I really enjoyed that game, back when it came out. Slightly regret trading away my copy, it’s got replay value.

It’s extra funny because the most homophobic people have big “you brought donuts to the office and now I hate you” energy

A steady hand on the tiller of society? In this economy?
- Comment on Almost 30 years later, Fallout 1's depth of choice, chance, and consequence is still an RPG gold standard 1 day ago:
Noah Gervais’ video essay on the whole Fallout franchise is an epic undertaking to watch all of - and I have done so twice. It’s delicious.

Holy stolen meme, Blyatman

I grew up in America and I saw them often enough. They must have grown up in Sucksville.
- Comment on Is it a bad idea to learn Russian because of the war? 3 days ago:
I think the main thing holding me back in my attempts to learn languages is not having anyone to talk to. I’ve tried to learn Spanish, Mandarin, German, French, and Japanese. Never got that far in any of them, but I did best with Spanish and French. The former when I worked with Mexicans who don’t speak much English, and the latter when I vacationed in France and didn’t want to seem like one of those Americans, and studied like crazy ahead of time.
I can’t think of many Russians I’d want to talk to. Maybe if I was in contact with dissidents I’d be able to put in the effort.

Maybe just ignore posts you don’t like? This isn’t a big platform yet, people who actually post shouldn’t be discouraged.

I love the aesthetic, having had just such a car in just such a place when I was younger. Watching Pacific Drive makes me so nostalgic.
- Comment on French far right wants to reopen brothels and put sex workers in charge 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s the trouble, turns out you can bullshit a bullshitter. Fuck em anyway, I left.
- Comment on French far right wants to reopen brothels and put sex workers in charge 1 week ago:
Well yeah I heard there was a vacancy.
- Comment on French far right wants to reopen brothels and put sex workers in charge 1 week ago:
My French is not so good, but all Americans are fluent in Bullshit.
- Comment on French far right wants to reopen brothels and put sex workers in charge 1 week ago:
The far right would never do this. It’s surely a feint, or a distraction, or possibly they’ve found a way to do this in a way that is actually horrible. If none of that turns out to be true I’ll admit to some confusion.

I dunno why they were giving you a hard time about it tbh. Another lemming who isn’t socially facile, must be a day ending in Y.

- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
Yes, but:

Gold is just another asset, it belongs in any long term portfolio at least to a small degree, and if you take the possibility of market instability seriously, you might consider keeping some actual metal on hand. Though silver is somewhat more practical for that.

- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 1 week ago:
I thought arytom did a ninja edit, not you. Maybe a federation issue, maybe I shouldn’t be dropping comments at 3am. We’ll never know!
And yeah that’s basically what I’ve heard about proton.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 1 week ago:
In the context of the unedited comment the horse’s mouth thing made sense, it just looked like a weird nitpick. I just saw the ninja edit - that was poor form - and I don’t support proton in any case. Additional caveat, my fuckin watch woke me up at 3 am, a couple hours ago, to congratulate me on three hours of sleep. I might be missing something.
Hopefully that’s enough caveats.

It did.
- Comment on Kalshi CEO Wants to Monetize 'Any Difference in Opinion' 1 week ago:
Because everything will get so much better when billionaires can directly monetise polarisation. Back in the old days they had to do all this extra shit to profit from destroying all social fabric.

Did not know you could throw rats in this game. That’s gonna be the new “shimmying between two walls” of AAA games.
