Are you really comparing a completely optional forum to a society where people can and will put guns at you?

I don’t have kids, but if I did, I sure as fuck wouldn’t raise them to join the military. I saw though that shit after 9/11.

It’s not that hard to make and use PPE for the miners. Whether or not it’s enforced is another question, but with how easy asbestos seem to be, they probably are.

You can tell from the background that the lighting isn’t as bright. It doesn’t mean it was photoshopped and doesn’t mean it was dishonest.

I shifted to that view a long time ago. I have a selection of “classics” I play on rotation and I add a few indies or modern ports every now and then.
The multiplay scene went in a direction I don’t intend to follow. Some old friends are thinking about hosting a retro lan party, but I’m going to make it clear that I’m walking if they try sneaking in any modern shit.

-
If the DLC is permanently owned and pays to the artists who made the map, that’s fine.
-
Even if it is “permanently”, but tied to a server that could be shutdown, it’s not permanently owned. Fuck that
-
If the DLC isn’t permanently owned, but “rented”, that profit only goes to the executives that probably fired the artists. Fuck that.

I don’t know why EA would be relevant to anyone for the past 20+ years, but here we are.

The lesson of the Trolley Problem is that you need to start thinking about your options before it gets to that point.

If I have to choose between buying into a US run surveillance state or buying into a Chinese run surveillance state, I choose to buy neither.
- Comment on W for Uncle Ted 2 weeks ago:
I was wondering why his face looked familiar. He was featured on Big Thinkers.
I’ll rewatch it later, but the only thing I remember about him was that he learned how to use his other hand as his primary after the mail bomb blew up his dominate one. Probably the only reason he had an episode at all was the bombing.

You could, idk, maybe not buy prepackaged surveillance camera that rely on someone else’s computer to work.

Ratchet & Clank had it’s first three games released in three years. Same graphics and no one cared.

With how Facebook forces real names, the idea that being anonymous has any influence where or not someone is a fuckwad had been debunked.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
I honestly hate the dualshock design. It’s more about aesthetics then it is ergonomics. The controller was always too small for me and the thumb placement never felt right. I really liked the original Xbox controller and was pissed they never released a large version of their controllers afterwards. It was the only one that never gave me hand cramps after long sessions.
The N64 controller wasn’t a good controller in hindsight, but it was an experimental controller, because like I already said, Nintendo didn’t know how game devs would want to use an analog stick. The center was ambidextrous, so there were three different holding configurations. I have more issue with the Game Cube controller with it’s analog nub. It wasn’t comfortable to use ever and they should have realized that by then.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
People mock the N64 controller, but it was designed to allow developers three different configurations to design their game around and let them decide what was best. It’s really not a bad shape overall.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s was weird hearing the “debates” about where or not men should still open doors for women in an equal society when the obvious solution was for everyone to hold doors open for everyone else. Are you at the door first? Hold it open. Is the other person’s hands full? Hold it open.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m just happy that around me, everyone just holds doors for everyone else, regardless of gender. Guys hold open doors for guys. Girls hold open doors for guys. It’s not weird.

25 years ago. Every study on social media and mental health back then showed it was bad.
- Comment on YSK TikTok Is Harming Children at an Industrial Scale. We know this because we obtained messages from TikTok engineers and executives 3 weeks ago:
It was sort of funny, but it only had one punchline and wore out quickly for me. Shock humor has a really low retention rate. Come that to say, Rejected or the parody GI Joe PSAs, they’re really not great and a wonder why Youtube hired them to make their old copyright volition training videos.
