:
I disagree. Of course it’s a PR stunt
If you disagree, then why do you call it a stunt?

I’ve been boycotting CS2 (née CSGO) since November 2019 when they introduced Fortnite skins with annoying voices that you couldn’t turn off or disable.
I don’t think it has worked but I’m definitely never playing another Valve multiplayer game, they always turn out the same way.

I just picked up Drumshanbo with California Oranges and it is positively delicious, very strong nose without a strong taste, great for sipping or mixing.

there’s nothing inherently wrong with fucking a woman
Yet it isn’t an insult for some reason, I wonder why?

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov, 1980
at least that long

oedipal
and funny how your mind goes straight to homophobia or misogyny, when there are other interpretations for cocksucker
oh you’re trolling, good day
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 months ago:
Exactly, pussyfucker isn’t an insult because traditionally there was nothing wrong with fucking pussy, but calling someone a cocksucker is implying they’re either gay or a woman
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 months ago:
Okay but like, in regular penis-in-vagina sex, the man is (theoretically) giving pleasure to the woman while also doing all the work. Is that still power play? Is pussyfucker the same as cocksucker?
