Skates,

I’ll just alienate everyone who could ever be on my side

wahhh why is my side not winning? Damn single issue voters

Skates,

International waters music or gtfo

Skates,

“AI”

Skates,

We’re talking about sexual attraction to children that don’t know how to file their taxes

Motherfucker are you in the IRS or why the hell do you think a boner is somehow related to following processes? “Oh god, yeah baby file that W2, I’m so hard right now” gtfo outta here with your weird ass fetish, what a fucking shit show.

Skates,

Ahahahah imagine writing a short story to install a browser

Skates,

Oh, you want only good reviews? It’d be a shame if people reviewed your game like “I apologize, I have nothing to say - I am under contract to say nothing bad about the game, and I have nothing good to say about it either.”

Skates,

It’s worse.

Playtest results inhibit you from disclosing things because they are subject to change. They take gamers’feedback, decide if they want to act on it, and at the end of the day the finished product may look different so it makes no sense for people to loudly state “they have feature X, and they don’t have feature Y” because by release it may be the other way around.

Whereas this type of contract says “idgaf what’s bad about the game, you can only sing its praises online”.

Silence > dishonesty.

Skates,

Sony has been moving exclusives to PC to essentially hook people on franchises to encourage them to buy PlayStation shit

There are ~120 million active Playstation gamers globally. Source: statista.com/…/number-of-registered-accounts-of-p…

“Of that amount, ¥479.3 billion ($3.2 billion) came from game and content sales. Revenue from console sales totaled ¥287.5 billion ($1.9 billion), and revenue from game services was ¥133.9 billion ($887 million).”

Source: hc.games/sony-gaming-division-revenue-6-billion-c…

So - Sony makes most money selling games, not consoles. They made 2 billion from selling consoles, and 4 billion selling games. All this for 120 million players worldwide.

There are about 1.8 billion pc gamers worldwide. Literally 15 times as many as Playstation gamers. Sony is selling games on the PC to reach this market and hopefully turn that 4 billion from game sales to 40 billion from game sales. Hooking people on franchises might be an added bonus, but that’s not why they’re doing it. They’re doing it because if they manage to sell a 5 dollar game to every single pc gamer, that’s more than their entire business is worth today, consoles and franchises and everything.

Skates,

So your point is, we should disregard that elected officials deciding people’s fates are at best gullible/indoctrinated from birth and unable to escape the brainwash, and at worst - literally mentally ill enough to lack the power to distinguish reality from fairy tales? And that we should trust them with defining a set of norms that society abides by, when their set of ethics is founded on the delusional ramblings of people thousands of years ago, ramblings ultimately responsible for genocidal movements like the crusades?

Fuck aliens, my dude. No need to look across the universe for problems. We have enough in our own back yard. You’d disregard them if they believed in Santa or the tooth fairy, why not disregard them when they believe in magic shepherds and eternal suffering for those who disagree with them? At least the fuckers who believe in Santa aren’t arguing for the brutal torture of those who don’t believe in Santa.

Hey you seem pretty knowledgeable so I’m gonna just ask - if these types of events happen regularly in earth’s atmosphere, why build particle colliders at all? Is it just to have control over when they’re triggered and to be able to observe the results? If so, wouldn’t it help to just launch more satellites that can observe when these things happen in the atmosphere? Sorry for the dumb questions, I’m very much a layman.

Skates,

millions of years of evolution wiring our brains to make sex feel good so we don’t accidentally kill off the human race by forgetting to do it

dumbasses want to play badminton or some shit instead

Well ok.

Skates,

They’re talking about a chicken. Source: they wrote the word “chicken”.

Skates,

Wtf? Why not just imprison the pro-genocide fucks? Why limit education instead?

Skates,

I do, but good luck finding it - my body is wired to dodge hammer sensory receptor detectors.

Skates,

This is a very dumb comment.

Proceeds to write a very dumb comment.

Hey, I appreciate the honesty.

Skates,

/c/fuckcars is that way, thanks for stopping by

Cars will never be dethroned. Yes, trains are cool - choo choo motherfucker. Yes, bikes are environmentally friendly. Yes, the car is a truly fucking horible answer to the question “how to get from A to B”.

But that’s because cars are the answer to the question “how to get from A to B comfortably”. I don’t want my baby and my in-law to get on the back of my bike when we’re going camping. I don’t want to take the train and then walk 2 miles from the station every single fucking day with 20kg of tools in my hand, because shit, the train doesn’t stop next to my house, and it doesn’t stop next to my work. I want to be able to have acces to comfortable transportation.

So the answer will still be the car. Even with everyone crying about it. Cause the cat’s out of the bag with cars, we made them efficient and cheap enough to not be considered luxury items anymore. And some countries (see: US) have their entire infrastructure built with cars in mind. You’re never putting the lid back on this, even if it’s a decent idea.

Skates,

I understand you might’ve meant it as a joke, but if the universe allows it and there is a netfuckerpro, I will buy it twenty times before I even read the specs of the crs5b278n492653b

Skates,

Yes. As it should be. I’ll buy the car that chooses to mow down a sidewalk full of pregnant babies instead of mildly inconveniencing myself or my passengers. Why the hell would you even consider any other alternative?

Skates,

They’re not trolls, just Unix-pilled dumbasses who can’t accept their 4% club isn’t the literal holy grail they want it to be.

Linux is great, yeah. You know what else is great? Playing games. Not debugging drivers. Stable configurations. Not sucking Torvalds’ dick. Coming home after my job and just doing whatever the fuck I want on my PC, instead of putting on my “Linux user” overalls and going back to what is basically another job, trying and failing to get the fucking OS to do one teensy little thing that there are 50 half-documented solutions for, 49 of which don’t work.

Question, if the French style of rioting works so much better than voting? Why do they have to keep doing it over the same damn shit far more often than they vote?

So I leave work the other day and it’s pretty dark out and some guy walks up to me and asks me for my wallet. He says he has a knife, but fuck that, right? So we fight and I stab him and run and take the subway home. Question, why is this other dude outside my subway station also asking me for my wallet? Did stabbing the first guy not work? Why do I need to stab multiple thieving motherfuckers per subway ride?

Idk man, I mean we could preemptively stab everyone hanging out near subway stations, just like we could stab anyone running for office. But then we’re “anarchists” and “murderers” and “lack moral fiber” and “what if a really nice guy wants to take the subway and enter politics?”

It would be pretty cool though. Just to watch these thieving cunts get aggroed first, for a change. We’re always just waiting for them to make the first wrong move, would be pretty nice to deny them the chance for once.

Skates,

This is a special kind of stupid.

Yes, I believe it’s called Tumblr

Skates,

Yo I’m on your side with this entire thread, seems like people are just ganging up on you for no reason, you just posted a pic of some food and are sharing quite a lot more info than I’d be comfortable doing because you’re trying to help people and share the knowledge, so props to you.

But having said all that, never lying to law enforcement is crazy. Law enforcement is a tool used by the state to keep citizens under control. At best, if they have too much leeway, they’re a mob that looks out for themselves; at worst they’re enforcers for a mob you can’t even touch. The only reason to never lie to them is if your interests completely align with the state or with them. This should never be the case if you’re working in your own best interest.

Skates,

When you realize that the Mormon church is a business it makes more sense.

Skates,

Gotta suck being a teacher for this class when you just know Jorch is gonna end up framed by Tom Riddle for opening the chamber of secrets.

Skates,

I’m sorry sir, we just call it “the army”
