youtube is a lot like telephone scammers.
The only winning move is to not to play, because anything you do just confirms existence and worsens experience.

I really fucking hate that, too. The algorithm is so fucking vile and evil.
I cant even watch the content i want to watch on youtube, like fishing and guns (with the exception of forgotten weapons and InRange, which the algorithm doesnt seem to view as gateways to right wing indoctrination), because if I so much as hover my mouse over one of the thumbnails of that kind of content, I immediately get blasted with 3 months of right wing extremist pseudo-intellectual diarrhea that I cant escape without completely resetting my browser.
but if I spend an evening watching retrogaming stuff? Oh fuck, Youtube just completely ignores that and pretends it never saw me show interest in that.

PirateSoftware is an enormous cunt.
And he makes no effort to hide it.
I genuinely don’t understand why he has such a rabid fanbase.

A good deal of CEOS are psychopaths or sociopaths.
They get elevated cause they are masters of manipulation, are capable of oozing massive amounts of false charisma, and have zero fucks about cutting down and hurting anyone in their way.
Which explains a lot of corporatism

The thing that kills me, is that there would have been more Hannibal if NBC and Amazon (Which had the streaming rights) werent complete dicks about selling the show and impossible deadline demands from Amazon if they picked it up.

Sounds like it would veer kinda close to Hannibal.
On that topic, I miss Hannibal. Mads Mikkelsen is an amazing Hannibal… and Gillian Anderson was in it!

We’re soon going to end up back in the early/mid 90s where the only way to find something is via a internet yellowpages… only this time, not because search engines dont exist yet, but because they are completely worthless garbage.
- Comment on Florida sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: ‘We will kill you dead’ 1 week ago:
This guy is basically waxing poetic about his hopes and dreams to violently brutalize the communities hes supposed to protect, and I guaranfuckingtee you, given the polices penchant for escalation peaceful interaction into violent hysteria, that it wont take firebombs, bricks, or anything else for them to start killing people.
All it’ll take is one hurt feefee. Which is pretty much all it ever takes for cops to start brutalizing and killing the innocent.

if ublock origin stops working, you can erase your youtube cookies or wait a few hours for a ublock origin update to work around it.

What a fucking shithole company.

This is why we don’t need vaccines.
We just need gradual exposure to a lesser form of bullshit, so we can develop immunity to the greater whole of bullshit!

- Comment on Tango Gameworks is back with a new look... and a new website! 3 weeks ago:
I can 100% see where you are coming from, and understand your position on it.
but I, personally, liked all the extra stuff to do, cause it let me take breaks from the story lines and fuck around whenever I wanted. Not saying you are wrong, or that I am right… Just a different preference. We can be, and both are, right for our perspectives of the game and how we wanted to play it.

the british have to be the most over sensitive people on the planet, for some of the shit I’ve seen them complain about that made the news cycle.

I feel so old that genesis isnt on that list.
- Comment on Console war, console war never changes 3 weeks ago:
Its expensive, and over priced, and you don’t own it despite buying it.

He still wont be buying games. He’ll buying a cart with a key that will allow him to access leased games, for so long as nintendo decides to run the service.

Phillips is identified, in muricuh, by just the cross pattern hole.
JIS is a cross patterned hole, with a separate round indentation in one of the cross corners.
They are very close to each other, but not exact, and can round eachother out.

Right now is where it should have been on release.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 3 weeks ago:
CP2077 was not finished when it came out at the end of 2020.
This revisionist history of it being complete on release will get no traction here.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 3 weeks ago:
I don’t care.
Shut up about the game.
Don’t fucking say a thing about it until its like 6 months from launch.
Did they learn nothing from last time?!
- Comment on Half-Life 3 Has Been Designed to be ‘The Final Chapter’, It’s Claimed 3 weeks ago:
I want to know how Half Life ends. I couldnt give a shit about fan shit. Some of its good and engaging, not putting it down, but its not relative to the current issue… I want the conclusion to the fucking story I paid for and got massively invested in, in 2004. That I bought the next chapters of in 2006 and 2007.
Two things piss me off like nothing else when it comes to media.
Stories that start, leave you on a cliffhanger and never finish.
and Stories that are amazing all the way up until the end, when someone just decides to squeeze a big fat wet turd out and said good enough (Fucking mass effect…)
I’d rather spend 18 years being blueballed and cockteased by Bea Arthur.
