- Comment on Many of the younger generations of folks don't know what it's like to watch TV series out of order by virtue of channel surfing on live TV and grabbing random episodes here and there 4 days ago:
This sounds like it could be incredible. If it was done well enough, with enough care and attention, it has serious potential as a concept.
I bet its shit though.
- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 5 days ago:
Ive been worried a bit about that compromat situation. My Internet history alone makes me easily politically assassinatable if I ever try and take up politics.
Dont worry, nothing illegal, but it’d be enough. This guy got took out by an ill timed stealth photograph of him eating a sandwich. I’d be toast.

Thats actually a pretty smart naming convention. I’d be a little less prone to asking my friends for help because “i got a gayfemboy ihearttwinks virus or something from the Internet.”

All the new recruits in the army, literally polishing a turd, because theyre scared of the sergeant and dont know if this is a hazing thing or what

If an alien species has 12 fingers to our 10, would they work in base 12 as normally as we use 10s? Like would their whole system end (or start) with a 0 or equivalent and not end all different?
My maths coherence is too high-school for this thinking, but now its in there.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 6 days ago:
Im not sure which bits would be getting made up in response to this. Americans need hella security because school shootings are real. Europeans need minimal security because they simply aren’t. Its a risk assessment thing. I dont think any of our schools, either side of the pond, are secure against ICBM attacks, because theyre unlikely to actually happen.

How many times did it crash? I enjoyed it, then it crashed and I didnt enjoy that segment as much, then it crashed again and it was a chore, then I got to the next checkpoint, and then it crashed and I did it again, and then it crashed and now its dead to me.
- Comment on Misogyny or something... Idk 1 week ago:
I feel a little bad for it, but like Im also looking at billboards, shop windows, my own reflection in cars, cats running across the road, cool looking bikes going past, odd shaped dog turds, the writing on the back of the guys shirt in front of me.
I dont have the mental fortitude to keep my eyes locked at exactly 12 o clock all the time I’m existing.
I kinda resent being made to feel bad for it.

Yeah its been a wild ride since 2001. I’m not even American but it felt like the whole world kinda shifted gears after that.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
How long until it gets good? I spent about 90 minutes on it last week, because the Silksong hype was rolling hard and I didnt want to get left behind, but it just felt like fumbling around and nothing really happening.
Is it just not for me or did I not reach the good bits yet?
- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 1 week ago:
Its a bit psychologically tense, but the “classically-scariest” thing is when you lose a game and he reaches out to grab you.
It gets a bit conceptually intense, but theres no super-scary monsters or jumpscares or anything. Nothing ever comes up right behind you while the violins intensify.
- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 1 week ago:
Not sure why you got the down arrow treatment there, its exactly right. StS is the undisputed king of this arena, but nonetheless Inscryption delivered one of the best experiences in gaming I’ve ever had.
Its up there with Bioshocks big twist, landing on Halo, and the Sith planet on KOTOR.
- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 1 week ago:
Im not sure I’ll ever find another game that hits me like that. For me it came on gamepass and that was the first id heard of it. I had no idea what it was going to do.
I did doki doki literature club a long time ago, but it was famous for doing a thing. Everyone was talking about it. They wouldn’t tell you what the thing was oh no iykyk lol bro u just gotta play it bro. It was great but I went into it knowing that something was coming, so when it did I just went “huh neat.”
Ive been told the guy that made inscryption also did other things that are also hella cool, but im refusing to pay attention to any of it. For these things to hit right, they need to be stumbled into by accident. Its not an incredible surprise if you go into it knowing.
- Comment on Make America Great! 1 week ago:
I think we’re more acutely aware of how much we suck because since the Internet took off and we should be able to communicate with anyone on the planet (within reason. Obviously madfrit tribes with spears in the jungle dont) we should have reached a new age of peace and enlightenment. Scientists can share ideas instantly so science goes through the roof, and commoners across borders can talk so we know eachother is being fed propaganda and nobody really wants to send their sons to die killing the other ones sons.
Unfortunately it somehow seems to have turned into a propaganda machine itself and gives us outlets to be awful to eachother with relative anonymity.
We could have had it all…

That seems like a strangely backwards way to word it in my mind. Thats around the time the Internet stopped being “the internet” to me.

I wonder what the ancient fried memes are going to look like all “fixed”.
The memes from when cameras sucked anyway and then got saved and resaved and reshared and compressed.

God damn I wish I’d stumbled across that naturally instead of being forced into it because i cant tell you lol spoilers iykyk lol dude you gotta play it.
Tap for spoiler
I found Inscryption naturally though, I had no idea it was gonna do half the shit it did. That cheered me right up.
