  • It is a place to share your shower thoughts. You’d do better, I think, for trying to get a sense of what a community’s vibe is before participating.

    And you’re not being silenced. Myself and plenty of other people refer to AI as devil technology built by demons, vampires, pedophiles, and republicans—but I repeat myself—on the daily. If I can evangelize about how AI is a cancer that needs to be cut out, then you can, too; you can do it in appropriate places.






  • I’m asking you to keep your cock in your pants.

    It is so fucked that in modern life I have to waste my time with conservatives trying to endlessly relitigate exactly what about being a pedophile is bad, and with tech fetishists exactly why being an asshole in public is wrong.

    Spaceballs, if you’re standing somewhere over the grand canyon with your phone out, obviously filming a family of three that does not want to be filmed, what the fuck are you doing? Do you find joy in being an unlikeable loser? Do you often think you just aren’t lonely enough?

    I don’t know what it is you want me to say to you. In my ideal world, Facebook wouldn’t be allowed to make this product in the first place.



  • porn in america is hyper-aggressive and focused on penetration. there’s no eroticism to it. it’s crass and disgusting.

    Truuue.

    what a boneheaded take out of the OP.

    Well, the guy they’re talking to is almost certainly a Sargon of Akkad-lite who is upset that feminism is ruining his disney movies. I would tell him to go watch porn too, but that’s because I like zingers.




  • This happened to me once.

    I was playing some old game on my dad’s ps1 when out of nowhere there was a loud flash of light outside, and then some rubber suit wearing guy on the TV just said “Look what I can do! Put your controller on the floor” and then just made it vibrate a bunch. I was about to pick the controller back up, but then, while I was watching, he made it like vibrate walk out of the room over to my mom’s purse to dig out her credit card information, and then used it to purchase Digimon Rumble Arena off of some website I’ve never seen before. I was so mad because my mom was totally gonna blame me for this.



  • It’s a necessary evil,

    I don’t understand why it is that we all have to pretend that society is supposed to be this anti-social.

    Mate, that bus-stop story some lady has about how proud she is of her son for getting into the college he wanted is a story I want to hear, and you’re making that more difficult for me.






  • Uh, Zelda’s always done the tapestry thing though, haven’t they? 'Cause they like being presented as old myths.

    I do think it’s possible, though. I don’t want what I’m saying to be read as pessimism: Skyward Sword cared about its storyline kind of a lot, and while BotW and TotK don’t put it in your face all the time, I mean, they added voice actors. For the very first time, Zelda has voices.

    And it’s not like OoT isn’t enamored with Hyrule’s dark past. If they’re going to expand on anything, it’ll almost certainly be that.

    It’s worth waiting to see some actual gameplay, I think. I can’t really say what my expectations are because we haven’t even seen anything.


  • Oh, I’m fully aware.

    This right here:

    It’s always been hard to expect Nintendo to actually do anything about any of it because they never ever do,

    is what I mean by “Zelda doesn’t care about it’s plot.” Nintendo has almost always been more interested in gameplay first, and maybe experiential storytelling second. ‘Experiential’ being the kind that you, the player, tell along with Link, in the sense that ‘you’ literally are him.

    Actually, I would relate Zelda’s environmental storytelling to the kind of beach seashell collecting that Miyamoto has always wanted Zelda to feel like, where it’s more about the feeling of discovery than it is the specific implications of it all. Not to say those implications are never taken seriously.

    That said, I am salivating a bit at the thought of what they might be doing for the Forest Temple. That place has so much atmosphere, and atmosphere is something Zelda has always done really, really well.
