- Comment on Steam Machine is huge for indie development 2 days ago:
I think we should see what it’s priced at before we start making proclamations about the Steam Machine being the “standard gaming PC”.
- Comment on Also pretty poor, with shitty health care coverage...am I getting warm? 5 days ago:
Yeah, I don’t know why this would translate to mental illness?
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 2 weeks ago:
I wasn’t talking about people.
I’m talking about me.
I don’t want needles (or any sharp objects) close to my genitals.
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 2 weeks ago:
Is the syringe in the dong? Because that’s a beeg no for me. I’m not squeamish around needles but am squeamish about the dong and dings.
- Comment on Albania what are you doing? I thought you just made peace with Aberbaijan??? 2 weeks ago:
What in the fuck does this even mean?
- Comment on Gotta get those tickets! 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen a number of comments coming in defense of the mother but I didn’t read the OP as a critique in the first place.
The caption is just a funny “rationalization” for the scenario we’re seeing.
- Comment on Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises 3 weeks ago:
Acquire food from supermarkets and then leave. They just leave it sitting around all over the place, in there!
- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 3 weeks ago:
First reaction: fear.
Second: I chuckled. Because I thought of some VP-level enforcing this joke as SOP.
And then a little more fear, as a treat.
- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 3 weeks ago:
I’d believe them if they said they tested small- scale locally. Even good software/designs can implode when they get scaled up, and I doubt this was good design or software.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 3 weeks ago:
That’s what it seems. I try not to write everyone off immediately and gave them space to explain themself because some people’s brains are a mass of wet noodles that don’t do logic good.
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 3 weeks ago:
Indie and AA.
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 3 weeks ago:
I’ve gotten release copies of games for review. Unless they have another secret tier of pressers, this is nonsense. If anything, review copies are more likely to have bugs that making completing the game harder.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 3 weeks ago:
It’s kinda like saying housing would be a lot better if there were more forest rangers.
How is that at all the same?
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 3 weeks ago:
AC2

Then they redwoods should be sending aid to the Amazons, because they are losing hold.
- Comment on Great business idea, tbh 3 weeks ago:
Dom’t worry. His services are not mandatory.
- Comment on Discuss 4 weeks ago:
Gotta up the drone strikes to set a spectrum. More strikes is more serious.
- Comment on Western Executives Shaken After Visiting China 4 weeks ago:
Kill his whole family and then build my bunker for the “inevitable” apocalypse that I willfully helped to create!
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
“Silence 2: This Time It’s Quieter”?
Is that anything?
- Comment on Steam Next Fest is back for October 2025. What good demos have you found? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe I’m suddenly shite at games but parrying feels like happenstance rather than a technique. The block windup is too long for me to react to the quick strike they throw out. It feels like Skyrim combat, from a “battle flow” standpoint.

Dat’s caked up heels
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 5 weeks ago:
Potential partners don’t have to be rapists or murderers to be worth avoiding. They could have anti-social tendencies, explosive tempers, or violent reactions. Or, just be generally unpleasant. Like you.
I wouldn’t have discovered I’m not much a fan of you, if I hadn’t made an innocuous comment about not holding it against women if they do a single smoke test for bad actors. We might have otherwise been buddy-buddy, with years of casual friendship, before something else triggered this, or a similar, conversation. And then, months or years down the road, I’d have to grapple with whether the friendship is salvageable. Because I don’t think shrugging at women who have to play russian roulette for love is very cool.
But, as I said, I’m lucky. I can say we’re done here, right now.

That is so utterly devoid of empathy that I have nothing left to say to you.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 month ago:
It might seem like a game to you but that’s someone’s life.
Do you have an alternative for how they should determine if a potential partner is a danger? Besides hiring a private detective or rolling the dice by finding out after they’re invested?
- Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things. 1 month ago:
Oh! This is the guy who talked about what a shithead Fetterman was even before the stroke! I could never find it again but I remember his face.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 month ago:
I don’t think “begrudging women a single test to see if someone is the type to explode over a single inconvenience” is the right hill to stick your flag on.

Why did they format the text wrong?
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 1 month ago:
I recently stumbled upon “dense block of hamstink”.
- Comment on I volunteer as tribute! 1 month ago:
No? Those numbers always “quantify” physical attractiveness.
Nobody’s going around saying Quasimodo’s a 10.
