We can’t rule out that VP candidate’s named Tim are the issue. Hillary had Tim Kaine and lost, Biden had Kamala and won, Kamala had Tim Walz and lost.
- Comment on No matter how hard he tries, Elon Musk will never be as cool or as respected as Martha Stewart. 5 days ago:
I prefer to embrace the thought that no matter how chronically online he is, his meme game will always be dogshit and his nerd cred largely nonexistent.
- Comment on Goosebumps: The Game will be removed from sale on August 8, 2025. 1 week ago:
I own Transformers Devastation on Steam, which was delisted. You can still install it. Achievements got weird for it but still more or less worked. You can’t buy stuff from the market for it including emotes or cards, but can trade or buy some of it with points.

if you build a perpetual motion machine and it eats the postman from seinfeld… you still made a perpetual motipn machine

“They think they have it figured out, why are they so sad?”
Well Jimmy, when you realize religious fanatics would rather shoot homeless people then feed them, its a bit of a downer!

Also the X-men aren’t human. Kinda makes the court system feel like the baddies tho
- Comment on I would still download a car if I could. 🚗 4 weeks ago:
The technicality argument always rubbed me the wrong way. Like the guys who are into jailbait and say they aren’t pedophiles because pedophilia is for under ten year olds and they want to fuck teenagers. Brother you still want to fuck underage folks.
Same generally with piracy. Saying it’s not theft because there’s no physical deprivation of goods just sounds deluded. It’s still taking stuff without paying for it. Who are you trying to fool? Are you hoping someone is gonna read that nonsense and say, “Oh shit hes right guess we gotta get rid of copyright law now”? And would you want them to in the day and age of AI stealing everything?
I’m not even really trying to scold folks who pirate, I do it too, I just don’t bother to grandstand about it. BFD I’m pirating 30 year old video games. Y’all think if I bought a 200 dollar used one on Ebay the original studio sees a dime of it? C’mon now.

By definition it cannot.
- Comment on So you want to start playing Castlevania games (a giant primer) 5 weeks ago:
Crazy how Symphony of the Night is to Metroidvanias what Chrono Trigger or FF6/7 is to RPG’s but we’re still getting Kid Dracula released by Konami in the Castlevania collections before it is.
NGL fairly salty.

Perot did pretty well on his runs iirc. But I don’t think he’s the one you were talking about.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 month ago:
Less stealth and more “I’m hopped up on goofballs and nerd rage lets goooooooo”
- Comment on no way right 1 month ago:
Arguable for his time under Ares, but the freedom fighter and terrorist line gets blurry when fighting a regime and he’s fought two, Greek and Norse.

Completely ignoring the plot in Fallout 4 as I help yet another settlement
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 1 month ago:
You can’t logic someone out of something they didn’t logic themselves into, and they definitely got emotionally attached to antivax before they found “statistics” to back shit up.
- Comment on OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT 1 month ago:
For thousands of years people have raised their kids without the benefit of the moneypit 9000, Sam Altman is apparently dumber then a caveman.
- Comment on Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting 1 month ago:
Shoulda used the magnets for hall effect sticks rather then clacking joycons on the thing
- Comment on You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags 1 month ago:
Adjustable difficulty is accessibility? Maybe what I’m thinking isn’t what it is. Anyone know if it means stuff like easy/medium/hard or the more granular stuff like “Turn off QTE’s”?
Either way nice to see Steam making this stuff available and easy for devs.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 1 month ago:
On Steam I have categories for played, unplayed, playing, and never touching again. Works well, but that backlog is brutal.

I had something and now I have Dr. Wily in a bikini. People variously don’t notice, don’t care, or are like bro wtf.
I’m ok with all these reactions.

Hades did straight numbers, not a shocker they’d go for another. Couldn’t see Transistor or Bastion getting sequels, (Or Pyre but… lol Pyre.) and more importantly, I’d rather they tell new stories.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
One has to imagine a future where one of sevetal things happen. Two possibilities come to mind.
- The government somehow bans beef, chicken, turkey, etc. This, I can’t stress this enough, will not happen. The backlash would be massive and leaders would be out on their ass swiftly and the decree reversed.
- Climate change and animal flus render meat so expensive that it escapes affordability for the average man More catastrophic, but also more likely. IMO average folks go largely vegan at that point, meat becomes a special occasion thing for them.

- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok AI Has a Problem: It’s Too Accurate for Conservatives 2 months ago:
It’s not impossible, but it is a far more difficult thing then they want to deal with to have an AI that consistently toes the conservative line, especially when that line can change wildly even in the span of a conversation. Egg prices are too high under Biden but we can’t expect a president to magic them down under Trump. We should be able to have vouchers for religious schools but wait why are the muslims allowed to go to their madrasas? Of course I’d never work in a factory or buy overpriced American products but we should bring back production to the United States. The list goes on.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 2 months ago:
I have 170 games in my backlog and the summer sale is coming. I ain’t spending 80 bucks on one video game.
