I’m not talking about this particular article, I’m talking about the sentiment of wanting to shut off the conversation about those topics you mentioned. Like I said, do what you have to do and take care of your own mental health. I assume that if you were only talking about reposting of this article you’d not have mentioned your whole list of topics.

Yes, please just hide these. We ignoring these issues at large is how we got to where we’re at and it’ll continue getting worse if we just stop talking about it. But you need to do what you can to take of yourself, first and foremost.

I agree with your sentiment, but this needs to keep being said and said and said like we’re shouting into the void until the ignorant masses finally hear it.

Lol fair. Trust me, I know enough about being a fanboy myself for games I felt deserved better ratings. Again, no problem with them at all, I’ve loved a handful of their games, like Grounded. Haven’t played 2 yet, but my previous friend group had some fallout last year so I’ll have to see who I’m playing that with.

I’m not saying they’re unable to. Are you purposely trying to miss the point? Crushing a lithium battery is a bad fucking idea. Explosively bad fucking idea. What I’m trying to tell you is that yes they can push them out of the way, but literally ramming them should not be done. Which is what I’ve been saying the entire time. A fire engine has the ability to push these cars from idle with zero effort and would be less likely to damage the batteries. But that’s not what the OP of this thread was saying, they said they’d like to go demolition derby, which would be to hit these things at speed.
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 3 days ago:
Are they really underrated? Not throwing any shade, but every time I see them mentioned it’s because people are praising the hell out of them. I also agree that there’s very few games they’ve had their hands on that has been less than stellar, so I have a hard time saying they’re actually underrated. They’ve been pretty steadily a mark of excellence.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 days ago:
Afaik, no they haven’t. Everything I’ve seen said they’re on lithium.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 days ago:
Lol this is a “can/should” argument here. Just because they CAN ram the car doesn’t mean they should. Crushing damage to batteries in EVs can be insanely costly. I wasn’t exaggerating by the 10x-30x needed water for extinguishing an EV vs ICE.

No, objectively right. You can quantify the overall appeal very easily. It was the top user-rated game on MetaCritic EVER, had critical acclaim, obviously won many awards despite this AI debacle in the IGAs, sold over 5 million copies already even though it was on GamePass, and has maintained a fan gathering all these many months later even before they won at the TGAs.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 days ago:
Yeah, “push” rather than ram. Lithium fires take 10-30x more water than a conventional fire, something that firefighters are wary of containing.

- The soundtrack is just pure art. There’s more variety in this than most games, across many genres, and is over 8 hours long in total. Lorien Testard is a genius and we need more of his work in gaming beyond this game and even beyond Sandfall. Also Alice Duport-Percier (the female vocalist) has true perfect pitch, is an opera singer, and has beautiful diction despite my not knowing French.
- The story is very fresh, unpredictable (though I’ve seen people take wild stabs at it while playing and getting somewhat close but still missing), and isn’t written in the cliche ways that we’re used to because the lead writer, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, has never worked in the gaming industry, nor ever published a piece of writing before. She writes primarily for her own entertainment and as an outlet, and is brilliant in her own right outside of writing. Also her work in writing believable dialog made things feel more authentic, especially when characters argue. It just flows well.
- The voice acting is top-notch. The fact Kepler was able to throw money at this game specifically for the voice cast because they believed in it, says a lot. Sandfall didn’t ask for this money, but Kepler knew they had to help out however they could.
- The gameplay is what I’m guessing is what you dislike the most, as that’s normally what those who don’t like it talk about. Very subjective, but for those of us who love turned-based games or who are into tight combat found in Souls-likes (I’m in the former, but now looking at the latter), it keeps people engaged. I’ve played thousands and thousands of hours playing turn-based games, but this one doesn’t just let you passively fight until you’ve made significant progress and learn the timings. The countering feels powerful, and if you really want you can completely break the balance if you want and are creative in your setup. And now that they added the ability to make things more difficult, even the pros have a challenge to come back to.
I’m not trying to pressure you into giving it another shot, but those 4 things are enough to land this game into my top 3 all-time games.

Lol you made your account 1h ago to just ragebait? Nicely done.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 3 days ago:
Their use of AI to make placeholder assets (which aren’t in the released game) is why it felt off? While it’s not for everyone, it’s still objectively one of the best games released recently.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 3 days ago:
They’d probably love to, but wouldn’t. Lithium fires could make a bigger problem than slowly going around them.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 4 days ago:
Yeah despite it being one of my favorite games (not just of this year), full disclosure is important. Losing that award doesn’t make the game any worse or take away my enjoyment of it.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 5 days ago:
Yeah the web site vulnerability is likely no good for you, it was patched quite a while back, but methods like dejavuln are very easy to use, just need a USB drive and run the fake mp3 in the LG media player app.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 5 days ago:
Yeah you won’t get any new features from this, it’s just something to hold onto in case you have a need to upgrade the firmware in the future. It’s the same website, but now they’ve expanded it to show other methods unlike what they had a few years back.
dejavuln is actually pretty interesting, plays a fake mp3 that’s actually a script talking advantage of a buffer overflow (I think) in the LG media player app.
- Comment on LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems 6 days ago:
Yeah that method doesn’t work on newer firmware, but luckily there are newer methods (like dejavuln), and they keep things up to date on available methods and possible versions at cani.rootmy.tv

- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 2 weeks ago:
That’s why I use Emby. Paid for lifetime within a day of switch from Plex (which I also have has lifetime for like a decade) because it has a ton of plugins that have been useful and has a cloud server switch function.

Lol yeah I still have old adventure games on floppy and CD from like 95. Obviously don’t have a floppy drive anymore nor an optical drive in over a decade.

The first example I ever have seen and my favorite was that Day of the Tentacle had a computer that would allow you to play the entire first game, Maniac Mansion.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 3 weeks ago:
At this point you’re just figuring semantics. Even a commercial NAS is reliant on the software too, like with Synology. They run the disk management but also can run Docker and VMs with their built-in hypervisor.

She was being flirty with him while not just on the job but also in a relationship, and for some that’s enough for them to feel guilty. Yes, at this point Robert didn’t know about the relationship at this point, but from his POV he’d still read that guilt for what he saw might have been a signal he missed.
- Comment on The Turbulent, Seven-Year Saga Behind Hit Game ‘Dispatch’ 5 weeks ago:
Interesting that you felt the game assumed you made choices you didn’t, I hadn’t ran into that despite very frequently picking the less popular options. I won’t ask for specifics for obvious reasons, but that does make me curious whether there was a bug or a gap in logic. Definitely not a flawless game as gamepad is a very flawed input option when things get hectic, but damn the writing and action sequences had me hooked immediately.
Still can’t believe my first time through was only 7.5 hours. Can’t wait to go through with different choices.
- Comment on Why Trump hijacked the .gov domain 1 month ago:
Can confirm what the other commenter said, completely impossible to have an effect. .com and .gov and .fr and .nz are what’s called TLDs or Top Level Domains. Everything is delegated down from that level for any subdomains. .fr and .nz are country owned and any attempt to take control of that would be returned to their respective governments by ICANN.
