we're already seeing it with stuff like game pass, which is just paying a monthly fee to rent games. not to sound paranoid but I swear the amount of times I've seen the phrase "game pass is the best value in gaming" on social media like reddit/twitter/etc. makes me think they've been astroturfing this shit hard and it's frustrating to see people fall for it.
If I can't pay money and own the game then I'll just steal it or do something else with my time
I've been replaying Nier Replicant but I'll probably take a break to play some of that roguelike mode in the last of us part 2 remaster that's coming out this week. I'm also looking forward to playing the persona 3 remake, FF7 rebirth, and dragon's dogma 2 but it'll probably take me a while to get to all of them.
being such a weirdo that you get thrown out of an event is extremely on-brand for NAFO losers. Damn imagine knowing and interacting with this person on a daily basis. nightmare shit
It sounds like you got under this guy’s skin.
yea lol It's always funny when someone goes out of their way to let you know you struck a nerve
I don't think the subreddit is affiliated with that group
not really, I think it started as a more radical offshoot of the antiwork sub (or something similar) and has been drifting further left since then
the r/workersstrikeback sub is currently being purged of liberals and it's been very entertaining watching the mods post bait threads and then banning all the dipshits getting mad in the replies lol. salute to their mods 🫡
that's cool. I voted for her in 2020
For the past ten years… I don’t think I ever ended a session of a player vs player match - “happy.”
Yeah I had this same realization a while ago when I used to almost exclusively play competitive games. When I lost a match, at best I just felt bad, and at worst I was pissed because I got my ass kicked by some little shit taunting me over voice chat or something. When I won I just felt okay or maybe relieved, but not really good or happy. Either way when I stopped playing I was usually in a worse mood than when I started.
Now I mostly play single player games and have a lot more fun. After I close out of the game I feel satisfied and like I genuinely enjoyed the time I spent playing it. No more getting needlessly stressed out or having my day ruined because of a game. Also it helps that when I need to answer my phone, get a package at the door, etc. I can (usually) just pause the game and come back no problem.
idk if he has since changed his views but at one point he said he'd be okay with bombing the DPRK again
I’d expect the same out of a machine I might potentially have to, say, deliver a pregnant wife to the hospital in.
lol first thing I thought of too. I've been in emergency situations where I needed to get to a hospital immediately and if my car did this I'd be fucking livid. As dangerous as motorcycles are at least I know that mine will never fail a software update or some shit, and if it doesn't start I can just bump start it to get it going and then figure out what's wrong later.
I'm no luddite but there's beauty in a machine that's designed to be as simple to operate and maintain as possible
a fate worse than death
