I had it worse. My family insults me for playing video games past 14. Where’s justice for gamers. The most vulnerable group of people on the planet are without a banner.

[Greatness Gone]

the "baby's grandfather is homophobic because he's coming to see his grandchild" argument might be the single most fucking retarded thing I've read on there in a while. It is interesting that this website's userbase can still somehow find ways to reach new lows every day.

Mask off is right.  I wasn't expecting a Jeff Marvel mask off moment to LGBTQ+ but then again he spends most of his time at the Nazi Twitter site

I can’t believe those posts over the grandfather story, mind bending stuff, they’re incapable of reading anything and will just wilfully ignore it and bend it to their view to get angry over nothing

I think it's a bit cruel that Sweeney went with showing off her legs instead of her bazongas. Like going to the Louvre and Mona Lisa's massive tits are covered up.

I can't fucking deal with this. I lost 10 lbs and almost killed myself in November when SNAP benefits disappeared and my household and many loved ones I know didn't have food to eat. I just became disabled and have had to apply for SSI and federal disability benefits and I don't know if that's impacted now. I'm so scared I fucking hate this country. I'm in one of these cities/states. I don't know what this means or what to do.

Gemini's answer/response to this when I probed it was:

>>>>This is a complex and developing situation involving a conflict between the federal government and specific states. Based on the reports from January 2026, here is an explanation of what is happening and how it affects benefits like food stamps (SNAP) and disability.
The Short Answer

Does this threaten food stamps? Yes. The administration has explicitly threatened to withhold SNAP (food stamp) funding or administrative funds from states that do not comply with demands for recipient data.
Does this threaten disability money? It depends on the type. State-administered disability benefits could be at risk if they are part of the targeted "block grants." However, direct federal benefits like Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and SSI are generally paid directly to you by the Social Security Administration and are typically harder for the White House to freeze via state funding cuts.
Is it legal? This is currently being fought in court. Federal judges have already issued rulings blocking some of these cuts, calling them unconstitutional.
Detailed Breakdown

1. What does the article mean?

The "defunding" threats generally refer to the Executive Branch using its power to withhold federal money to force "sanctuary" jurisdictions (cities and states that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement) to comply with new policies.
The Tactic: The White House is arguing that states like California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York are failing to prevent "fraud" by not providing detailed data on recipients (specifically to check for immigration status).
The Penalty: As punishment, the administration has moved to freeze or withhold billions of dollars in federal grants that these states use to pay for safety-net programs.
2. Impact on Food Stamps (SNAP)

This is one of the primary targets.
The Threat: In December 2025 and January 2026, the administration announced it would withhold SNAP funds from Democratic-led states unless they handed over sensitive data about recipients.
The Reality: If funds are withheld, states may struggle to administer the program or pay out benefits. However, federal courts have intervened. As of mid-January 2026, judges have blocked many of these freezes, meaning the money should legally continue to flow while the lawsuits proceed.
The Risk: If the administration ignores court orders or finds legal loopholes (like stalling administrative payments), there could be temporary delays or disruptions in benefits for everyone in those states, even U.S. citizens entitled to them by law.
3. Impact on Disability Money

Direct Federal Benefits (SSDI / SSI): These are usually safe from this specific type of "sanctuary city" defunding because they are federal entitlements sent directly to individuals, not grants given to the state to distribute.
State-Run Disability Programs: If you receive state-level disability assistance or services funded by federal "block grants" (like the Social Services Block Grant), these funds are being targeted.
Medicaid: There have also been threats to Medicaid funding in these disputes. Since Medicaid is often tied to disability services, this is an area of concern, though protecting these funds is a high priority in the ongoing lawsuits.
Summary

The administration is indeed trying to cut off this funding, arguing they are stopping "fraud." States and courts are arguing that these cuts illegally harm eligible citizens (like you). Currently, court orders are protecting these payments, but the political and legal battle is creating uncertainty.

And nobody cares.

I've been really taking my time to sink my teeth into this game and get the emulation settings tweaked just right and now with the latest Edens at 64x AA and 4K 144 Hz with RTX HDR on my RTX 5090, the game is just a jewel to behold. I have some gameplay of the frozen level and this shit is unbelievably next-gen looking at points, I think it's by far the most impressive Switch game I've ever seen emulated. If you want to take a peek at what this is like at max Eden settings at 4K 144 Hz (though YouTube only allows up to 2160p60fps) here's some of my gameplay from Eden.

I ironically am not that far on my Switch 2 copy, can't get past those dumb androids in the thunderstorm level lol. But with Steam input + gyroscope tweaking and motion controls on dual-stick controls, I've been able to sing past the game's challenge bumps on my emulation run.

Dec 

I'm having a great experience with it and it looks stunning, but then again I have a 5090 so ymmv. Playing thru Meta Quest 3 and VDXR since that's the best quality you can get and damn at 120 fps with CEMU gfx mods is it incredible.

It's just a tad cumbersome/buggy at hiding Link's player model and they should really have a third-person view hotkey or something. Still, amazing effort.

tossed my switch 2 on the couch yesterday (softly and covered in a blanket) and the analog stick to the L joycon literally snapped the fuck off. Unacceptable for $70-90 accessories of "Nintendo quality." Now I gotta go buy another expensive tariffed fucking 2 pack with my Christmas gift card. Ugh.

"Read the room?"

The room?

Are you implying I'm supposed to moderate my opinion based on what the rest of YOU think of a holiday calendar with a GenAI mistake?

Hysterical. I'm the one with the PhD in Data Science and Bioengineering with 10 years of post-secondary education in this. You read the room. Or just enjoy the circular takes that are worse then GenAI slop, like this:

Nov

Jesus christ at the amount of content in this game.

When I discovered I could pattern and customize my star, I was floored. And unlocking things with EVERY attempt at trying something new makes it even more rewarding to....try something new every time.

What a Sakurai-ass Sakurai game and I'm so thrilled.

figured out a way to get my shiny beedrill to hide behind a wall and lobby sludge bombs at an opponent Pokémon that was helpless to get up to attack me and I would just wait for it to die of poison and it couldn't do anything about it. LMAO.

On and on it goes. I hate to be all cynical but it's a bit strange that someone who is starving, desperate and suicidal would be spending all their time posting about their new toys

He doesn't need to worry for awhile. 
It takes years to get disability approval and he better hire disability lawyer too. Also if he thinks his mental issues is going to get him disability just because he's got a doctor's note........ it's going to take even longer probably not get approved.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/would-you-respect-a-gamer-with-this-library.1405066/

Simple Question, This is the only titles they actively play, I will be giving no further context as to WHY they have this library

• Apex Legends
  
• Call of Duty
  
• Counter-Strike 2
  
• Deadlock
  
• Dota 2
  
• The Finals
  
• Highguard
  
• Rocket League
  
• Rust
  
• Stalcraft: X
  
• Aimlabs
  
• Among Us
  
• Arc Raider
  
• Assetto Corsa
  

Personally, I feel all gaming is valid. We all have our own tastes after-all and there is technically variety here, even if the majority fall under MP. So if this is really their jam, I wouldn't necessarily knock it. However, I would try to recommend they branch out their tastes a bit more and would take their critiques/criticism's on shooters with a grain of salt.

Similar to say, someone that happens to only watch animated movies or only films from a specific studio/label. Sometimes you need to go out of your comfort zone to find something you didn't realize you'd like. I know personally, some of my all-time favorite games were a result of "Well, I guess i'll try this out".

TL:DR - Do you respect this gamer's library? What would you say to them if you do/don't?

Man, these people are fucking weirdos.
