Needless, stupid, and cruel

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

New video from me! youtu.be/4FQRLVYW34k?...

Okay, so MAYBE Xbox hardware isn’t selling too great. And MAYBE Microsoft isn’t putting out many must-play games either. And MAYBE all of the gaming IPs they own have fallen out of relevance. And MAYBE people are migrating from Windows to Linux for PC gaming because of Valve’s Proton stuff. And MAYB

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

You want me to buy a new pc because you want to save money on not supporting my intel chip set? My pc works fine. Your Windows does not (anymore). #win11 #windows #linux #ubuntu

When did corporate bio pics become so omnipresent? I can’t remember any when I was growing up, but now it seems like every month a new movie is released about the tough start of a billion dollar company. A bit scary actually

I got death threats for months just for accurately pointing out that a popular game developer had said sexist things on social media. I empathize, I do! It's fucking terrible and scary! but y'all are running a country here and you can either commit to that, or step down and let someone handle it.

From my point of view (and I was not 19) these two are both wrong. Trump was recognized as a fascist threat. You may remember a lot of leftists were arrested the day of his inauguration, and no one batted an eye- because we'd been saying it for so long. At the same time, we noted he wasn't 1/

I had some friends over for a retro gaming day and had a whale of a time. One of them brought along his Neo Geo with 8 games! So happy to finally experience this super rare console. We hardly ever see them in Europe. We also checked put mother 3 and put the Sega mini to the test. Great day ☺️

This is why I prefer to buy my games physically. I was able to play anything I wanted

Dutch ruling: guys set up "non-profit" during covid claiming to get facemasks for govt faster than its own agencies, but actually took €20m profit for themselves. They have to pay it back to the non-profit, which a court assigned to new directors who will donate to long-covid patients etc. 1/2

I don’t think they’re that stupid. They’re smearing and lying to obfuscate the truth

Yes. You want to support musicians? BUY their work. Buy their merchandise. They need money to live! Streaming gives them almost no money! Musicians make more awesome music for you when they aren't literally starving!
