- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 6 days ago:
This is a more complex question than just “what is your favorite video game,” or “what games do you consider works of art?”
If I’m putting a game in a museum, it’s because there’s something about it that warrants preservation on a greater level than other games. To that end, my candidates are
- Pong (1972)
The first commercially successful video game.
- Tetris (1985)
Arguably the most influential game of all time
- Rollercoaster Tycoon (1999)
Handcrafted in assembly, serves as a lesson both in optimization and harnessing the players’ penchant for finding intrinsic value in simplistic game mechanics

I love unhinged data storage methods. My favorite is storing data in internet server pings to australia: Harder Drive
A close runner up goes to Can you store a Pokemon silver save INSIDE of Pokemon Emerald? Adef made his own video on it in I Turned Pokemon Emerald into a Flash Drive
Anyone have more? This is like my favorite genre of internet nonsense

We just need a few hundred people working on them. 300 kites per person is much more doable

- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 1 week ago:
My best friend drove me to work the other day. We missed a turn and had to take a detour. Not two blocks after that missed turn, his girlfriend calls him asking where he’s going lmao
I would be willing to share locations because I worry about people and don’t want them to worry about me, but I’ll toss this phone in a Blendtec blender before I install an application that gives some creep in fuckin Dayton Ohio my and my girlfriend’s GPS coordinates 24/7. Tasker does the job well enough anyhow

What does that have to do with the production of new paper? Deforestation remains an ever increasing problem
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m going to update my comment. Metal recycling is genuinely good, and recycling makes an enormous impact on the production of new metal
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
True, that honor belongs solely to metal. Glass is mostly recyclable, though most types of it that aren’t bottles will just be thrown in the trash. Paper is in theory recyclable, but putting that in recycle bins is basically just as effective as putting plastic in. Neither of those actually helps as long as we’re producing more and more paper and more and more glass every year. The only thing that helps is reducing production.

A link that may be helpful
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
Recycling does literally nothing, like it’s actually 0% helpful, as long as we’re producing more plastic than ever before every single year. We’re closing in on 500 million tonnes of plastic produced —not total, produced—annually. Every single person can put every single piece of plastic in the recycling bin, and we’ll still have more plastic than existed 50 years ago. There are many things that individual action can accomplish, and this is not one of them. We need legislation for this.

There are three of us: me, the person who posts takes I agree with, and the person who posts takes I don’t agree with. Sometimes they share accounts so it’s real hard to tell which one I’m talking to at any given time

Anyone feel like arguing about D&D rules? I basically have the PHB memorized, and I would love to explain the difference betweena melee weapon attack and an attack made with a melee weapon

I could, because our rights are not bulletproof. That said, it’s not a given that I will go to jail for being against genocide

Yes and I support that particular organization and the actions they perform. From what it sounds like reading the article, this very comment makes me a criminal in the UK
God bless the first amendment 🦅🇺🇲

There are few things I like about being an American, but one of them is the first amendment. It doesn’t always work, and Trump is sure to try some shit like this soon, but at least I know for now I won’t go to prison for saying that I do indeed support Palestine Action

Not stalking, this is the first time I believe I’ve ever interacted with you. Not commenting on the meme’s topic, but I am commenting on the topic of this particular thread. I don’t think this is harassment either, I was just pointing out a true thing that was relevant to the discussion. Ideally this is the last time I ever interact with you
- Comment on Mr Frisky! Mr Frisky Where Are You? 5 weeks ago:
You can’t even help but manipulate votes in your response to a vote manipulation accusation. This is like showing up drunk to a DUI hearing

For real, it was legitimately a fun game. I still love the Interceptor. I should redownload it and take some pics before the servers die
- Comment on Anthem servers shutting down January 12, 2026 5 weeks ago:
My only gripe is that the game gave me all kinds of freedom choose my character’s backstory, but I had to treat Owen like he was some kinda moron. Motherfucker let me give him my Colossus, I never use it and he will be impervious in it
- Comment on We live wasted lives 5 weeks ago:
I 100% agree, I’m just saying that life today is much more fulfilling for the average person than it was for, like, the average 13th century French peasant. The fact that we have access to this feeling of ennui in the first place is thanks to our safe and comfortable lifestyle.
Shit could be better, and we should fight to make it so. I just think we should also appreciate that our quality of life is nearly unrivaled throughout history, and even the modern world.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 5 weeks ago:
The fulfilling part is using that income to buy a telescope and admire the beauty of the cosmos
Or internet porn. Both of these are things our ancestorsnl couldn’t have even dreamed of, and would kill to have access to

I use the em-dash a lot. It’s not just about the presence of one, the issue is that LLMs know they exist but don’t know where they go. It’s sort of like a semicolon, which goes where neither a comma nor a period feel right. An em-dashes simply goes where neither comma nor period nor semicolon feels right
On my keyboard, I just click the button on the bottom left to see punctuation, and then long-press the hyphen
- Comment on What anime do you regularly rewatch? 1 month ago:
Loved that one. Range Murata has some… questionable tastes, but I love his character designs in Blue Submarine No. 6 and Last Exile
- Comment on What anime do you regularly rewatch? 1 month ago:
A Certain Scientific Railgun yearly. It’s what got me into anime back in 2021, started a >4 year long streak of watching anime every single day. It’s not a set date, I just start the rewatch 365 (366 on leap years) days after I last finished it. I’ve seen it four times now: first subs, then dubbed, then again in '23, then again in '24.
Haibane Renmei roughly every spring. Part of a discord server that did a group rewatch in '24 and '25. Looking forward to next year
