- Comment on Half-Life 3 Reportedly Delayed Due to Steam Machine Price, Leak Claims 1 day ago:
I’m confused, was there any expectation it would that I missed? As far as I know half life is dead. They never even finished episode 3 of half life 2 from like two decades ago.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 3 days ago:
Songs of conquest is fantastic, definitely recommend.
I keep coming back to play it and they have been releasing solid new content, such as new factions
- Comment on Reddit files legal challenge against social media ban for under-16s 1 week ago:
Ugh “parents should do better parenting” is such neo lib individualist bullshit
- Comment on 6🤷♀️7 2 weeks ago:
There is context, but the kids parroting it don’t know our understand it.
Basically it’s part of a line from a philly rap song that someone misinterpreted, said it in a funny way, went viral, and now everyone is copying the viral vid/kid.
- Comment on Elon Musk, doing Elon Musk things. 2 weeks ago:
Man… I can’t beleive how many people tried to gaslight everyone into thinking he was just “sending his heart out”
Somehow he got off easy lighter than he should have for such a blatant nazi salute
- Comment on How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number 2 weeks ago:
Male version Granny panties vs nickers.
- Comment on I like kiwi 3 weeks ago:
Kiwi = bird Kiwi = nickname for humans from kiwi land Kiwi fruit = Chinese gooseberry (that actually has very little to do with kiwis other than marketing)
Also, I’m allergic to kiwi fruit so… Big nope from me
- Comment on I dunno 3 weeks ago:
I assume p is for “parentheses”, because where I grew up it was BEDMAS, for brackets.
- Comment on Radon 4 weeks ago:
You just successfully described 95% of modern office jobs
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s a case of them thinking what the title says, but knowing it makes them look shitty, so trying to couch it in a way that makes it open to interpretation, or at the very least gives them plausible deniability.
Like a lot of right wing commentators/popular people. Talk bullshit around the point everyone knows you’re making, so when people call you out on it you can go “I specifically say that, so that’s not true, and you’re actually the ass hole for acusing me of it”

If you know cricket, and the Pakistani cricket team… This meme is very on point.
Perhaps one of sports most “potential that was never achieved” teams.
At times they have some of the best players, and on paper team, in the world… And then they’ll just play like muppets at important events and you get this meme.

They need them for a lot of reasons.
Except for stopping tyranny or having a justified revolution
- Comment on My AYN Thor 1 month ago:
I mean… The 3D idea was pretty cool, and it worked surprisingly well, but I realistically never used it other that for fun occasionally.
I’ve just hacked and started reusing my old 3DS and it’s great fun! Can download most games abs cool hacks/mods to modify them.
Is this able to hook up with the same software as 3DS so I could do the same on it?
- Comment on one bright second 2 months ago:
Because things haven’t progressed linearly with the universes evolution, and, as the op stipulates, we are part of one second vs countless billions of years (relatively) till it’s theoretical demise, it is possible/probable that we don’t know what will happen down the line.
Certain things might change to make it possible that we simply can’t predict due to lack of information (the future) and technological difficulties.
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 2 months ago:
Yeah, I mean they bought the ip, but they haven’t actually developed any homm games, just produced it via other development companies.
Unless I’m misunderstanding something
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 2 months ago:
Pretty sure they did that with all Homm games? Their first, HommV was done by nival interactive.
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 2 months ago:
Can confirm. SoC is great. For a slightly different spin (auto battler) there’s also Hero hour
We’re in a rare run of good form where there are currently multiple gear Homm2/3 clones/spiritual successors that are all great in their own way.
To top it off, og Homm3 still gets decent “updates” in the form of high quality mods that are still being worked on.
- Comment on Any swifties here to verify this? 2 months ago:
I mean, that title sounds like it’s in the same ball park as WAP. As long as they’re not getting exploited, more power to em.
- Comment on Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll 2 months ago:
I haven’t followed UK politics much lately, but sounds similar to Labour in NZ. Take over from conservatives trying to sell off the country and fuck over the poor, win a mandate super majority election, do nothing or worse, back track on your progressive campaign promises… Get railed in the next election.
And the government that took over is the worst we’ve had in decades.
- Comment on Cloudflare DDoSed itself with React useEffect hook blunder 2 months ago:
Probably depends on the type of company you work in. If it’s a long established one with lots of staff, they’ve probably realised this issue a long time ago she put plans on for it.
If it’s a more modern one that hired a bunch of solid old heads up early on, they probably no better from the outset.
On both cases, someone, somewhere will have probably experienced it and said “never again”, so implemented (or improved) release procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again
A lot of my teams have been on the younger side and for small companies/startups. So everyone either had a recent example to pull from or had first have experience
- Comment on Cloudflare DDoSed itself with React useEffect hook blunder 2 months ago:
I think most people have done, or been part of a team that did, something similar.
At least most of the engineers I’ve worked with have had similar stories from their past
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 3 months ago:
I used to watch her when, as far as I knew, all she talked about was science (mainly physics) news. You know, talking about the thing she actually studied in.
Then one day she did a “capitalism is actually great” video, and spouted a bunch of erroneous neo-lib bullshit. Thankfully most of the comments tore into her, pointing out the logical falacies and out right lies she was parroting.
I only watched a few more vids after that as she seemed to get more and more out of her area of knowledge and saying dumb shit.
I had no idea about the anti trans stuff though. I’d just stopped watching and put it down to the Nth person to be smart in one area and try and apply that to other areas where they have no expertise but think they know more about it than anyone else.
So yeah, fuck her
- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 3 months ago:
It’s almost too perfect. He was trying to turn a genuine question on gun violence into racist rhetoric, and then got immediately snapped…
Was probably feeling pretty smug with how he spun that until his neck popped.
- Comment on Bamboozled! 3 months ago:
I appreciate it’s correct usage of “coral”
- Comment on banger 3 months ago:
I feel like it had to be. It’s too subtly funny for the rock, while also taking a stand on something, which, and I don’t follow him closely, so I could be wrong, I don’t think he tends to do.
I would have thought he wasn’t the queens biggest fan though, given his people and the brits history
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
That pretty much summed up the entire brexit mindset. “We already have one of the sweetest EU deals, but we want only good stuff and no bad”
- Comment on The duality of man 3 months ago:
They want to bomb the middle east, but harder.
It’s not even that they’re “the same”, it’s that they have similar approaches, but one is much worse.
Everyone lolmemes about republicans dropping bombs and Democrats dropping bombs with rainbow flags like it’s some deep insight, but all this does is massively benefit the right.
It sews disengagement from the left and people “protest vote”, then the people that do the thing they’re protesting against worse than get into power.
Unfortunately in a two party system, such as the US, it’s better to vote for the less bad one than neither, even if the one you vote for doesn’t do everything you’d like them to
- Comment on Thank G*d I grew up in the 90s. Everything is woke now. Smh my head 3 months ago:
This clears up nothing up haha. He was just acting. So pretended to kill someone? Or he actually killed an African warlord… Which somehow doesn’t count, and acting is a non sequitar
- Comment on Never get a tattoo when you are drunk 3 months ago:
That’s actually a pretty solid tattoo. I mean the craftsmanship is bad, but given it’s a drunk, on your back, tattoo… I was expecting much worse content
- Comment on WATER! 3 months ago:
Everyone has different experiences, but it’s very hit and miss for me. Sometimes it gives some very useful boiler plate, saving me quite a bit of time, sometimes it hallucinates some insane stuff that isn’t related to what I asked or makes functions that don’t return, or call each other.
Like defining a function “getTheThing” then later calling “getSomethingElse” that doesn’t exist. It’s a simple enough error to fix, but sometimes it’s so close to “correct” that debugging it takes quite a lot to find, because it looks right.
