  • I've always felt like I can't talk about the subject, because either you say " I agree men are trash but at some points I do feel targeted by resentment." and they say "Well if you feel offended by this you're the problem." or you pretend like you're not part of the problem and don't get offended at all and sit on the sidelines when someone else says something stupid like "Men are Trash is sexist, imagine if we went around saying "Women are trash?" as if that's not the entire point of their argument is to flip it onto men. I've always been against the patriarchy, and there are so many things that women have to deal with, and I think it's unfortunate and heartbreaking what women have to go through to get to the point where they unironically resort to "Kill All Men." as their everything, politically.

    It's a culture war, and I hope they win, but I can't imagine what it actually accomplishes other than securing safe spaces for women hurt by men. (Which is good) but also, it's not going to force men as a whole to reconsider their life choices and the shitty stuff that they regularly engage in. (I don't know how you would best do that, which is why i'm not one to criticize)







  • I own 3.7 shares of GME right now. I bought at $120 ish. I hate having to follow the discussion on the stock subreddits but unfortunately if that's what it takes for me to get thousands of dollars from billionaires i'll take it.

    I'm glad you guys are sane enough to be able to ignore them.


  • "For now, if I made any comrades with good intentions feel shitty or unwelcome, I’m sorry. Hostile atmospheres suck, and I don’t want to contribute to them." That's good enough for me. If there was anyone to apologize to its the people who were (imo) wasting their time trying to argue with you and convince you of something that you were perpetuating. But that said, I'm not the victim here. I just felt the other message you made talking in this post about how you weren't informed about religions enough came off as the beginning of an apology but stopped at "I acknowledge that you feel that way" with no feelings that anything has changed. So this helps. Now go take a break for a bit. Have a good one.



  • Ok, I've now read the comments he posted.

    I do believe he was uninformed on the issue and preferred being argumentative and taking a stand when he should've taken the L and thought for a bit, but I can't equate his arguing with actually having or harboring anti-islamic views. He just wasn't being very smart. Now, yes I do think he should be removed as a mod, because someone who has that much time to argue on such baseless stuff for so long after multiple (and I mean like 10+ times) seperate people tried to convince him why they thought his take was wrong, he refused to concede even a small bit, and he took it to extremes such as equating a drawing to wearing the color red. That's just being insensitive and I don't believe it's a good reason for him to keep his mod powers. It doesn't need a ban, and I hope he can continue to interact in a positive manner on the site. If that doesn't happen, certainly make another post.

    It just comes down to don't be an asshole, its not an issue that actually affects anybody unless he chooses to actually make that stand. And the possibility of that happening while being a mod is a decent chance and likely wouldn't end well, so I support the decision. Thanks for making this post!







  • There are few games I notice any substantial difference with HDR on vs off.

    I will say however, check out Ori and the Blind Forest: Will of the Wisp with HDR on. God damn is that not the most beautiful damn colorful HDR experience I have ever seen. Absolutely worth it just for that. Besides, its a new standard, no one should go out and buy a new tv just for HDR. Buy it because it can provide a better experience, sure, in whatever fashion you'd like it to do that. Just don't waste money thinking its some selling point apart from a couple of games and the possibility of new amazing experiences.


  • What's up, my name is Chrome, I live in an animal crossing island currently inhabited by a monkey, a family of racoons and a weird dodo. My goal in life is to obtain small hole-punched leaves for a living. Wish me luck.
