Thanks. This is what I was looking for
- Comment on On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down 6 days ago:
What a bold-faced clearly obvious motherfucking lie.
Rockstar has released only 2 full games in the past 13 years because everything they’ve done since then has been funded by microtransactions. The price of entry is negligible to them when whales pay for multiple copies of the game every fuckin month.
- Comment on Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be? 1 week ago:
Why do we tolerate it
The person who ceaselessly bashes their head against a brick wall hoping to knock it down will accomplish one thing, and it’s not knocking the wall down
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 week ago:
All of fucking Bloodborne. Fast travel is great. Building into the narrative where you don’t tell the story directly? Fuck that.
- Comment on Would you rather have a pet dinosaur or a pet dragon? 1 week ago:
Is this the shapeshifting, intelligent kind of dragon? Because I wouldn’t want it as a pet but as a friend. That’s way nicer than having something that all my neighbors will treat the same way so many bigots treat pit bulls.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have a helpful answer to your question, but wouldn’t it be better to call him something that’s actually an insult about his character rather than his vanity, like “First Felon” or “First Rapist” or something? Not that he’s the first of any of those but “First” is a descriptor commonly reserved for the White House
- Comment on Do British people say "brr" when they're cold? If so, how do they pronounce the R? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have the answer but I’ve always thought it was interesting that British-English spells the filler words that Americans normally write as “uhh” or “um” as “er” or “erm”
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
I talked about this a lot with my partner since we had been living together for a couple of years before we decided to get married.
Marriage, to us, is really just an external expression of the love that we share and the commitment we have already made to each other. The marriage itself is not the commitment, just a statement of it. There are lots of members in our families who disagree and say that marriage itself is the commitment, but then again they’re the same ones who have been divorced or who have extremely unhealthy relationships with their spouses.
Leaning on a piece of paper with your signature on it as the reason you’re staying with someone is idiotic; paper tears extremely easily. I choose to love my partner, not because a paper tells me that I chose that long ago, but because I wake up every day and make that decision.
Why get married? I dunno, if it doesn’t mean the same thing to you, then don’t, and I say that with no judgement at all. If you care more about the person than you do about the idea if marriage (like I do) and you gain nothing from a marriage, then don’t worry about it and just focus on the person, yourself, and the relationship you both share.

- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 4 weeks ago:
I had to remember that I bought an Index and Steam Deck on Steam so that has definitely inflated the amount I’ve spent compared to the 3rd party valuation lol

- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 5 weeks ago:
There’s nothing more masculine than dominating another man physically.

- Comment on Insurrection act — April 20th. Pls read! 5 weeks ago:
Blanketly saying “Project 2025 laid this out” isn’t the most reliable way to cite a source. Can you provide specific citations?
- Comment on Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government? 5 weeks ago:
Are you asking if humans have the right to free speech? Because yes.
Any “government” that doesn’t recognize that deserves the respect of no human being
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 5 weeks ago:
THE Harold Zoid!
- Comment on What actually came first? The chicken or the egg? 5 weeks ago:
The chicken. When it decided to cross the road
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 5 weeks ago:
As an American (not that it’s particularly unique from Europe) living in a city feels much better because I’m not completely tied to my car. Living in suburbs and rural areas makes it far less tenable to walk or bike anywhere. Cities are the only place with any sort of public transportation or even pedestrian infrastructure that is remotely walker-friendly
- Comment on It was nicer when Duke Nukem Forever was famous for never coming out 1 month ago:
Schrodinger’s Delayed/Rumored Game: while unreleased it is both the perfect game and the worst game of all time. You won’t know until it’s released.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 1 month ago:
Hell yeah. Welcome!
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 month ago:
Call of Duty: World At War Zombies
Every map in WaW zombies has been re-released at least twice. WaW zombies is cool because of how simple and barebones it is, but holy fucking hell that game was not coded for any sort of melee combat. The zombie bodies are so damn large, according to their hit boxes. Try to run past them but brush up against their pinky? Guess you’re done. Also for some reason the co-op splitscreen is not split vertically, and it’s not split horizontally, each of the two players just gets a quarter of the screen in a tiny box. Who knows why.
I love it to death but it’s real hard to go back to it.
- Comment on Do you think Social Media is just exaggerated as being placed of being the source of all problems? 1 month ago:
Social media is not just a tool; every single major social network has an algorithm with an agenda
Tools for connecting people cannot make editorial decisions. Tools for connecting people don’t try to manipulate those people into thinking certain ways.
If social networks were purely tools for connecting people who want to communicate, then we’d be having a different conversation.
If you ask me, we should recategorize Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc from “Social Networks” to “Content Distributors” because that’s what they are. They take content from the users and advertisers and prioritize what they want to promote in front of the users.
Signal, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc don’t have algorithms with agendas so their purpose is purely social networking. They are the actual social networks.
- Comment on Is there a good way to buy chrome lettering in the same font as the brand's original lettering on the back of the car? 1 month ago:
More towards the funny side. Just looking to customize my car with the same font

Yes. The media is suppressing them. See c/50501
- Comment on Why build for tomorrow when it's someone else's tomorrow? 2 months ago:
Odds are that there are dozens of people way cooler than me who would benefit from the work that I can do in preparation for them.
Also, eternal life, like immortality in the annals of human history, is only something I can hope for. Making other people’s lives better is the only way I know for sure I can make a mark in the world.
As Bo Burnham puts it, “You pray so badly for heaven knowing any day could be the day that you die. Maybe life on Earth can be heaven. Doesn’t just the thought of it make it worth a try?”
- Comment on Should all AI generated images be age restricted? 2 months ago:
Ok.
- Comment on What is the name of the sexuality of being into the opposite gender and willing to date the same gender but not finding anyone of the same gender attractive? 2 months ago:
This is probably not at all what this person is like, but the way I read this made me picture someone desperate to prove that they’re cool and hip by being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have never heard of anyone like this, though I have heard of someone very European claiming to be native American for the street cred so I wouldn’t say no one would ever do the same with sexuality.
