- Comment on Baby boomers want to axe property taxes. Millennials and Gen Z would pay for it. 2 days ago:
Well… hoarding all of the generational wealth and then crying about the taxes being to high for you to keep it isn’t really the right thing to do either. We’re on the same side of the argument, but that won’t make anything change.

That brings in the discussion of zoning reform which these very same people would never support.
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 5 days ago:
Considering that they don’t notice until the trashcans land, that’s not a valid question. And obviously they’re not all looking in your direction when you yeet the trashcan, so again, invalid question.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 5 days ago:
Complete fear mongering. If you listen to any sound too loud from any source you can get hearing damage, but there’s no reason you need to listen to music too loud with headphones. To the contrary since headphones help block outside sounds (especially with modern noise cancelling headphones,) you can actually turn the music down and hear it just fine.
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 5 days ago:
I wanted that game to have good stealth mechanics, but it honestly didn’t. Start up the game, stealth into some shadows. Find a trash can, throw it 50’+ away from you and watch as every enemy within earshot runs directly at you.

They really want people to forget all about Concord.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 week ago:
This is what makes me sad every day. I’d love to be so rich money is just water out of a faucet to me, but at that point why not just do good? Like, even in a selfish way? If you’re so fucking rich that you can change the fates of nations, why not do it just out of hubris and the desire to be put in the history books? "CaptainBlinky, who was known as a relentless capitalist, died having given his 200 billion dollars in wealth before he died to solve homelessness in the nation and will be known forever as the “homemaker.” Like, why would you NOT do some sh like that? It boggles.

- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 week ago:
LMAO! My friend, he’s just saying it so he can get the government to buy a bunch of robots so he can meet the Tesla pay agreement requirements and become a trillionaire. There are so many reasons what your fantasy can’t and won’t happen.

year80 years - Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if you’re aware, but pubs have been around for literally thousands of years. Google tells me that "The oldest known pub in England is a contested title, but The Old Ferry Boat Inn in Cambridgeshire is often cited, with claims of serving drinks since (560) AD. "
I’m sure there were a lot of alcoholics to frequent the place over the past 1500 years or so, but I’m willing to bet that there were a lot of other people who just wanted a meal and a good conversation most days.

Fair, but what I’m saying is that it’s not only worth the price but I’d pay more having played it. 60 bucks? Probably not because I know I’m not that into extraction shooters, but it doesn’t feel like a discount game. Also, I was in my cups when I typed that.

You know what’s cool? Skins don’t impact gameplay at all! You don’t actually have to buy them!
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I just picked it up to play with a couple buds, and it’s GOOD. $39.99 good? No, just good. The vibe is great, the gunplay feels good, the extraction is forgiving. Definitely worth the price in my opinion.

Less weed? If not that, you’re probably staying up too late at night. Go to bed earlier than you have been. Get off the screens at least an hour before you want to to go sleep.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 1 month ago:
You need to get passed the first story arc, then it gets really good. It doesn’t really feel Star Trek™ at first, but that changes and it’s worth the journey.

That’s really a shame. Deus Ex deserves a full ground up remake.

I’ve literally never had to do that? And with uBlock Origin I don’t see ads at all.

NGL this sounds more like some manchild spewing his beliefs than some nefarious end of the world cult dude trying to manipulate the masses. I’m sorta relieved in a way.

I wasn’t too keen on that $70 basic version price tag in the first place, so thanks Randy. Can’t wait for it to be $39.99

That’s an option, but there were a lot of people involved in making the game. I’m not a fan of collective punishment. They most probably did their best, he’s just a shit spokesperson.

I’m not going to punish the entire development team just because he’s a tool.
