- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 5 weeks ago:
I’m that person. I get into fights on there a lot and call people troglodytes all the time. One time though some rednecks came into my work and told me they had seen all my comments, they said they thought they were funny but in a vague manor that left it 50/50 on if they really thought they were funny or if they were giving me a veiled threat not to leave more. I never did learn my lesson about engaging with cretins, most of which are probably bots these days, but I have reduced my Facebook usage to essentially nothing more than sharing articles I find important.

Wut?
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, there’s a lot of revisionist history ITT, if I had to guess, it’s because people don’t want to admit/accept that it was already an extremist site by the time they were frequenting it.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 5 weeks ago:
Sounds revisionist to make moot worse than he really is. He was a kid. Most of what you know about 4chan has nothing to do with the founder (see: not owner for some time now), so your hate is misdirected.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 5 weeks ago:
When I first used 4chan, more specifically /b/ in like 2009 and it was wild. There were definitely a lot of horrible people, but it was far from the majority of the posts there; there was actual interesting content and interesting discussions at times.
Every time I’ve been to /b/ over the last 5-10 years has been nothing short of horrific.
The content of /b/ over the last however long would variably look like this:
Extremely racist thread
Thread of actual gore showing severally mutilated human beings or less frequently animals
Trans hate thread
Intimate pictures of people you know viewed as porn thread Another racist thread Another trans hate thread 4 more similar pornographic threads Another gore thread
Rinse & RepeatFuck 4chan and virtually everyone who’s been active on /b/.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 1 month ago:
Actually fully agreed. IP, trademarks, copyright, all that shit just serves to make the rich richer and stifle innovation.

- Comment on Six-armed octopuses and other abyssal horrors from Ark: Survival Evolved's new AI slop trailer 2 months ago:
The article confused me because the author says that they are excited about a moment in the video… But if it’s all AI generated than none of its going to be in the game, right?
- Comment on uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store 2 months ago:
I have 3 monitors, I also watch WAY too much YouTube. This has been one of my favorite things as well, it’s so useful for me.
- Comment on uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store 2 months ago:
The only thing that’s surprising is that it was there to begin with.

They keep telling me that China isn’t controlling Reddit, yet I keep seeing nonstop evidence they are. 😶

Cry about it? 🤷
- Comment on Half-Life 3 is just the hot exclusive Valve needs to propel SteamOS past Windows 2 months ago:
Half Life 3 has been out for years and I’m absolutely sick of this mental retardation. It’s called Alyx and you don’t play as Gordon, get the fuck over it already, it’s been years.
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 2 months ago:
LMFAO, I love when someone says they tried everything when it’s so blatantly obvious they didn’t really try anything.
Both Epic and Amazon seemed to believe that if you gave out enough free games then Steam would just… Disappear? Really really dumb.
Neither company has invested any time into making their launcher any good. They haven’t invested any time into making their ecosystem feature rich like Steam. They have just given away a bunch of games and had sales and hoped that magic would take care of the rest.
Valve doesn’t even have to try to beat the competition when the competition doesn’t put any effort in.
GoG Galaxy is the only decent alternative launcher I’ve used and it’s being maintained (seemingly) by one guy who only works one day a year. It’s not as good as Steam by a long shot, but far far better than any of the launchers that come from companies WAY WAY bigger and wealthier. Even the itch.io launcher is better!!!
Blizzard, Amazon, Epic, EA, Ubisoft, and Rockstar (and more) all have their own launchers and not a single one is decent or necessary. Why make such an inferior product when Steam already exists?
- Comment on Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching 3 months ago:
Yaaaawn. I’ve used every Windows version well past it’s EoL. The CONSTANT articles on this being shared to Lemmy just feel like pathetically trying to convert people to Linux. I couldn’t be less worried about it.

I’m legitimately saddened by the fact this even needs to happen because of this moronic cretin.

The irony being that TikTok is specifically designed to dumb down Americans. 🤣

Good. Why the fuck are you all so addicted to Chinese brain rot?

Everyone’s hating on this but I can’t wait to get one used in 5-10 years. Looks pretty cool to me personally.
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Dev Apologizes for Mistakenly Banning Steam Deck/Mac players, will unban accounts 4 months ago:
Thank you for opening my eyes to what I have done. I can’t believe I have installed Disney trash to my PC without even thinking about it (haven’t actually played it yet). Time to uninstall.

- Comment on If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe 9 months ago:
There seem to be some instances that DON’T give the automatic +1 I’ve noticed.
- Comment on If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe 9 months ago:
There’s actually nothing wrong with no longer supporting a game you developed. The problem is these scummy bastards make sure no one can support the game or run it privately after they abandon it.
- Comment on US man used AI to generate 13,000 child sexual abuse pictures, FBI alleges 1 year ago:
Just to be clear, you guys think that any company that produces anything that ends up used in a crime should have criminal charges for making the product? Yeah, makes about as much sense as anything these days.
