- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 23 hours ago:
I’ve seen too much news involving cowardice and hypocrisy. It’s nice to see someone take a principled stand.
- Comment on Quilter's AI just designed an 843‑part Linux computer that booted on the first try. Hardware will never be the same. 2 days ago:
I like that it’s basing its behaviors on the laws of physics. No messy human language, no opinions, slants, or agendas. AI just isn’t ready (or, possibly, will never be ready) to handle that shit. Plus, it’s not stealing work created by humans under the guise of “training”.
I assume it still relies on datacenters, which are themselves ethically questionable. Still, this seems to be the “flavor” of AI that I hate the least.

- Comment on Black Friday spending raises eyebrows over US economy 1 week ago:
I don’t have any personal experience, and the story doesn’t go into detail.
- Comment on Black Friday spending raises eyebrows over US economy 1 week ago:
…consumers shopped at encouraging levels…
I love the euphemism, but hate the system that makes it necessary.
Tracy Schuchart, a senior economist at NinjaTrader, called BNPL [Buy Now, Pay Later] the "elephant in the room" of consumer spending, noting high levels of usage among high earners for discretionary purchases and among lower-income groups for essential items.
PEOPLE SHOULDN’T NEED TO FINANCE ESSENTIAL ITEMS.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 week ago:
In my experience, Lemmy users generally seem to be more mature (with significant exceptions), but “mature” certainly isn’t a synonym for “smarter”.
Plus, reddit is SO EASY to make fun of. They might as well reward people with terrible ideas and their most obnoxious users. Spez, for example.

- Comment on Scientists Growing Colour Without Chemicals 5 weeks ago:
“It’s 100% natural!”
“So is arsenic.”
…When I see “without chemicals” I just assume it’s shorthand for “without known harmful chemicals, probably” until I carefully read the label and learn more
- Comment on Engine fell off US cargo plane before deadly crash: officials 5 weeks ago:
lol good point. I do not want investigators to start SLAMMING people.
- Comment on Engine fell off US cargo plane before deadly crash: officials 5 weeks ago:
I love their use of the word “detached”. It sounds so clinical, boring, and routine.
No. A BURNING ENGINE FELL OFF THE PLANE. Let’s not play with words and attempt to make the situation sound less fucked up than it is.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 5 weeks ago:
What determines what "too big" is?
Ease of travel and speed of travel. Even a small map can feel cumbersome, repetitive, and boring. If the missions are designed poorly, and the game mechanics ignore an entertaining user experience, walking down the same hallway a thousand times can feel like a chore.
“Too big” is a relative feeling that involves many factors.

A smaller pizza chain in the US. I’ve never tried their pizza.
- Comment on Why are some many people role playing as animals? 1 month ago:
I’m going to guess that it’s because most animals spend their days eating, sleeping, and fucking. Some of them don’t even “raise” their kids. They don’t have the same responsibilities that humans do. Animals are assumed to be innocent. It’s an idealized life.
