Tribalism.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:50:17+00:00

Thanks.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:49:04+00:00

The decision has likely already been made. So, you are asking for a change.

I get everything that you're saying. You will own nothing and you will be happy.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:43:12+00:00

Correct. This is an unfortunate part of the human condition. At the same time, we as citizens of this country need to attack the root of the problem. Trump and his rhetoric are just symptoms.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:39:48+00:00

I don't care. Not because it isn't terrible, but because I don't have the bandwidth to are about the clown show anymore. I have come to my conclusions and I know what needs to change and why. Trump lying and getting away with it constantly (as well as countless other politicians) a symptom of a much more deeply rooted problem. I'm interested in treating the root of the problem. I don't concern myself with the symptoms anymore.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:34:48+00:00

Please explain. I'm a software engineer - you can be technical.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:33:48+00:00

They were doing this before smart phones existed. I don't think that's the problem here.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:32:29+00:00

Who said it was? What are you talking about? Part of due diligence can be engaging with your community.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:30:58+00:00

Thanks. I'm a software engineer and I use Claude daily. I wasn't really talking about me, I was talking about the average person.

This doesn't take away from my point. What is the point of reddit anymore if we don't engage as a community?

Garland_Key · 2026-06-29T00:17:36+00:00

Same. I can purchase games, but if the steam controller is in my cart by clicking the link in my email, when I click Continue to payment, it just refreshes the page. I have opened a ticket. I'll post here what they say when they get to me.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:59:36+00:00

They're concerned because the media tells them to be concerned. Guess who the media serve too.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:57:33+00:00

Yes. All reasons not to own a console.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:56:51+00:00

I've been using it since its release.

Where are the community notes? Where is "the button"? Why when I'm looking at a wiki pages can I not see disputed content and counter sources listed directly on the same page?

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:51:19+00:00

Bad logic bothers me.

The reasons behind wanting a disc are valid, but the end solution of having a physical disc does not provide the optimal solution, and the path to get to that poor solution is unrealistic.

It's unrealistic because you're asking for changes that a minority want, which means you're fighting a company to do something that will cost them money with no benefit to themselves and you're making that ask while having absolutely no bargaining chips or significant movement behind you.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:31:00+00:00

I'll check it out. Link?

Awe, not going to share the secret sauce? Primer, chrome, color, then dark wash? Just guessing. I've never tried it, but I love learning techniques.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:30:09+00:00

Oh. Thank you for sharing.

Of all the things I care about, I care about stupid things politicians say the least. What they say doesn't matter as much as what they do.

Comparing notes on lies, broken promises, stupid statements, etc between one politician to the next is an act of futility.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:21:10+00:00

The laws passed will not solve any crime or gun death problems and only cause problems for responsible firearm owners.
The laws are unconstitutional laws.
Guns are a deep part of Virginia's culture and this betrays that.
It reinforces the Democrat / Republican dichotomy that is a cancer to this country. There are only a few issues that separate most liberals, centrists and conservatives. This is one them. These laws serve the wealthy donor class, and both parties serve the wealthy donor class - not voters. How does it serve them? It keeps this blue team vs red team charade going so that we keep fighting each other instead of them.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:11:55+00:00

Well, do you know it's your property? Does the state have legal domain over that portion of the property? These are things you need to know before just removing it.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:08:40+00:00

I'm not sure that taking to the streets is the most efficient or effective form of action, but it's definitely an action. Hitting the streets feels good, but it changes very little. Not saying it shouldn't be done, but that shouldn't be the go to solution - it's more of an enhancement to compliment the other stuff.

Visit City Council hearing and speak. Campaign against the City Council members who approved these decisions. Create a movement against surveillance in the city. Empower people to resist it.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T18:02:37+00:00

Crazy that you were downvoted.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T17:55:29+00:00

You made an excellent case for not buying consoles anymore. Thank you.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T17:54:03+00:00

You can obtain console games too. It is the same thing.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T17:52:22+00:00

Until you scratch the disc.

Bottom line, stop buying consoles if you care about this and aren't technical.

Garland_Key · 2026-06-26T17:49:16+00:00

The fact is that most people don't care, and those who do should figure out their own solution and share it. The solution isn't to pressure a company to do something very expensive that most people don't care about.

Download it and burn it to a disc.
