- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 2 days ago:
What if you just didn’t go home at first? Hit a climbing gym with buddies, or buy an ebike and use that to commute home. Interrupting your normal schedule and psychologically making home only a place of rest might help you reset your life a bit.
You don’t have to spend money either. You could even just hit up a park, the library, or hang out with buddies. We tend to go swimming lots once standard time hits.
- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 2 days ago:
I usually use something bleach-based for toilet and sinks, as they can start to get funky, especially around tile. Sometimes a bleach powder for the tub bottom, if it gets dirty and is difficult to scrub with simple green. I sometimes swap between simple green and bleach-based, depending on what I’m wearing. I’ve destroyed multiple pieces of clothing with bleach, unfortunately. It does really clean dirty things easily, though.
Also, alcohol wipes can clean walls, if they start to get dirty (eg, bug droppings, pollen, etc. we keep our windows open in summer)

Don’t forget the steep tariffs!
- Comment on Do air purifiers really reduce dust much? 6 days ago:
Anecdotally, yes. I was able to go from dusting my PC every 3-6mo to every year.
The filters are completely fuzzy on the air filters every 6-12 mo. I still vacuum and dust, just way less frequently. I also don’t wear shoes in the house.

Also, for what it’s worth, hot sauce also makes you feel way more full/less hungry. If you need an addition.
- Comment on Good Halloween Games 2 weeks ago:
Inscryption, 100%. Such a good game. Tons of post game content, too.
- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 1 month ago:
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) 2 months 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) 2 months 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 2 months ago:
FAFO, a tale as old as time.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 2 months 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 2 months 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? 3 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 3 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 3 months ago:
It should be. Once it’s out.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 3 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.

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.
