- Comment on The Morbidly Rich Have Killed the American Dream 2 days 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. 2 days 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.

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' 5 days 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 5 days 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.

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.

Yup. Being disabled you’re basically fucked.

Oops, read my dates wrong it seems.
- Comment on This, a pen, and coffee 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 5 weeks 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

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 5 weeks 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.

Too bad PS5 doesn’t have steam.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 5 weeks ago:
Audio processing disorder (AuADHD) so being narrated at is pretty much white noise for me; so can’t relate.

- Comment on Where childhood goes to wait for its shift to start. 5 weeks ago:
They had game stations before even in the play place days.
They couldn’t even bother to at least keep it similar to those where they at least looked whimsical for the children. They were just colorful stands with 3 or 4 screens and knockoff looking controllers. Some had chairs others you had to stand because the controller height was weird.
These corpo twits are so out of touch with reality.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 5 weeks ago:
Games (and really any consumable media) that just don’t know when to end.
Watched a gameranx video the other day about this. It’s the lack of closure. Players need that catharsis and pay off for all their efforts or else it inevitably starts to feel pointless rather than fun.
Even MMO’s had a closure for their main story arcs and you played the end game content. The new Live Service model though doesn’t like that cause it means they can’t milk it for eternity. They’d have to keep making new stories and actual game content but that is time consuming and meticulous for creative industries. You can’t pump it out like you can cosmetics and battle passes.
It’s honestly a huge issue in the industry. The gameranx video goes much deeper into the topic.

Chasing people to pop their balloons around the multi-tier, colored blocks level was always a great afternoon.

These screenshots slapped me back into 1998. I loved that river level. Jumping the boat felt so fucking cool.

Reactive armor. Weird physics stuff makes this kind of armor plating more effective at distributing forces of impact, this less damage to the tank itself.
