So, you’re new to the Internet, welcome, don’t look up blue waffle, lemon party or one guy one jar. This is something called a shit post, where the humor of it is that it is, as you succinctly put it, strange and dumb. That is why I put it here, in a community for shit posts.
Don’t worry, you’ll get it soon enough and I’m sure you’ll have maybe adventures surfing the information superhighway!

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 days ago:
Ok, but compare that to breath of the wild. The game really is an open world. And you can go right up to the boss and kill him with a stick of you know what you’re doing. You, as a player, decide to go get stronger first. You don’t have characters specifically telling you to avoid an area, and a quest line that specifically takes you down a specific path that gives you a specific narrative.
Plus it’s got all sorts of logic puzzles like, all over the place.
Hell in fo3 you don’t get railroaded until the final mission, first time I played it I didn’t even go to megaton until way later. Fonv starts you off with it. For a game that is supposed to encourage exploration to start off saying not to? C’mon.

I get that people like the story and feel like they have an influence on it, but for me it felt railroaded even from the start. “Oh yeah it’s open world but if you go anywhere other than the path we laid out for you you’ll die by deathclaws” is what it’s known for.
My biggest gripe is that when I play fallout I want post apocalyptic retro futurism. 50s vision of the future gone wrong. I feel like I don’t get that with NV and that’s the whole theme of the franchise. It’s the pizza at the Chinese buffet, like, I’m not here for that, why are you here? This is just Nevada but slightly shittier.

The Outer Worlds was so bad I had to put the controller down and abandon it. A fan made song got the feeling of “dystopian capitalism in space” better than the actual game did.
And an older one that’ll get me burned at the stake: Fallout New Vegas is the worst of the first person fallout games.

Idk it’s one of the most popular and influential religions, so it kinda got ol Yahu a boost most other deities haven’t. Probably one of the only effectual things made by committee in history.
Kinda shows how messed up humans are though doesn’t it?

I just checked and yeah, your comment didn’t say anything about birth control options for men and only talked about the negative effects of the pill.
So you see why one would think that you were trying to say that the birth control pill is a bad thing and that we should remove it.
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 1 week ago:
And it’s their choice to pick that option and it’s not my place to remove that option because I’m done rando on the Internet who thinks he knows better

Weird how it seems like it’s all for women and safe sex but then criticizes a tool women have to checks notes take control of their sex lives and make decisions about getting pregnant.

I love this idea. Celebratory hate bottles. It’s perfect.

If you think people should let you enjoy things in peace, you should let people not enjoy things in peace. And if you would shut the fuck up and read, maybe you’d find more games you could enjoy.
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 3 weeks ago:
Ok, I agree with you, I do, buuuuut
If someone shows up to an interview wearing pajamas, they are probably less likely to get a job. So you do have to dress up a little bit, depending on what the job is.
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 5 weeks ago:
Your example is shit. It would be more appropriate for when you commission a piece of work from someone, where they are using their skills and choices and you’re telling them what you want and don’t want on the sandwich.
AI doesn’t make choices when creating an image. It generates an image based off of other images and you hope that it gets something that follows some aesthetic principles that it’s lifting from other images. Just because you reroll the die doesn’t mean you’re choosing shit.
That “menial” process when you’re making art is literally the best part. When you’re painting a sky for the background of something you don’t want that just filled in, that’s where you can experiment and maybe even add an element that you weren’t thinking of before when you started the piece. AI can’t do that for you.
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 5 weeks ago:
Way to shit on everyone who’s job it is to make those things.
Why do you think logos and so on have no artistic value? What defines value? Because if it’s influencing people and culture, then logos definitely do.
Corporate art sucks ass but it’s still made using choices, which ai doesn’t do.
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 5 weeks ago:
Well I’m not going to slap you on the back and praise you for saying the equivalent of “I just eat potato chips anyway I don’t care if the new chips are made of styrofoam they still got flavor blasted”.
Also, I totally disagree with you. If I see a neat picture someone took from getting dropped onto earth from low orbit, I’m gonna think that’s way cooler than an ai image trying to emulate the same thing, even if I’m only looking at it for a second. I’m going to think a crudely drawn parody of a meme is funnier than an ai generated imitation of a meme, even if all I’m doing is making that little exhale with the nose instead of laughing.
There’s a difference. You can tell. If you’re so Internet addled you genuinely are saying you don’t think there’s a difference, then you’ve got like, negative skills in art appreciation.

If you think that it was an insult then that shows what shame you have for your lack of skill, not an intention on my part.

That’s like saying you cooked a chicken sandwich because you ordered it off the menu.

I was going to read this but stopped halfway through because my mind went “yeah that yeah another person who never bothered trying to draw having a hot take that’s just sucking off a tech bro”
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 5 weeks ago:
The most generic logo from ten years ago still was made with choices by a designer. It’s those choices that make a difference, you don’t choose how things are executed with ai

Sounds like you’re not very skilled at art appreciation.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 month ago:
The establishment is people who are in power, which sure isn’t the Democrats right now. Not that they have anyone to blame but themselves.
If you really dish it back, both the Dems and repubs are the establishment.
Either way saying Trump isn’t the establishment I feel isn’t true, especially right now. He’s literally in charge of everything.

Your post is unoriginal and boring, and not even a shitpost. It’s regurgitated drain water. It’s not even funny just kind of sad and dull.
- Comment on What's your favourite menu music in a game? 1 month ago:
Night in the Woods, which has one of the best sound tracks, hands down
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 month ago:
“the establishment regains control”? Bruh Trump is the establishment.
Anyway, figuring out what to trust can be tricky. That’s why I like to sometimes lean on rationalist practices. Learn what fallacies are, learn to how to spot them, and a lot of lies become apparent.

Look I hate crypto too but I don’t think someone should die a show painful death because they were trying to use it to, like, not die.

That’s missing the point of my metaphor.

Squares come in different sizes and colors. There is a spectrum of squares, some very small and some very large, with all sorts of colors.
This does not mean circles are squares.
