- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 1 week ago:
They always have. The owners of industry crave for the days of the Golden Age of Capitalism where they get to be the robber barons instead of just hearing tales about their Grandpa.
- Comment on Tyler Robinson and Luigi Mangione are a glaring example of how attractive people get treated against ones who are not attractive 1 week ago:
Another big thing is the reasoning behind their actions.
Luigi, allegedly, did so in retaliation against a failed system that had exploited people and routinely denied people healthcare to save a buck, one that he is directly a victim of. That’s something we can all be sympathetic to.
The other is just a right wing troll who shot another right wing troll for not being the right kind of troll. Nobody’s gonna be sympathetic to that except other right wing trolls.
It has nothing to do with their looks.
Though there is a point to be made that people do need to overall stop insulting people, even horrible people, for their appearance. It just throws people under the bus to stroke our egos with a low-hanging-fruit insult. Because of those insults we get people like OP who fail to understand the point.
- Comment on People who care deeply about important events they have no impact on are abnormal, most people just go about their day without giving a shit. 1 week ago:
People are generally incredibly myopic, yes.
This is why education is so important: to understand that we need to be more aware of what is outside our limited bubble of flawed perception.

Oh wut? Lol my PS5 just got a lot more interesting.

Ugh yes. I so wanted an anime that actually focused on the support character but nope, gotta make the MC Uber Jesus.
- Comment on The Morbidly Rich Have Killed the American Dream 3 weeks ago:
The American Dream was always a lie that was never meant to actually last, only to entice the population to tie their interests with that of business in the systemic breakdown of community.
“You don’t need community! You can be an independent family that survives only by the sweat of your own brow! We (owning class businesses) will ‘provide’ all you need! Just work for us to make money so you can buy back the very things that you and your community labor to produce in the first place! Pay no mind to the fact the system fundamentally requires constant inflation of prices plus the suppression of wages in order to raise profit margins year-over-year so we keep the investors (the owning-class, again) happy!”
- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 3 weeks ago:
Which is why we have decades of medical science that has gone to great lengths to discover these things. They can’t be seen by the naked eye but they can be seen with a strong enough microscope. We know they exist and we know what they cause. We know how to prevent that from happening.
Yet these mouth breathing troglodytes have been conned into distrusting science on a fundamental level.

Some people, not all people.

Lol amazing. Who ever did this is a GOAT.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 3 weeks ago:
Want to mention that I really appreciate this reasonable, nuanced perspective of the situation that takes pains to see the humanity in the devs, that they are humans who make mistakes, and not ascribe malice to what can easily be ignorance.
The benefit of the doubt is lost in modern day and it’s nice to see it still being given.
- Comment on Santa rounds up migrants for ICE in Trump administration’s Christmas-themed AI video 3 weeks ago:
Not really surprising when you understand American culture’s glorification of authoritarianism so long as it’s dressed in nationalism, which is essentially what fascism is at its core.
America has always been a rampant shit hole of fascists and fascist enablers. Every good thing that came from this country was due to counterculture movements that specifically were trying to go against the mainstream.

Ain’t no action like direct action.
- Comment on Relatable. 4 weeks ago:
One Punch was funny because it was obvious satire. Mob Psycho tried too hard.

Me playing Oblivion for weeks before realizing I never continued the main quest after exiting the sewer.
- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 5 weeks ago:
Yup. Being disabled you’re basically fucked.

Oops, read my dates wrong it seems.
- Comment on This, a pen, and coffee 1 month ago:
This is exactly what they are doing, too. They are comparing a game from 2011 to games that came out 4 years later (Witcher 3) and over a decade later (Elden Ring in 2022)
Skyrim released alongside the OG Witcher and Dark Souls.
- Comment on This, a pen, and coffee 1 month ago:
Comparing Witcher 3/Elden Ring to Skyrim is just doing it a disservice. Skyrim released in 2011 alongside the original Witcher game and the first Dark Souls.
- Comment on This, a pen, and coffee 1 month ago:
This. The game only seems dull on the surface but the more you dig into the text and the background the lore is just sprawling.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
Then coming across a knee high wall or something you can easily just walk over blocking progression but, nope, can’t jump and the game isn’t treating it like stairs.
It’s such a small thing but can completely take the wind out of your sails when playing.

Oooh these are good pet peeves. Photo modes can be hit or miss.
I love the ones in the Spoderman games. Got some amazing screenshots from all 3
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
That’s normal. The brain isn’t able to process multiple sources at the same time, it has to bounce around and eventually too many inputs means nothing gets processed.
For those with APD, even a single input is a struggle.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
Not really. It’s less to do with hearing/perception and more how the human brain processes regular speech; neurodivergent people, like those with ADHD and/or autism like myself, process these things differently.
The brain processes singing differently than regular speech and the issue with audio processing disorder is that how we process regular speech makes it hard for us to hold conversation. Like I need people to repeat things a few times occasionally and if I’m not paying direct attention to the person speaking then voices are basically like “whomp-whomp” from Peanuts, so if someone calls for me while I’m doing something I straight up won’t know I’m being called for.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
Too bad PS5 doesn’t have steam.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
Audio processing disorder (AuADHD) so being narrated at is pretty much white noise for me; so can’t relate.

Aww, someone learned therapy speak and thinks they are smart.
