- Comment on Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game' 2 months ago:
I am the same. Game could take 60 hours to complete, and 50 of them are dogshit. Then it’s not a fun game. It’s all about the overall quality of the entire experience.
I would gladly pay $100 for Subnautica 2 if they could pull off another amazing adventure. Would do the same for another Larian studio game.

And yet, all they continue to sell me is a dryer when I just bought one a month ago.

Good. Can’t wait for these shit MBA clowns to destroy something else with their vast “knowledge”. Only this time will cheer them on.

And if they right mod or person complains, gotten your account banned.

There is a reason Beyoncé is labeled a performer. I don’t believe many of them could ever sing, the popular ones are all autotune performers.

There you go, talking into the mirror once more.

No, they are auto complete functions of varying effectiveness. There is no “intelligence”.

And neither do you.

And OpenAI is still less correct than a broken clock.

There is no AI. It’s all shitty LLM’s. But keep sucking that techbro cheesy balls. They will never invite you to the table.

They collect all this data and then still cancel the most watched/best shows.
Morons.
- Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 2 months ago:
I have had a 50/50 success rates. The ones who are bad are REALLY bad. To make up for it, they crank the gain, volume, and distortion to 11 and just annihilate everyone’s eardrums.
- Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 2 months ago:
I had a luthier tell me how much was much better before the record. How artists would perform live and have to do their best in these performances.
Once records came around all the artists sold out and it has been downhill from there.
“Ok, can I have my guitar back, please…”
- Comment on Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it 2 months ago:
I am convinced that producers go out with a company checkbook and standard boilerplate, find acts that have good songs, then buy the rights to those songs.
They then give the songs to larger pop artists and never credit the original artist because there is no need. They likely pay well for a decent song.
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 2 months ago:
Every online game is like that now. I avoid all of them for that reason. It doesn’t matter the game, if it starts to get popular the massive group of trolls shows up and goes out of there way to figure out the methodology to ruin the gameplay for others.
- Comment on Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy 3 months ago:
Amazon has so many false brands and knock off shit it’s ridiculous. Hardly any of it works yet it has a 4.8 review. It’s like Temuat this point for so much of it.
- Comment on Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy 3 months ago:
How did Walmart become the good guy in all this shit? What the ever living fuck is going on with capitalism?
I gave up on Amazon a while ago except for very niche things, and Walmart if great. Orde groceries, they tell me to come get them, dude loads them up in my car and tells me have a good day. It’s amazing. No extra charge, nothing. Don’t have to deal with any of the people of Walmart.
- Comment on Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy 3 months ago:
The only things I buy off Amazon are the niche items from stores that only exist in the top largest cities in the USA. It’s difficult to find fountain pen stuff elsewhere, and most of the stores have a front on Amazon.
I don’t know why people buy everyday stuff on Amazon. It’s usually more expensive and you have to wait for it.

- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 4 months ago:
Exactly. Show me ads for guitar parts, pen inks, and 80’s kid stuff. I would impulse buy the shit out of that. Instead it’s “Want this loot box filled with bullshit that a hipster is trying to sell”. No thanks.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 4 months ago:
It’s always laughable to me that these companies are able to have the meta data on our entire lives and yet show ads for shit we don’t even want.

Showing my age here, but what’s the difference between hiding behind cover in Gears of War vs what we did in LAN parties for UT or Wolfenstein 3D?

Being able to instantly use moves that required the player to charge was bullshit.

No. Most of those communities are dwindling away. The guitar forums on Reddit are all AI shit repost bots. Luckily there are a few good YouTube channels to still get information, but there is no discussion.

What makes me sad is how a lot of niche communities moved from websites to Reddit, and now they are going to die.
- Comment on Bungie CEO faces backlash after announcing 220 employees, or 17% of its workforce, will be laid off | Pete Parsons has spent $2.4 million on classic cars since Sony acquired Destiny developer Bungie 4 months ago:
I was awarded a patent that was going to make mine and the company it supported a lot of money. (Of course I didn’t get any of it, but whatever) I was invited to go have steaks with the customer company and to pack some comfortable clothes, spend a few days in Texas. What I didn’t realize was who was going to be there.
We didn’t have steaks in the normal way of let’s sit down at the fancy building and eat. It was the board of directors, those guys who own the company. They wanted to take the engineers out for a few days. When the management and CEO tried to come along, they did a “why are you talking to us? Get back to work”. They wanted to hear about how we came up with this stuff.
Took their Suburban convoy out to an oasis country club and we were given some pants and new shirts. Nothing special I thought, but they were some special member’s club gift they give out. We went shooting, and their shotguns cost more than my house. Told them I feel weird holding it. “Nah! If you drop it it’s fine! Can get another one”
These guys had more money than I could fathom, but none of it seemed show-off, Gucci handbag level stuff. It was all made to look like nicer stuff you would buy from Macy’s. It was all custom tailored just for them. They didn’t need to show off to each other at that point. It was a fun couple of days. We stayed there, I had a room all to myself that was more like a master bedroom than a hotel.
I tried to find out where breakfast was and the staff laughed. “It’s ok, what would you like? We will bring it to your room.”

It’s because of the MBA class of people. They cannot innovate. They are bizzaro engineers, rather than improve and solve problems while making new products, they take existing labor and ideas, destroy them and the company attached, and somehow collect money.

It was probably the latter. Because if they didn’t like me that is much worse for a multitude of reasons.
