- Comment on Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater - Gameplay Trailer 3 days ago:
These are my feelings too. I loved the trilogy when each came out, and return to them at least once a year. But nice graphics aren’t enough to make me support Konami.

If Joe Bloggs next door agrees with war crimes, he’s just an arsehole.
If the head of the United Nations General Assembly agrees with war crimes, I think there’s a case to be made…
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 1 week ago:
Doom Eternal? The game with a soundtrack that was made up of butchered parts of Gordon’s work, welded together by a novice, at the command of an egotistical dickhead who slandered Gordon after the fact?

Eternals original OST was very poor compared to Doom 2016. Big reason I never bothered with the game.
- Comment on A sign that consumers are anxious: they’re cutting back on snacks 5 weeks ago:
These companies have more than doubled the prices of their products in the last few months. It’s not anxiety that’s stopping us from buying, it’s the fact that a bag of chips regularly costs more than six litres of milk!
- Comment on Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console 1 month ago:
At least it gives people who are using their switches a chance to buy one, instead of them selling out in seconds to a network of bot accounts before winding up on eBay for $300+ the following week.
It’s not the perfect system, but I can understand why they are doing it.
- Comment on Is this true? Software companies had diversity quotas to meet, and realized it was easier to turn autistic men into women than it was to turn women into software engineers 2 months ago:
This guy is systematically eroding the very foundations of this community. How can NoStupidQuestions and this stupid question exist at the same time? I can feel the very threads of reality beginning to unravel from this stupidity paradox.

Is DuckDuckGo still the best alternative at this point, or has Bing been toiling away in the dark to improve itself?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It baffles me how wholly some people are just accepting the complete erosion of the internet. I have lecturers at university, so theoretically educated people, who tell us point blank to plug any questions we have about weekly topics into ChatGPT. The respect I have for these teachers and their content is less than zero at this point.
- Comment on Nintendo patent explains Switch 2 Joy-Cons’ “mouse operation” mode 3 months ago:
When I saw the reveal trailer and the joycons were sliding around on their sides I didn’t even recognise that they were implying mouse-mode until people in the comments started losing their minds.
All I could think was “my massive hands are never going to be able to use that joycon as a mouse comfortably”. This patent does not make me feel any more confident that j won’t have constant hand cramps with this thing.
- Comment on In 2020 I couldn't swing a stick without finding independent livestreamer links for protests. In 2024, I am having a very hard time finding livestreamers. Help? 3 months ago:
If I had to take a guess, it could be that either they are being moderated off platforms by companies that are toeing the line, or more likely the streamers have seen the way the current govt is dealing with their problems, and feel like identifying themselves digitally makes it more likely that ICE will turn up at their door and deport them despite being born white in the US.
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 4 months ago:
Alright bro, you win. I give up. You’re head is so far up your own ass that “asset packs” are theft and a stream deck is the equivalent of feeding the entirety of human creativity into a robot and asking it to make pictures of a big titty anime girls to promote chat apps.
You’re too far gone.
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 4 months ago:
If I commission a human artist to paint me a picture or write me a song, did I create it? I gave them the prompt to generate the work with their skills, so I must be as creative and skilled as any work they return, right?
You’ve asked something else to make your art, and then claimed that because you were really specific with your request that you deserve the kudos for the creativity and skill of the art. Pick up a pen and stop stealing existing artists’ work in order to force a computer to stroke your delusional ego.

And yet here you are, starting a discussion on actual mental issues.
