- Comment on Does anyone else hate knowing stuff and looking "smart"? 2 days ago:
In a way yes. There are times when I am so sick of dealing with people who cannot organize their thoughts - it becomes just exhausting.
So consistently being the most analytical, on-the-ball, ahead of the curve, able to predict the future, able to see-through people within seconds of meeting them, being generally good at most things, adept automatically the first time I try anything… It’s a burden.
But at the same time I’m not so dumb to think I don’t choose this burden.

I went back and played The Dungeon about 15 years ago and I just about cried because it was so fucking bad by modern standards lol
- Comment on Could I render the computer-generated graphics from Toy Story (1995) in real time using a single modern home computer? 1 week ago:
Doubtful
I’m not talking out my ass, a good buddy of mine worked for frantic films for decades and I myself learned 3D alongside him… We would squabble over the rendering farm too…
Anyways most of the renderers made for those early movies were custom built. And anytime you custom build, you can’t generalize to output to a different system. So it’s a long way of saying no but maybe, if you wrote a custom renderer that was specifically designed to handle the architecture of the scenes and the art and the lighting and blah blah blah

The ones that do it for family and friends get away with it, the ones that get peppy and decide to start flogging groceries, etc on Fb Marketplace get watched. It’s really not something you want to try to profit from!!

All the word games in the world don’t change the underlying truth and you know it. McDonald’s is awful it’s not even food, music is similar, most of it is not really even music, the same way McDonald’s isn’t even food, it’s hyper engineered food ingredients. I know it hurts to accept that most popular music is dog shit but that’s the truth and you know it’s true.

Last year, it’s shit you’re not going to change my mind

I really don’t think I’m overstating things, I go back to the early 90s, I started with Harvard graphics and stuff like that… I have used so many damn image editing softwares, and I’ve even made a few of my own.
I’m honestly going to just plant my foot and say gimp is a misbegotten atrocious lump of shit from a UI perspective - a complete embarrassment, and a complete failure from any perspective of usability science
It is absolutely at the bottom of the pack of any piece of software I have ever used, it’s hard to pick up various heaps bunch of shit and decide what smells the worst, so I’m not going to say it’s the worst, but it’s floating at the bottom of the septic tank
I cannot believe that people continue to step up and defend it, it’s garbage.
- Comment on Hot take: Get your game reviews from gamers, not from collectors 1 week ago:
I disagree.
Just in the same way we can point to McDonald’s and say there is nothing good about it from a food perspective; that it barely even qualifies as food…
We can say the same thing about music. There is music that is so devoid of any kind of artistic output and merit, that no one could say it’s good. We are still listening to musical grades, but in 30 years, nobody will have a clue who Nikki Manaj is

Quit talking out of your ass. I spent decades in professional multimedia design, people who start with garbage tools immediately move on to good ones as soon as they have them available. I know it’s hurting you for some reason I don’t know why… Gimp is garbage.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
Gimp is what happens when programmers think that they can design things

Omfg…
Yesssssss. Our entire family loved The Dungeon so much. My father wrote a letter to the developers and got a response, with excited descriptions of upcoming games in the series that never came to be. The producer or developer, or whoever wrote him back was bragging about how the next game would have characters you could actually see while in combat!

IMO WinRAR was only ever did one useful thing and that was breaking up files into arbitrary sizes for USENET theft
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
Yeah gimp is atrocious in terms of UI/UX
Nobody with a clue about graphics would ever recommend gimp
It has always been a piece of sh… going back 20 years already

I’m just here to tell you that anybody that says to talk to a lawyer is a jackass and is talking out their ass.
You do not deal with these matters in regular civil court, these are handled directly through whatever tenany board is in your region. Start by contacting them and ignore all the other nonsense about contacting attorneys, it’s a waste of time because all the attorney will tell you to do is to contact the tenancy board.

- Comment on What actually came first? The chicken or the egg? 3 weeks ago:
This conversation has been swirling since forever, and the answer is that both came first
It really comes down to the fact that we have arbitrary scientific conventions, and we have to slot everything into its little hole
It is impossible to make the determination, outside of the human perspective, which came first
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’m being hard on myself, I think I’m being hard on the general population of Canada. Most people here are just what I said, overprivileged shit pieces
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 3 weeks ago:
I would like to correct the gut-brain connection. 95% of the time our gut tells our brain that it wants something, and it’s trying to say it wants water, but the brain hears that the gut is hungry.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 3 weeks ago:
As a Canadian, I can declaratively say that our reputation for being polite is bogus. As a whole, we are a shitty, privileged, nasty group of people. Our country is built on colonialism and genocide, so you can only imagine what a shit pot this is.

People love to make exaggerated statements on the internet for attention but I can say very truly that the spirit of the people changed me inside and it helped start my sobriety journey

I really don’t know what you’re looking for here. I mean what do you want us to say It’s a speed??
I guess if I can add something meaningful, it’s so fast that no human can ever respond to an unexpected situation or hazard in time and you’re dead. Don’t ever go that speed for any reason.

I’m not sure why you feel the need to make such a statement and try to be rude to me when I have meticulously explained, to anybody who with an intelligent mind, specifically why I don’t want to talk about this but you need to push
So how about this, I’ll save the bother and just block you :)
You are literally the type of person that I want to avoid in these kind of conversations, that’s why I go at it things the way I do, but you’re too emotionally confused to get it
Look in the mirror, and realize you haven’t added a single thing here
Bye-bye blocked

Bro that’s just one incident in three decades of madness
I’m not lying when I tell you I was at the top top bro
I changed the world with my technology
And when you know what’s what, you are sick to your stomach
- Comment on The Video Game Industry Failed Monolith Productions. 4 weeks ago:
Truthfully, no. I was a really top level fucker in the industry and let me tell you man… It’s a vicious game, and even thinking about things that happened 30 years ago are causing my hairs to stand on end right now even though I’m sitting with a nice warm espresso in a sunbeam smoking a joint.
I’m going to copy and paste from a previous answer. Please do me the courtesy of not asking any questions about my history in the game industry, because I will go off like a f’king neutron bomb. It will be real but it will be ugly. I mean ask if you want, but you’ll get the fuck beaten out of you and you won’t like it and it’ll explode things that you thought were real and they aren’t.
“They were contracted to design the (edit: low-level coin op hardware, etc) API for our new Internet-enabled touchscreen gaming network kiosks (world first at the time) and they were fucking useless. And then had the gall to present the piece of shit at the CGDG 1997, as a half-finished completely non-functional, but presented it like it was their own product and not a massive NDA violation. Presented like their own product which could be generically extended to other platforms. Fuck you Matt. Fuck you Monolith you fucking cunts.”

I will always appear to tell Monolith to go fuck themselves, and dance on their graves.
Fuck you Matt, fuck you Monolith. You fucked our company over, stole our technology, presented it at the game developer conference like it was yours - dealing with you Matt was the worst two fucking years of my life you big sack of hihly-incomprtant bloated shit.

I was given a smart watch yesterday
I wore it for 20 minutes and immediately gave it to a crack addict
All the fking doodads that exist nowadays are just trash - I literally cannot comprehend why anybody wants them in their life! They do not really seem to add anything, they’re just a meaningless trifling distraction and another shiny toy that ends up in the trash heap, as far as I can see

I truly feel sorry for anybody that is in the not sweet spot I guess the sour spot of not being able to select the vehicle of their choice due to economic factors, and being forced to buy one of these used pieces of shit that is replete with garbage technology that does not serve the user in any meaningful way. Oh my God, I’ve never one from that generation and I never will, and I consider myself blessed. Just operating a microwave nowadays is torture, give me a fucking chunky button and let me press the fucking thing.
