- Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed 22 hours ago:
I mean, I feel like just shutting it down would solve at least some problems. Shuttering it all, video sharing platforms included.
Not a situation most anyone would agree on, but it’s an idea.
- Comment on Portal, but the portal surfaces are inverted 3 days ago:
Saw this a while ago and it’s pretty cool. Some of the solutions to some puzzles definitely feel too RNG for even someone like myself who loves randomness. Specifically the ones where you gotta hit the energy pellet into the receptacle, near the end of the testing track.

- Comment on When was the last time your top 1 overall anime got changed? 1 week ago:
I haven’t been watching nearly as much as I used to ( which even then was only a fair amount ), so my favorite hasn’t changed in a few years. My top went from FMA ( which I’m gonna say the most heretic thing according to a subset of rabid MAL users: I like it more than Brotherhood ) to Beastars when season 1 came to netflix outside of Japan.

Swift could easily get a lawsuit set up against them and most likely win. If she did, she’s already won the court of public perception or whatever it’s called ( drawing a blank ) because of how popular she is. I guarantee if she told people not to use grok or ex-twitter, a large of the swifties on the platform would run faster than Usain Bolt to delete their accounts.
- Comment on Count yourself lucky 1 week ago:
Definitely.
Although, I don’t think I’d go for a full suit for my fursona because I’ve never imagined them naked, I’ll agree this is a good idea.
- Comment on Count yourself lucky 1 week ago:
I have thought about that, but for the first one I get, if I ever get one, I’m probably gonna get one without just to make sure I can handle it. Last thing I want is to spend a ton of money on a fursuit with a ton of extras only to find my body cannot handle it, with or without fans.
- Comment on So GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games. 1 week ago:
I’ve played a bit of it ( haven’t finished ) and so far it’s pretty good. I totally wish I didn’t see a playthrough of their other game, Detention, around 2018, so I could go in for a completelt blind playthrough like I am for Devotion.
- Comment on Count yourself lucky 1 week ago:
That’s why I’m definitely gonna get a partial if I ever get a fursuit. All I need is the head, hand paws, and tail. Then I’d be set… as soon as I get a bunch of sweat reduction clothing and more black pants and long sleeve shirts.
- Comment on What's your preferred way of buying games? (digital/physical/physical digital) 1 week ago:
For older titles, depends on if I can find them at a good price. At one point I got a bundle of old Popcap titles for a lot cheaper on Steam than if I bought each individual game on physical disk.
Though, if it’s not being sold on any digital stores, I’ll see what the price might be like on eBay and if I deem it too expensive ( varies depending on how I feel about the franchise and a few other factors ), I’ll just not both getting a physical copy, if you catch my drift.
I don’t mind physical copies of games at all, for a good price. Especially for older titles. It’s why I bought Morrowind and Oblivion GOTY edition at a thrift shop. Prices were low and they’re games that are high enough quality for me to consider playing.
No comment on newer titles because this is the patient gamer community.

One of my gripes with that game is the singular ending for the main game. Otherwise it definitely feels new compared to the original.

Heard about this earlier. The situation sucks, but at least this is better than nothing.
- Comment on Be nice 2 weeks ago:
The cost of all stuffed animals at a thrift shop.
Then I could easily work on increasing the amount of rescues I will have. It’s currently 1.5 rescue to 4 others ( purchased at a store, gift shop, gift, etcetera ).
My goal to someday have more rescues than store bought would be a little easier.
Oh yeah, and kids would have an easier time accessing them because $1 stuffed animals are a lot easier to convince a parent to buy than a $5.99 stuffed animal. But I don’t like kids, so they were an afterthought!

Not much could be done if we did pressure them like that. Sacrifices sometimes need to be made to keep the elite in line.

Fair enough.
- Comment on Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material 2 weeks ago:
What’s stoping a group like Collective Shout from then forcing the payment processors from going after whatever web domain registrar they get their name from? Or, assuming they don’t use their own hardware, which is extremely likely, that they go after whoever they go through for hosting their website?
As great of an idea as just switching payment processors is, that won’t stop those puritanical pricks because they’ll just switch targets and get the whole website/service taken down if it means fulfilling their Satan guided goals being done in the name of Jesus.
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 2 weeks ago:
ultimately just another Minecraft clone.
For the most part I would agree. Though there are absolutely some games on there that make it feel like a standout product. Those games being shorter games called “Glitch” and “Eyeballs”. They do a good enough job of showcasing how you could use Luanti as a legitimate game platform. But other than those, would agree that it falls into the clone category.
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 2 weeks ago:
As much as I don’t wanna recommend it for personal gripes, I’d say go with minecraft if you want more content in general due to the size of the fan base.
If you don’t care as much and just wanna play a voxel sandbox game and don’t care about having as big of a backlog of fan made content, Luanti ( formerly MineTest ) is a fine enough platform.
The drawbacks for mc, in my opinion, are pretty much things like chat verification ( assuming they actually went through with that ) for basically all messages you send, even in single player mode. And, assuming they didn’t back down and did parity on java with the bedrock version that chat and signs are censored to make sure in every single way you play, either online or single player, is child friendly by replacing all characters with asterisks. I personally left over both of those because I prefer not being treated like a child and having parental controls forced on me.
Also, drawback for mc bedrock is how they, still, after years have bugs where you’ll just randomly start taking damage or will be placing blocks that will not actually place, causing you to die from falling if you are high enough or other similar bugs. Works in single player, too, as far as I’m aware. Rubber banding kind of issues that I don’t know if they’ve actually fixed yet. I’d hope they have, but I doubt it. There’s a reason I’ve heard that version be called “bugrock” many times before in the past. Besides that, the bedrock version is also home to a marketplace where you have to use purchased in-game currency. Just something to keep in mind, despite it not being something you have to ever use. Also, that version doesn’t have access to basically any of the mods the java version has.
The drawbacks with Luanti are the fact that there’s a much more limited amount of content available in comparison to the behemoth mc. You have some games like VoxeLibre ( formerly MineClone2 ) and Age of Mending that are getting updated, but there are a lot more games not being updated because they’re either already completed or abandoned. You’ll also have some trial and error if you turn on a lot of mods for your save in any of the games because even if they say they’ll work in a game because dependencies are met, you still might have mods that instantly crash your save and give you an error that they won’t work for some reason or another. If you know lua you might be able to fix the errors, but do you really want to spend all that time fixing errors and getting a mod to work or would you rather just play without them? Same sort of problem, depending on the game, applies if you apply mods like Unified Inventory or any other Just Enough Items type inventory changing mods, like if you try on VoxeLibre. Haven’t figured out how to get Unified Inventory to work on there.
On the subject of specific games, for VoxeLibre ( one of the games trying to be a Luanti parity of minecraft ), you’ll probably be updates upon updates behind minecraft for a really long time or until the devs either quit or are forced to quit by macrohard/mojangles sending a cease and desist letter or something similar. Features that work just fine on mc, like redstone, might be buggy or don’t work the exact same on voxelibre. For example, due to differences in TNT explosion physics ( I assume ), TNT cannons don’t work despite the redstone for basic ones working just fine. Also, as a fault of Luanti in general, if you look in controls, your “Aux1” key is the sprint key in voxelibre, but absolutely nothing tells you that.

To see all Oaken Tower players have their computer mice overheat when playing that game. To the point where an hour of playing it would make their mice unusable.

- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 weeks ago:
I know this is more of a serious thing, but I was thinking that I kinda hope these payment processors try to ban some big European company over some puritanical bullshit and then Europe responds with threatening a complete ban on them to put them in line. Ain’t no way any payment processor would ever risk being banned in one of the largest markets in the world.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 weeks ago:
Assuming we’re being facetious here, 100% agree.
Hell, if extwitter gets banned, it’d be hilarious because then there would probably be laws changed to ensure only the government can select what gets banned. Though, not so hilarious in the current state of the world.

That’s some real good odds if you ask me.
Anytime I see a conservative group like them, regardless of country of origin, try to take the moral high ground on anything sexual related, I immediately assume there’s a 500% chance they’re trying to get the exact same thing they do in private banned for everyone else.

Kinda fucked up that this person moderated hate posts only to find the child predators posting images of their kids on a different forum.
Don’t know about you, but whenever I see hate groups specifically targeting children, I think the intention is very clear. Not just spreading hate, but also wanting to act on one of the socially forbidden sex acts as well.
- Comment on What's a video game that can run on any sort of device?(besides doom and pong) 3 weeks ago:
I vote we try it with a bunch of old point and click adventure games like Monkey Island or any other that have simplistic enough graphics and gameplay. Couldn’t tell you how to do it because I don’t know what code they run and how inefficient it could be by the standards at the time, but I feel like a lot of old point and click games could probably run just fine on a lot of modern devices that aren’t computers, if given a Doom level community support.
