Yeah if you start analysing it and paying the slightest attention with -phobias in mind the whole thing starts looking at bit sus.

The real test of moneymaking ability online is how many times can you say LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE before you make an attempt on your own life?

Follow on question : would it be enjoyable (or even possible) just 2 players?
I only have one friend…
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 1 week ago:
Like when you look at the list of custom games, instead of just being weird and wonderful game modes and “chill no kill VC 18+” there was also “regular overwatch being played by regular people”
- Comment on Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division 1 week ago:
They had the Kinect which (ignoring all the negative press surrounding it) fucking slapped, and could easily have been integrated with a VR headset for full-body VR.
They have Blizzard which im pretty sure means they can put WoW on xbox but don’t even seem to have started.
They’re positioned to have the greatest console of all time and they’re just fucking around instead. It’s maddening.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 1 week ago:
Its weird how annoying the battle pass system is. On the one hand I get it, they want that sweet battle pass money that everyone else is getting, and I don’t really care about cosmetics anyway.
On the other hand, I paid full price for 1, and was willing to pay for the PvE, and it feels like they just said “fuck you pay me” out of nowhere.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 slaps 1 week ago:
I really wish there were custom games where they just play like quick play. I do believe its one of the best games out if not for the players. You either meet Sweaty Eddie who’s on the mic telling you to kill yourself because he thinks youre not winning hard enough, or the guy who thinks the game is to stand there and spam “hello” and the dance emote at the enemy.
I very very rarely get a game where people are just playing the game and enjoying themselves.
- Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you? 1 week ago:
within your normal viewing habits
Im now scared of having to show just mountains of specific soft core fetish porn to a whole room of people and be like “yep. Nightly mate.”

My wife does that. She’ll say she’s not mad and that she’s fine but the messages start ending with a.
Thats when I know im in trouble.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 1 week ago:
Oh my god I met a few of those people. Every single person that died they’d say it was the vaccine. Every time a headline about a celebrity that dies “yeah they SAY it was cancer, but they took the vaccine only 6 months ago, know what im saying? Open your eyes!”
Like mate, people aren’t just going to stop dying.
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 1 week ago:
Its like when people say “I can always spot trans people”. Yeah you’ve spotted 100% of the ones you’ve spotted.

That was remarkably well done how they handled that material, especially with how much of a joke American Dad makes things (which it should its a comedy cartoon but still).
I have to keep checking my weight on the scales and referring against the BMI charts because of that. I am fat right now, but looking back at pictures of myself I was very skinny for a while, but have always felt fat as fuck.

Better get it on the flag then ig

Thats way too busy. Should definitely just keep the rainbow flag. Not every little niche needs specific representation, just have the rainbow as a catchall for any kind of deviation from heterosex
- Comment on 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo 1 week ago:
Im completely oblivious to any of the enshittification, but like any online game the fun is long gone for most people. Skill floor is way too high. As soon as you join a match youre completely outskilled by everybody and its clear youre nothing but a hindrance to your team.
Your opponents laugh at you and style as hard as they can and your teammates resent your existence, assuming they stick around long enough to make it clear.
Hyper-competitive games are fun for about 3 months and then youre either in or out.

- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 2 weeks ago:
Vandal Hearts on PS1. I think its probably not as good as I remember, but I was a small child and it said the word “Bastard” and that was the most adult media I’d been (unknowingly) allowed to consume. I played that game hard.

- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2 weeks ago:
- That scared the crap out of me as a child. Absolutely no warning that it was coming.
Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There’s going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that’s basically it.

Right now they are. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Compared to just 20 years ago we’re living in the future. You may not have noticed the progress because you’d expect the future to includes hoverboards.
- Comment on There's a lot to be known about me by knowing who my exes are, what my favorite songs are to sing in the car, and my fast food orders. 2 weeks ago:
I guess for the fast food orders there could be some insights with enough volume and associated data (time, frequency, location.)
If someone suddenly started ordering loads or boycotted that one that decided homophobia was the way to go or something you could sense political leaning.
You could get a sense of allergies or vegetarianism.
You may figure out payday
Could maybe get a feel for menstrual cycles
Could figure out someone’s route home
Family size maybe.
Probably more idk.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 2 weeks ago:
In a way it’s more fair by design. In a completely fair game the most skilled player will always win. In a game like Mario Kart everyone has a chance to win.
As a kid my family wouldn’t play most games with me because I won every time. If we couldn’t do co-op mode we didnt play, and they’d still get grumbly on co-op because I’d be doing the heavy lifting and showing them up. They’d play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me though.
As an e-sport or “compare your online rank to mine and weep” dick-measurer it sucks. As a video game its very good.
