  • Wow, and I consider steam to be utter trash. It uses more resources than the games I want to play. A web browsing engine, in the software that’s the only way to launch the game you paid for, just to show bargain bin shit. But I’m not interested in that, I just want to have a place to shop, and then the ability to use the things I bought. I don’t want to drive to Walmart to play the music I bought, I don’t want my computer to load Walmart just so I can play a game. It’s crazy how bad Steam has become.

    I wouldn’t even care if a game ran at a consistent sub 30 fps. I just refresh the way I feel about what I’m doing. Like when you switch to black and white television, or music written in a different tonal system, or an Adam Sandler movie. Just relax, turn off the analysis, let your ocular systems rewire some stuff, and suddenly you don’t even notice anything weird.

    But when the fps is all over the place I can’t hang anymore.

    I think it’s a neurodivergent thing. When Steve says “Israeli’s are a bunch of Nazis” you’re supposed to pass through the words and see what Steve is expressing. Steve didn’t couch his statement in a clinical, “these be the facts” tone, it’s obvious what Steve meant. He’s calling out Israel for abhorrent behavior

    The “this means X so if you say that it means Y” things is the way some neurodivergents slice up the world. Like we live in a videogame or something. They will literally tell you what you meant by attaching arbitrary rules to your words.

    Anyways, Israeli’s are definitely Nazis. (They are not literally Nazis) Their war is soulless, evil. (Evil does not literally exist, soulless is elegant shorthand for morality, how one feels about actions, how deep one feels those patterns are embedded, etc.)
