  Business Insider was founded in 2007.

  Limbaugh too, remember him? I barely do but I know it’s good he’s dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Retro Classics is better than expected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s a pure GamePass thing, you will never own these games, only rent the option to play them for a flat monthly rate that will keep increasing as the shareholder demands rise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg founder Kevin Rose offers to buy Pocket from Mozilla⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then they release Pocket v4 which everyone hates, usage dwindles but they refuse to roll back, and then it finally dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of the Half-Life Expansions are your favorite?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked Blue Shift a little more than Opposing Force, but it’s so short (4 hours!) that it’s hard to believe it got a standalone release.

  They targeted gamers.

  Gamers.

  We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

  We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

  We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

  Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

  Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

  These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

  Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.

  This only bothers me to the extent that it affects the innocent who are in prison. For the rest, this inconvenience is part of the punishment you’re serving.

  I’m frankly shocked that Phil Schiller was on the “don’t be dishonest” train about anything.

  At least tell me there’s a DIN slot in the dashboard. As long as I can connect my phone via Bluetooth I’m good.

  Donald Trump is a self-inflicted wound.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: TSMC could face $1 billion or more fine from US probe, sources say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump threatens a lot of things to get attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone playing along that this is some kind of genuine policy play are just buying into Trump as a legitimate leader in a similar way to how MAGA-heads do. Trump does not give a fuck about American manufacturing, American jobs, onshoring, offshoring, none of that. It’s all a grift. He’s waiting for some kind of payoff here, be it in the form of countries giving in to bad deals for the Trump Organization or investing in Truth or $TRMP. In some cases he gets to be feted at state dinners and sign some watered down, meaningless “trade deal,” temporarily backfilling his deep insecurities. Enough of this and most of the tariffs evaporate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry but “woman” is not an adjective and its use that way is grating. You wouldn’t say “man teacher” and it sounds wrong. So does “woman lawyer” or “woman voter.”

  The neckbeard/incel thing is using “female” when “woman” would be acceptable and more common, like “look at these females” or something. It doesn’t mean we have to abolish the word “female” entirely from the lexicon.

  If you don’t have a Twitter account there’s no reason for you to care about this at all.

  Spend your limited time on earth worrying about things that matter.

  I like how even a reputable news outlet like the BBC now just quotes redditors to give “average joe” reactions to things.

  Anything that would make a kid today instantly say “ew, that old thing?” is retro to me. That includes everything up through PS2/Gamecube/Xbox to me.
