I fucking love Game of Thrones, but it’s also obvious that the show took a noticeable drop in quality. Starting at season 5 and arriving at season 7, it’s astounding the level of complete incompetence from the writers and characters making asinine decisions and nothing makes sense anymore, and Game of Thrones season 8 is a complete train wreck. It’s a shame, because all the way up to there, the first four seasons are absolutely amazing.

I would argue that if you come looking at Game of Thrones for sex and violence, you’re probably not looking at the right show. Lots of talk and intrigue is where the show was at its best.

Damn, for a very brief second upon reading that headline I thought Looking Glass Studios was back from the dead. :c

The fact that they somehow made this about Trump to the point of putting it in their Donald Trump category is… My god, I hate the term Trump Derangement Syndrome, but this is quite close.

The frog is doing its own thing, gotta love it. 🐸

Ever since the Steam Deck has been announced, I keep seeing people saying, oh no no no, don’t buy it, wait for the inevitable Steam Deck 2 as if it was going to come out the next year. And every time I just sigh it and roll my eyes like… do you even know which company you’re dealing with right now?!

I mean everything’s price is out of control. But, other than that, yeah, I’m not surprised. It’s not surprising that massive companies just wouldn’t understand what made the Steam Deck great in the first place.

I still recommend it to most people. I still think it’s the best on the market. Because I still think that the more open nature of the device, its trackpads and that SteamOS are killer features.

The thing is, it’s not ironic at all. This is just “AI” hype! That’s what this article is. It’s “AI” hype written by an “AI.” God, I hate this. Fuck you Gizmodo.

Oh, fuck it’s a woman, I’m sorry, my misandry (/misogyny) got the best of me I guess. Not proud of that. :|

I guess that’s what I get for reacting to the headline without reading the fucking article, don’t I? Trying to be better at that. I just reacted quickly because like, at this point, I’ve read so many of these.

I don’t even know if I can bear to read another one of these people just getting exactly what they voted for and being shocked by it. It’s infuriating when I know that it fucked the lives of so many people who tried to warn them, but they didn’t listen.

Must be difficult for your son to have such a dickhead as a mother. You voted to fuck over immigrants, to fuck over black people, to fuck over trans people, and now, you’re surprised they also want to fuck over the one minority you care about…

I’m sorry, were you too busy being excited hearing about the deportations and the “two gender” bullshit to hear the part that actually affected your own selfish interests? Wanted to fuck over everyone else but those you care about and now you’re big sad and feeling betrayed?

Aww, my poor, poor conservative learning the same god damn lesson every time you get what you think you want but never learning from it, must be hard for you, now you’re gonna have to deal with the misery you wished upon everyone but you…

I hope your son gets the help he is OWED, but you’re the one that treated it as a privilege to take away. He got what you wanted. It wasn’t a fucking asterisk at the end of the contract written in 2pt, it was written in giant fucking neons.

Your son deserves all the help he can get, dignity is owed to everyone. Let’s start with a better mother.

That’s the most United States of America headline I have ever fucking read. Oh my god.

Whereas if we built a giant highway… with like 10 lanes… that’d be perfectly quiet!

My point is that we shouldn’t even entertain the question in the first place. It doesn’t matter if it’s natural or not. If it was unnatural, it wouldn’t make it any less moral or okay.

This guy clearly hasn’t been paying attention to anything that’s happening, did he? The idea that if we paid for the platform, the platform wouldn’t have any incentive to glue us to it and to try and make us addicted to it is ridiculous. Of course they would do it. Because they would want to make sure you get that dopamine hit. To make sure you keep paying.

And it would just be like the streaming services wars. Eventually, the user base will stabilize, and then companies won’t get the growth they look for, so they will start fucking over their users because that’s what always happens. They will introduce tiers, and what used to be just one tiers will become two or three, and one will be ad supported, and basic features will be stripped away from the main tiers… we know how this goes.

And to me the worst part is, social media, whether we want it or not, has become a very important part of our lives. And for all of it’s wrong, it also has some very strong positives, notably helping people find community and express themselves. And you, Andrew, want to paywall all of this, make it accessible by a privileged few… The result would be an internet that’s even more white, even more straight, even more cis…

Fuck that. The solution is to not let these spaces in the hands of corporations. These spaces should be owned by the people who live on it. Not some executives asshole trying to squeeze every penny out of them.

The problem is capitalism. Maybe it’s time we stop putting band-aids fix on every problem it causes. We’ve tried to fix it time and time again. Maybe it’s time to root out the problem.

It’s cute and all but… I really hate that arguement. If it wasn’t natural, it wouldn’t make it any less moral. We don’t need to play by their rhetorical rules. I know that this is just a cute thing, but I see this kind of things all the time and I feel quite strongly about it. So what if I wasn’t born this way? So what if it’s not natural? Does it somehow make things worse? Or is just an excuse to justify hatred of something that just grosses the 'phobes out?.. y’know?

I mean, hey, good for them. That being said, I still think EA is smoking some mad cope if they’re actually expecting one hundred fucking millions players.

Oh no, that actually makes me sad. I love Microsoft Lens. I install it on my device and I just revoke its network access, so that way it can’t connect to the internet. And it just works flawlessly. It’s amazing. God, I hate this. We can’t have anything nice.
