This reminds me of a time when i used to subscribe to Hydro Homies and there was always someone in the comments tryna hawk a Berkey water filter.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
meh, its still not inconvenient enough to pay 10+ dollars a month. The state of adverts online is so egregious that I would probably sooner stop watching Youtube than pay or put up with ads.

The solution is multi-factorial and will take a generation to implement. Expand the social safety net, expand public education to encompass critical thinking skills and researching skills, restrict private media monopolies that hold public consciousness in a deathgrip.

If downvotes aren’t gatekeeping, then neither is saying Dark Souls is perfect the way it is and doesn’t need to be changed. Ultimately, I think we’re all picking a side on this one, and dont want to hear what the other has to say. Voting me down is your way of saying “I don’t want to see this kind of thing.” It can’t be hand-waved away as simple disagreement. There is an echo chamber at work here, it is somewhat nasty and honestly disheartening. Like when I make a joke about Miyazaki not wanting this (it is a joke after all) and everyone piles on the dislike; that’s the community trying to send me a message. And yes, I know that calling out downvoters makes them pile on more; I am proud to spit in ya’lls face. The discourse around difficulty is toxic on both sides and I hate it. Can’t even make a joke without bringing out the Defenders of the Casual or whatever. Vote me down some more, its exactly what I expect.
Sometimes difficulty is inextricable from the art, and Dark Souls is a good example of that. When people say they want it easier they are missing the message. You SHOULD have to struggle to get what you want, you SHOULD have to pay attention to the game you’re playing instead of mindlessly hacking your way through only to forget bout it days later. If a game punishes impatience and hubris, you will be more immersed in an oppressive world, you will feel like a small part of a larger tragedy that transcends your typical hero fantasy. These are the things that make the game special, and Miyazaki and his team knew what they were doing. You are spitting on their vision and their talent when you say it should be different. Lies of P… I haven’t played it, and the devs can do whatever they feel is right to make the game they want to make.
But you know, Starry Night is fine and all but its too dark and depressing. They should put some more yellow in there, really make it more accessible to the masses.

- Comment on Nice place to shop but sometimes gets sticky 1 month ago:
Chinese restaurant; its common round my area for chinese places to put a 1 in the title. Like “No. 1 Chinese Kitchen” which we lovingly call “No One Chinese Kitchen”
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 1 month ago:
2060 super for 300, and then another 200 for a decent processor puts you ahead of a ps5 and for a comparable price. Games are cheaper on PC too, as well as a broader selection.

Must have been a DEI hire, Trump is too woke to lead an effective military. Impeach now!
- Comment on Trine Was a Masterpiece. Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember? 1 month ago:
Games move at the speed of light, so theres always a shiny new toy to draw focus away from even great games of the past.
I played Trine when it came out but I never felt a strong pull to stay with it. It seemed neat, like a Lost Vikings successor, but ultimately I had other things that I liked more.

Bro the quote is from a nazi car OWNER not the critics, the OWNER of nazi car is doing the projecting. You clearly dont understand that even after multiple people have pointed it out and thats why youre getting flamed. Lick your wounds and move on.

- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 4 months ago:
So I put in a week for around christmas, 30 days prior. My boss comes to me 2 weeks later and says “actually we have to do inventory that week so we need you to stay.” I asked, why dont we do it this week instead and was told essentially “this is when management needs it done” so I said cool do it without me. Came back from vacation, never got in trouble and actually got offered a raise like 1 month later lol. Place was fucking toxic tho so I left.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 5 months ago:
The line will infinitely approach 0 but never get there. That is what credit is for. The rich will gladly let you borrow their vast wealth to buy the cars and the homes, and in exchange you will be their indentured servant for life. Win Win, economy go brrrrrrr…
- Comment on it's just a suggestion 6 months ago:
If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.
