Ugh, why aren't you depressed? Hey God? Will you give 474D Yurgenst's depression? He needs to learn empathy or when to be silent. please n thanks

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

If you have depression then i am ashamed that you don't have the common sense and empathy for someone else who is struggling with it. Now please do yourself a favor and fix that lil problem. Here's a hint: You fix it by going away. This easy to follow instruction will improve both our lives. Try it now!

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Hmm. I read your thing, but I'm not sure how to respond. On one hand, you make a good point. On the other hand, you seem like youre looking for a fight. Why? Why defend someone who, if they had spoken half as eloquently as you, would not have to have their comment moderated? I just don't get the whole point of your comment, no offense, and certainly not your anger. Who/what is it you are actually mad at here?

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising ( www.techradar.com )

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

Imma make the jump once they force me to 11. I've been saying this for years but they finally got something cooking i truly can't abide. That screenshot of what you're up to every ten seconds is fucking terrifying to me and that's not even considering govt snooping. I ain't about to leave a record of my porn consumption for my wife to see lol! Linux is finally juuuust about idiot proof and game friendly enough for me. Can't wait to be one of those smug guys that says 'just use linux lol'

I didn't know laser was an acronym! Cool!

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I tried quest 64 and booooy did i hate it. It needed to come up with a far better story of it wanted me to figure out it's (at least for me at the time) punishing grindy game mechanics.

Yes i did return it to toys r us, that same day. I'm still mad about it apparently since i wrote all this

Quick! Name a cheap import!

Got a source that isn't some mongrel barking the words of the Israel State which is currently engaged in genocide? Cuz i have lots of sources calling this a genocide, and just you saying "naw actually hamas stuck a stick in their own bike wheel."

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Sounds like a business model to me. if i didn't pirate everything i'd sign up anyway

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

This is definitely more plausible than their improving build quality

1998 Hell in a cell reference, yeah? That's the only thing that coherents up this comment

"They're not sending their best"

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

They blamed us when news for shitty too."this is what you want". No. Its gaslighting and also fuck you. If you did what i wanted you'd all be long dead so shut the fuck up and get back in your volcano line

Lol i was gonna be disappointed if i didn't see this, nice. I'm also hoping for some "arrested development" jokes from people more clever than i

This is real? Not the onion fo real?

Edit: It's real

Unless you're self-reflecting with my pals ben and jerry

I actually disagree with the anger one I've seen women get angry. Anger is a gift for everyone

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Homie you have the same cake day as me. I know we are both redditfugees. Don't act like you're better than anybody else, right? If you want to shed your reddit brain, first thing is drop edgy bullshit like this comment. Plus this dude is at least posting content. Have you?

No but for real tho.

The Long, Tortured Road to Biden’s Clash With Netanyahu Over Gaza War ( www.nytimes.com )

President Biden laid it out for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel long before letting the public know. In a conversation bristling with tension on Feb. 11, the president warned the prime minister against a major assault on the Gaza city of Rafah — and suggested that continued U.S. support would depend on how Israel...

-aboutism

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I hold him personally responsible for sending weapons to Israel, even to the point of doing a run-around Congress, to supply them with the means to commit genocide. In addition i hold him, a self-described zionist, personally responsible for deliberately tying recent college protests of that genocide to antisemitism, saying:

“This ancient hatred of Jews didn’t begin with the Holocaust,” he said. “It didn’t end with the Holocaust, either.”

Yes, it's 100% bidens choice to continue sending weapons to commit genocide. And to allow dissent of his, of our, part in it, to be crushed.

What did you write? I only see ******

in the internet since 1994…

Lawnmower Man?

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Just in case someone else didn't explain (or i'm the one that missed something) this meme is actually referencing the recent internet hubbub of: women were asked if they were hiking alone, would they rather run into a strange man or a bear, and many women picked the bear.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Right? Because there is very power, the UN exists. But, because of veto power the UN is useless

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

When statements don't make sense, i find it helpful to cut out any part that offends logic and see if it becomes clearer. In this case i apply it like this:

“[T]he United States has made clear that it will block Palestinian membership and statehood.

There! The other parts were extraenous fluff to soften their perceived position.

(I know you already grok their position, I'm just sayin its a hack i like.)

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Ah thank you for clarifying this

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Turns out those rich fuckers currently being scraped off the sides of their cryochambers had the right exit strategy all along.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I actually would buy halo remastered if it were a non-insane price. I would buy a copy for me and the friend i logged countless of hours of co-op with... but they won't sell it to us w/o making us buy a package with a ton of the other halo games wwe don't care about.

So i guess i don't buy halo anymore either.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

No way dude. it revitalized the fps genre which was circling the drain at the time, and some ideas Halo had are still felt in fps games today.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

40$ for one game tho (80$ for two copies) is less reasonable tho innit mate? And i'd need two since couch co-op is disabled in the new version.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Oh now i didn't know that bit of tid. If i can get two copies for 20 bux me n M$ might have ourselves a transaction

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Oh? Maybe a bit hyperbolic perhaps. How bout this instead? Halo created a new renaissance for a genre that before Halo was niche, and afterwards became a powerhouse genre that drives the industry.

the_post_of_tom_joad , (edited )

Well im 45, so there's that. Feel free to disagree, but i look at widespread casual usage of fps as a genre for everyoneas a measure of "driving a market", not esports which are cool, but niche (especially then). esports, CS, UT, and the like were PC only, and PC gaming itself was at the time smaller.

While those games existed and indeed so did esports, that and what i am saying (widespread, universal appeal for as you call them "casuals") are two very different things. Two disparate things.

So finally im sensing from you that you're not the kind of person in interested in talking to. Its a feeling i get that you just want to put others down. I might be wrong. Prove me wrong. Do you feel like walking that comment where you call my opinion wrong because of ignorance back, and maybe we can talk like peers? Perhaps we could talk about the impacts halo did have, or the impacts other games you mentioned has that were greater than halos. Maybe that would be information and fun for the both of us.

Or, do you want to keep waving your opinion in front of me and being dismissive? One of those choices continues this conversation. I am at this point ambivalent.

Balls in your court.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

How about not trying to do everything all at once, but one thing at a time and enjoying it?

"Excuse me, i have a suggestion you might not have considered. Have you tried...not being depressed?"

😜

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Me neither friend, my emotion indicator is a spoonful of sugar.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I'm actually heartened to see an American rep say this. I'm not hopeful, but i am heartened.

Now my cynical side heard me feeling ok about something and he is telling me to look for her career to be over now. He says he'll betcha anything she gets primaried out of her spot by the DNC next election at the latest.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I suspect i know the answer to this, but where in the hell did they get this internationally illegal substance to use?

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Man, everyone is getting mad and they keep telling me I'm wrong... But i am me, and i am right. So what the hell is their problem?

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I see. Thank you, that makes sense

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I didn't see a "scoop" here. White Horse declined to comment, Israel doesn't know, then the article lists a series of unrelated incidents which could accidentally cause a reader to mistake correlation with causation.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Bolexforpoop back wih pigshit again. The reason i don't block you is your neverending entertainment value. Keep posting king.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

I can't get the captchas with the motorcycles, ever. I thought i was human but captcha dont lie

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

It's not a protest if it doesn't inconvenience who you're protesting. All real protesters are arrested, because they inconvenience power (who have but the way made all inconvenient protests illegal).

I'm proud of these guys for standing up for what they believe in. Solidarity.

the_post_of_tom_joad ,

Oh hooray! I had wondered if I'd hear from you again! What did you think? I would love to hear it
