I’m not sure why you feel the need to make such a statement and try to be rude to me when I have meticulously explained, to anybody who with an intelligent mind, specifically why I don’t want to talk about this but you need to push

So how about this, I’ll save the bother and just block you :)

You are literally the type of person that I want to avoid in these kind of conversations, that’s why I go at it things the way I do, but you’re too emotionally confused to get it

Look in the mirror, and realize you haven’t added a single thing here

But the crux of the issue, is that I don’t give a fuck what you think and you CAN’T understand that. IT’S TOO HARD FOR YOU TO ACCEPT THAT I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK

Bye-bye blocked

Bro that’s just one incident in three decades of madness

I’m not lying when I tell you I was at the top top bro

I changed the world with my technology

And when you know what’s what, you are sick to your stomach

That’s why I refuse to buy anything, I pick things out of dumpsters, I’m friends with homeless people, I go at 3:00 a.m. and bring them soup, I connect to my community, I volunteer, I serve, I fix electronics, I do what I want every day that makes me happy, I don’t need any illusion anymore

But I would be absolutely thrilled to shatter the bubble of anybody that wants to talk about what they think they know about games

I choose my words very deliberately here and I am intentionally portraying hostility so that anybody with two clues to rub together can see where it’s going to go if they start. I want people to know that you’re dealing with a dragon … if you want to know - I’ll tell you.

I’m a nice dragon but I’ve had it with people who want to talk to me about what they think they know about this realm

I have done anyone reading these comments the courtesy of knowing that it’s not going to go the way they think if they whisper word one to me about games okay, that’s a kindness I’m doing you all in advance lol

And in a way I’m saying don’t fucking ask me, I’ve been dealing with these dumb conversations for 30 years on the internet, if you think you have a single thing to say to me in opposition to what has been said here so far, don’t message me, in fact block me right now on Lemmy

Anybody want to take a shot? Let me begin the conversation so you get a flavor: every single gamer is a gullible magical-thinking rube, an infant in their emotional core. These individuals will spend countless hours performing micro tasks which are puzzle-based in nature, but accomplish nothing, simply to satisfy some primitive emotional logic. These people are the equivalent of children that think magic is real, then they want the magician to explain the trick, then they get upset when they learn that it’s a trick and they want to tell the magician no, magic’s actually real. If you like gaming, I hate you. Because I am a gamer but I know what games are and you don’t.

Truthfully, no. I was a really top level fucker in the industry and let me tell you man… It’s a vicious game, and even thinking about things that happened 30 years ago are causing my hairs to stand on end right now even though I’m sitting with a nice warm espresso in a sunbeam smoking a joint.

I’m going to copy and paste from a previous answer. Please do me the courtesy of not asking any questions about my history in the game industry, because I will go off like a f’king neutron bomb. It will be real but it will be ugly. I mean ask if you want, but you’ll get the fuck beaten out of you and you won’t like it and it’ll disabuse you of, in a most vicious way, your incorrect thoughts, perspective, and fee fees RE anything to do with games. If you want to look behind the curtain man we’re going to look but you won’t like what you see, I can absolutely promise you that, and I will not protect feelings. So before you do, think about it for a little bit, then don’t please.

“They were contracted to design the (edit: low-level coin op hardware, etc) API for our new Internet-enabled touchscreen gaming network kiosks (world first at the time) and they were fucking useless. And then had the gall to present the piece of shit at the CGDG 1997, as a half-finished completely non-functional, but presented it like it was their own product and not a massive NDA violation. Presented like their own product which could be generically extended to other platforms. Fuck you Matt. Fuck you Monolith you fucking cunts.”

I will always appear to tell Monolith to go fuck themselves, and dance on their graves.

Fuck you Matt, fuck you Monolith. You fucked our company over, stole our technology, presented it at the game developer conference like it was yours - dealing with you Matt was the worst 2 fucking years of my life you big fat bloated sack of highly-incompetant, completely sleazy and unethical, lazy lying shit.

The first time they did the feels like scale… My father’s colleagues were involved. They took a sample of people and put them in wind tunnels and sprayed them with water and said hey how’s it going over there.

I wish more than anything I was joking right now.

Explaining to people learning to cook that oil is liquid pan that carries heat is just too mind blowing. The simple shit is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy beyond the average smartwatch wearing doof

We live in a world where people demanded (and succeeded) in having the Meteorological Service of Canada to report windchill as “feels like C” instead of, ya know, a measure of actual heat loss in Watts / M^2 / s

I sure as fuck am. I have no problem letting you, the poster, and everybody else know I’m sick of this shit.

OP Who is now blocked, GET A LIFE AND FORGET TO POST A SCREENSHOT. This screenshot stuff is PURE GARBAGE.

This is such a thought provoking read.

One of my buddies is an astrophysicist just finishing his PhD candidacy and he’s in the final thrust

When we have time to get together and talk, a lot of our dialogue centers around the fact that all the things that physics considers to be “real” are emergent artifacts, turbulent vortices in a way, that arise from transformations that cannot exist within the resolution of our current domain.

Fundamental physics is kind fked right now because I think nothing is real and that’s hard to accept.

It seems like there is only a unified blob, and the only things that are actually “real” are rotating reference frames, potential gradients & one operation which is addition. From the rotation of reference frames arises the operator (direction) which is addition, and from that arises gradient. Another way of saying it is that the entire universe is an illusion arising from one giant rotating blob.

I finally learned how to block people

Consider conducting some actual research and study, instead of deciding your and biased ideas represent reality.

The fact is that in terms of frequency non-males are worst. Males more severe physical damage per incident.

But don’t argue with me here, if you wanted actual knowledge on the subject you’d have it already.

I had the exact same experience. I am a man that suffered tremendous amount of violence at the hands of my female caregivers and partners. I reported a similar hate-based comment against men and I got banned temporarily.

Yeah we have people that are fucking starving and borderline ready to riot in the streets like the depression in the twenties, child labor in the states is on the rise … Fascism is on the rise… Basic human rights in the developed world are on the decline… Concentration of wealth is at an all-time high and the population which does all the work has the fewest resources in the history of the entire earth…

But “fuck Nestle” is the refrain

Put in a p in any URL to get a slideshow carousel. Great for self-flagellation. Redditp…

Please stop smoking the drapes. We are in the rise of massive fascism worldwide - I literally don’t understand how you could make such a statement.

Not to be cynical, but the same human sludge on Reddit is now here. There’s a major problem with the collective consciousness that a new platform won’t solve.

If it makes you feel any better, Reddit is and always has been shit. From their “fake it till you make it” days to the “narwhals and bacon” and then the RealFeelz™ community make-believe. It’s the people that made it what it was, the platform has always been a steaming loaf of shit.

edit: Oh wait, how could I forget the ViolentAcrez days. The LARPing mental case that had 300 accounts and VPNs before most knew what that was, and spent his entire LIFE trolling until he got found out by his employer who very publicly humiliated and fired his ass. The same fuckwit that Spez partnered with to run all kinds of scum subs like JailBait, etc. Reddit is shit, made by shit people. Good people accidentally found it now they’re leaving.

I was sign up number 3. I emailed Spez his own source code because he had the error reporting on his Web Server set to “VERBOSE”.

I was permanently banned for an answer in an AskReddit thread that amounted to “what is true in your line of work that you can’t say”. My answer was that (edit: as I work in a highly female-dominated field of social work 30 women for every man)… non-males are insanely violent and one of the huge lies that is held in the public consciousness is that “men are the violent ones” when the reality is all people are violent, and there’s a tremendous amount of IPV especially in same-sex partnerships. Banned for “advocating violence”.

I had to laugh at this. I do a lot of hobby electronics repair and yeah, these pieces of dog shit are all over our local “collector” “vintage” and “retro” boards. Yeah imma give you $80 for your Sears cardboard box that’s also water stained, and even when it was new had incorrect and also non-adjustable platter speed /s

Not a lot of meat on this article, but yeah, I think it’s pretty obvious that those who seek automated tools to define their own thoughts and feelings become dependent. If one is so incapable of mapping out ones thoughts and putting them to written word, its natural they’d seek ease and comfort with the “good enough” (fucking shitty as hell) output of a bot.
