  • I can tell from your diminished reasoning abilities that you’re probably an Asmongold fan. There’s not much I can type here to help you, but I’ll try to keep it short and use simple words and bullet points:

    • I have heard him talk
    • by hearing him talk, I have become informed about him
    • using this information, I have made the informed decision to not listen to him further

    I can try simplifying it further if you still don’t get it.

    He’s huge on all the streaming platforms, so you can’t really ignore him. Clueless people will have his content force fed to them by the algorithm, and some will end up becoming fans.

    Pre-empting that by pointing out how much of a disgusting pathetic loser and worthless piece of shit he is might help someone make an informed choice before watching his content.







  • xbox one x was the last good console xbox made

    Was it good? The Xbox 360 outsold it (by a lot), but even that was mostly luck because Sony notoriously fucked up the PS3 launch (and in the end, PS3 sold more anyways lmao). It also had the red ring of death issue.

    The Xbox One was when they started the hardcore ramp up of enshittification which never ended even after continually losing in every way to the competition.

    The OG Xbox worked well, and at least managed to outsell the GameCube (though not by a lot).





  • Please explain yourself. I’m not going to judge you, I’m genuinely curious where you got this perception of Phil Spencer from?

    From my perspective, he was in charge during the fall of Xbox. There may have been a few good decisions he made, like backwards compat or whatever, but on the whole he destroyed Xbox. I don’t understand how some people can simultaneously be pissed at all the terrible decisions that company has been making for over a decade while also glazing the guy in charge of making those decisions.

    If Xbox wasn’t part of the monopolist that is Microsoft, they would’ve gone out of business after the Xbox One. Instead, as is usually the case for orgs/people like this, they’ve been able to fail upwards all while dragging the entire gaming industry through the dirt (eg the horrible Activision acquisition, among many others). It’s actually incredible how, despite not even needing to worry about competitive pressures, Xbox still failed so badly.

    So again, what circumstances have lead you to see Phil Spencer as anything other than an incompetent moron?


  • I agree with you, but I get where the rabid fanboyism is coming from. The lack of competition in tech due to a variety of bullshit reasons (mostly corruption, look what Biden’s FTC was trying to do compared to Trump 2’s mask-off approach) have people pissed off and angry at the monopolists. Valve just so happens to be the least-bad monopolist in tech, so people like them.

    People need to get competition-pilled, so they realize that Valve isn’t our savior, and are in fact part of the problem too. They might be considered “good” today, but that’s because our standards have never been so low.

    Things can be, and should be better.


  • I disagree. Secretly recording someone with a phone is much easier than doing it with one of these. It’s the same issue people had with Google Glass back in the day.

    I think the reason it feels creepier is because, if you’re talking with someone that’s wearing them, it feels like they’re sticking a camera in your face.

    But like I could turn on my phone camera, leave it sticking out of my pocket, and record everyone taking a piss in a public restroom with nobody noticing. If I tried to do that with glasses, I’d have to turn my head towards everyone’s cock, one at a time. The neck pain alone makes it not worth the effort.

    But to be clear, fuck Meta. These glasses should be banned for many other reasons.




  • Yeah it’s weird, I was just being lazy with wording, but now I want to defend BMI a little since it’s not that stupid. (I meant to say he didn’t look like the stereotypical image of a morbidly obese person, which in hindsight isn’t very productive)

    It’s true that BMI is only useful for “normal” people, which excludes pro-athletes/body builders with a lot more muscle than the average person, and people with conditions that affect their weight. For the vast majority of people, it’s a useful metric for overall health. Anyone who cares about longevity and quality of life shouldn’t ignore it just because it’s uncomfortable to think about or “seems wrong” based on some self assessments. Obviously, there’s a lot of stigma around being labelled as obese, but people are judgy assholes about everything. What’s basically guaranteed, though, is that if you do lose weight to reach a “healthy” BMI, you will feel a lot better physically (and probably also mentally). Pains you didn’t even realize you had will go away, you’ll have more energy, etc.

    I’m not saying you should lose weight, idgaf. Your life isn’t mine, and I’m not here to give unsolicited advice. I just feel compelled to add some extra context so people don’t draw hasty conclusions.
