Oh yeah I bought BG3 on release. Now that is a good game. All other AAA are held to that standard imo. Looking forward to the update with all the new specs.

Last 2 triple A games I’ve bought (Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Civ 7) have both been awful. Meanwhile I spend 15 on a game like Roboquest and play it for 30 hours.

I haven’t bought anything Nintendo in years… but I can’t lie, that open world mario kart game looks sick.

Far too many bots on reddit. Half the time I wasn’t sure if I was talking to a real person.
- 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 1 week ago:
It’s honestly been one of the most disappointing games I’ve ever picked up. Civ 6 was my first. I would play it well into the night. I was addicted.
At this point I forgot civ 7 even came out until I saw this to remind me. I played maybe 250 turns total over a couple games and dropped it. I have no desire to pick it up. The map generation is bad and the age system is formulaic. Makes it feel like on the rails for the same thing every single game.

Yup. It’s ridiculous that it’s snowballed into this precious secret that you have to give to most employers 🤦🏻

Huh, at a glance, that might actually be a good use for the blockchain.

Wasn’t going to bother answering because it was an asinine question. Obviously the first one.

I assume most people’s social security numbers are out on the dark web nowadays.
Salt typhoon leak a few months ago released 60 million of them iirc.

Social security numbers need to be phased out. Such a ridiculous and outdated system.

I was talking about this with my friend the other day. I was looking for car insurance right. I went to Geico and I was just about ready to lock in to a plan for 1000$. I had a question I needed answered so I went to support. What I got was a worthless chatbot that ended up costing Geico my business. I was so displeased I ended up going to progressive.
But that begs the question: do Geico executives make more money off the increased stock valuation that comes from implementing a chatbot despite losing my real, cash business?
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
Reddit removed a picture of 3 people standing around a cybertruck from the front page today because it “went against community guidelines”
- Comment on Remember the good old days? 2 weeks ago:
Too many people don’t understand that politics decides whether or not they’d be a bonafide slave.
Without laws in place there would be slaveowners today. Jeff Bezos? Elon Musk? They’d own slaves if they could.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
Israel is doing terrible things, but it simply doesn’t compare to the atrocities of the Third Reich. Almost nothing does. It’s important we don’t downplay just how horrible the Nazi regime was.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
Now imagine what we don’t see.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
Someone living in Palestine, someone living in Israel, and someone directly working with Hamas are all going to have their own perceptions and opinions on Hamas.
Hamas is going to mean many different things to those 3 different individuals.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
Most of Palestinians are under the age of 18. Basically telling a bunch of kids he’s going to kill them.

- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s a good point. As a kid I felt like when I bought a game it’d at least be complete, but there were plenty of terrible games back then too.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 2 weeks ago:
New games are steaming piles of shit most of the time nowadays.
