- Comment on Why tipping keeps rising and may not improve service 1 day ago:
Yeah fuck tipping. The very thought of having to deal with it keeps me from eating out at sit down restaurants more often than not.
Don’t get me started about tip screens when I’m picking up food to go.
- Comment on PUBG publisher Krafton creates new Chief AI Officer executive role as it continues its ‘AI First’ strategy 1 week ago:
These are the same assholes who screwed the subnautica devs out of their bonuses to fund AI slop. Watching themselves shot themselves in the foot in real time is oddly satisfying.

The only game I couldn’t wait for in the last 15 years was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. That shit broke down my walls in more ways than one 🥲

- Comment on Would the tart blueberries taste as good if you didn't have to randomly power through 3 to 5 bland ones between each good one? 3 weeks ago:
Blueberries from Peru, one of the largest exporters, are generally are mostly bland mush in my experience. I remember hearing in a podcast someone saying they mostly grew a particular variety that was well suited for the climate but didn’t taste as good as other varieties that thrive more in North America.
- Comment on me, being surprised at how good radishes are 3 weeks ago:
It was from a salad bar so it’s very likely the case
- Comment on me, being surprised at how good radishes are 3 weeks ago:
I ate a beet once and found it absolutely disgusting. They look really similar to radishes so i just assumed radishes tasted the same for the longest time until I had a real Mexican taco with radish. Now I fucken love radishes!
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve came to depend less on the visual cues which are often deceptive and more on the audio ones or counting in my head for dodges/parries. Also invest heavily (basically all your points) into defense/vitality which makes Dodge/Parry misses much more forgiving. Eventually, even if you do a smattering of side quests you’ll get powerful enough to basically ignore the timing mechanics altogether.
Also set it on story mode + auto QTEs. I did that on my first playthrough and had absolutely no regrets. The mechanics of the game are definitely secondary to the experience of the story.

You taking about krafton screwing the creators?

- Comment on XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Review and Retrospective- Is It Worth It In 2025? 5 weeks ago:
Agree 100%. Played updated X-Com 1 and 2 once through and thought they were fine but just that everything was too clean and on rails. I didn’t think those games provided any particularly memorable experiences for me.
I’m still playing the 90s version to this day because I remember this one dude who was the lone survivor out of his 12 man squad during an early terror mission that went south really fast. He quickly emptied his initial ammo loadout, had to run through enemy fire to scavenge weapons from his fallen comrades scattered across the map, and changed weapon types at least twice because there were no more rifle clips to be had anywhere on the map. He surprisingly finished that mission and carried on to the end of the game as a living God of war.
I still remember that shit to this day and keep playing with the hope that such an epic story will unfold again.
- Comment on Tyler Robinson and Luigi Mangione are a glaring example of how attractive people get treated against ones who are not attractive 1 month ago:
I think it has less to do with appearances than the popularity of issues/people they choose to pursue with their actions.
Luigi off’ed sometime pretty much universally reviled across political spectrums. Probably a good 80% of people could sympathize at least a little with what Luigi did. Every adult has probably had extensive personal experience dealing with the dysfunction of our healthcare system. Brian Thompson is just the personification of that.
Tyler did a perfect one-shot with the most hilarious timing on someone that was loathed by ~50% of the country and liked by the other ~50%.
The two issues in which have a fairly wide gap in universal appeal.

Well. You definitely sound like you’ve got a lot of experience not having friends :>
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 2 months ago:
The only game I’ve ever pre-ordered was FF3/6 but that was because you needed a physical cartridge in limited supply to play it back then.
Preordering a game you can download digitally is the height of stupidity unless you specifically want to give an interest free loan to a creator you really want to support

Big fan of Duckov myself too! The game is surprisingly chill for an extraction shooter and the humor in the game is pretty on point.

Published by Krafton, the same fucknuts that screwed the Subnautica 2 creators out of their $250 million dollar bonus to plot into some lame AI venture 🤮

- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 2 months ago:
I thought Blue Prince was one of the most innovative games of the year for sure and the story of it while subtle was very engaging.
It would have been nice to see it recognized somewhere! The Dev will just have to make do with the adoration of the legions of fans it has gathered for making an objectively awesome game :o
