Wait…am I the only one who bought the cheese grater dildo?
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says tech giants can't profit from their astronomical investments unless human labor is replaced 2 weeks ago:
Welcome to my thought process circa 2015.
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says tech giants can't profit from their astronomical investments unless human labor is replaced 2 weeks ago:
They already have. I went to McDonalds 2 years ago. They had a giant kiosk where you ring up your own order. I also saw an automated machine drop fries into the oil. I also saw an automated drink machine that did everything besides put lids on top.
Basically what I remember from the early 2000s as a job at mcdonalds no longer exists. I would be on register, and I had one guy doing nothing but fries, and another guy doing nothing but drinks. With this system, 1 human did all 3 roles. Because the register was eliminated. The fries was just a matter of scooping the already prepared fries into the sleeve, the drinks was just a matter of putting the lid on top. So now 3 empoyees became 1. And I had no idea what was going on in the grill. In my day you had 2 guys on grill and 1 guy doing utility work. Wouldn’t surprise me if 3 became 1 again.

- Comment on Rockstar have been accused of union busting after the firing of more than 30 staff members 2 weeks ago:
Hey Nintendo! You realize I got tons of these ideas, right? I could go all day with this! You could hire me to be an idea man. But first, you have to answer me one question…
WHY THE FUUUUUCK DID YOU NOT BUY RARE IN 2001??? THEY CLEARLY WERE PREFERING YOU TO BUY THEM!!! YOU TRUSTED THEM WITH THE DONKEY KONG IP! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED???
- Comment on Rockstar have been accused of union busting after the firing of more than 30 staff members 2 weeks ago:
Those 30 employees should band together, create “Superstar games”, with their new hit game “Grand Theft Spaceman”. A game about stealing spaceships, and running crime empires in the same type of universe as star trek, or star wars, or the Jetsons.
Just float out in space, press the triangle button, and enter the space ship, and hijack it. I’m sure no one has used that formula before…
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5 1 month ago:
You are not going to believe this! I have a great bridge, sturdy bridge, fantastic bridge actually. The government wants to tear it down because I don’t have the $100 dollars to fix a minor problem. You know how it is. Avacado toast price just keeps going up…
Point is, I could sell you this bridge. It’s in your neighborhood, and it normally has a value of 1 million dollars. I’m just looking to get rid of it. So I’ll sell it to you for $100. This sale isn’t meant to be public, so don’t tell anyone, otherwise they might offer me more money. And this sale is just for you! Because I like you…

The only reason you don’t have trillions of upvotes, is because the fediverse doesn’t have trillions of users.
- Comment on Sony makes the “difficult decision” to raise PlayStation 5 prices in the US 2 months ago:
I’ve been gaming since 1985 whenI was 2 years old.
I cannot for the life of me remember a situation where 5 years after a console releases, they RAISE the price. And its not even like “New PS5 pro edition + knuckles”.
This is just “It’s the PS5. Pay us more money, assholes! Same shit as before. Now with more cost! Kiss the taint, peasants!”
- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 3 months ago:
Old people everywhere:
“Why is there an extra $19.99 in my account every month?”
I’m 100% certain that’s why AOL dialup still “existed”. Just charging old people for a service that doesn’t get used. And now so many people have fallen off over the years that it’s no longer profitable to keep the “service” going.
- Comment on Citing “market conditions,” Nintendo hikes prices of original Switch consoles 3 months ago:
The new one is one of the best selling consoles of all time.
I saw one in the wild before I ever saw any marketing material for it. Unless you count youtube videos, including the direct.

- Comment on How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking 4 months ago:
Everything about Switch 2 has made me hate every choice Nintendo has made.
Guess I’ll sit out this generation, and focus on backlogs. Then in 10 years, I can always just pirate the Switch 2 catalog.

- Comment on Sony Won't Budge on PlayStation Plus Day-One Releases For First-Party Games 4 months ago:
Me: “12 to 18 months? Thats not bad. I can wait”
Then I realize I haven’t had PS+ since PS3 days. And in general don’t buy many games.
So I guess wait isn’t the right term. I guess it’s that I’ll refrain.

- Comment on Hideo Kojima proposes a game where the protagonist forgets abilities if players take too long a break 5 months ago:
Right. I remember playing final fantasy 7 in the 90s. I softlocked myself by being underpowered for a boss, but unable to grind.
Turned it off, and when I turned it back on 5 years later, I was in a different area. No idea when/how J got there, but clearly I went back and did SOMETHING, but now had no idea where to go, or what to do.
I’m not starting over, but also, I’m not going to figure this out.
So now we’re 20 years later, and I have no idea where that memory card even is.
- Comment on Eric Barone, the guy who can't stop updating Stardew Valley, says the words "I might eventually make a Stardew Valley 2" 6 months ago:
Sequal idea: Same map. Same characters. New added characters. Expanded map area.
But here’s the catch. If you want to know where any given character is on a non-event day, just stalk them on that day. If you see a person is at the beach on a Tuesday at 8pm, they will ALWAYS be on the beach at 8pm on non-event Tuesdays.
What if we introduced a needs system? Lets say Marnie needs love. Well she’ll go find the mayor. But maybe she needs to shower more than she needs love. Well, now she’s going home, showering, THEN she’ll go find Lewis.
And each characters needs meters are unique. For example, Pam and Shane could have alcohol needs. But Jazmine might be aged up from age 5 to age 13. She wouldn’t have an alcohol need. But she might have a need to be hugged. In which case, she’d go find Penny.
And maybe we introduce visitors. Create like 4,000 sprite models, and have 20 visitors each day visit the town. That way, it’s not the same people visiting everyday, but there’s always some people visiting.
Maybe make more visitors on Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays, and less visitors Monday and Tuesdays.
And you could tie the games economy to the visitors. The more they spend, the more the local shops can upgrade their shop. But they get incentivized to come spend money based on what quality those shops carry. Which in turn is based on what you sell (or don’t sell) them.
- Comment on SignalGate Is Driving the Most US Downloads of Signal Ever 7 months ago:
Well…I meant more from the angle of “hey, add me on signal”.
“Signal? What’s that?” researches with quick google search
“Oh, he’s a trump guy…” BLOCK
- Comment on SignalGate Is Driving the Most US Downloads of Signal Ever 7 months ago:
God dammit.
I’m JUST starting to talk to a woman online. I was going to tell her she can use Signal usernames if she’s not comfortable with giving phone numbers.
Kik gained a reputation as being a sex app.
Signal now has the reputation of being a trump thing.
CAN’T I JUST HAVE ONE GOD DAMNED APP THAT ALLOWS WOMEN TO EXCHANGE A HANDLE RATHER THAN A PHONE NUMBER SO THEY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE???

- Comment on Nintendo Reveals Switch Vouchers Won't Work On Switch 2 Games, And Their Gold Points Program Is Ending (Again) 8 months ago:
Steamdeck isn’t in competition with Switch 2. Totally different markets.
One is a full on powerful PC shaped like a portable gaming tablet, and specializes in gaming. With a pricepoint to match.
The other is a dedicated gaming machine, using cheaper parts, with every aspect specifically thought out for one, and only one, purpose. With a price far far FAR cheaper. Switch 2 hasn’t been price named yet, but I’d be shocked if it was over $350.
- Comment on Nintendo applying for anti-Palworld patents in the US with a whopping 22 out of 23 rejected, but "they are fighting" 8 months ago:
sigh
If you come into my home, you will see Nintendo memorbilia. Set up as a display of sorts. Theres amiibo, stuffed animals, pez dispensers, coins, ect ect ect.
Clearly I love the games, and the worlds that Nintendo puts out. I’m 41. I’ve loved these things since I was in diapers probably.
That being said…
Fuck you Nintendo! You court trolling, abusive legal bully! You treat the world like everybody owes you everything! We don’t owe you jack shit! You own Nintendo properties. Nothing more, you lawyer infestered shitbags!
