what he fuck I’ve never ran into anyone like that.don’t even wanna know where you do this regularly

mostly people with jobs

it is but the problem with playing devil’s advocate is that sometimes you actually advocate for the devil.

1. who said anything about success, that sounds needlessly defensive
2. are you pretending that more people using linux wouldn’t be beneficial for linux

so first there was no gatekeeping but now gatekeeping is good, actually. brilliant

the post is literally about gatekeeping what the fuck are you even taking about

gatekeeping always helps with conversion rates, keep it up 👍

oh no not the expansion to the game no one even remembers

dude they shut down monolith and canceled the only game with a nemesis system we were going to play. nothing they do is newsworthy anymore. they were always shitty but now they’re also completely pointless.

exactly what happened last time lol and now I can’t load comments on one of their communities I don’t remember which

DMs are for directly messaging someone as opposed to commenting on a thread which would be public conversation

reddit chat on the other hand is for bots so that’s where you get your spam

even mechanics can be unintentionally political. there was a really cool errant signal video years ago talking about civilization games. it was mostly about what the games idea of a “civilization” is and how the win conditions reinforced the idea that one civilization has to be the superior one to rule them all…

but also these ideas were further reinforced by the way barbarians were depicted. that word already has baggage but the interesting thing is that in civ4 they share a banner with wildlife. like, they’re almost like animals or natural disasters and not people at all.

what conservatives don’t understand is that you can think about things like this and acknowledge what they mean and still enjoy the game and or understand why these choices were made. they’re not necessarily political choices as much as they’re mechanical, but that doesn’t mean we can’t think about what mechanical choices might mean to the player, or what messages they send. if video games are art, they can—and I would say must—be critiqued.

fear of change is at the core of conservatism, and that drives their utter aversion to introspection, and also to criticism of things and people they like. and vice versa, they can’t bring themselves to appreciate any part of anything they don’t like. if they like a person they can do no wrong. if they like a game it must be perfect. if they dislike a song it’s the harbinger of the fall of civilization (ooh look at me bringing it full circle).

in a world of absolutes, there can be no discussion. don’t ask me to think about things please. leave your thoughts and opinions out of my fun time, lest my views get challenged. this is what’s funny about the likes of ben shapiro pretending that they have the facts while liberals are too emotional. their entire world view is based on their feels, and their arguments follow those as justification.

it’s not, and that is probably the case. still good to see because I’m sure it annoys him as the most insecure bitch baby in the world.

if you think about it, in tetris once you fit perfectly you get destroyed. but if you don’t, you stand and eventually help each other get to the top. maybe it’s a caution against conformity.

I’ve heard this before but “a man who hates an animal” makes me laugh so hard

I’m glad, because you’re talking nonsense.

what you’re referring to is a time when you were a kid and didn’t realize the politics. now you’re aware of it and are acting like it’s new. this is just illiteracy.

because it’s an llm there’s zero credence to what it says but I like that grok’s takes on elon are always almost exclusively dunking on him. this is like the 40th thing I see about grok talking about elon and it always talks shit about him

because you think of “I never get laid” as a normal human need to connect with another person, which is what it is but they’re too deep in misogyny to realize it. instead to them getting laid is a quest to complete and it involves a quest item known as a woman, not a character. so I never get laid has less of an undertone of “why can’t I connect with a woman” and more of “when will we get our government mandated sex slaves”

this literally has nothing to do with the game itself. it’s about behavior towards other people, which is intently political.

also video games are art which makes them political as well.

the fact that you kneejerked into this reaction feels super insecure and reactionary.

never designed anything

i am convinced that he at least had a lot of say in the design of cybertruck. the sheer amount of design flaws on that thing is just too many to believe it was made by actual engineers without any input from a barely literate troglodyte.

cease your attempts at causing “retrieve” to transpire.
