Fine, females, fine, fellas. Alliteration, my dude? “Wonderful on women, worse on… Whitey?” “Great for girls (er…), garish on guys” “Mejor para mujeres, es peor para papas”
Yeah, there’s better ways to do it but it’s more effort than anyone should put in to a shit post.
- Comment on Fucking math... 1 week ago:
Yeah, this will be so helpful when I’m trying to figure out 20% of 36.23!
Look, move the decimal one to the left, you’ve now got 10%. Double that and you’ve got 20%. How often are y’all trying to find out percentages of nice even numbers like that?
- Comment on YSK - the crazy questions all jobs on usajobs.gov now ask 1 week ago:
Federal Jobs are (previously) stable and offer good benefits. Pay is lower but you get guaranteed days off and clear expectations for work.

- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue that is a totally valid way of playing - half the game is designing homes after all. A quarter is doing the life sim thing and the other quarter is removing ladders from pools.

So, you did ask for this?
- Comment on The Steam Controller's stick is upgradeable! 2 weeks ago:
I played 200 hours of MGSV with the Steam Controller. I love it.
I hate playing Xcom with the Steam controller which, arguably, it should be better at.
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 3 weeks ago:
I would call myself JD too if my parents named me Jerkin Dapenis as well.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 4 weeks ago:
Yakuza 0 is with it but then you have to play Yakuza 1-6 and then you put the games down and get gifted Yakuza 7 so now you have to beat 4 through 6 and they just announced Kiwami 3 so you’ll probably want to compare that to 3 remastered and next thing you know you’ve bought Yakuza Dead Souls and you’re questioning your life.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 4 weeks ago:
Like, I’m sure Spider-Man is good but it’s still $60 and ‘only’ on a 50% sale? You can get it for $15 at GameStop.

Does… Does that mean he kills them after?
Because I could see that.
- Comment on Dinner is ready! 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, D gets you at least four entirely different types of cuisine and Australian stuff will still have that Euro/American vibe. Only downside is you’ll technically be allowed to eat Vegemite.
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 5 weeks ago:
Goes both ways, buy the homies a gift.
Also, know their birthdays and things.
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 5 weeks ago:
I have games on my wishlist from 2015. Almost a decade at this point.
My wishlist exists more to let Internet friends know what to get me when they feel like it.
- Comment on political debate 1 month ago:
Yeah, apparently HR has some issues with “I would slice a Nazis head off for free, don’t even ask me what I’d pay to do it.”
- Comment on Senators Press Amazon’s Bezos on Unfair Scheduling Practices Hurting Workers: Amazon’s “just-in-time” scheduling leaves hourly workers with volatile schedules, uncertain paychecks 1 month ago:
Yeah, my thought exactly, I doubt Wawa has a fancy term for it but it’s better than all your staff coming in or calling on Thursday to see if next week’s schedule is posted.

It’s ‘humane’ to shoot the deer in the heart! You’re not supposed to give the deer a rectal exam with them!

I mean, it’s an Office reference first and foremost.
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 1 month ago:
I had someone say “Well, yours doesn’t do ads” and, in the year of 5 manufacturers pumping out 10 different SKUs a year, we had the same model phone.
I said “Yours doesn’t have to, if you set it up that way.”
The answer? “Well, c’mon, play the video.”
Like, yeah, let’s just brush past the… What? Five or six tap solution? And before anyone asks, not a romantic opening. Generally people don’t make passes at bridge trolls who evangelize for open source software.

Just use Firefox Mobile to watch YouTube.
Ad blocking through uBO and can enable playing with locked screen.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 1 month ago:
Steam, Switch, GOG - I even buy it for my friends!
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 2 months ago:
Killing people is fine but you realize a ton of early hip-hop and West Coast rap was explicitly about not loving the homies, right? Even Superman didn’t get a pass on Rapper’s Delight…
- Comment on Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout? 2 months ago:
It’s weird but they are all different. I’ve never had an issue where I see an Xbox X and hit the PS X. Normally if a game wants X(PS Flavour) the X itself is blue, potentially with a black circle around it. If a game shows you an X(Xbox Flavour) it shows a blue circle with a different blue X inside. Nintendo generally just shows a top button glyph or if they do show the X it’s usually monochrome, except for Americana flavoured SNES which was just top purple and since GC had the vertical kidney bean X… Well, Nintendo only recently became a problem I suppose.
So, basically, the in-game glyphs do differentiate themselves.

Stellantis is a Dutch group. If we head to Michigan and get the CEO, they’ll just appoint a new one… Unless you’re suggesting the Americans invade the Netherlands…
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
I did play a bunch of BFV but I wouldn’t say I liked it more than 1942. My time spent on BFV was mostly mucking about with friends which was probably the ideal way to play that one.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
BF3 was certainly really good but maybe I can show my age by saying 1942 and Vietnam were at the very least the start of the plateau, if not the real peak.

Plenty of dudes did both. A furry is the guy who designed pilots cooling systems for their suits…
Because he made it for a fur suit first.
- Comment on GOG.com gives away free horny games to protest credit card company censorship 2 months ago:
That’s Postal 2 - I think an early day of the week like day 2. Having to go to the mall and wait in line.
- Comment on RPGs that are optionally pacifist? 2 months ago:
Twin Snakes was an MGS1 remake - MGS2 was never on the GC but Substance was it’s first console release on Xbox to my knowledge.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 3 months ago:
I trust my family. Trust them enough that they have the passcode to my phone and can easily open it at any time.
But I’m not sharing location. How will I sneak out to buy gifts if they get a notification when I leave work? Nope.
