I'm just your average Canadian arctic wolf. I'm a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

I used to watch AXP and still watch Matt Dillahunty every now and then. It really is wild how shocked and offended most of the callers get when they actually face resistance and are told to back up their beliefs with evidence. None ever can.

Just like most religious folk, they didn’t actually read their own holy book. Just whatever was cherrypicked and spoonfed to them by their religious leaders.

Is it really a scavenger hunt to open Steam, open the store, and search for the game? It takes minimal effort…

The job of a CEO is to make the line go up, and that almost always comes at the expense of the consumer and the quality of the product itself.

Yeah, that tracks. It’s a lot easier to be a dick on the internet than to be a dick to someone face to face where there might be actual consequences. I’m sure you’re a very pleasant and not at all toxic person. Definitely.

That’s unhealthy. It makes you an unpleasant person to be around, and I hope you don’t treat people in person the way you’ve treated people here.

I’m sorry that you’re having such a bad day that you feel that you need to take it out on other people with such aggression. Perhaps you should go for a walk and clear your head.
- Comment on Thank Goodness You're Here - most absurd & hilarious game what did I just play? 1 week ago:
That’s weirdly aggro for something it’d take you, like, 2 minutes at most to look up and find for yourself. You don’t need to rely on OP or anyone else to do it for you.
- Comment on Day 509 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
I love MKWii and the mods for it, but god does the game have the worst item balancing in the series. The AIs are all constantly spamming POW Blocks and Blue Shells, which often get rid of your item right as a Red Shell or two are headed your way. There’s no invincibility buffer after getting hit by the Blue Shell either, so you get hit by the Reds too. The fact the Blue Shell instantly stops you in place while sending you flying upwards instead of sending you flying forwards like in other Mario Karts means it’s an even worse time loss. And it’s not uncommon to get hit by multiple in one lap.
Still my favourite Mario Kart, just very frustrating sometimes.

It’s much easier to imagine your opponent crying, throwing a tantrum, and pissing everywhere in rage than it is to actually come up with a real response to what they’re saying.

Same with unskippable cutscenes, especially before a difficult boss. It’s no fun to have to sit through it over and over if I’m struggling with said boss, or have to sit through a cutscene I’ve seen several times in previous playthroughs. This also applies to the game’s credits.

Speaking of gen 5, here’s a very strong sun team I’ve crafted up in Volt White 2 Redux: Sunflora with Drought for setting up sun, Sawsbuck as my Chlorophyll sweeper, Volcarona as a Quiver Dance sweeper, Victini as a Choice Scarf revenge killer and scout, Excadrill for rapid spinning Stealth Rocks away and tanking hits, and Emolga for paralyzing threats and abusing Volt Switch. Even the water gym didn’t stand a chance!

Renegade Platinum’s the way to go. There’s much more pokemon variety, the trainers are stronger and smarter, and there’s plenty of QOL fixes that make it feel more modern.

They don’t know how to handle dissenting information to their narrative. Dessalines does a good job keeping the .mls in an echo chamber by banning anybody who disagrees with him or dissents in any way.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 5 weeks ago:
I did notice the sudden influx of new accounts under the cm0002 name, I wasn’t entirely sure it’s actually the same guy or somebody impersonating him. I don’t see why he’d need that many, and most of the accounts are very new despite him having been around for a long time.

They think they’re some unique “alpha”, meanwhile they all adopt the same exact look: A camo-covered outfit, Oakleys, and the douchiest haircut you can think of. Zero individuality.

Religious people are taught from birth to blindly believe what is told to them by authority figures and to take things on faith instead of thinking critically. It’s no big surprise that people like that are easy to manipulate and prone to worshipping said authority figures.

Needs at least 2 more broken down parted-out pickup trucks or cars, several dozen Trump and America flags, and much more random junk all over the lawn. Bonus points if none of said vehicles or junk have moved in years.
