- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 2 hours ago:
I mean, okay, people can claim that every fps is just Doom with extra steps, doesn’t make the distinction irrellevant though. Mobas are their own thing, they aren’t called RTS anymore. Same with hero shooters. Tf2 isn’t a hero shooter.
- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 13 hours ago:
Nah. TF2 is a shooter with 9 classes. People can double up on “soldier” for instance. A hero shooter has for one, a lot more classes / heroes (which comes from MOBAs), for two activated abilities on each hero which change the games significantly, and usually disables doubling up in competetive modes. You wouldn’t call Enemy Territory a hero shooter for instance.
- Comment on ‘Duty to report’ child abuse laws will not apply to doctors, teachers or nurses 5 days ago:
They would be required by this law. This is exactly why they were exempt.
- Comment on ‘Duty to report’ child abuse laws will not apply to doctors, teachers or nurses 6 days ago:
Except for the very obvious issue here - it is a duty to report. So any small bruise, any indication (i e. A kid saying “mom beats me”) needs to go immediately to protective services. Which then ends up with the kid simply lying for attention after you put the entire family through hell.
They still can report. The thing here is “they aren’t forced to report every single possible instance no matter how small or fake”
- Comment on ‘Duty to report’ child abuse laws will not apply to doctors, teachers or nurses 6 days ago:
They can still report it, they just don’t have to.
- Comment on ‘Duty to report’ child abuse laws will not apply to doctors, teachers or nurses 6 days ago:
Ah yes, the doctors and nurses, which ends up with the parents not taking their abused child to a doctor anymore, cause they absolutely have to report it. Same reason why doctors don’t report drug usage to the police - they want to save your ass, not put you in jail.

So then your base floor floods
- Comment on Home Ownership is Just One Persons Fight Against Water 1 week ago:
That’s not a basement problem, that’s a location problem. Look for houses that are higher up than other houses, the water will flow down the hill and flood the people who didn’t do that.

- Comment on Sony - Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update - PSN no longer required 1 week ago:
Why should they go anywhere else? They are right. Making an echochamber by literally gatekeeping people with different political views than you isn’t productive either.
- Comment on Damnatory Arbitration 1 week ago:
Why not? Arbitration clauses work in the US. The funnier things that happen is when something is so bad, thousands of people go in for arbitration and the company cannot afford that. Then it backfires hard on them since you need to get every person to arbitrate and there is tens of thousands of them.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 has received 100,000 negative reviews since announcing players must link Steam to a PSN account 1 week ago:
There’s no reason, since the game worked fine for so long. They say it’s for security and thst they can’t ban specific people because steam has duplicate nicknames. Which is bullshit, since steam had steamid and other identifiers that let you identify the specific account.
It’s just corporate greed to 1. show shareholders there is a ton of psn accounts and that the console is doing fine 2. Sell that data to someone.

- Comment on the struggle 2 weeks ago:
Clearly you can’t read and understand that there is a difference between “my favourite color is red” which is prefference, to feng shui, which is basically astrology. I won’t be replying to you further since you either don’t understand what has been written, or you are trolling, in both cases making me not want to interact with you further. Good day.
- Comment on the struggle 2 weeks ago:
Again, okay, whatever. What I was saying “having a favourite color” and “feng shui” is a totally different thing.
- Comment on the struggle 2 weeks ago:
Okay so say feng shui or whatever, not “favorite color”.
- Comment on the struggle 2 weeks ago:
Favorite color is a faaaar cry from astrology and “lucky numbers”.

I take them for shits and gigles when I’m bored. I always got the same result.
- Comment on The Palestine experience 2 weeks ago:
You cherrypicked because you have an agenda to push and it is obvious. First you try to sow doubt by “just asking questions” and then “cherrypick” a wikipedia article, trying to gaslight people who literally just watched a video.
- Comment on conservation 2 weeks ago:
“crack den” didn’t raise an eyebrow but “thermites” did? You found 50% of the jokes at least
- Comment on conservation 2 weeks ago:
Or worse yet, a shell that doesn’t work. Since sometimes the shells get damaged, so one crab throws away a perfectly good shell, and the one next in line takes it, leaving a crack den filled with thermites behind.
- Comment on After 10,000+ hours grinding, MapleStory's first level 300 player slams the brakes at 299.99 to rant about the MMO and then quit, all on a dev-promoted stream 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t need to go to a huge project, it needs to go to a project that was supported for a long time by dedicated devs who like working on the game and put in their all into it etc. Red dead was literally all crunch, devs hated working on it, and it stopped immediately after release.

Red dead got labour of love for how shitty the dev situation was when working on the game tho.

Nah dude. Both cases are incredibly famous for what they were voted for. It was countless people shitposting. There were other, better recognizable games in there. Like Red Dead 2 is from 6 years ago.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 2 weeks ago:
8hrs a day 5 days a week is normal employment. Some companies don’t count lunches, so you stay there for 8.5 hrs.
- Comment on Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. 3 weeks ago:
And your response to a credible threat that is solved with the exact same means at other public gatherings, is to not use them, because you feel safe without them? If you apply this way of thinking to other security measures, why would you have a lock at the door? People won’t steal from you (until they actually do because you didn’t have a lock in your door)
