- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 3 days ago:
Just imagine, for a moment, having your salary even being a million dollars a year. Even with a mortgage and kids, that would be a fuckload of money. 95 times that is insane. Even after buying multiple supercars, a mansion, and a fancy boat, you’d still have more money than you could possibly use, ever. And that’s just one year of pay.
God, even if you invested part of a million a year, you’d be fantastically wealthy.

Reminds me of the Naked Gun folding bed scene, haha

A one man environmental disaster. J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley “had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth’s history”
- Comment on ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder 1 week ago:
Heh, they already beat you to it. If you haven’t seen Her, you really should. It’s a very poignant movie, but it has a good ending. It is extremely fitting as people get lonely.
- Comment on ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder 1 week ago:
Honestly, I feel like some of what AI does isn’t necessary. If you’re having trouble finding out if someone is either being distant out of respect, or distant because they are uninterested, you could ask them in a kind way about what their vibes are. I think I’d prefer honesty over AI, and that’s what I did when I was single and still dating.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 3 weeks ago:
I still want to play MGSV, but it’s currently not on sale. My guess is because of the latest remaster.
- Comment on PayPal's Honey to integrate with ChatGPT and other AIs for shopping assistance 3 weeks ago:
It’s a scam. I’m surprised people haven’t gone to jail, though in the current climate, you know none of them would see a cell.

I miss those days!

Was she the “challenge everything” voice too?
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Pacific Drive has amazing music. So good that I started following some of the bands behind it. The Smoky Brights are a new favorite of mine.

Ugh, I hate how there’s no opt out. Just read a good blog post on dark patterns, written by a furry. It’s a good post.
- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 1 month ago:
It’s more of a thriller than horror. No jump scares or anything.
- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 1 month ago:
It is such a great game! And the post-game is one of the strongest I’ve seen in recent memory. I always recommend it. It’s also a great game to play on planes, since you don’t need a mouse.
- Comment on Gun enthusiast who told police officer 'we are coming for you' faces jail 1 month ago:
FAFO, a tale as old as time.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 month ago:
I wish there were more games that had NSFW stuff, but not as the main focus. BG3, Cyberpunk, The Witcher, etc all have nudity, but the sex scenes are short, cropped, and half assed because they are embarrassed.
There needs to be quicktime events, better cinematics, and werewolves (BG3, Elder Scrolls, Witcher) during erotic scenes. Bring back A/O games. Many of these shouldn’t be even remotely aimed at anyone below 18 anyways.
Hell, the last genuinely fun game with kink in it was Saints Row 3, and that was for comedic effect.
- Comment on The Size of Adobe Reader Installers Through The Years 1 month ago:
I just use Firefox’s built-in reader these days. Typically I like standalone programs, but PDFs seem like something that can easily be integrated into a browser.

Every user gets $.003 cents as part of the settlement.
- Comment on Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 just another ‘lazy’ addition to the franchise? 2 months ago:
It got lazy around Black Ops 1.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong - Special Announcement Stream (starts in 48 hours) 2 months ago:
Alyx honestly lived up to the hype. The only things that bugged me were that enemies were too slow (the fast zombie was removed entirely) and certain objects like coats weren’t able to be picked up like they could in Boneworks. I wanted to throw a coat over zombies and beat them like a pinata with a crowbar. :)
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
Hal0 4 and Below Zero come to mind. Facebook buying beatsaber and ruining it with their filthy little hands, too. It took a huge nosedive in quality.
- Comment on Pebble is officially Pebble again 2 months ago:
I want a watch that isn’t a pain in the ass to set alarms, timers, timezones, etc. I also want 24H time and many days of battery life.
That’s why I’m getting it. It will be nice for cooking and work, haha.
- Comment on Pebble is officially Pebble again 2 months ago:
It should be. Once it’s out.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 months ago:
If it’s any consolation, I’m sure the American versions (Focus on the family, alliance defending freedom) are right there with them.
Props to them for figuring out a real way of imposing colonialism on impoverished countries and former colonies alike. Now their ideas and laws are spreading worldwide, like someone with diseases shitting into the local water supply. Ugh.
I have a terrible feeling that the people they duped won’t figure this out for 30 years or more, with some trappings lasting for 50+ years.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 months ago:
I’m so sick of this. What if we don’t want saving? Just fuck off.
I’ve got friends in both places, and I highly doubt God is gonna give you extra karma or brownie points for converting someone to a made up religion that’s like, maybe 200 years old, lol.
Go gardening. Volunteer at a big cat rescue place. Stop wasting your life preaching something that deep down, you probably don’t even believe in, but is distracting you from something else in your life that could be resolved with therapy.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 months ago:
They cannot help it. They literally think about it all the time, and there’s no helping people like collective shout or the crazies on the street. The unwashed ones with the “you’re going to hell for gay sex” signs.
I see the same people on the street all the time. And they think about it WAY more than I do, and I’m married to a person of the same goddamn sex, lol.
Some people really need to cut loose. Generally, I’m not pro-drugs, but damn, they need some hard party drugs to reset things and help them get back to a normal life. Go to burning man, get a good job, then go hike the Appalachian trail or something, for Christ sake.
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 2 months ago:
This one was the Australians. Collective Shout did that, a fucking crazy org if you look into their past. Murdoch was the virus that infected the world, though. Most Aussies are great people, but damn, their evil people really plumb the depths.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 months ago:
Don’t you just love people that can’t mind their own fucking business?
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 2 months ago:
Damn, Rupert Murdoch and now this asshole. Australia has a monopoly on ruining media, lol.
- Comment on What are your favorite apps for public transit and bike navigation? 2 months ago:
Transit is pretty good for turn by turn on bikes!
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 3 months ago:
This is so annoying. Even though I’m not a fan of porn games on the whole, it is extremely irritating that payment systems can decide how and when you can spend your own fucking money. We’re not seven, anymore. We can take care of ourselves.
It smacks of the idiotic “babyproofing” of clearly adult spaces everywhere except bars, these days. Antiquated moral panics, just like 1954’s lavender scare all over again.
