Well, like skin, of course. :V
- Comment on Avocado 2 days ago:
I’ve handled both avocados and my own penis plenty of times.
- Comment on Avocado 2 days ago:
Wat?
Pretty sure my penis is made of skin, and not avocado.
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 3 days ago:
It’s not just limited to games…
We see it most prevalently in games because the gaming industry is massive. But this can also happen to your car… Or your fridge…
Here’s a fun story:
There were these few blind people who volunteered to have cybernetic implants that would help them (partially) see. The company went under, the patent is held by a patent troll, but the people still have those implants in their head… Which have now either shut down or are malfunctioning…
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 3 days ago:
Oh for fuck sake, this has never been a good argument, and people who keep repeating these argument-questions (almost like they’re a copy paste) either never read what Stop Killing Games demands, or lack the reading comprehension necessary to understand it.
The third option would be malicious sabotage, but I’m hoping it’s just one of the two stupidity options.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 days ago:
But that would be great! Let’s start an awesome exploration of a very existential topic. Certainly better and more interesting that talking about shopping.
- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 4 days ago:
No, I’m one of those “I hate double standards” type of people.
- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 5 days ago:
Yes… Because all those games where you play as some American grunt fighting in the middle East is something totally different and not comparable at all.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 days ago:
I’d say games that have set the standard for their genre, and have not been surpassed, would be the only ones that count.
- Half Life 1 and then again with 2
- Half Life Alyx
- Age of Empires II
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Warframe
- Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando
- Knights of the Old Republic
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Crash Bandicoot: Warped
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and then again with Tears of the Kingdom
- Elden Ring
- Hollow Knight
- Dirt Rally
- The World Ends With You (the original NDS version)
- Comment on Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry 5 days ago:
If asking for permission is going to kill an industry, then that industry should be killed.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
The only condition under which I wouid ever consider getting a neural implant, is if the implant and its software is open source.
Any closed source thing you stick in your brain will ultimately doom you.
Besides that, there’d also actually have to be a purpose. As it stands now, cybernetics isn’t advanced enough to turn me into a full cyborg, so probably never in my lifetime.
- Comment on Vampires are from Jersey 1 week ago:
Except it doesn’t work that way. It’s not about wordplay, but the esoteric power of being explicitly invited.
- Comment on The answer to the The Problem of Evil could just be that "god" has a totally different definition of evil. 1 week ago:
I haven’t watched TV in nearly 20 years, and it’s still the first thing that pops in my head when a bunch of "maybe"s are listed off.
Now you get to suffer with me! :V
- Comment on The answer to the The Problem of Evil could just be that "god" has a totally different definition of evil. 1 week ago:
Morality is only made complex because humans like inserting their ego into things.
No, all morality is are the behaviours that benefit us as a social species, put to language and culture.
Why is rape bad? Theft bad? Indiscriminate killing bad? Because if we did these things we’d be unable to use our unique species’ power to overcome hardships and thrive; creating and maintaining social groups that allow for the division of tasks.

Or maybe she’s born with it.
Or maybe it’s maybaline.
- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 1 week ago:
I see a lot of drama here in the thread, people decrying data leaks, how Discord is very very bad, and a number of people wanting the “good old days” of forums.
Yes. I like forums too, but, uh…
These researchers scraped publicly posted messages. Keyword here being “public”. How would anything similarly public, like a forum, be better?
I actually remember the times when forums were at their peak. I hung out on BZPower for Bionicle things, and the Relic News Forum for Homeworld modding. You know what they had? Google bots that scraped messages, looked for certain words, and populated websites with advertisements based on what it could scrape from forums.
Pretty sure Lemmy doesn’t do encryption either, unless there’s some very special, private Lemmy server that nobody has access to. So the researchers could’ve just as well scraped the fediverse.
- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 1 week ago:
But I want something like Discord. Just lot corporate owned…
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Yeah, so, you can still add “very” in front of all these words, so check-mate! :V
- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 2 weeks ago:
I’m OK with not being a “real fan”.
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 2 weeks ago:
The fuck are you smoking? Never heard of a thermos can? Small carry bags to fit it and some lunch (sandwich, piece of fruit)?
Or has that become so foreign and alien to you that you just can’t fathom how any of that is possible?
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 2 weeks ago:
Here in Copenhagen Starbucks has had trouble opening up shop as well. We have quite a few street corner or park trolly baristas, as well as a local chain called Joe and the Juice.
Starbucks now finally has one or two places locked down over here, but it was pretty funny to see a Starbucks popping up, only for it to be replaced with a Joe and the Juice 6 months later.
- Comment on Sony blocks Stellar Blade on more than 100 countries 2 weeks ago:
I intend to.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 weeks ago:
Don’t forget about that one time Epic gave away an indie game for free… On the week it launched… Without consulting the devs.
- Comment on Star Citizen’s new cash shop offerings provoked fresh pay-to-win and predatory monetization accusations | Massively Overpowered 2 weeks ago:
Weird huh? Before this article I really couldn’t tell. But I think they might be on to something…
- Comment on Star Citizen’s new cash shop offerings provoked fresh pay-to-win and predatory monetization accusations | Massively Overpowered 2 weeks ago:
And there isn’t even a game yet.
X4 is more game than Star Citizen. Elite Dangerous is more game than Star Citizen. Both these games are still getting updates that expand and build upon their mechanics. But the time Star Citizen becomes 1.0, these other games will have already surpassed it.
Hell, graphically Star Citizen used to be cutting edge… Like nearly 10 years ago. Now it just looks kinda “normal”.
- Comment on Bungie confirms it stole art once again, will undertake a 'thorough review' of Marathon assets 2 weeks ago:
The best thing about Marathon is the shortfilm. Watch that. Then ignore the game.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 - Galactic Emergency Trailer 2 weeks ago:
It absolutely works on Linux.
- Comment on No movie has a bigger cultural impact than Final Destination 2 2 weeks ago:
Meh. This is the first ice heard of this in a very very long time.
I’d argue The Matrix Trilogy, Monty Python abd the Quest for the Holy Grail, and the Lord if the Rings Trilogy have had far greater cultural impacts. They’re referenced quite a lot, especially The Matrix.
- Comment on WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere 2 weeks ago:
Sure but… I’m subscribed to Humble Monthly. So instead of getting a CD with a magazine containing a bunch of demos, I get a bunch of keys for full games. A lot of them pretty neat indies.
For gaming news… Well, on Lemmy there’s this guy.
- Comment on Based 3 weeks ago:
Having an attraction =/= having a fetish.
Also, such a weird backwards idea… “fetishizing people of colour”.
