- Comment on Those Assassin’s Creed, Resident Evil and Death Stranding iPhone ports have bombed 5 days ago:
Why would I shell out $50 to play on a tiny ass screen with shitty touchscreen controls? Fuck that noise.
- Comment on Pornhub prepares to block five more states rather than check IDs 1 week ago:
At a guess, gerrymandering. Absurdly defined district maps are used to split up areas where the opposition is strong and drown them with surrounding friendly voters.
- Comment on Chemicals in car interiors may cause cancer — and they’re required by US law: 1 month ago:
That’s because pretty much everything does cause cancer eventually. That’s just a consequence of how cellular division works. The trick is knowing how much exposure to any given thing is needed to cause cancer, and whether you’re likely to reach that threshold before you die of anything else.
- Comment on Trump reportedly asked Musk to buy Truth Social last year 3 months ago:
I mean, wouldn’t paying for Truth basically be bailing President Loser out?
- Comment on Mankanshoku Mako (by Kuku) 3 months ago:
Kill la Kill.
- Comment on Tesla shares slide after judge voids Elon Musk's $56 billion compensation 4 months ago:
Defendants also argue that Musk needed additional incentives to stay on at Tesla or he would spend more time at SpaceX, where he could fulfill his galactic ambitions to establish interplanetary travel, colonize Mars, and potentially earn more money in the meantime.
Not like he even actually does anything at Tesla anyway, between all the people they’ve got to babysit him and his spending all his time shit posting on Twitter.
- Comment on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - Gameplay Reveal Trailer | Xbox Dev Direct 2024 5 months ago:
Todd Howard? Wasn’t expecting that. Anywho, looks like this’ll mainly be in 1st person? That’s kinda neat actually, I don’t think we’ve had a 1st Indy before.
- Comment on Which is less religious: Xmas or Christmas? 5 months ago:
Just go back to first principles and celebrate the actual solstice.
- Comment on Epic is giving away 17 games as part of its holiday sale 6 months ago:
Yes, thank you, I’m well aware that internet randos are people. And I like not having to deal with them while I’m unwinding. Why is that a “problem”?
- Comment on Epic is giving away 17 games as part of its holiday sale 6 months ago:
I mean, I hate playing with internet randos anyway, so that’s not actually a downside for me.
- Comment on OpenAI's reported 'superintelligence' breakthrough is so big it nearly destroyed the company, and ChatGPT 7 months ago:
I’ll believe it when Judgement Day happens and I die
in nuclear firewhen the wi-fi turns against me. - Comment on OpenAI brings Sam Altman back as CEO less than a week after he was fired by board 7 months ago:
I’m still wondering why he was even fired in the first place. I’d thought that perhaps I just hadn’t paid proper enough attention and missed the reason, but nope, no reason was ever given.
- Comment on It shouldn't matter if people work multiple jobs. The former VP of HR at Microsoft shares how to react to double dippers — 'get over it.' 7 months ago:
Considering that it is apparently possible to be in charge of like 6 different companies at once and still spend your entire day shitposting on Twitter, corporate fatcats obviously aren’t actually supposed to do anything productive as part of their day-to-day tasks.
- Comment on God of War is coming to GOG 7 months ago:
Really? Huh, the about page still claims everything’s DRM free. Got any examples, so I know which games to not buy?
- Comment on How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose? 8 months ago:
Do it in the shower.
- Comment on Scottish independence to be on ballot paper at general election as SNP approves new strategy 8 months ago:
Is this the fabled Scexit?
- Comment on After decades of climate deception, Shell uses Fortnite to court demographic most concerned about climate change 8 months ago:
Never got the appeal of paying to watch internet randos faff about to begin with, so screw streamers in general?
- Comment on Musk refused to testify in Twitter stock probe — After being sued by SEC, says he wants US regulators to be punished 8 months ago:
What a fuckwit.
- Comment on We've been jammed! 8 months ago:
Raspberry! Only one man would dare give me raspberry! (lowers mask) Lonestar!
- Comment on Epic's Layoffs Should Be Blamed On A Quixotic Pursuit Of The Metaverse 8 months ago:
Because of Metaverse? Wow, that’s just sad.
Of course, I’ve got an Epic account specifically for the weekly giveaways, and have spent no money of my own (because fuck paying for DRM if I don’t have to). So I guess I’m also part of their problem? Meh.
- Comment on It's Official, Antimatter Falls Down in Gravity, Not Up 8 months ago:
I wouldn’t have thought it would, since from my recollection antimatter is distinguished by having the same mass but opposite electrical charge, which shouldn’t affect how it responds to gravity. But it’s always good to have confirmation.
- Comment on In The Empire Strikes Back, why does Han significantly outrank Luke? 9 months ago:
To muddy the waters even further, I will note that it’s also tradition to refer to whoever is in charge of a ship or aircraft as captain, regardless of actual military rank (or even if they’re just civilians). And as Han Solo will tell you with great emphasis, the Millennium Falcon is his ship, and he is her captain.
- Comment on I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but … 9 months ago:
Really wish they’d exempted the Master Sword from the durability mechanic, especially given how much effort it takes before you can even get it (I think it’s something like ~80/120 shrines or else it kills you?) and how not OP it is in actual practice.
- Comment on Neuralink’s human trials volunteers ‘should have serious concerns,’ say medical experts 9 months ago:
Didn’t Neuralink fail animal testing? Something about most of their monkeys dying from the trials? How did this get to human testing?
- Comment on Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' 9 months ago:
Is this the new Chevy Chase?
