Actually, I suspect I know who it is. Or at least, someone emulating the obsessional behaviour of a real life lunatic. This kind of sociopathy and self humiliation in the hopes of upsetting someone else is very, very real.

Didn’t you see? He’s a Marine. A veteran. You’re supposed to worship him. They’re not just often low intelligence, violent thugs taking money to force America’s horrendous, hypocritical aims upon a world that doesn’t really want it... No, they’re always heroes . How dare you insult our heroes by claiming that we look…

This, unfortunately. Been there, been through that myself.

It’s nothing new; when I worked at EA on Ultima Online, in the sub-studio Broadsword, anything which caused a player reaction was verbotten, but retroactively. You weren’t specifically told to avoid any topic, but if someone complained, then after the fact you’d get a huge bollocking about causing a headache for the…

Elon Musk IS a free speech absolutist. That was his pitch for buying Twitter in fact, that any speech which wasn’t specifically illegal should be allowed. He openly stated he was going to reinstate Donald Trump, a man who encouraged and supported an actual coup attempt against US democracy.

There is no question that Valve is infuriating as a company when it comes to communication. A fan can send in a single email asking a question and find themselves flown out to the studio to have it answered while entire communities can beg for just a snippet of information and go ignored forever. We’ve reached…

While many are sharing a Twitch account connected to the shooter’s known username, the Amazon-owned company has terminated the Twitch channel known as “jimboboiii”.

“This myth of the “Good Guy with a Gun”

It wasn’t really the numbers that made 9/11 so effective; it was the simultaneous puncturing of the idea that America can do what ever it likes to the rest of the world, and the world wasn’t able to punch back. Mixed in with a lot of latent racism because the people who managed to inflict the kind of casualties just a…

“They would just continue to circulate illegally, just like any other popular item that’s banned.”

Mr Gillen has come a long, long way from writing in to Amiga Power, obsessing about the Kinked Eyebrow Girl, and writing reviews of Dungeon Master sequels... it’s impressive and humbling in equal measure, and I wish him well with his latest venture.

Also, think of people who have a “system” for lottery numbers. It doesn’t effect a truly random draw at all, indeed it makes the final reward likely to much lower because any system can be duplicated and others may have the same numbers...

Yup. There’s a generation of socially maladjusted, terminally online people who grew up with 4Chan and online trolling boards who all learned, like the literal thousand monkeys banging on a typewriter, how to be the most obnoxious they can be online... and they never emotionally developed beyond that. They just repeat…

Whilst it’s tempting to imagine that the reward is still effectively zero, you have to remember that the same suckers who are into NFTs are also holding crypto-wallets, so they are buying in to the coins as a bubble too; they are totally addicted to the low work, lucky strike model, and it’s bubbles within bubbles…

But my sympathy immediately runs out when those self same people must, by nature of the MLM and pyramid schemes they got suckered into, scam literally exponentially more people, to dig themselves out of the pit they’ve fallen into. They’re vulnerability vampires, who if ever they had any decent qualities, they’ve long…

And I predicted exactly which cowardly get out you’d use to try and avoid acknowledging actual facts; which is why I specifically said “Oh no, Black people! Chinese!” because the authors of Teletubbies directly stated it was their intention for 2 of them to have defined, non-White ethnicities, even though you can’t…

You can go even older than that; Monty Mole in 1984 was a satire of the UK Miner’s Strike.

Funnily enough, I looked up the actual authorial intent of the Teletubbies, because your argument was so silly, I knew you just had to have missed something obvious even in a childrens show full of gibberish. And surprise! You had. The Teletubbies are in fact an example of deliberate forced ethnic diversity! As per…

I gave you an upvote, but you’re missing one of the drivers of self destruction for those with money; they have been so empty of actual respect and admiration for so long that when they have the chance to buy what passes for admiration, they can’t resist it; They splurge on ridiculous ostentation because that’s what…

Indeed, if it’s a genuine addiction, and near $2m of losses alone indicates that it is, it will tend to inflate as you have to chase larger and larger highs, until it swallows what ever income you actually have...
