Thank you for getting that I didn’t think anyone would
- Comment on James Bond is responsible for many wasted vodka martinis 2 days ago:
That’s because they’re watered down weak martinis. The whole reason you don’t shake a martini and you should stir it is because when you shake it it chips the ice and makes it melt faster. By shaking it he’s making it weaker.
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 2 days ago:
I think everything you quoted there would accurately describe influencers being hey to play a game. As to whether you believe me or not, don’t really care. Why you keep digging this hole for no reason whatsoever seems rather odd to me. Have a good one.

Shill verb
:to act as a spokesperson or promoter
Shill noun
:one who makes a sales pitch or serves as a promoter
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 2 days ago:
Well I’ve certainly never heard that before and that’s not what the definition of the word is from what I’m seeing but I guess I can understand using that as a distinction.
- Comment on How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows 2 days ago:
Isn’t it though? They’re being paid to promote a game right? That seems like a shill to me. I’m not sure I understand the difference to you.

- Comment on Roman numerals could be based on what your hand looks like when you count. 4 days ago:
When you count to 100 you make C shapes with your hand?
- Comment on Dr Strange saw 4 billion possible futures and none of them had Thor lopping off Thanos' head on his first shot 4 days ago:
I don’t know, feel like I’m warming up to the idea lately.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 week ago:
Mount and Blade. Warband is just the better version all around. It works in reverse too cause Warband is better than Bannerlord.
- Comment on How old do you think this dimmer knob is? And how to remove it? 2 weeks ago:
I had to replace one that looked almost exactly like this once and basically I had to just break it in the end.
- Comment on From the trailer of Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014) 3 weeks ago:
How could they know the future of space x so long ago?
- Comment on Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey? 4 weeks ago:
Carry it around? You just find a tree. Nice hollow tree and hide it in there. Everyone knows it’s how you store honey.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah this line of reasoning doesn’t really gel with actual reality considering Trump is now talking about repealing the chip Act. He’s not actually trying to bring back Manufacturing. Trump has never cared about that. He doesn’t give a shit about Outsourcing manufacturing jobs and his boss Elon Musk certainly doesn’t.
- Comment on Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo 4 weeks ago:
What’s the total number of jobs musk and Trump of cut now?
- Comment on Trump says in social media post he plans to pardon the late Pete Rose 4 weeks ago:
Lol
- Comment on Marlow: Musk Thinks Half of Government Is Waste and There’s Proof Backing Him Up 4 weeks ago:
I know I should not expect much from Breitbart, but even I expected them to at least to go into some detail on the claim of there being proof. Just something perfunctory at the very least.
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 5 weeks ago:
Does it though?
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know if tying yourself to a Administration that deregulated to the point that it caused one of the most devastating and massive Financial collapses in American history is really a winning strategy.
- Comment on Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers? 5 weeks ago:
We can quibble about whether or not a second character merits the title lead or not, however it’s still inaccurate to use it as an example of a counter to the raised point. The show’s main lead was a white male character. That’s inarguable.
- Comment on Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers? 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t the dragon Prince’s lead a white guy? I’m almost positive. Also a lot of these are probably too obscure to really raise a stir. I’m kind of shocked even brought up dragon Prince much less the Gundam show you mentioned.
Also your ability to wall yourself off from the Star Wars “controversies” is rather impressive.
- Comment on How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ? 1 month ago:
Typically starts by wiping out the people that had other names for it.
- Comment on Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy? 1 month ago:
I mean I kind of disagree with this. Pokemon games got slower. Not that the first couple were speed demons or anything, but they got progressively slower. Gen 3 is when it started getting noticeable I think as op is mentioning here, Generation 4 was downright excruciating.
- Comment on Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy? 1 month ago:
Biggest tip I have is playing an emulator so you can up the speed. Pokemon games as they progressed got slow. And I don’t mean just the grind I mean like the game play itself like shit took longer. Move took longer to happen. Jesus Christ does HM moves by like the Gen 4 were just excruciatingly slow I had to stop playing. Absolutely emulator double or triple speed helps tremendously.
- Comment on What do you regard as retro? 1 month ago:
I’d say anything before the PlayStation era.
- Comment on I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay? 1 month ago:
It wouldn’t be so sure about getting that refund
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 1 month ago:
To your point though diminishing returns. When is it worth it. You’ve just a conceded that enforcing said laws don’t actually prevent the crime. I would say enforcement never prevents any crime and enforcement is about punishment not prevention. So when is it worth it? What level totalitarianism an authoritarianism is worth it? How much abuse and Injustice is necessary to assuage your fears about the other? Surely you’re not going to sit here and tell me only fear of punishment is what stops you from murdering people?
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 1 month ago:
They’re enforced now but murder still happens.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
To put it very simply and probably too broadly, capitalism. Our whole system is built around taking advantage of people.
- Comment on Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’ 2 months ago:
I mean honestly the Reddit boycott of Twitter might actually be pretty significant if the major sports Subs keep it up.
