How about we stop worshipping military like a fucking cult, while we are at the same time badgering federal government employees and fucking them over.
Work is work. Treat people with respect, and make no politicians or job types into legends or cults.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 3 days ago:
Yes, it appears to be true; according to numerous posts all over Reddit and Twitter, you can see
Wow. Article based on social media posts. Didn’t even try it themselves. Garbage.
- Comment on Steam will soon start making it easier for players to search for games based on accessibility features 4 days ago:
People need to remember that news about how Steam has like 300 employees. They do a ton with a small crew, and they stay down to earth. Coming from all sorts of console gaming and the shittyness of that, It’ll be a long time before I criticize Steam.

Far Cry 6 is tons of fun and 5 was kind of meh to me. I also thought 4 was incredible.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #59 - Far Cry 5 4 days ago:
As a fan since the first, and having played nearly every version of Far Cry, Far Cry 5 was the biggest disappointment for so many reasons. What a dud. I cannot comprehend the love people have for this mediocre pile of mush.
The Vietnam DLC was fun though.
Blood Dragon is the best Far Cry by the way. But truly Far Cry 2 is actually the best for what it aimed to achieve, which was lost in subsequent games.

As an American, I approve this message. It’s accurate.
- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 6 days ago:
In 2018, Bill Gates’ net worth was approximately $90 billion. His estimated income was around $12 billion, according to estimates from Business Insider.
In 2018, the median net worth of an American household was $101,800. I chose median cause these billionaires drastically skew the mean. The median household income was $63,179.
This is difficult cause income matters more than net worth for the rest of us. But for some perspective, to understand how fucking rich these assholes are, and how far gone from reality their hoarding is.
If an average American household gave the same scale of gift in 2018, based on household income, the gift would be $83.29, and based on net worth, it’d be $17.89.

So right wing politicians are indiscriminately killing prominent elders off?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The Bible is a collection of random manuscripts that men long ago decided were “holy” enough. On top of that, there is no “bible.” Almost every sect of Christianity has different forms of this Bible, some involving different included or excluded scripts, and numerous varying translations or rewrites.
Has always been astonishing to me how many Christians believe their Bible is the only one. They get in their little echo chambers and just assume their experience is what everyone else experiences. I’ve seen this ignorance also translate to non-religious topics as well. They just assume their world view is THE world view.
Fuck religion. But especially fuck general Christianity. It self-selects the narcissist looking for an excuse book to wave a magic wand and be absolve of their shittyness.
Just FYI this comment comes from a childhood of abuse followed by “I’ll only need to answer to God.”

More like AI generated anything. Turns posts into circlejerk arguments about AI and nothing to do with the post. Sensitive.
- Comment on Entire Pentagon defense tech unit to leave by May 1 week ago:
The impacts are going to be compounding and felt for decades. People do not understand the work federal employees do, and many federal employees don’t even always comprehend how far the work can reach.
It might be impossible to understand the downstream compounding effects.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 1 week ago:
The way skyblivion has been implemented avoids all this. They have made it very clear they are not in any way using original assets or providing the game. They are mods that utilize both Skyrim and Oblivion game files and you must have both for it to work. It is modding those game files, not providing them.
- Comment on Commerce Secretary Lutnick says tariff exemptions for electronics are only temporary: Lutnick said "semiconductor tariffs" will likely come in "a month or two.". 1 week ago:
You ignore the electoral college (i.e. an entire state swinging for one candidate), you also ignore voter suppression tactics. In some parts of the US it is seriously difficult for certain groups, especially the poor, to exercise this right. Merely transportation issues alone can be super prohibitive. They explicitly close polling stations in certain areas and fucn with transportation services for this. They push back against early and mail in voting. Peoplebhave to work during that day. They have kids and lives.
This is well known in America. Get off your smug high horse.

Thanks half the voting country too. You got neighbors who asked for this.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 weeks ago:
And there are those who have it even harder than YOU. Everyone’s station in life is different. They are allowed to experience that.
If they are being insensitive to your concerns, then maybe they are not a good friend, but it sound like you’re the one insensitive to their concerns. You can both have different concerns.
Also this is literally a Switch post in a gaming community amd you self selected this complaint in here. It’s telling.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 weeks ago:
Almost 10 years ago I began to see this trend online, and at work where people were misspelling ‘separate’ as ‘seperate’ and I am still irrationally angered by it.

Okay. Then thank you to your grandparents who sat idly by while Poland was invaded?
We don’t control much here. We get presented shitty options, the electoral college makes a lot of our votes not matter, and a lot of people are just trying to live.
