I mean, Grimm’s Fairy Tales are similar levels of absurd violence lol
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 8 hours ago:
It’s going to come down to anything with even a whisper of LGBTQ+/minority/disability/etc representation, just like with books.
They start with the “egregious” content (not that it’s necessarily right to remove that either), then narrow it down until it shapes up into hegemonic conformity and systemic oppression via media (there’s a term for it, kind of like stochastic violence but not quite that I can’t remember atm).

And baa baa black sheep
- Comment on What's a video game that can run on any sort of device?(besides doom and pong) 2 days ago:
Snake would also fall under that category
- Comment on Anyone have one of these? 3 days ago:
If it connects the way I think it does, it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless technology.
The rest of the tablet apps are what make it not ideal, since its main use case seems to be the phone itself.
TL;DR: use like regular phone, other apps useless.

This seems targeted towards elderly people and while the implementation isn’t ideal the concept itself isn’t too bad.
- Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios 4 days ago:
TBF, even if they’re a shit company to their consumers it’s kind of funny for them to point out they still make boatloads of money while keeping employees since it makes others look bad.
“Efficiency” is smoke-blowing bull for the sake of putting a few more pennies in shareholder stocks. Stable profits are far more sustainable and better for the real economy (where real people spend real money) than infinite growth since having a regular paycheck allows people to continue buying things.

I’m going to do my sanity a favor and not read those. My imagination can fill in the outline and it already makes me sick.
Let’s just say I wouldn’t cry if these scum fell throat-first onto a harpoon coated in tarantula venom.

- Comment on 25% of young Americans aged 18 to 24 eat every meal alone—'a virtual doubling of what it was two decades ago,' expert says 1 week ago:
Probably related to education and being broke, yeh?
Working a shit job and having to tolerate roommates doesn’t exactly equate to having time, money, or ability to eat regular meals with friends and family.

Evolution is about making babies before you die, and those babies grow up and make babies before they die.
“Purpose” is largely irrelevant, unfortunately.

“Drinks are only allowed in [insert room here] in screw-cap bottles, and caps must be used to close said bottles when not being actively drank from to prevent spills”
Would be pretty straightforward I think
- Comment on Investors snap up growing share of US homes as traditional buyers struggle to afford one 1 week ago:
Every price gouging landlord should face prison time, and every blackrock/insert-housegrabbing-corpo-here board member doubly so.
Billionaires should have their excess wealth redistributed and any remainder meted out to a median quality of life yearly subsidy they earn by doing community service as a full time occupation as a means of parole.
Trickle-up parasites must be corrected into decent human beings if they wish to remain in society.

Fortunately it’s not an allergic reaction, mostly just an intolerance but I appreciate your concern :)
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t eaten red meat in years due to not reacting well to it, glad to see it’s also helping the environment 😄

What’s the fucking difference between[…]
Multiple people are getting paid so they can make a living, more money flows through the economy and even if you don’t personally find it to your taste, it’s still the result of cumulative human efforts.
Gen AI has its uses in personal entertainment but I will spit on the corpo who tries to make me pay for art a person didn’t actually compose/play.
Spotify is no paragon of morality but at least I can find real, human artists via the platform and see/support them in other ways.
When it comes to human expression, I only want my money to go to human expression (even if it’s deemed “soulless”).

Not who you asked, but I’m in the middle of a playthrough right now and yes that’s exactly it. The deck building doesn’t feel grindy like Pokémon though.

Good old, down-home patriotism where we stick it to the commies by providing for each other and strengthening life for the common American so other countries can’t interfere!
