- Comment on Obsidian Entertainment Faces Class-Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Wage and Hour Violations to Falsely Increase Profits 2 weeks ago:
Rather damning that the company fought back saying “those employees weren’t denied lunch breaks and overtime, they willingly forsake them!”
Hope management rots.

I was just thinking how useful that would be in the Steam Next Fest thing. So much slop to filter out!

- Comment on "We have found ourselves over extended", new Xbox CEO says amid reports of plans for major job cuts 4 weeks ago:
Microsoft has no idea what it means to make good games. They’re just making decisions based on budget numbers and trying to come up with the words after to justify it.
These two hardly sound human in the quotes. How can they make games for people? They forgot how to be people!
Microsoft is trying to be an AI slop company and they’ll get exactly that, utter slop.
- Comment on "We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game 4 weeks ago:
Oh sorry I misunderstood, I thought you meant you didn’t recognize the symbols.
I totally get skimming a marketing email and missing something in the subject line.

That’s wild to me, this is something that was covered in my American history class. Not nazi symbology specifically, but we were shown plenty of images that featured the SS bolts. They’re also commonplace in movies and media set then.
- Comment on Star Trek: Outposts Unknown's demo introduces an upbeat settlement builder, though my crew of clocking-out ship slackers wouldn't last a day in RimWorld 5 weeks ago:
…weird concept for a Trek game.
Dunno about this one

Oh, lemme be clear, I don’t. Especially together, it’s absurd to claim ignorance.

In a way, I can understand not being familiar with the black sun, but the SS bolts is really fucking well known

“Or refined” doing some heavy lifting here
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch' 6 months ago:
Didn’t they say similar shit about tracking, too? Then they backtracked that with later updates?
It sucks to see, but I think Firefox is going down the shitter.
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 1 year ago:
Yeah, but I didn’t remember it being specific about the injury. Also it’s fun to say “Worf kicked a kid in half”

He kicked a kid in half

Worf is a racist misogynistic deadbeat dad and its amazing he’s tolerated.
Rewatching Birthright had me absolutely disgusted with Worf “falling in love” with like a 16 year old he peeps on bathing in a pond then saying “you’re an abomination” when he finds out she’s half romulan

They’re all relatively mad compared to the rest of the population of the UFP.
In a post scarcity socialist utopia, the people we see on screen are almost exclusively a group of folks that when offered the chance to do whatever they wanted they decided some of the most dangerous occupations imaginable. Where death is on the line almost daily due to unforeseen consequences.
They coulda ran a restaurant, researched their passion projects on a Starbase, lounged about eternally and they decided to expose themselves to weekly hazards no one could have possibly predicted.
Anyone in Star Fleet is kind of addicted to danger innit
