- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 1 day ago:
That’s because Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest aren’t making kids games anymore.
They’re remaking old games for nostalgia value for old gamers like me who played those games as a kid.
NGL I’m still waiting on the dragon warrior monsters remakes because I’d always been a bigger fan of those than any Pokémon game. I doubt it’s coming any time soon, but a guy can hope.
That’s the whole issue though. None of these studios are putting out games for modern kids. There just rehashing their old IPs and pretending they’re new games. Kids dont want spruce up 1990’s games. They want games for them.

Why do educated people tolerate stupid people when the world would be a better place without ignorance?
As a native American, I can say “fuck the french” with my whole chest. I get to keep a French last name on my birth certificate for the rest of my life as a consequence of their little colonial adventures.
Honestly fuck every single old world country right in the asshole. Every last syphilis carrying flea bag immigrant can fuck right off back across the sea with your horseshit. Anyone who cannot prove their family lived on this land back before 1200 AD is to be deported immediately after being burned with branding irons.

You are wrong. All thinking, feeling animals have the capacity for morality. Compassion and empathy have long been touted to be the traits that separate man from beast, but lo, compassion exists in the animal kingdom as well.
Nothing that makes people be people is significantly different than anything else found in the animal kingdom. Segregation of empathy is also a learned trait of those who trend towards lower overall intelligence.
- Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US. 2 weeks ago:
Picked it up during about 15 years as a welder. And I went to community College for a couple years where they had a shop program and learned to weld there.
That being said I could probably learn a lot by taking actual formal classes, especially with CNC these days. Everything I know is manual machining, which is a dying art these days. Most old machinists have either retired or died with their secrets. Under 40 and able to run a lathe or mill with any semblance of accuracy is a surprisingly rare trait these days.

As a matter of fact, they does not.
The lathe is from pre 1989 Hungarian People’s Republic though. It’d probably have some cool stories at the very least.

You picked the wrong line of work.
As a machinist, I’m not expected to work anywhere that’s not in front of a lathe or mill.

Someone find a nerd to do the math.
Based on the value of $1 USD on today, Jan 23 2026, on what date was $5 worth what $20 is today?

- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 5 weeks ago:
No no no. You just use the fusion to heat the water to make the steam to turn a turbine and then distribute that energy. Boom electric cars are a thing. While it’s technically possible to make a car with 0 petroleum products, it’s not financially viable in the current market.
Oil is remarkably cheap. I always find it funny that a gallon of gas and a gallon of water stay about the same price when one literally falls from the sky for free.

Fr all wine and grape derived liquor is yucky and gross. Find better drinks, like rum.

- Comment on The infantry will advance 1 month ago:
It’ll be a lot of guerilla tactics and IEDs. Iraq and Afghanistan proved exactly how well urban combat works against the US military complex.
Then will come assassinations, hoarding, and smaller scale civil conflicts. Think resource raids and good old fashioned territorialism.
If youll accept the analogy, the military is great at blowing up anthills, but pretty shit at finding and eliminating specific ants.

Had a bunch of wolf spiders in the last shop i worked at as a welder. They have eye shine like cats and alligators. It was always easy to tell the wolf spiders from black widows even behind a dusty welding machine because you can see the little wolf spider eyes looking back at you.

- Comment on Name your favourite prehistoric tree. 2 months ago:
Had a Gingko tree outside my childhood home up in Washington. We were right down the highway from Ginkgo Petrified Forest too. It was wild knowing a tree like the one at home stood just down the road ~ 16 MYA. Yeah, there aren’t a lot of gingkos in that park, and there’s plenty of other trees that have the same circumstance, but that gingko was special to me.

I have more fond memories of blood dragon than I do of farcry 3, despite blood dragon being like a 20 hour standalone dlc
- Comment on Wild Seals 3 months ago:
Well to be fair seals are a special kind of asshole among assholes. Some of the coast guard are chill, and the vast majority of the active forces are literally 18 and 19 year old children. Literally too useless to get an actual job. The only ones that stick around are either the assholes among assholes or the functionally unemployable.
- Comment on A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed. 3 months ago:
The guy ordered food, fell asleep on the couch, and woke up to a woman recording him nude in his own home. You know what that sounds like? Sounds a lot like sexual assault.
In fact, door dash has specific policies AGAINST going into private homes for exactly this kind of safety and privacy related concern. I have 59 year old relatives. You know what 100% of them have in common? A love of naps.
Keep white knighting for women you’ll never know, it’ll impress all your terminally online friends.

And if I’m asleep in the buff on my couch and you come over to look at my junk, you’re the pervert, not me. Screaming “sexual assault” like some kind of catch all for your own fuckups is not a magic spell that will make everything better. All you are doing is actively hurting the credibility of people who actually experience sexual assault. Read the material.
