LEMMY ALLOWS ME TO HAVE A SCREENNAME THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN 15 YEARS AGO, ON REDDIT. I AM CHILLDUDE69 AND I AM FREAKIN’ HAPPY ABOUT IT!

Yes, I’m screaming all that. Capslock is still cruise control for cool, y’all.

Peace.

to be annoyed by having to sign onto services they otherwise would never use

Once.

You only have to sign in ONE SINGLE TIME, to link that one game to your PSN account.

And then you never, ever, ever, EVER have to do anything with that account again, until the sun burns out.

But people will cry their entitled fucking eyeballs out, regardless. Whatever. Like I said, seethe away. It just makes me erect.

EDIT: Also, what data collection? If you’re fucking stupid enough to give Sony an email address that you actually use, you truly, actually deserve to be tracked. Scientists track dumb animals all the time. Nothing wrong with that.

EDIT: Also, it WOULD be fine for people to “be annoyed.” But that’s not what’s happening, is it? These people are throwing a five-alarm, heart-attack-inducing, cringe-o-riffic, shit-smearing tantrum about it.

ChillDude69,

I read all the way up until “next time.” I read nothing after that. Slippery slope fallacy. Thanks for playing.

ChillDude69, (edited )

This is the world we’re making for ourselves. No middle ground between heroic rebel and evil corporate shill.

Whatever. Keep seething. It just keeps making me more erect.

EDIT: I’m just saying, this is how people get radicalized. But NOT the way you’re thinking. Not in the socially positive way that you’re thinking of.

Be mad all you want. I actually don’t care. I’m seriously warning you about this shit where you’re altering your worldview to see “your side” as the heroic good guys, with no faults, and anyone who even SLIGHTLY disagrees with you as one of the evil, evil bad guys.

It’s not even about the impassioned nature of your views. It’s about ALTERING YOUR PERCEPTION IN A WAY THAT BLINDS YOU FROM REALITY.

Here’s what it is: I actually don’t care about this issue AT ALL. I don’t even fucking play Helldivers 2, yet.

I might, at some point. But I dunno. I’m certainly in the key demographic for it. I even played Helldivers 1, which puts me in VERY rare company, compared to all these bandwagon-jumpers, who are now jumping OFF the bandwagon.

But I digress. The point is, I actually don’t really give a shit about the whole PSN thing. I don’t support it. I’m not mad about it.

Now, you DEFINE ME as being a corporate shill, on that basis. And that would be fine, in an academic sense. It would be fine, as long as you remembered “I’m the one defining that guy’s beliefs for him, because I feel that anyone who isn’t fighting against the corporate bullshit is actually supporting it.”

But that’s not how human minds work, in the information-addicted, hyper-connected, echo-chamber-ified social media age.

That environment is hacking your brain. If you’re not careful, you’re going to wake up one day, having completely forgotten that I’m not really a corporate shill. You’ll forget that you defined those terms, and you’ll TRULY BELIEVE that I am an actual servant of the Sony Illuminati.

I’m just saying. That’s how we’ve gotten these Q motherfuckers, these flat-earth motherfuckers, these people who worship indicted political candidates. All that shit. Disagree with me all you want, insult me and my stupid face all you want. But don’t call me a shill so much that you actually start to believe it.

For your sake, more than mine. But for all our sakes, because we don’t need more brainwashed people out here.

ChillDude69,

Sony has an atrocious record of being hacked as well.

Ohhhh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Unsavory bad-actor types might get access to my THROWAWAY PROTONMAIL ACCOUNT???

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.

Some of the countries the game was sold in don’t allow PSN accounts to be created. So those users can’t play the game on steam.

And I have to use a VPN to watch porn in Texas. Go find a fucking Kleenex for either your tears or my VPN-powered fucking jizz load. Or don’t buy a box of Kleenex this month, and you’ll save enough money to afford a premium VPN subscription.

ChillDude69,

I love this so much. No notes. I have nothing to add. I want this to be a thing.

ChillDude69, (edited )

And how is he going to do more, with the voting blocs in both houses of Congress as they stand right now?

And with the Supreme Court as it stands, right now?

He’s not a king. We don’t WANT him to be a king. But so many of us demand that he just “finds a way,” to do whatever it is that we want as a voter bribe, this week.

PLEASE STOP MAKING PRESIDENTS FIND MORE AND MORE WAYS TO EXPAND THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, THROUGH EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

Every time a Democrat stretches executive powers to forgive student loans or semi-pseudo-almost-legalize pot, it sets more precedent for Presidents to almost be able to legislate by fiat.

We don’t want MAGA Party presidents to have those powers in the future. Why do I have to spell that shit out, to other adults?

EDIT: You know what’s scary? I can’t even remember the list of executive power usages that made me mad about this problem, the last time I thought about it. It’s all been normalized. All I remember is the most recent ones. If you gave me a list of changes in official, binding US policy from the last twelve years, and asked me to correctly label them with “this change resulted from legislation” and “this change resulted from an executive order,” I guarantee I couldn’t do better than a monkey guessing randomly.

That’s how you get a grotesquely inflated set of executive powers. Stop encouraging that shit. If the Democrats don’t win enough seats to enact legislation that you want, BE AN ADULT AND ACCEPT THAT SHIT. Stop throwing tantrums and threatening to vote for them even less, if they refuse to literally hack the system to give you some shit that you want.

We don’t want the system to be hacked. We want democracy.

ChillDude69,

“Gee, where you been, Commander? The entire uridium industry’s gay. Starship design, too. And the interstellar freighters.”

ChillDude69,

I don’t think you understand the degree to which I can hear this in his voice.

ChillDude69,

I heard that in Quark’s voice.

ChillDude69,

“Double strong, double sweet.”

ChillDude69,

Horrorcorchid.

Also, Violet J.

ChillDude69,

In this case, the gold brick might also be filled with latinum.

ChillDude69,

Apart from my telepathically unreadable brain, they’re my best feature.

Hmm. Now that I think about it, the brain parts are also lobes.

ChillDude69,

Agreed. Another great analogy would be that time that Travis Pastrana did the first double backflip on a motorcycle, at the X Games. Everyone knew he might be trying to do it, but they also knew he might literally break his neck and die, in front of thousands and thousands of people, including his mother, Tony Hawk, and Sandra Bullock (yes, she was in attendance, with Jesse James).

Here’s the key point, though: when he succeeded, his homies went ABSOLUTELY BANANAS. In particular, I remember one guy who was wearing an enormous, bright green foam novelty cowboy hat, who went charging up to hug him so fast that the giant green foam hat fell off his head. I’m not sure who he was, but he was so fucking happy that it made the whole thing even cooler.

Now, contrast this with the reactions of Frankenstein’s homies. Igor looked vaguely horrified and basically just cowered away, and the other two characters immediately started trying to calm Frankenstein down. Like, immediately pissing on his parade.

I mean, yeah, he was screaming about how he knows what it’s like to be God…but I think Pastrana’s crew would have let that one slide. They would have been like “FUCK YEAH! You’re better than God! I’ve never seen God do a double fucking backflip on a dirtbike!”

Related topic: when are the rideshare and food delivery app people going to realize they could make a bunch of sex work money, too?

The second they realize how much money that shit would make, they’d lobby congress to legalize prostitution, so fucking fast.

Name ideas include:

bUber

GropeHub

WhoreDash

bUber Black

InstaThot

EDIT: if you want to go to them, rather than them coming to you… AirTnA and Vgno

That last one is a little stretched. Vrbo to Vgno. But I guess a little stretching is appropriate.

EDIT 2: Also, Hooking.com <— Don’t go to that domain. I don’t know what it is.

ChillDude69,

Oh, I’m well aware that this would be like pouring gasoline and AIDS blood on a port-a-potty fire.

But since we’re sliding into a full dystopia anyway, I’m not going to worry if my gallows humor is 100 percent politically correct.

ChillDude69,

No worries.

ChillDude69,

No shit? I guess I came up with that shit independently.

But yeah, I agree. It does seem like something that COULD be clawed back from the clutches of dystopian horror, if it was managed correctly. But that’s sadly unlikely. :(

ChillDude69,

Or Android. But it’s more of a sex robot.

ChillDude69,

It’s the dirty thought that counts.

ChillDude69,

Goddammit, I knew I shouldn’t have looked on eBay, just to see how much that poster is.

I am NOT spending 130 goddamn dollars on that fucking poster.

But I need you all to understand that I desperately WANT to do exactly that.

ChillDude69, (edited )

The size of this image is making it a little weird. This one was clearly designed to be a full-sized poster, and unless you’re viewing the image on a very large display, it kinda pushes the amount of convergence that your eyes have to do into the slightly-too-small range.

That means you’re likely adjusting your eyes to a point that doubles the correct convergence distance, and you’re getting a garbled image.

Even when you do get it to appear correctly, the too-small size will make the illusion of depth somewhat less effective than it would be if you were looking at it, in the intended scale.

EDIT: The source for this knowledge = every book about stereograms that I could ever find. Which was weirdly only a couple that actually discussed how they work, rather than just having a bunch of them printed. But I was legit OBSESSED with stereograms, back in the 90s. I read about them the way a kid who suddenly grows past 6’4" suddenly starts reading about basketball.

ChillDude69,

That’s how I’d want them to dispose of me, if I died in the Star Trek universe. I mean, they already launch some of their dead people into space, in torpedo-casings. Just pack as much gunpowder as you can, around my corpse, and set that shit to detonate.

ChillDude69,

Ohhhhh, okay. I was pretty confused, actually. Sorry.

That’s the problem with being a naturally angry person. When something confuses me, but also could be annoying as fuck, I don’t start with the “maybe this is a mistake” option.

I really should start doing that, more often.
