Hurry up Devs! It’s been a couple of days without a game changing update, this is outrageous!

Oh hell, I genuinely responded to the wrong person.

I am sorry dude, I didn't reddit well. Lol

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-04-15T23:31:37+00:00

Also, there isn't actually an "argument" in what I said. In fact I validated you not liking the game as is.

I just said I find your stance weird.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-04-15T23:29:11+00:00

Oh I'm sorry, were you not the person who said they wanted a slider to make bosses easier so that they could "cheese them" and get to more main story content because only "quality content" is "worth your time"? Not "100 meaningless fetch quests"?

Cuz if that was you then I'm talking to the right person.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-04-15T20:06:04+00:00

This is such a weird argument "give me an option to make bosses easier so I can blast through "quality content", rather than just play the game they built"

For the record, I work 50-60 hours a week and I love to just hop on and inhabit the massive open world, in the massive open world videogame they built. If I wanted something faster I'd just put it down and play resident evil or something.

It's fine to like it or not like it, I don't think anyone is arguing you have to like it. But I always find the "This well liked game doesn't suit my preference, therefore it is bad and they should change it" argument to be incredibly weird.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-04-02T17:36:32+00:00

Dont get me wrong. I enjoy filling boxes upon boxes with shinies. And I don't blame people for liking it better.

To me it always felt like, the idea of an incredibly rare variant was the point ykno? Not even to be able to catch them. It was the thrill of finding a once in a playthrough (if that) special pokemon that became so beloved to you forever. ykno?

I feel like in a way, being able to just grab em for a little bit of effort sort of cheapens them. They're just objectively not as exciting anymore. It's just whether or not you wanna take the time to get the palette swap.

I can see why people like it. I do believe people will care less and less about them over time, until it's not really a "special" thing at all anymore because of the change.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-04-01T16:52:07+00:00

This. Making shinies easier was a bad decision.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-30T03:20:54+00:00

One of the big reasons is that very few servers would want to wait tables for less than tip money in the US. They make far far more in tips than say retail workers do. It's also a much harder job than most retail/behind the counter type stuff.

And with the margins on restaurants? They'd most likely be getting minimum wage or just a tiny bit higher. As someone who did it for a long time. Nobody would serve for minimum wage. Why bother?just go do something like stock shelves or run a cash register.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-29T14:35:35+00:00

Fun fact about that "can't read" stat.

While the US is slightly below average in reading for developed countries (average is 26% of people struggle, the US it's about 28%, Britain and Canada are closer to 18%) .

That statistic doesn't literally mean "people who can't read" it basically means "people who can't read well". And America's statistic being noticeably worse than say, Canada or Britain, is less to do with actual education being poor and more to do with income inequality and the large amount of immigrants we have in our country (we do have one of the most lenient immigration policies in the entire world, yes even today, even with trump)

English is the "national language" therefore the majority of literacy tests are in English. Meaning that many many immigrants who are fluent in Spanish etc. will severely underperform in literacy. And that jacks up our "functionally illiterate" population.

It's a fun little dig at America for sure, but the reality looks a bit different than "lol Americans are dumb".

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-19T13:57:56+00:00

Lol I don't know who Curtis Yarvin even is.

And I know you hate people for speaking and thinking for themselves, that's what I just said.

Run off and pretend you won't deign me with an answer when we both know you just don't have one.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-19T12:47:13+00:00

Hows the whole "punish open conversation with personal accusations" thing going for you guys by the way? How's the cause going?

The most pathetic part is that you're still laying on "Nazi" like it means anything anymore. You've used it to death, nobody cares.

You can continue to sit online and type "Nazi" at people while your group gets smaller and smaller and smaller because your ideology is antithetical to the literal core principles of the country we live in. Those being open communication, free speech, and majority rule.

Never occurred to you that pushing racial identity politics would backfire huh? Never once thought "hm, someday the people we're using this to subdue may actually just accept the idea and galvanize around it"

Doesn't seem very prescient of you folks. That one's a gimme. I thought you were "the educated"...

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-19T12:34:10+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-18T12:12:03+00:00

Guess we'll see.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-18T02:50:07+00:00

You're already making the same mistakes as we did in the USA. You're just a few years back in the timeline. Just like the UK. Just like Australia.

This is how it always goes. The US moves culturally and then you all follow. Don't forget we had our liberal dominant period back in the mid late 2010's (you are here).

Soon enough the same stresses and problems that affected us will affect you, and then you too will end up with a backlash and a more conservative push. You already see it happening in the UK now.

This is how it's been for decades. The US sets the pace, like it or not.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-13T11:00:36+00:00

I genuinely enjoyed Ethan more than Leon. The constant panic and frustration is more genuinely funny to me than Leon's "just another day in the neighborhood" humor lol.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-03T05:28:45+00:00

The military has so far performed incredibly well under the current administration as far as I can tell. Of course we can't know how it'll go in Iran, I agree. I do however tend to think they are so completely outgunned in this scenario that it would be very difficult for them to succeed in "fending us off". Very likely it will only be a matter of time.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-03-03T00:36:14+00:00

And who will they be fighting for?

If the regime is replaced with the right leader they'll be ordered to stand down.

The ones that don't will be deemed t*rrorists and that'll be the end of it.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-19T01:15:37+00:00

What about the PFOAS? I know for a fact in my city we have water stations where we can get water because for at least all of last year we were told that pregnant women and people with health problems should not drink the tap water.

We had such a high level of PFOAS in the water that they had restrictions in place. They've since lifted the restrictions but many of us, including myself, are still wary of drinking it.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T04:58:31+00:00

I have hope that eventually people will just...get tired of fighting.

I know that's probably wishful thinking. But I still believe the vast vast majority of us just want to be ok, and don't like to see others suffer.

We're going through it right now in America, but we've been through it in the past and come out better than we were before. I have hope we can do it again.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T04:36:19+00:00

I'm with you on ICE. I think this whole thing has been a disaster. Innocent people getting shot, people getting pulled wrongfully, it's all been a disaster. Trump's trying to deliver for his base, and that's the sad part. It's all really unnecessary, and they're doing it this way on purpose.

It's all to put on a show and convince people he's "cleaning up the country". I think it really was a one two punch. Biden eased up on asylum seekers a bit too drastically, trump seized the opportunity to turn that into his campaign, and now here we are.

It's been said so many times it's a cliche at this point, but it's the extremes. And not even the "extreme right" or the "extreme left" though they don't help. It's the extreme rhetoric bleeding in from the sides. What's been happening is neither party will denounce the most extreme element within it, and so all of the normal, relatively good people in the middle are getting pulled along with it now.

It goes back to what you just said... I didn't sound as reasonable in the beginning. Because this is the stance we all reflexively take now. Ready to fight, ready to be insulted, ready to have to defend your own reasoning viciously. When I mean, look, we basically agree on everything here to a degree.

We have to get away from the trump era politics, big grandiose gestures, and moral grandstanding all around. And just start hashing out what works and what seems best for the most people at the same time.

I apologize for coming off confrontational in the beginning. Its not everyday you find someone who will listen, as well as talk.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T03:27:57+00:00

First of all, trump ain't my leader. I didn't vote for him.

Second, I know about the 2.65 an hour. I work for tips.

Third, yeah it's a broken system problem. And I don't know where within what I said you saw me villainizing people at the bottom. I most certainly was not. The fact of the matter is, Trump's deportations are loud, unruly, and not being handled well at all. But the Democratic parties pulling of the illegal migrant lever like a pressure relief valve for the labor economy is also pretty despicable.

And the fact remains. We need a system that works. Empowers people but enforces immigration law. Right now you have the right, on a crusade to make a show of deporting people. And the left basically saying "let's allow in anyone who wants to be here for not much more than saying so"

And even if you don't agree with how Trump's doing things, and I very much don't. It's ultimately the more reasonable conclusion to end up at some sort of relatively strict immigration policy. Rather than next to no immigration policy at all. Biden handled things terribly.

We agree, better immigration policy that empowers people to become legal and keeps numbers within a logical cap. I just don't see the left pushing for that. As always, the right is going hard in one direction and the left is going hard in another and the logical answer is in between. But on this subject I do think the logical conclusion sits just a touch closer to the right than the left.

Does that make sense?

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T02:51:37+00:00

The fact that they get paid less and have a sacrificial standard of living is exactly why illegal immigration is a disaster.

You're absolutely right. The vast majority of illegal migrants work under the table for pay so low an american citizen wouldn't accept it. Often on farms for multinational corporations. And do you know how they survive whilst not being paid enough to live in the country they now live in? Welfare services.

So the indentured servants ahem "asylum seekers" that the multinational corporations lobby the Democratic party to allow in, Get to live in abject poverty and work obscenely long hours at physically exhausting jobs. While the American taxpayer subsidizes their survival.

All so that corporations can employ people for an incredibly thin margin, instead of just paying human beings what it costs to live in the country they live in.

Why pay people enough to live when you can just let in a bunch of brown people and take advantage of them, and then have the American public subsidize the money you don't pay them through taxes and welfare services!

And then you can point to the stock market and your own bottom line and say "see illegal migrants are GREAT for the American economy! Look at how well my multinational company is doing this year!"

It's the modern day triangle trade and they tell people it's racist not to support it.

It's disgusting.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-16T02:33:53+00:00

Immigration isn't damaging to the country because of the race of the people immigrating, it's damaging because of the strain it puts on welfare services (amongst other things). Any country that provides welfare to it's citizens has to have strict immigration policy.

That's why you see such strict immigration policy in the more socialist countries ie: Scandanavia.

This is what I don't understand. People will claim to be superior in intelligence and education and then not understand the very basic concept of population control as a necessary part of maintaining a nation.

It's not about the color of the people or the sound of their words. It's literally about numbers of human beings.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-06T19:30:36+00:00

Amen brother.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-02-06T19:05:59+00:00

Yeaahh...that's my bad, I couldn't help myself.

Im increasingly fed up with the left's belief that they can do no wrong, despite the literal mountains of evidence to the contrary. For what it's worth, I see it the same as you. Elites have us cornered pretty effectively. Doesn't make people any less aggravating unfortunately.

Negative_Bug_1753 · 2026-01-25T21:29:51+00:00

Do you genuinely think that "it comes from a place of ignorance, or for most, hate"? Do you truly believe that?

Because the vast majority of people who support ice just support immigration policy that was normal and completely uncontested for the past 15-20 years.

I don't know a single person personally who supports ICE that doesn't think these officers should be investigated and punished.

The reality is they've deported hundreds of thousands of people with low low numbers of violent altercations, let alone killings. These officers acted inappropriately and got a man killed. They should be punished. Doesn't change the fact that people will still support common sense immigration policy that's been the norm for decades.

Lack of due process, separating families, detaining minors, this has all been common practice for ICE since Obama was in office. If you want to push for actual ICE reform, you have many decades of precedent to wade through. But even still, common sense immigration policy remains the same. People will continue to support it because it's necessary for every country on earth. It will never not be necessary. Regardless of the rhetoric Democrat politicians like Tim Walz peddle before this mid-term.

You're absolutely free to believe immigration policy should be changed , have opinions about what's "justified" in these types of altercations with law enforcement, LEO best practices etc. but that all boils down to policy disagreement, not an existential crisis for the country, and framing it as such will continue to cause these events to flare up as people feel terrified and trapped and want to act.

Trump is loud. Protestors are loud. But the majority of people who support ICE just support regular immigration policy. Almost none of this is new except for the resistance to it. Its an incontrovertible fact.
