Has anyone liimed into these horses??
Looks at keyboard
Ok, I guess that could make sense
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 day ago:
Your title says “What are in you are top 3 favourite games of all time”.
You were thinking of “your”, which is possessive. “You’re” is a contraction of “you” and “are”; the apostrophe is a hint there.
- Comment on What’s the best written Pokémon game? 1 week ago:
Probably a Mystery Dungeon game. I’d go with Gen 5, having not played it on ages, for a mainline game.
Scarlet/Violet was surprisingly decent, at least in the end-game.
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 1 week ago:
Interesting! Maybe it’s a similar situation on Steam, but the payment providers demanded the platforms act immediately (or at least too soon for them to make such changes).
Or maybe Steam gets too many chargebacks on NSFW games and is ok with this? Lol
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 1 week ago:
I don’t get why the gaming platforms are removing games instead of removing the objecting payment providers as a payment option for purchasing those particular games.
I think the issue isn’t that the payment providers don’t want to support the purchase of those games with their card. They want to stop offering their services to a platform that sells those games.

Not every single piece of art goes into a museum
- Comment on "We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal 1 week ago:
Haha, it wasn’t the end of the sentence, but I don’t think the rest of the sentence meaningfully changed that particular clause!

Rape and incest ain’t for me but I take serious offense when they get banned

- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 1 week ago:
You can be child-free and still be married. Anyway.
A wise thing to do is for men to have their own “Tea” type of app to balance things out. I see no reason not to.
This would probably be an equal breach of privacy for less gain.
Female Tea (if used properly) is about protecting women from being abused.
Male Tea would probably be more about flagging girls that want expensive dates and don’t put out.
Like, sure, go ahead. Have a male Tea app. But the stakes are not the same.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 1 week ago:
“What about” is a fantastic way to breed apathy when people are protesting something. You’re doing nothing for any of those causes with this comment. You’re making things worse for all of those causes, plus the one this post is about. And your comment only tangentially relates to the Community this post is in…
- Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life? 1 week ago:
Did a whole bunch of different things. Stopped doing things I didn’t like when I had the security (money, support, etc.) to do so.

Ok fine. Dark Voice “Sacrifice the men! It’s for the greater good!”
Do you really think that’s the alternative here?
I can’t tell if you’re putting on a bit based on your username or something…
- Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what that has to do with the comment above yours, but you’re comparing men becoming “essentialy undatable” to women being raped. Perhaps unknowingly.

Your username has a typo
- Comment on Fan hacks Animal Crossing to make it compatible with GameCube Keyboard Controller and much more 3 weeks ago:
The GC didn’t have a keyboard, so it was useful for MMORPGs. Not sure if I should be pluralizing that, though. It might’ve only been PSO.
- Comment on I'm setting up a Windows 11 laptop for my uncle. Is there a sneaky way to make it block right-wing bullshit websites? 3 weeks ago:
If he’s living with you, you could try to block it at the router/firewall level.
On the machine, I’d just make it really slow rather than block it outright. Make it as unpleasant as possible to access those sites without blocking them outright. Making them slow makes it look like the sites suck. Blocking them makes it look like you did it or some conspiracy thing.
But if he lives with you, blocking them from your network is perfectly ethical imo
- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition is free to claim on Epic 3 weeks ago:
I got the base game for free a few years ago.
I played and enjoyed it so much I bought the Platinum edition…on Steam, because it was cheaper there. (And other reasons, but this was the biggest one)
One of the few games I actually went out and bought thanks to Epic. I feel slightly bad for not buying from them, lol
- Comment on What was the first water level in a platformer? 4 weeks ago:
A lot of water levels in Platformers have swimming instead of platforms like the entire rest of the game does
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 4 weeks ago:
If it were the only option, I’d gladly take it.
I rely on robots to do a lot of other things in my life, directly and indirectly.
Well, not many directly. But machines, definitely.
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 4 weeks ago:
“impacts” has been in my vocabulary for as long as I remember, and it’s common to use it that way. The dictionaries even have that definition.
I’m not afraid of language evolving.
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 4 weeks ago:
If media can say “slammed” to mean “said something about”, I can use “impacted” to mean “affected”. Especially when we have the word “impactful”.
- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 5 weeks ago:
Yes.
And I see that you asked a different question in your post, too.
Yes to that, too.
- Comment on What are the games you played in your youth that you still play today? 5 weeks ago:
Most of them! Well, not regularly. But I love going back to the games and consoles of my earlier days.
My favourites are the 16-bit and early 32-bit eras

As a Canadian, I’d be upset if we got paywalled. The BBC is where I go to for trusted news on international concerns.
Understandable, but I’d still be upset.
- Comment on The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account. 1 month ago:
I actually like this. No politics. No big name personalities. No distractions.
Just a search bar to ASK me what I want to see before it tells me what it thinks I want to see.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around? 1 month ago:
If an ordered item arrives broken once, it’s a shitty delivery company. 1-star probably isn’t warranted unless the company is shitty about replacing it.
If an ordered item arrives broken regularly, it’s a problem that the company should’ve fixed.
If a game doesn’t work on one person’s machine, maybe they’ve got a bunch of malware installed or something.
If it doesn’t work on many people’s machines that meet the recommended specs, the company is at fault and deserves bad reviews.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around? 1 month ago:
If it runs poorly on the recommended specs, bad reviews are warranted.
