Not always. Sometimes, the whole system collapses, and then after a period of insecurity, we all enjoy a period of massive prosperity.
My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me

So many poor and working class Americans will see this and think, “Progress!”
I was a total Rust junkie, I was playing 40 hours a week. Then they dropped support for the Linux client and wouldn’t let Proton users do EAC. I had to stop cold turkey. But I fucking did it, because fuck capital-driven operating systems designed to exploit me and my own computer against me.
They probably didn’t want to highlight how vast portions of the base game’s overworld had no content whatsoever and seemed unfinished, so they’re pretending it is part of the auteur schtick.
not even remotely similar to what “back to nature” would mean
Dang, wrong Captain Blood. There is something significant to be learned from that game. The symbolic language you use to communicate with other characters is a very simple language and it isn’t interesting in itself, but what does interest me is how quickly some players become “fluent” in the language. When characters speak, each word has a glyph that the player can learn to sight read without looking it up, but each word also has a pronunciation, and very quickly some players don’t even need to read the glyphs. The feeling of realizing you can conversationally understand what this weird alien is saying to you in an alien language is pretty wonderful! I think there is a potential here for some very powerful educational tools.
Discovery and wonder? Is THAT what I was supposed to feel while wandering aimlessly through vast areas of no content??
Yes, unless you exclusively give your money to people who aren’t exploitative and abusive, you get fucking exploited and abused, and contribute to others getting exploited and abused. It’s 1 + 1 = 2. You’re making it way more complicated than it needs to be. But yes, it’s something you have to be mindful of ALL the time.
We know that Sony has done or does almost all of those things, or worse. You’re defending your abuser. This is a common pattern that many many people demonstrate. Break out. If you think the abuse is going to stop with “needing to have a burner account,” you’re fucking lying to yourself and you probably know it.
I don’t understand how you can intentionally put a root kit on your audio CDs and still exist the next year.
No, that’s the price of consuming content from exploitive corporations that leverage capital against you to better exploit you. Stop being a class traitor.
how do you know when someone is cruel and violent towards animals don’t worry they tell you ha ha ha ha
Not oniony – just normal Nikki Haley things, by this point.
Of course this means that companies like Comcast are giving money to candidates to have their ticket included in this mess, and they don’t care about doing a little fascism along the way.
It’s hilarious and telling to see “net neutrality” shoehorned in there. Goddamn queers and their net neutrality!
The research is not nearly comprehensive enough to say that a massively popular game franchise does not have a social and political effect on how people view firearms. That’s a massive leap from “gamer kids don’t get into fights at recess more than non-gamers.”
Alack, alack-a-day! In sooth I have no confidence that the literary style, themes, and values of Louis Rhead will be faithfully represented…
We live in a corporatocracy and we vote with our dollars. Voting for Sony is class defection. To promote them for zero dollars is truly to be a useful fool.
Still can’t play SimGolf…
I feel like this is just enabling Microsoft.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work in general. It is easier to poison discussion than it is to convince people with arguments. One person screaming obscenities prevent an entire room of people from having a rational discussion. It’s an asymmetrical effort, it’s hard work to produce quality information, and it’s free to generate gigabytes of slanted information.
If you are a human being, there are many things you know are true, but you act as if they are not. We are not rational creatures, we are social creatures. We don’t respond to arguments, we respond to social cues. It is more important for an extremely social creature like a human to agree with their social group than to be objectively correct.
