Why is someone who has experienced hardship or loss, going to a comedian who is known for mean/dark humor?
You can't make humor that pleases everyone every time. That's unrealistic.
- Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’ 11 months ago:
Goddamn you people cannot be this thick.
I'd say the same thing to you honestly. You seem too stuck up for humor.
- Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’ 11 months ago:
You mean slapstick?
The humor that is funny mainly because you suspend disbelief and watch something else get hurt?
That type of comedy that practically dominated for several decades?
The key to a lot of humor regarding misfortune is that it either isn't regarding you, hits a point that is true but not the core of who you are, or is far away enough that you can suspend disbelief.
In other words, yes, because they're jokes
- Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’ 11 months ago:
That's just a bad analogy. That's more like if a comedian can only copy someone else's jokes, they're not funny. If you wanted a pizza analogy, it'd be more like if you can only make thick crust pizza, but can't make any other types of pizza's, you can't make pizza.
Which is just not true. You just find an audience who enjoys being constantly given thick crust pizza.
Mean/dark humor isn't an incorrect type of humor. It is a different type of humor. If someone is good at it then they just need to stick with that audience. Is it what you'd consider high class or in good taste? Maybe not, but it's still their humor.
- Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’ 11 months ago:
No? You are completely welcome to hate that kind of comedy. In fact that kind of comedy by it's nature will have people who can't handle it. But it's acting like it's some new terrible idea someone thought of recently instead of a long-standing form of comedy that just happened to hit a bad spot for some.
It's basically re-contextualizing it as something that has no basis when it in fact should be a type of comedy that goes without saying at this point....

His reading comprehension is fine, the guy said
If you have to rile the audience to be funny, you’re not funny. <-- A declarative statement with no gray option
Whereas Mr_Blott is saying that sometimes, it is
The guys even right that a lot of this isn't even new ideas. Mean or even dark humor has been around for centuries.
- Comment on [Discussion] Emudeck - Great Emulator on the Steam Deck 11 months ago:
It kindof starts to snag in the GCN/PS2 era. Smash Bros Melee never gets to an adequate point for me, and Soul calibur 2 usually is fuzzy with slowdown on the windmill-esque level.
I don't think I was able to get soul calibur 3 to work too well. The dreamcast version of PSO is much smoother than the GCN version, though GCN version is generally good enough.
Dreamcast/N64/Playstation era I'd say is the sweet spot where games aren't going to have many issues that they wouldn't have elsewhere.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor? 11 months ago:
Technically the mini retroarch is also on linux, but that's not what people think of when they think "I want to run it like I do the steamdeck"
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor? 11 months ago:
Technology isn't there yet.
There's certainly handhelds in the PSP go form factor already, but they use much smaller OSes than the steamdeck uses, and still have to make sacrifices usually.
Like you'd probably just get a quick-boot to a retroarch variant for emulation and thats the entirety of the OS you'd get.
- Comment on Steam Deck OLED now supports HDR Remote Play from PS5, unlike PlayStation Portal 1 year ago:
To be fair that's also the LCD, not the OLED the article is discussing, which is 549 minimum
- Comment on Epic explains why it hasn't sued Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft over 30% fee 1 year ago:
Except even without the fees games generally get released at the same price
You're just licking someone else's boot. Epic is by no means pro-consumer.
- Comment on 4chan prepared me for this debate 😏 1 year ago:
To be fair, it's also just the word for someone you don't have a name for.
Easy name to pick when you can't think of a username after dozens of "name already taken" prompts
- Comment on Whats your favorite Main Menu music? 1 year ago:
Probably the sting in the original Street Fighter II
Though there's a sort-of full version in MvC as Ryu's theme
A lot of games don't even have menu music anymore, or it's ambient and not really noticeable....
- Comment on The Coffin of Andy and Leyley Developer Sells Title 1 year ago:
To be fair, judging by the fact it's either incest or people getting knives/cleavers put up against their throats, i'm going to go on a wild guess and say it doesn't paint it in a positive light. Maybe even suggests there's something wrong with them.
- Comment on Warcraft III: Reforged Patch Notes - Version 1.36.1 1 year ago:
Did they ever fix the desync issues?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
yes,
I do see now you're referring to Famezen which I've reported as well now
I do think it's worth keeping in mind though. I don't personally think the algorithm is a good solution to go to for any little thing on youtube. I've seen it spur people for a variety of reasons.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
So...you're fine with the people who get banned by accident, knowing this guy can just make a new account and has already done so??
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Would you put this on the same importance of "must use algorithim known for false positives" as Climate Change, Covid, or the Holocaust?
Pretty sure they put a vtuber in the covid panels, it was a joke for awhile...if they were in the algorithim you want, they'd of been banned.
- Comment on US kids want games subscriptions and virtual currency more than games this Christmas 1 year ago:
Thats just most games though
How did we think Arcades worked?
- Comment on US kids want games subscriptions and virtual currency more than games this Christmas 1 year ago:
I can understand the sentiments of the thread to offer alternatives
Just remember whats going to happen based on your own christmas as a kid, when you got "The next best thing"
Given there's a lot of good picks, it's still a tale as old as time.
- Comment on [News] EA expanding EA Anti-Cheat - bad news for Steam Deck / Linux 1 year ago:
Actually i've seen a lot of posts (mainly for competitive games) where people just don't want to buy a game without a kernel anti-cheat. Mainly care more about their games being fair than security.
- Comment on [News] Steam Play tool for Native Linux gaming 'Luxtorpeda' v67 out now 1 year ago:
This will be nice, but it's pretty much a "You only need it when you need it" kindof tool, due to being pretty highly specialized.
Plus I know some engine remakes are still not quite there, like the Theme Hospital One (mostly presentation, gameplay mechanics are all there) and the Warcraft 1 and 2 ones (again mainly presentation, especially when it comes to Audio which is just run in soundtrack mode and includes menu music)
I'd imagine they could add ScummVM as well, but it'd take a lot of time to figure out how to get all the files into the right places probably, since I doubt every ScummVM game does it the same.
- Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’ 1 year ago:
Another point is the steamOS is still fairly new and needs to be worked on a lot more, since it isn't even fully utilizing the steamdeck yet, let alone ready for a new one
- Comment on How to use your Steam Deck as a PC controller 1 year ago:
I'd love if there were ways to use the controller and have the steam deck acknowledge this mode. Maybe then allow the monitor on the deck to do other things in the meantime.
- Comment on How to use your Steam Deck as a PC controller 1 year ago:
The controller on the deck is actually different though.
It'd be good if they can eventually make a controller that is actually based on the steamdeck's controller design.
- Comment on Probably the worst Deck 2 design I've seen 1 year ago:
It seems like that design is made with the idea of removing the screen, which isn't bad
But it's genuinely missing hardware. It can't be used.
