  • I would rather keep up on the news that I think matters to me than the news in general. People seem to just love reporting the exact same things. I used to have frequented r/news to note this.

    Lots of news about dead people, dead children .etc that sparks a lot of age-old debates.

    Occasionally some celebrity dies, some small, some big.

    Political follow-ups that ultimately just lead to arguments.

    I tend to also like getting news a little after the fact. It helps the digesting and processing in a sense.





  • Getting dogpiled by assholes from the Steam Community because I made a post suggesting we get rid of the Jester award. I suggested it because the Jester award has been used as nothing but a badge from trolls who think honest reviews of games are a joke. I’ve had nearly 150+ of my reviews just bombarded with marks of ‘X people found this review funny’ and half of them were slapped with that stupid Jester badge.

    Furthermore, I was gaslighted and antagonized both through DMs and openly on the forums to the point where I am now permanently banned from the Steam Forums in the general Steam community. I have no faith in Valve’s sluggish ways that they’ll deal with the sheer toxicity of their own community anytime soon.

    And I was openly doxxed on a gossip site when that same someone openly threatened to cost me my IRL job.

    I’ve been online for 29 years now and by this point, I’ve dealt with so much shit from shitty people to the point where I almost see reality as purgatory. I cannot wait until I enter my self-imposed retirement when I reach 30 years because I’ve watched the internet drown in shit with bots, AI, corporate enshittification and more.









  • I’m over the politics of game launchers. Like, a free game is a free game, some devs/publishers probably get paid to get their game released for free. I’ve taken advantage of them, I wish I hadn’t deleted one of my Epic games accounts before where I nearly had gotten every game that I actually had wanted that was given away for free. But I was naive because I got caught up in the stupid pissing contest between Steam fanboys and Epic fanboys.

    Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. Free is free. I would rather a free whole game, than a freemium game, which is all that Steam mostly offers.
