   I have urgen work, so of course I've become fixated by a particularly terrible Steam profile and am having to fight the urge to hate-read every review review it's ever written.

   This isn't even the first time this has happened.

     Oh no, this "dedicated to giving bad copypasted reviews to indie games" account has done the thing to a game I love and now it feels personal.

     @bazkie Honestly, it's partly marvelling at the fact that they've "reviewed" 11,139 games.

     Like, I'm great at wasting my time, but holy crap, this is next level stuff.

     Still not as bad as the Templar Squirrel Nazi I found last year.

     @HauntedOwlbear bad people will always exist. it's better to not spend too much energy on them (but I understand the urge)

     @bazkie Steam has some very unhinged user profiles.

     I actually found that one when I was doing legitimate work-related research about neo-nazi recruiting on the platform.

     Some oxbridge medical student cosplays the squirrel knight from Divinity: Original Sin while being fashy in far too many words.

     (Thank you for dragging me out of my current rabbit hole upthread, btw.)
