I don’t know about that.
More like most of them have giant backpacks, lots of tourists, and one really huge creep that wants to sell your liver.

“legally”
Remember when Trump told EU companies to stop DEI policies and EU laughed? It goes both ways.
- Comment on How do you answer the question "What's new with you?" when nothing happens in your life? 4 days ago:
I take a short breath and pull out my phone.
I notate when I last saw them.
I then pull out my document of every major event that occurred to me from point A to point B.
They look confused.
I comfort them.
I gently remind them that I’m on this ride with them. And if they didn’t want to be informed, they shouldnt have asked.
I clear my throat, and start at the top of the list.

That’s me too. And personally, I think you’re my type of person to talk to.
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 5 days ago:
Seriously. I see comments like this all the time but no examples.
Just the idea that a developer would care so much to create something like “If user doesn’t consent, ruin their experience”.
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 5 days ago:
Wouldn’t really matter for most sites hosted in America. American businesses do not have to comply unless they have EU customers.
International sites like YouTube absolutely has some system that will switch the cookie tracking depending on geo location.
But American sites don’t really gaf. Small News site in America, unless they’re paying for a fancy Cookie Consent Management tool, is doing it the US way and it’s opt out, regardless of where you’re coming from.
For example: if Kansas News site gets a warning from the EU about cookies, they’re not going to care.
If you hate this, stop using American products and services. (And I say this as a privacy concerned American)
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 5 days ago:
In the US, it’s the opposite. The way the law is written, you have to OPT out. So they’re collecting the moment you land.
I’ve set up a bunch of these cookie banners for US businesses. You can choose if you follow the EU version, or the CCPA version.

Absolutely this.
2010s was a wild west of downloading multi pack codecs BS. Just let me play the video!
- Comment on Clean butt 6 days ago:
I was like you a few years ago.
The crappy ones feel like that.
Then I sat on a fancy one that sang me a lullaby and gave me positive encouragement as I pooped. My god, my entire butthole is so fresh.
I now understand.

The pandemic showed us that we are willing to throw nice words around and call people heroes and then watch them melt down because nobody wants to work anymore to make my fajita.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 2 weeks ago:
Halo MCC version over the original.
I saw Halo running on a classic Xbox and tried to play with the clunky Xbox controller. Couldn’t do it. Everything looked so low res and blurry.

There’s something different between the two that I can’t put my finger on. Like everything feels a lot more solid?
I personally have a lot more memories of L4D and it’s cast of characters over L4D2.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 2 weeks ago:
I just played the original System Shock and System Shock 2. Incredible games.
I saw the trailer for the remake for the first one and wanted one last memory before I get my mind blown.
- Comment on Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5 2 weeks ago:
That felt like Civ 5.
Playing it on launch, it was so bare.
Playing the Complete version, it was finally fun to play.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 2 weeks ago:
Oh man I just remembered how great that could have been.
Red Dead 2 dealt with racist cults so elegantly.
And Far Cry 5’s “Oh we’re going there!” And making the most surface-level milquetoast bullshit I have ever seen.

Wait are you taking about cartoon mermaids and their skin color? You know, because of mermaid science?

My basic requirements is that it’s a good game from a respectable company.
And even if it is a good game by reviewer standards, Ubisoft has been an awful studio to the game industry for the past decade. From sexual harassment lawsuits to investing in web3, shutting down servers that causes single player games to lose features, having their own storefront, being creatively bankrupt with their releases, nickel and diming their product…
Not the worse mind you, but easily the bottom.
Buy it when it’s $5 on steam in a few years.

Commenter said Black Skin.
You said “finest detail”.
What are you smoking?

Australian method actor and five-time Academy Award winner, Kirk Lazarus, can explain.

The story’s title is in reference to “The last of the Samurai”, not Tom being a Samurai, and the last one.
Kind of like Big Trouble in Little China, where the story follows a white guy.
That’s the narrative shared by the studio which I begrudgingly accept. Even though the title and Tom being the face of it muddles it a lot. And I also don’t consider it a good movie.

I hate that I’m on the same side as the racists though.
Thanks a lot Ubisoft.

I like how OP also chose to do zero research of all the controversy of the Last Samurai, and the years of PR control.

I’ve been getting a major kick out of the retro games community!
They’re reviewing old games, reviewing new games that look/act retro, interviewing designers of old games. It’s glorious.

Seems like the finger should be pointed at you for being so naive and trusting someone so blindly?
And reading the post, you telling me if OP was sending nudes of his girlfriend to a group chat, Derrick is the asshole here?
Yeah alright.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 2 weeks ago:
If you’re sharing it privately, that’s your true self, the version of you unfiltered and able to avoid the consequences of actually saying it.
Not if, but when it gets exposed by a Derek, will people look at you differently?
You just discovered something important about yourself.

It’s called market manipulation!
They did it with crypto. They did it with NFTs. They did it with stocks. They’re doing it again with stocks.

Get 10 friends.
Run into a McDonald’s and shout “Everyone get the MC Turd smoothie!”
Idiot buys it.
Do that a bunch of times over and over, with more idiots buying it.
At some point, someone realizes the MC Turd Smoothie tastes like poop. But it’s too late. You have too many idiots holding it so now they’re the 10 friends.
That’s the stock market.
