Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.

- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 2 weeks ago:
I remember Steam Friends existed for a long ass time before TF2, but then they removed the service (like the tab was still there but it no longer connected to anything) for years and then when the orange box dropped, it also came with a massive update to Steam’s social stuff and gave us back Friends but also added Groups.
It always seems like they are working on these massive updates/changes/new things but not even rolling them out until it’s 100% finished instead of just adding things like 1 feature at a time. Which is weird, to me, because one of the defining things about Valve is their level of iteration. You’d think Steam would just constantly be evolving every other week as they try and test things on the general public and yet… They don’t. They’re like the only ones that don’t.

I’ve been playing Minecraft again. I haven’t played since… Fuck I don’t even remember. But long enough that barely anything is familiar to me anymore. It’s like playing for the first time all over again! 😃
- Comment on Are AAA Games too bloated? 1 month ago:
I am of the mind that the most important part of a game, is the game. Having fun playing a game. A good game does not need a story. It doesn’t need to do everything. It doesn’t need to have something new happening or being given to you every 10 seconds.
Look at all the top most played games/games with consistently high player counts. They’re almost all some kind of competitive game that doesn’t change too much no matter how long you play. They don’t have hundreds of hours of content, dialogue, voice acting, etc. They’re just fun.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 1 month ago:
In an actual anarchistic society, we wouldn’t need copyright. But we live in capitalism. Stuff like copyright is needed until property itself no longer needs to exist. I’m all for changing the world toward anarchism, but I am not naive enough to believe for a second you can do it all at once and taking away the few things that at least attempt to make things fair is monumentally stupid.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 1 month ago:
No, I don’t think they would. But I also do think that copyright has been bastardized from its original intent (mostly by Disney). Abolishing it entirely while not moving away from capitalism would be bad. Going back to it only lasting for the lifetime of the creator, and not being able to pass it down would be better.

Pro-AI people want to do away with copyright entirely. Seen a lot of stupid shit recently, but seeing so-called anarchists on db0 claiming that copyright only helps big business takes the cake.

Now, the trailer said they recorded/added new lines specifically in the context of giving different races more unique voices compared to the original; what I want to know is if they redid this dude’s at all simply because the version of him in Starfield went super hammy with it and it was fantastic. Even better than the character in the original Oblivion. It would be dope if they re did it just to give him that same energy he has in Starfield.

Moving Out and Overcooked are my favorite co-op games right now. Both have more than 1 title in the series, and, so far, none of them have been bad.

Perfect. You know how hard it is to find replacements for those? Now I can just have my watch be nuclear powered and not have to worry about that. Only thing I have to worry about is having my arm mutate into getting time control powers.
