Steve's dope. He's an ally, he looks out for his friends, and he tries to do his best every day. We could all learn a lot from Steve.

But yeah, you see the signs in little things. Like gaming culture. If you aren't first, you're last. If you aren't completely dominating, you're weak. Our relationship with failure is *not* a healthy one.

Americans are the most propagandized people on the planet. I firmly believe this. We're taught a fiction about the world, and then corporate propaganda is constantly there to make us want more, and be terrified of losing what we have. It teaches complete subservience to those with more than us.

It goes deep, my man. We're the ones who coined "the war on x" where x is drugs, obesity, etc. Everything's a war. Everything's a fight.

Our schools' grading scales emphasize competition over results. We throne the top winner and anyone who isn't the best sucks.

We're afraid of falling behind

Also, "bad" is way subjective. I've had a blast with "bad" games

If no one else responded with this, I was going to.

Shit lives *rent free* in my head since playing Metaphor.

My hot take of the day is that Stranger things season 5 is very enjoyable and maybe folks just need to hone their suspension of disbelief when watching fantasy and science fiction

But I thought we were against socialism

I'm not opposed to the spending, but I am opposed to playing goddamn word games

The only reason this nation clings to any facsimile of greatness is because of the efforts and dreams of immigrants

Amazing how much fun games can be when you don't have someone screaming in your ear about how much the game sucks

I do wish people would be a little kinder. We're all so easily angered online, and there's so much *stuff* that it's hard to catch all the details.

All you can do is your best!

have they considered putting efforts into making the flying experience a much less miserable experience thus decreasing the level of stress that everyone feels so that the environment is more conducive towards a kind one?

no? Just beg people to not get mad as they're getting screwed?

cool I guess

Just for the record, this is the kind of shit that *destroys* rural areas. Oftentimes plants like these draw in people all in the surrounding area in smaller towns. It's a *seriously disruptive* event to that community.

What a fucking headline. How dare we retain our devices and not swap them out to keep the machine fed. Let's also conveniently forget planned obsolescence.

The number of people who post "Well, it doesn't matter if it's true if the sentiment is something I agree with" comments on AI-generated bullshit is depressing

please care about truth

it actually does matter

Cool graph with zero statistics to go off of, basically the equivalent of "I am the chad and you are the soyjack" meme template

I'm pretty sure October was the month we saw the back to back to back to back layoffs, yeah? Not that I can directly remember, time's slip-slidey

I'm trying to decide on what the best way to respond to that extremely aggressive post, but on reflection it feels like you're just lashing out at a strawman.

So I guess I'll just say, at least those protesting are connecting with their community and doing something instead of bitching on the net
