And it’s never been better with Stremio plus a Debrid service. App has a much more user friendly interface than that Prime trash.
- Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now. 1 week ago:
Agreed. LLM Ai has gotten insanely good insanely fast, and an LLM of course isn’t going to magically turn into an AGI. That’s a whole different ball game.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 2 weeks ago:
Good news then because Dark Ages is extremely different than Eternal and a lot of people who didn’t like that game but loved 2016 are happy with it. I’m not saying rush out and spend $70 on it, but give it a go when it’s on sale down the line and you might end up really pleased with it.
Eternal was too hard for me. Love Dark Ages.

I’m only doing the brain chip thing if it can fully transplant me to a Matrix level of simulated reality and get me out of this current hellhole permanently.
- Comment on The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers 3 weeks ago:
I sleep with earplugs in because I work nights and have no idea when the HOA maintenance people are going to start blowing those things at 8 in the fucking morning.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 3 weeks ago:
I rather gladly take my free games from them.
- Comment on The new Diablo 4 Berserk crossover skins will cost you up to $150 5 weeks ago:
Used to be thrilled with the situation keeping game prices down since I have never personally spent a cent on horse armor. Guess that only worked for so long sadly.
- 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 5 weeks ago:
Yeah? I’ll buy it when it’s on sale for $35 and they’ll profit, so it’s all good. Patience is a virtue and all that.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 5 weeks ago:
I don’t even have a console unless they plan on releasing it on Switch 2… so yeah, it’s gonna be a longer wait and I’m okay with that.
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii 1 month ago:
I was hoping Cross was the start of turning it into a larger series… and I will defend that game to the end of my days because it’s really very good. Living up to Chrono Trigger is obviously a tall order, but I’m overall really happy with Cross and would like to see more games.

Yeah, if they want to get crazy with creative changes then… hey, make a new Chrono game?
- Comment on Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii 1 month ago:
HD-2D would be great. Polygonal remake done with care could work. I don’t like the idea of completely changing the gameplay, design, and key plot points one bit though.

Dang, I called one an autistic dork and only got 3 days. Nothing against autistic people. I just knew it would trigger him.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 1 month ago:
Indeed I should have said “up to 4K” and of course that is usually going to require using Nvidia’s excellent DLSS tech. But at the end of the day, the results are a visual treat. Again, mainstream consumers don’t think about stuff like this. It’s a solid upgrade over Switch. Thing is going to sell out instantly and be hard to get for a year just like the original regardless of what we think.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 1 month ago:
The hardware really isn’t dated though. Remember this is a handheld, not a console, and it’s using a newly designed custom Nvidia chip. Mainstream audiences aren’t going to be deeply analyzing the specs. They’re just going to look at the games. And the games look very good and are running at 4K.
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 1 month ago:
Yeah, they’re going to sell out immediately and stock is going to be scarce even if they did increase the price.

I can’t recall any scenario where Trump and his cronies aren’t cringey and childish, so it’s business as usual really.

- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 1 month ago:
One of the issues I have with the new open-world style Zelda games is that they don’t have replay value. After finishing each once (which takes a lot of time), I can’t actually imagine wanting to go back and play them again. So yeah, Nintendo can charge what they want and it isn’t very appealing regardless. Increased resolution isn’t going to change the experience.

Turn based please.
- Comment on Choking during sex: many young people mistakenly believe it can be done safely, our study shows 2 months ago:
I’ve never had a partner that wants me to actually choke her for fuck’s sake. A lot of women are just turned on by the fantasy and like sex a little rough. Apply a little pressure on their neck and humor them if they’re into it.
- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 2 months ago:
8bitdo sells a fantastic controller that does everything the Switch Pro controller does besides gyro for $25. It has hall-effect sticks, hall effect triggers and a much better d-pad. It really sickens me how greedy the console manufacturers have gotten with controller prices.

Rooting for the collapse of this entire system is what sustains me.

Unless it’s something they’re genuinely passionate about that gives them purpose, it’s the saddest thing in the world. I don’t think that describes the vast majority of us doing our mundane corporate slave work though.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 months ago:
There’s some overlap in customers, sure but the vast majority of people who buy a Switch 2 aren’t the types who would buy a Deck. Switch 2 will sell tens of millions more units to a mainstream consumer. And that’s fine. Deck can still be a successful product in its own right as long as Valve is making a profit off of it through Steam software sales.
- Comment on BAFTA Crowns Shenmue "The Most Influential Video Game Of All Time" In Surprise Result | Time Extension 2 months ago:
But then GTA3 was already the natural progression for the series. It’s not that different than the 2D GTA games in terms of design… the technology just wasn’t there yet to build it out in 3D until that point. I’m sure they were already in process of developing the game before seeing Shenmue and it would have turned out very similar had that game never existed.

More than Super Mario Bros and Doom? Nah, son.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck. 2 months ago:
Maybe I’m just getting old, but I was very bored and underwhelmed during the entire presentation even before the terrible pricing reveal. I like the mouse joycons and the Donkey Kong game. That’s about it.

Hah. Oh hey… Look, it’s in 4K after all!
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 2 months ago:
I’m just going to get the Switch version and be perfectly happy with the visuals being slightly less good and using gyro joycon aim over joycon mouse.
