- Comment on Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion? 1 week ago:
So I’m going to come at this from a different perspective because I’ve put a lot of thought in to this topic in other ways. I’m vegan, meaning I do not buy, consume or use any animal products, which obviously includes leather or fur. However since I am not financially supporting those industries by paying for those products and the perpetuation of animal abuse practices, I consider it moral for me to buy those items 2nd hand.
However I do not, for two big reasons:
- Ew. It’s literally skin. That’s so gross. I don’t want to touch leather, let alone wear it.
- The perception of those viewing me, I don’t want to be seen as a person that pays for fur and leather. Wearing an item is tacit endorsement of the item to everyone who views you, strangers included.
So to bring it back around, yes you can thrift fast fashion ethically. So long as you understand that anyone who recognize it as fast fashion, will reasonably think you buy fast fashion and support the industry. Up to you if that’s something you are comfortable with it.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 2 weeks ago:
I firmly believe the only reason this game is “beloved” is the same reason that iPhones sell just because of the logo of the company that made them.
It’s more nostalgia than branding. I’ll entirely agree that half life hasn’t aged great, but what’s important is the historical context. The games were groundbreaking for the time, especially HL2 with its physics engine and gravity gun. I remember playing it just days after release then being shocked and amazed at those different systems. There just weren’t many games with that level of polish tackling such a wide scope.
Just like with watershed TV/movie/music, it seems quaint and overhyped as their innovations become the norm.

Zero disagreement with any of that. It’s a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.
Burn it all dowm. 🔥🇺🇸🔥

This is one of those situations where you’re correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don’t regularly play games or can’t afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.

Yup, you’re entirely correct, Obsidian is often and loudly praised, they deserve it. But also…
… they deserve a lil more… always a lil’ more!
(I’m just being silly and dum. I have just recently started their games and just wanted to sing their praises myself. Don’t mind me, just a lil fan girling out about great world building. 🥹)
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 1 month ago:
Obsidian as a studio is super underrated. Both pillars of eternity has amazing worldbuilding and narrative. They aren’t unknown or anything, but gotdang they are some of the most creative devs out there!
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 1 month ago:
Please don’t giving money to people who explicitly use it to perscuit, harass and roll back the rights of a minority group. There are so many other games, give your business to anyone else.
- Comment on Why We're Boycotting Xbox (and Maybe You Should Too) - People Make Games 1 month ago:
Xbox itself, sure. But this boycott is for the larger war crimes that Microsoft is abetting via surveillance, storage and AI informed bombing in palestine. The corporation itself isn’t rotting, but a thriving pumpkin patch.
So much so that nearly all businesses and much government run and rely on Windows. Which is why Xbox in particular is being targeted. It’s a strictly consumer product that is not strictly nessecary with substitutions available.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 1 month ago:
You’re right, tradition is a poor reason for anything, abundantly agree. However this is an incredibly pedantic topic to deploy that argument. You’re taking a trueism and applying it to something with such low stakes that it becomes a little silly.
Which is why you’re getting so much push back. You’re repeating the same truth, but that’s not relevant to why people are down voting and sassing ya.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 1 month ago:
It’s fiction, not reality. I agree its a lot, I looked away a bit, but ya don’t have to be judgemental when no one was ACTUALLY hurt.

- Comment on ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack? 2 months ago:
Because sugar, fat and salt in those quantities are literally addictive. Our human/monkey brains were wired for survival, not overall health. Eating a large source of those three would’ve been a massive help in surviving winter when our next meal wouldn’t be guaranteed.

Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.
In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.

Prounon stolen valor isn’t a thing. And yelling at folk trying to gatekeep it as such is far more harmful to our community than any amount of “virtue signaling” from those you deem unworthy.

So, lemme get this straight. You’re saying things have changed, which is why we need AI to repeat things people are already saying.
lol
- Comment on Same shit!!!!!!!!! 3 months ago:
Comparisons between MAGA, Nazis and confederacy have been prevalent for the last decade. Nothing about this is new, original or even interesting. AI slop saying true things is still low effort derivative AI slop. It’s not helpful in the slightest.

I don’t read much manga, so perhaps this is a common title but “Inside Mari” resonated with me on a substantial level. I only know of it from being posted about it in a few trans spaces. If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend to going in blind. It seems very standard body swap, until it’s not.
- Comment on [Game Bundle] Duo of Justice: Ace Attorney and Mega Man 5 months ago:
So I’m not inekn megs man, platfroer shooters are super not my thing. But after loving Paradise Killer I think detective games just might be, but I’ve never played any of the Ace games, any suggestions on which is a good entry point to the series? Is there an overall story of are the games self contained?
