  Not really. Most Americans are horrible people. Savages, what we used to think animals were like. We thrive off of self interested cruelty, but don’t even have the intelligence to be self interested about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It could probably be worth it to keep an active eye on your data even if it remains roughly the same. To keep an established base line, to keep an eye out for changes in environment in specific areas, to monitor the effects of aging, to sell you shit when your eye gets damaged. Probably other evil shit too, or just the paranoid urge to surveil people for no damn reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Selling data on people is a lucrative business. Although it is a business and not UBI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Multiplayer stealing sim Thick As Thieves lets you leave snide calling cards when you beat people to the loot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Cannot wait, thievery is the coolest crime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian trial says tech for social media teen ban can work⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  … Did this just imply that the blocking measures are effective on children who comply with blocking measures? No shit Sherlock, the systems already in place of politely asking you to give your age are effective on people who accurately give their age. Not that that is the main issue, but still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 won't be "making jokes every minute", because it's set in a totalitarian world⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a bit too late to move away from stupid. Sure it didn’t start there but it’s kinda there now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social media now main source of news in US, research suggests⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My first response was ‘that’s bad’ but it makes sense with the oldmedia being as captured as it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods is under new ownership⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s wild that the cishet conservatives think they can just claim to be queer and that we’ll have to believe them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real reasons people do not have the number of children they want revealed in new report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if your brain tricks you into caring with a chemical cocktail to rival any drug being fear mongered about, if you aren’t already high the entire prospect of parenthood seems awful. From destroying your body to forcing you to entirely reorientate your life around a burden that can’t even sleep without dying. Especially in an era kids can’t even walk down the street alone without some Karen calling the cops, you can’t even catch a break after they are old enough to exist independently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real reasons people do not have the number of children they want revealed in new report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Better yet, offer no strings attached income. For everyone. We have a lot of jobs that don’t really need to exist and it’s entirely senseless to force people to do bullshit work. We gotta escape this nonsense cultural dead end that says work is some noble purpose.

  Now that is an objectively true position that will never get traction in our hellworld.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real reasons people do not have the number of children they want revealed in new report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A plateauing population is a good thing! Growth is not a good thing! I don’t get how people don’t understand this. If something is going up forever it will eventually collapse spectacularly, if it’s stable instead it’ll stay stable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wizards of the Coast will make "CRPGs that are going to be as serious as BG3", and their D&D action game wants to be the stuff of gelatinous cube dreams⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh huh. Sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK police roll out armoured cars 'tried and tested on Palestinians'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s real disheartening to see other places following America’s lead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dandelion Void from Project Zomboid modders will offer up plant-based horrors⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, i wonder if there will be a giant baby to fight! Either way I’m in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greenpeace steals Macron wax figure for anti-Moscow protest⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, hold on, there is no way in hell that figure is work 40k euros.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate IP overlords Wizards of the Coast reveal a new Dungeons & Dragons single-player action adventure⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who really cares, tho? BG3 was good in spite of dnd, not because of it, and frankly i don’t think most developers can make anything good out of that trainwreck of a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Persona 4 Remake Is Apparently Happening, As Voice Actor Confirms He's Not Coming Back For It⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, that makes me wonder if p5 has any actual translation errors. Most of the stuff i saw when it released was bitter localizer complaining about good choices, so i just assumed there was nothing real to complain about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now I think SOA was not even that bad.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SAO was bad, but it’s copycats are terrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA shut down studio they opened less than two years ago, cancel Black Panther game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very strong success strategy right there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Woodside boss says young people ‘ideological’ on fossil fuels while ‘happily ordering from Temu’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  … Wouldn’t online shopping be vastly better for the environment? Getting cheap Chinese junk into a market probably has the same climate impact no matter how it was bought, but a single delivery driver going to a few dozen houses is better than a few dozen cars on the road. Although i guess that’s from my experience in a demon country that makes it impossible to go places on foot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey Randy, I'm not sure if saying that a "real fan" will figure out how to pay $80 for Borderlands 4 is a good look⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol borderlands absolutely doesn’t have the clout for that. Even a real price tag like $60 is a bit much for BL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help, a pair of very different games set on living starships have caught my eye simultaneously⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as everything else is fine a good art style can really elevate a game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahh hell naw⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The good ending

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[META] MangaDex policy change⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why don’t pirate sites just shut down entirely when they get out of the game? I remember when fuwanovel went straight (into the trash) and lost all relevancy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yet another Persona 5 spinoff is launching next month, this time a gacha game with a new group of Phantom Thieves⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird direction for atlus, but okay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Magic the Gathering x Final Fantasy card art might be a tease for 7 Remake Part 3, might be just another Tetsuya Nomura cryptic tease⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really hate the direction magic is going in and I’m certainly never supporting wizards, but at least it’s a crossover work an interesting franchise this time.

  We’re really reaching absurd levels of evil here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope Leo XIV lays out his vision and identifies AI as a main challenge for humanity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not unrealistic for a dipshit fascist to put an ai in charge of a nuclear arsenal and for it to destroy the world because of a passing red balloon. That said, the ai is quite a few steps down the line of things that need to be delt with in that chain.
