- Comment on If someone opened a store and just sold stuff at cost, which undercuts every other competitors by alot. Would this not for the big corps to come way down on their prices? 4 days ago:
Pretty much this.
People have shared how Costco would work with farms and say, “Well pay you less per product, but we’re order a magnitude more than your next buyer. Enough that you can retire next year.”
The numbers are insane.

Already has. I fail those shitty captcha image puzzles daily. I clicked on all the god damn bikes you shitty puzzle.

Which is a shame, because it’s the only DQ game I haven’t played because it’s a MMO and not translated into English.

Oh great that’s what we need from this administration.
- Comment on What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games? 1 week ago:
Zelda: Link to the Past.
How it shapes how I view games is how Zelda creates a lot of subconscious rules we take for granted until we see it not being used.
For example:
You’ll often find the “locked door” before finding the key.
You’ll see the treasure chest at the end, but no way to get there.
You see the cracked walls with no bombs.
A lot of puzzles are clearly pointing out the problems without words.

As expected. Many people just see it as an opportunity to talk about their favorite games. That’s okay.

The amount of indie games that pay a company to market for them to create pure marketing garbage is too high.

I came to say that too! It was body horror and glorious. 4 arms in the wrong place? Eyes in funny places.

From my experience - people who abuse AI don’t see AI’s cracks any longer. Their writing changes. How they see things.
It’s like the plastic surgery people. They don’t realize how weird and off-putting they look.

Okay honestly I want that.
- Comment on If I were to go out steal 34 cars. And charged with 34 felonies. One per each car. Could I not use the presidents case in defense of my own? Why or why not? 1 week ago:
The unspoken rule in the eyes of society is that people are granted certain privileges.
This is not to be confused by privileges defined by law.
These privileges are unspoken, because they differ between people and place, cultures, race, experience, education, etc. Things that you might have but another person might not. It’s deeply rooted in society, and near invisible to those who aren’t aware of the privileges they don’t have.
To use an example: You are a doctor. Your work provided you with a office, and items for you to do your work. One of those items is an iPad, which you use to take notes and access the internal medical records. One day, you take that iPad home and let your kids play with it.
The company noticed you installed a game, which is against company rules and is a fire-able offense. But, your status as a doctor means that if they fire you, they’ll lose a lot. The patient workload would increase, and finding a replacement would take a long time.
Even though you, the doctor, broke a rule, the company decides that it was an honest mistake and lets you off with a warning.
Here’s where the privilege comes in. You, the doctor, just got away with it. What else can you get away with?
As a doctor, you now KNOW that you have a high status in the company and they have to weigh the pros and cons of firing you.
So maybe you, the doctor, start taking snacks home that was meant for the whole team. Maybe you start telling the new interns about how cute their little butts are. Maybe you start taking huge turds and not flushing.
Each action, the company has to go: Do I fire this doctor and lose how much we gain from them? And chances are, they won’t. Because the rules you broke are too “minor” and it would be an inconvenience to the company. The company found ways to convince themselves to keep you even though you clearly broke the rules.
Let’s switch it. You’re a janitor at this hospital. You are minimum wage. You tell a intern how cute their butt is. Instant fire. Because to the company, you’re easily replaceable, your absence would be a minor hiccup.
With the president, the people behind the scenes are asking themselves, “Well he really did call black people monkeys, bomb a school of girls, rape underage girls… (Laundry list of bs here), but if we removed him, will it be a major inconvenience to our operations of making money/power/influence?” And the answer is unfortunately yes to those people.
If they asked the same question about you, the answer will be way different.

- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 1 week ago:
Absolutely this.
There was an anonymous confession page at my college and it became a place where people would share how they treat other students/staff like shit. And some were just hateful like “I’ll never date a [race]”.
It kept going for years and was just a toxic place.

I’m pretty sure it is not illegal to say how you just like seeing dead bodies, even if it’s your own commander.
You’re not threatening anybody. You’re just sharing preferences.

This is incredible. I just got this game for my kiddo and was looking for information out there as she’s asking for help.
And here you already built something so useful, and so quickly too!
Thank you!
- Comment on New lawsuit wants Valve to repay "billions" earned from "illegal gambling" lootboxes in Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 2 weeks ago:
I want all of them to be punished. Every loot box mechanic game on mobile too. Every EA/Activision/Ubisoft game.
Any game where you can buy a mystery box (or in TF2 terms, a key to open crates) directly with cash is part of the problem.

- Comment on Microsoft Confirms 'Project Helix,' a Next-Gen Xbox That Can Run PC Games 3 weeks ago:
I’m hoping Steam comes in and just destroys console gaming forever.
Consoles made it normal to pay for a subscription service to play multiplayer. Consoles are why games want to charge $70-90. Consoles create wallet experience and “exclusive” platforms for their games.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms 'Project Helix,' a Next-Gen Xbox That Can Run PC Games 3 weeks ago:
Microsoft’s history points to this.
Xbox live was pretty cool when it was trying to be the Netflix of Gaming. Then they shot themselves again and again in the foot.

This is it.
There’s a movement post-BLM where it’s not their job to explain racism to the ignorant. Very often, ignorant people refuse evidence. They waste everyone’s time and energy.
