  You can’t force engagment by picking a guy whose name is Matt Booty, Microsoft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some absurd scare tactic to not allow women to vote⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t suppose this is fighting against the assumption that marriage is a part of becoming a fully-fledged adult. So is the fear in this reality that you’d get force-bethrothed to an ugly woman (let’s not hold a mirror on that too long)? But what about the beautiful women? Are they given last pick or something?

  Or, perhaps, would the beautiful women marry someone else, and you would be the dregs for the late, unlucky woman to scrape off the bottom of the barrel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What you described as enjoyable isn’t “Skyrim” that’s just the Gamebryo engine. The Companions don’t figure into a physics glitch that rockets you up to kiss the twin moons. Nocturne and the Nightingales aren’t relevant to a horse glued at an 85° angle to a mountain face. You’re just describing mucking around in a less interactive GMod. But people did like the mage who pancaked himself with a jump spell, the woman who is absolutely a necrophiliac, and Glarthir’s deranged quest. Actual components of those games that were done well. We all want them to make the game better so we actually want to experience all the bits that are well done and funny.

  The Elder Scrolls isn’t popular because of the shitty engine. It’s memed because of the engine, but the games are generally fun enough to keep playing through the more benign bugs. And, like shared trauma, we all laugh about the bad bits in hindsight.

  Also lining up to take pictures and beg for a turn, if the preponderance of pedophiles in their leadership continues as a trend in the voters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A system that benefits people who lie about objective facts should be destroyed.

  If the tactical business decision is to look someone in the face and say “spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours, idly gazing at photos of anything is not an addiction” in order to protect business interests, then things are wrong. Addiction to a product should be met with horror! Oh no, how could this happen? Instead, it’s part of the business model.

  “Business” is a blight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, there’s literally a job title called “investor”,

  Why are we acting like investors are a good thing now? Maybe they don’t want a single revenue source to present undue influence on development. If their revenue is entirely supported by their premium model, if they make a decision bad for the community, money dries up. You think Discord would be doing dumb shit like this, if they weren’t floatinf off investors and whatever Palantir is throwing at them?

  Of all the things to complain about, the fact that people can pay to have an animated avatar or screenshare in 4K, a resolution that a super-minority of people even have a monitor that can render, is baffling.

  Hmm, try 5 more pre-toothpicks before the other 12 toothpicks…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨big improvement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried becoming hot before applying the toothpick?

  I’ve heard that works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the answer. The core of all American-based French slander is badly-remembered WW2 anecdotes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is clearly not the reason.

  Duke Poop’em is heinous lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I detect no errors of logic here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, at this point we’re just doing theorycrafting for human monsters, but that concept just doesn’t resonate with me.

  That concept is the “I have any itch I just can’t scratch” type of depraved, where it’s a compulsion. They need just another type of stimulus because they’ve done it all, and they fell into child rape.

  But what I see from them, and the little evidence we’re allowed to hear, shows more of a laidback, nihilistic type of depravity. They have more money than they’ll ever need, but why shouldn’t they get a little more money by suppressing some poor-people’s rights? Why shouldn’t they buy that car, yacht, election, sex slave?

  I imagine they look at Hunter Biden’s vices the same way we look at the Amish: “why are you limiting yourself to that when it’s so easy to get more?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I detect no errors of logic here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I think they know they’re into the most depraved shit. It was just the now-classic projection: condemnation for sexual affairs. You think they haven’t done crack with adult Latinas before sinking to raping kids?

  They’re not the psychiatric definition of pedophiles, in the sense of mentally-ill people with anti-social paraphilias; they’re depraved monsters who know raping kids is some of the most illicit things they had yet to dabble in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trailer - Hypernet Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the sort of pipedream, hyperspecific indie project I only want to learn about after the dev’s been working on it for 14 years already, and it’s only 6 more years until it finally releases.

  What the hell kinda complaint is this?

  I don’t even know how you read those terms without immediately reading the explanation of the game terms that followed.

  Quote:

  The [f]luid mystic system draws directly from the Spirit Pearl, letting players temporarily awaken special abilities or enhance weapons with EX effects tied to divine water.

  Another primary mechanic is Relic Fusion, combining mythic artifacts for new skills. Examples include pairing Hou Yi’s Bow with multi-armed abilities for archery techniques, or using the Palm Leaf Fan alongside water-based traps to control enemies.

  Glad I got out immediately when I smelled smoke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turns out my gaming skills are useless in another world!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If this is the series I think it is, I don’t recall exactly why but I do remember that I was instantly turned off from the series because of how much it felt like it was preening over basic commonsense moves.

  I don’t think you can fix stupid. “Stupid” is label of intellectual capacity. And we ain’t Algernon’d anybody for real.

  Thanks for the TL;DR. The title led me to believe the post was going to be clickbait built off a nothingburger and it seems I was right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wokeness ended, check mate leftists ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unironically, that is as consistent with the GOP’s usage of the word as anything else. Because the youths say “6 7” and they refuse to understand it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wokeness ended, check mate leftists ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Woke” is when they’re mad about how things are or are now not. “Woke” is anything and nothing, which makes it usable for everything.

  This was either from April or early December. In either case, I’ve never heard this repeated anywhere else since.

  She seems to be making some sort of statement, and that certainly can’t be allowed.

  Eeeeh, I dunno about that. If he had been an ass man, people wouldn’t have started making fun of people who like ass. They would have just continued making fun of how much he inserts ass into his movies.

  I think even without association with Tarantino, first encounters with foot fetishism would be met with heavy skepticism/suspicion.
