To be fair, I don’t watch either of those youtubers. So I had no knowledge of this.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 21 hours ago:
If a game isn’t easy to play with a controller then I’m probably just not going to play it with a controller to begin with honestly, track pads or no. If I have to mess with stuff in desktop mode on my steam deck then I use the pads but otherwise, I haven’t really found them useful.
- Comment on What is a diaspora population supposed to do if their current country of citizenship is at war with their ancestral homeland? 21 hours ago:
Do what you find morally best in that situation. Loyalty to a nation is honestly stupid to begin with. Use your brain and think. And if that means staying out of it, then stay out of it.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 1 day ago:
Sadly I’ve got too many programs that don’t work on linux, or don’t work well. And and old synthesizer that I can’t imagine would work on linux unless I made a driver for it myself, and that’s a bit beyond me.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 day ago:
I don’t know if it’ll be VR but the short version is there’s a lot of code in the source 2 updates that directly point to the development of a new half-life game.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 days ago:
With the fact there’s apparently surprisingly reasonable evidence of a new half life game, I wonder if that’s likely to get announced when they give these a release date. I could see them bundling it with the steam machines at least. Assuming the rumors turn out to be true.

So it doesn’t besides the point where it does.

“We send our deepest sympathies to the cat’s owner”
Did you even read it?
- Comment on Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco 1 week ago:
Did you read it? Or did you just ctrl+f “pet”? Because it specifically mentions the cat having an owner.
- Comment on Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco 1 week ago:
If you let your cat roam around outside, you don’t care about it and don’t deserve it. And if it gets killed, it’s entirely your fault.
- Comment on The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You 1 week ago:
Ya’ll still have Facebook accounts?
- Comment on The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You 1 week ago:
Ads can work on me but it’s context dependent.
If it’s something I was already aware of and wanting, I have noticed that it can push my mind further in the direction of wanting to get it.
The other context is food. Like, if I’m hungry and I see an ad for food, it always looks like it’d hit the spot even if I know it wouldn’t.
The psychology of advertising is very interesting especially when you can actively feel its effects on yourself.

- Comment on Nvidia and Uber Say They're Building a 100,000-Vehicle Robotaxi Network 2 weeks ago:
Two companies I couldn’t trust less for this kind of concept. They should get tesla in on it too to make it a complete dumpster fire.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 3 weeks ago:
I thought Tumblr was the hellsite
Damn Twitter really DOES steal everything from there…
- Comment on Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game" 3 weeks ago:
Okay but hasn’t AMD been making GPUs long before she was with the company

Nah the young people are laughing about this as much as anyone else.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Honestly nothing makes me feel more disconnected with the general gaming populace than the sheer popularity of extraction shooters. Every single one of them looks and sounds unfun. Also they tend to look incredibly generic.
But they’re popular so what do I know.
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 5 weeks ago:
I recommend giving graffiti kingdom a try. It’s a 3d platform er where you draw your own character.
- Comment on Day 438 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been playing 7 remake a bit and I know a lot of additions were meant to flesh out the world in what’s actually a really small chunk of the original game. But I found a lot of the additions, though not all, to feel more like unnecessary padding than good fleshing out.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 month ago:
I buy CDs a lot. I love CDs. I love ripping them.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 1 month ago:
I’m a novice when it comes to the language as a heads up. But my understanding is that generally most of these incredibly vulgar ways of saying “you” came about because they were originally actually respectful ways of referring to someone. But as time passed, people began using them ironically. So a term that was originally respectfully used to refer to someone of higher status is now only used if you’re basically cursing someone out.
Japanese doesn’t really have swear words, it’s mostly just words that are incredibly disrespectful or otherwise inappropriate for certain context.
There’s also 貴様 (kisama) which is basically so comically rude because, to my understanding, saying it implies everyone is inferior to you by default.

An incredibly vulgar way of saying “you” in Japanese.
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 1 month ago:
The intense racism on steam is seriously fucked up. And it’s ever-present.
The game does look fun though. It kinda reminds me of that old 2D Mirror’s Edge game for old iPhones but a lot better.
- Comment on Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handhelds Cost Up to $999.99, Preorders Open Now 1 month ago:
Way not worth it for me. Justifiable price for it’s performance? Maybe. That doesn’t actually matter to me. I bought a steam deck years ago. I bought a switch 2. Power is not my big concern with these systems. I have a proper PC for that. I want a reasonable portable system that can play the kinds of games I’d like to play while waiting somewhere. While laying in bed. While sitting outside because it’s a nice day. I don’t need insane hardware for that. The games that need that I’d play on my computer.
At the same time a Microsoft product these days screams garbage anyway.
- Comment on Both Sega and PocketPair are taking jabs at Nintendo and I'm loving it 1 month ago:
I mean I have no actual respect for any of these companies. Their goal is money before anything else. Them “taking shots” at one another is meaningless to me.
- Comment on Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70 1 month ago:
Why couldn’t you believe that? So many other games announce whole season passes before launch. This is super common.

I can’t imagine this would be any less soulless feeling.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 2 months ago:
Story matters in a lot of games to me. But not in borderlands. I play borderlands for the looting and shooting basically. And 3’s the best at that. Though I’ve heard 4 is even better still in that regard.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 2 months ago:
3 was the best out of all of them from a gameplay perspective. People don’t like the story but I never cared for any of the borderlands stories personally.
