Yeah, rumor has it consoles sell like 10 units each anymore and the Steam Deck flopped hard...

Edit: This is sarcasm, lmfao.

You’re right, sarcasm doesn’t convey well over text. Sarcasm is literally based entirely on tone, thats why we have things like the “/s” or alternating caps. It’s not my fault you didn’t think before you typed.

r/FuckTheS, alternating caps are annoying too. The issue here is that →you← are way too quick to assume that another person is dumb, when it's more likely that →you← misunderstood their message.

I'm well aware of how stupid people on the internet can be.

But did you even read my comment or think about it before you typed?

"Consoles sell like ten units each" is not exactly something any sane person would say... If you have the knowledge of clicking rocks together to make noise, you have the knowledge needed to see I wasn't being serious.

It's not my fault you clearly fell below that bar.

Now you’re using an ad hominem right off the bat. You’re mad at everyone else for your own mistake and it’s not a good look dude. Getting mad over downvotes is just sad..

"Right off the bat" again, more proof you're not even reading my comments before leaving them. But what else would I expect from someone that frequents political forums? Politeness? Decency?

I don't even care which side gets taken, I see red or blue and I know I'm gonna be treated like garbage because you all throw away politeness in the pursuit of political superiority.

If I was truly mad, I would have done what I'm about to do from the getgo. You insulted me first, and now you're mad I returned the favor...

No one can ever take what they dish out.
