    Do you mind when your favorite content creators sell you "scams"?

    I like ACG because he's strongly against "sponsored bullcrap" but he's quite open about how badly the algorithm and Youtube's demonetization is hitting his channel. I contribute to his patreon (and a number of others), and I feel that that's a much better way to spend my money than on some...

    Super Smash Bros. Next DLC character is!

    I get that Smash is a celebration of video games... But what, *really* does a *Minecraft* character bring to a fighting game?

    Black Seventh Grader has Police Called for playing with his Zombie *Toy* Gun in His Own Home During Virtual Learning

    They need to teach him that he needs to play Call of Duty until he's old enough to join his parents marching and openly carrying assault rifles while shouting hate at any of a number of marginalized groups, as is the duty of all good citizens.

    PS5 is rumored to only be backwards compatible with PS4

    I never expected it to work with PS1-PS3 games, but it would have been nice. Even if it was just PS3/PSN versions of PS1 and PS2 games and not the disks.

    I’m [blank] years old and still can’t [blank]

    I'm in my late 30s and I still don't know how to answer all the weird (and frequently illegal, since they love to "casually" bring up things like age, religion, and marital status) questions that they ask me in interviews. It's like an entirely different language compared to real life, filled...

    Are You Related To Anyone Famous? And Do You Care?

    I'm somewhat distantly related to Eric the Red, though that's far enough back that it doesn't really matter.

    Silent Hill Games after the third game, any of them hold up?

    It was originally a Wii game, so it's not exactly a portable-first game, even if it did eventually come to the PSP. I never played it on the PSP, but the graphics and framerate were significantly cut down on the PS2 version. Though I *was* able to play the PS2 version without having to...

    How Have You Changed With Age?

    These days, I'm freaking tired, all the time, with headaches and fatigue that knock me flat for full days at a time. Back when I was younger, I was freaking tired, all the time, with headaches and fatigue that knock me flat for full days at a time, and I got sick a lot. So I guess I get sick...

    RIP the Segway

    The only time I ever saw them was at the airport, where they kinda make since, since the workers have to regularly and quickly travel long distances, and the segway is a good alternative to doing it on foot. But if the airports have what they need, orders from them have probably dried up.

    Cool things happening to you

    I may have had to sell my house, but it appreciated enough for me to get back more than I paid towards the mortgage, effectively making the last 5 years be rent-free (aside from utilities/maintenance... which were pretty expensive, all things considered) //Now can we please have real estate...

    How has your quarantine/lockdown been going?

    I worked for a software company that leveraged the pandemic to sell products to help monitor the pandemic and its various effects. Things were going better than ever for them. ...So of course they had a big round of layoffs and cut 10% of their workforce, myself included. I'm selling my house...

    Should Epic Games Store Exclusives Be Boycotted?

    What about Tencent, game censorship, and the way Devotion got buried by the Chinese government? I know that Tencent didn't publish Devotion, but it is a prominent force in the publishing space, owns a large share of Epic, and is under Chinese control.

    Bang for your buck

    I judge things on how much I get out of a game *per hour* Because I basically have to spend 8 hours in the office per every one hour I have to game.

    Plans for the Covid 19 Lockdown

    Lots of applying for jobs, since I was *preemptively* laid-off, along with a significant portion of their other workers, despite doing work that could easily be done remotely, and before the company had experienced any particular hardship. Upside: Due to the nature of my work, I can work at...

    Banned Escapists To Be Granted Amnesty On New Forums.

    Ah. Yeah. Warnings. I just checked my profile, and I still have one from three years ago, which somehow never expired, and for a reason that I utterly disagree with (but is technically in the rules, at least now, so I probably should have known better), but this is hardly the place to go into...
