| Topic | Have you come to terms with your eventual purgatory? |
| myusernameislame 05/07/24 3:56:19 PM #5 | I don't think I've even had a message moderated in close to two decades, and even back then when I was a stupid teen I think it was only a handful of times. I'm pretty sure I'll be good. |
| Topic | MS closes Hi Fi Rush studio |
| myusernameislame 05/07/24 3:42:22 PM #84 | Can we not do this console wars garbage? I feel like we're well past the point where there's any value in arguing over which megacorporation's shit stinks the least. The whole industry is a disaster. |

| myusernameislame 05/07/24 12:09:50 PM #58 | ssb_yunglink2 posted... Microsoft is one of, if not the the largest company in gaming. This wasnt a shutdown out of necessity, its greed Society has collectively decided that greed IS necessary. For all we preach about the virtues of caring for others and how money isn't everything, we've spent many decades tuning our systems to make sure that the greedy choice is always the "correct" one. |
| Topic | Are we sure Biden isn't a Republican? |
| myusernameislame 05/03/24 1:54:53 AM #16 | Sadly, nowadays it takes more than just being right wing to be Republican, and for all his faults Biden isn't insane or stupid enough to clear the bar. |
| Topic | Metal Gear Solid 5... Good game or nah? |
| myusernameislame 05/02/24 11:29:36 AM #47 | RetuenOfDevsman posted... Great so a $30 demo and two $60 demos TPP is more than double the length of the next longest game in the franchise. More isn't better if it's mostly padding. |
| Topic | Metal Gear Solid 5... Good game or nah? |
| myusernameislame 05/02/24 2:18:01 AM #41 | As much backlash as there would've been in light of selling GZ separately, the best thing they could've done, IMO, to salvage such an overambitious mess would've been to split it up more. Instead of doing Afghanistan and Africa in one game, put all the dev time into making Afghanistan better with more complex bases, more mission variety and one-off gimmicks like bosses, and worthwhile side content. Metal Gear games usually have such tightly paced gameplay (regardless of how not tightly paced the cutscenes get), that releasing a game so full of filler is pretty much antithetical to the series. |
| Topic | Are you impressed with Elon Musk and his accomplishments? |
| myusernameislame 05/01/24 11:37:42 PM #10 | In the beginning at least, he did better than most people who had comparable opportunities. The problem is that "people with comparable opportunities" is a laughably small percentage of the total population. But regardless, however smart he was ~10 years ago doesn't make him any less of a shithead today. Being so successful you can surround yourself with an impenetrable wall of yes-men causes actual brain rot. |

| myusernameislame 04/30/24 5:58:09 PM #8 | I don't have any issue with Children of Bodom, but that's a pathetically small amount of money for giving up all the other music in the world. |

If it was just wrong factually, you could maybe make the case for it being an ignorant human, but a lot of it isn't even really coherent. |

| Topic | Do fast food workers deserve to buy a house? |
| myusernameislame 04/29/24 12:07:57 PM #19 | Villain_S_Fiend posted... "Deserve" doesn't even play into it. All people need shelter, and having shelter shouldn't hinge on it being profitable for someone else. I agree that framing these kinds of things in terms of "deserving" is kinda problematic. We shouldn't be trying to judge people, we should be trying to do what's best for everybody overall, and I think you'd get a pretty solid majority of people to generally agree that widespread homelessness is not a good thing. |

| Topic | Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot. She is trying to wreck the GOP. |
| myusernameislame 04/17/24 8:40:59 PM #25 | UnsteadyOwl posted... Her and maga politicians like her are the monster Fox News created. They spent decades lying to get Republicans elected. What they didn't expect was that the people who believe the lies would start running for office and that some of them would win. Absolutely this. They were shortsighted and didn't think about the population they'd have to draw from as the old guard got old and died. |
| Topic | Do you agree with restricting polticial topics to CE strictly? |
| myusernameislame 04/16/24 2:15:09 AM #34 | The problem with banning or even discouraging "political" discussion, is that nowadays one side can just take anything they don't want discussed and make it part of their "politics." Human rights, science, basic decency, etc. are all spun as "political" in certain contexts. |
| Topic | my son told me that Big Rigs is better than Ocarina of Time |
| myusernameislame 04/15/24 12:56:07 PM #6 | Remember when Big Rigs was something special before digital storefronts took off and got flooded with fake game asset flips that are basically the same level of quality? |
| Topic | Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 used to be considered masterpieces. What happened? |
| myusernameislame 04/15/24 12:42:58 PM #64 | My attempt as being unbiased as someone who played them way after the fact is that it's kinda complicated. Like, no they're both way too janky in multiple aspects to hold up today at all, and even at the time those issues would've still been a problem, but there's more to their appeal than just low standards for Sonic games. They were full of sound, ambitious, and ahead-of-their-time ideas that were let down by the execution being so sketchy. Obviously it's natural to compare them to platformers of the time and see how bad they look because of the mechanics, but if you compare them to the more modern AAA story-driven single player action adventure paradigm, they're just like a really, really primitive version of that, and it's sort of impressive considering what they were working with. For '98/'01, I can see how they were impressive to anyone who could overlook how they actually played. |

| Topic | People/communities owning their own servers was the golden age of multiplayer |
| myusernameislame 04/11/24 10:46:23 AM #15 | The problem with matchmaking is that it creates a death spiral if the game isn't popular enough. With a server browser, you can see exactly how many people are playing and what modes/maps they're playing. With matchmaking, you have no idea if *anyone* is playing so if you can't join a game in a reasonable time, you just assume the game is completely dead and never try again. |

Not what I was saying at all Yeah sorry, I was going off of what people were saying about it being a "both sides" movie. If it's trying to convince people to listen to each other in a way I mean that's an admirable goal too, but I don't know how it could pull it off without just being taken as a centrist circle-jerk. |

| myusernameislame 04/09/24 8:27:37 PM #32 | bsp77 posted... Alex Garland is liberal. My guess is that he wants to make a more universal movie and hope someone pays attention vs just preaching to us liberals who already agree. It's fine if he wants to make a movie that's just entertainment, but that quote still deserves pushback because way too many people think like that. |

The people that have made left vs. right into good vs. bad are the people that use "politics" as a shield for truly repugnant views, not the people that noticed and call them out. |

| myusernameislame 04/03/24 6:26:31 PM #14 | GeminiDeus posted... Fuck, reading through the comments, people are pointing out some information that I'd forgotten, in that the police stated that the 15 year old girl was "wearing tactical gear and brandishing a gun". Every time a cop makes a bad split second judgment call, we have to remember that this is what they do when they have time to think. |

| myusernameislame 03/12/24 7:59:53 PM #59 | I believe that one of the biggest factors in making someone end up stupid is being satisfied that they already know everything. Someone like Musk has a loooooooooooooot of internal and external influences that let him think that. |

| myusernameislame 03/01/24 3:24:49 PM #5 | 7th gen Double Agent is interesting, but probably doesn't hold up very well. Conviction is actually alright for what it is, just not good at being Splinter Cell. Blacklist is arguably the 2nd best game after Chaos Theory. |

| myusernameislame 02/18/24 11:08:19 AM #7 | Fluttershy posted... well people may have voted for trump under the same idea, where he wasn't actually a politician, he's a businessman. which is really laughable when you consider that business is very much an exercise in politics of a different form. People have this insane idea that "running the government like a business" is a virtue, even though these same people think the government should be completely starved of funding, which is the exact opposite of what people running a business try to achieve. |

| Topic | "Democrats and Republicans don't care about you!" |
| myusernameislame 02/16/24 3:39:51 PM #20 | People act like they get to just live in a separate reality from politics. That's not how it works, there will always be people in charge doing things and whether directly or indirectly a lot of the things they do will impact you. So yes, instead of whining about motivations or whatever, just vote for the outcomes you want, because "no outcomes" is not a thing. |
