- Comment on Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer 2 days ago:
this kind of mentality solves nothing. blaming people who don’t know an alternative or who don’t understand crypto is not going to solve this problem. nor is crypto a perfect solution by any means.
you’re suggesting a band-aid solution and shaking your fist at “normies”. quite ironic.
- Comment on Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer 2 days ago:
from the article:
Crimson Delight have only good things to say about Valve’s handling of the situation. “I have to say the reviewer was kind and forthcoming, we didn’t feel threatened or bullied in any way, and we got the feeling they were trying to do their best to help devs navigate the process,” developer Frenzin writes. “But the fact of the matter is that Valve has payment processors breathing down their neck, and the rules keep getting stricter as time goes on.”
you’re blaming the wrong people. nobody is bootlicking.
- Comment on I Review PC Handhelds for a Living and I’m Worried Where Things Are Headed 6 days ago:
its because PC gamers have been conditioned to upgrade every two years to some insane, power guzzling setup that allows you to see the shadows inside a character’s pores and have 300 fps.
switch sold well because its low power. same with steam deck. they’re not made to play extremely powerful games at 300fps.

there’s no nuance in anything anymore. you can’t just say “oh this isn’t really for me, honestly.”
you have to write 18 paragraphs about the fall of the video game industry because of this one game and how its hot trash, kills newborns while they sleep, etc.

- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 3 weeks ago:
“our society has pushed smart phones down our throats”
smartphones evolved from older methods of just getting through the day. taking notes, listening to music, calandars, date books, libraries, files, methods of communication.
you make the assumption that everyone is a slave to their device just because it’s a smart device.
some of us were alive before smart phones existed. and we’d prefer not to go back in tech. and would instead prefer the devices we have now.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 3 weeks ago:
you couldn’t pay me to go backwards in time, sorry!
see I was around before the age of the smartphone. growing up, I thought my cassette Walkman was the most revolutionary thing ever. and when PDAs were new, I would dreaammm about everything being on one electronic device.
smart phones have given me a freedom that younger me never had.
i no longer need to carry a notebook/memobook around, because I have powerful software on my phone that not only let’s me note-take, but index and SEARCH my own notes. from my pocket.
i don’t need to carry the 3 novels im reading at the moment because they’re on the ereader app in my pocket.
contacts, games, all my news sources, photos, videos, all my media.
to me, this is still revolutionary tech and it has only improved my life
i think we are seeing a rise now of adults who were raises as iPad kids who never had to carry all their shit around the way us older individuals have. so they naturally would want to get away from it because they’ve known no different and they never had to live another way before that point.
its an understandable mentality from that one standpoint. but no, I will never give up my smart phone. i understand the reasons for those that do, but some of us don’t really want to go backwards.

- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 3 weeks ago:
religion is an issue. and its not difficult to define.
i agree with your second paragraph. its why i think its time to start being less hospitable to any and all religion.
the less religion the world has, the better that people can be educated as you’ve said.
- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 3 weeks ago:
i think if less tolerance for religion became more commonplace, it might be better for mental health in general honestly.

- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 1 month ago:
no I meant the expectation that people will just comply without complaint. especially if its not been stated otherwise in the lesson plan or syllabus.
this guy makes it seem like he magically was able to charm people into not using their laptops. and then wrote praises to him for such a thing, and quite frankly I’m certain all of that is embellishment.
I’m all for being more productive in classrooms, but banning note taking methods that quite a few people rely on is just silly.
if people want to join classes where note taking is analog only, that’s great and I encourage it. but let me know its that way ahead of time so I don’t waste my time having to get a refund for the course.
