Yeah. Like I get what OP is saying but the fact is that serial killers are generally less hazardous on a global level than your average lawn care company.
- Comment on Unity apologizes and updates their infamous Runtime Fee 9 months ago:
Each one of these placating statements from them expressed sorrow for not listening/communicating more with their consumers, but I can’t help noticing a conspicuous lack of apology to their own employees.
Like, stop acting as if this is out of a clear blue sky and you’re simply course-correcting in good faith. Your own people told you this would happen. My trust in Unity is gone until they address this.
- Comment on Striking WGA resumes negotiations with studios 9 months ago:
I totally agree that streaming residuals are going to be the skeleton that any deal builds on. But until the Streamers are compelled to be transparent with their viewer data, it won’t be a good faith offer.

I’m just waiting for the sweetener Hollywood adds in this time. Maybe they’ll work in an increase on the minimum number of bathroom breaks allowed to extras and grips.

Lots of shower thoughts actually aren’t. This was. Good job.
- Comment on Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds 9 months ago:
Short term profits making quarterly reports look better to stakeholders. Isn’t that how 80% of these bigwigs get their job in the first place? We should be calling it the Zaslav Model at this point 😂.

Good call. Gotta keep them in sight.
- Comment on “We’re not ‘gatekeepers,’” Apple and Microsoft tell European Union 9 months ago:
Obviously Apples claim is complete bullshit but damn ya gotta feel a little for Microsoft tho, right? Like they’ve been trying to capture the search engine market with Bing for so long and only after being crushed by Google, they’re being accused of succeeding 😂.
- Comment on SAG-AFTRA votes unanimously to expand its strike to include the games industry 9 months ago:
I agree. Once I realized the distinction, tho, I’m still happy. Having the authorization in hand when negotiating, especially after taking into account the current double strike, will presumably give them more leverage than ever. I’m cool not having any new media for a couple years if it saves the industry.
- Comment on Saints Row Reboot is Awesome 9 months ago:
Ah, multiplayer is something I rarely touch so I can’t have an informed opinion on that element. That sucks for you, tho.
- Comment on Saints Row Reboot is Awesome 9 months ago:
Exactly this. I love the characters. I’m having a blast with them. Thank you for understanding that.
- Comment on Saints Row Reboot is Awesome 9 months ago:
Nah, just honestly sick of all the hate I see for it and this is about my only social platform. Simple as that.

So not shadow banning so much as putting feeds thru a kaleidoscope 😂
- Comment on The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke 9 months ago:
People should leave “y’all” alone. It doesn’t belong to anyone. It is a natural contraction of “you” and “all” that several cultures have independently produced as part of their vernacular.

- Comment on Am I allowed to use a VPN with Steam? 10 months ago:
I exclusively use a VPN with everything and have done so for years. If steam has an issue, they have yet to inform me lol.
On a serious note tho, there is an issue if you use a VPN to access store prices for a country outside your own. Regional pricing means that some people game the system and Valve rightfully cares about that.
- Comment on Small children are well known to be afraid of voids (closets, under the bed) in their sleeping area. Knowing this, why don't we design children's rooms to eliminate them? 10 months ago:
When you buy a house, closets are just there. You could take the doors off, I suppose, but closets are just a thing. As for the void under the bed, that is a feature and not a bug. Yes, it may allow for a fear of what’s under the bed. It’s also an inherent defense against the actual bugs on the floor that would otherwise crawl up the child’s bed.
Basically, the answer isn’t to change the standard child’s bedroom but to instead work around it. Take the doors off the closet if it scares them. Check under the bed every night and maybe put their “bravest” stuffed animals under there for protection. But rooms are rooms. Blocking off a closet and putting the kid’s mattress on the floor is not the answer lol.

Drop Dead Gorgeous
It is regularly quoted and watched in my household.
- Comment on What is wrong with some of you? 10 months ago:
So it’s from the French who took it from a poem about Greek gods. So the Christians stole from the pagans yet again lol.
