I love the idea that the most controversial thing a shock jock could be in 1980s Miami is an openly gay liberal who calls the president a Nazi.

The combined force of every leftist YouTuber couldn't stop Hogwarts Legacy from being the bestselling game of its year, but if we could just get one more essayist to talk about the same thing everyone else is talking about with nothing new to add we could turn this genocide around around

Sounds like you should stop watching a channel that you no longer enjoy instead of making it everyone else's problem.

I wonder if the rise of sports betting has anything to do with the rise in everyone always trying to argue something is the "greatest of all time". That type of competitive, ranking-based discussion format used to be squarely in the realm of sportsfans but now people talk about everything that way.

Inside Out felt stifling paternalistic for a movie about mental health: none of Riley's problems are real, they're all in her head and she just needs to be told it's not a big deal. Totally fits with his recent quotes about not wanting to expose children to "inappropriate" material.

RPG Paper Maker

I've been learning RPG Paper Maker because I don't have the chops to make RPG Maker games not look like RPG Maker games, so the next best thing is to use one that hasn't been as oversaturated as the default RPG Maker rpg-paper-maker.com

I feel the same way about people saying that Scully is immortal because Clyde Bruckman says she never dies. Even my autistic ass could tell it was just him being nice to a woman he liked.

People who won't sign a petition because they're afraid of leaving a paper trail but will actively taunt one of the most exhaustive private panopticons on the planet in the name of getting free treats.

You know what will make you a lot more useful to the revolution? Having a criminal record because you were bored and you didn't respect how much power Walmart has to ruin your life or how willing cops are to fuck you over for petty reasons or how much of genpop will actively rat you out.

They picked the worst possible place to use as an example, but people acting like recreational shoplifting is praxis because it ostensibly hurts a company's bottom line has the same vibe as when conservatives talk about how they'd kill a million apes to save one person because they just want to kill

Maybe you can start telling people to block the shelves themselves after they take something off of it, get a head start on eliminating another position.

Blaming the customers for your bosses not hiring enough people to do all the work that needs doing to the point where in your free time you scold other people about it online is ludicrous behavior. Get mad at your bosses instead of browbeating people to help eliminate your job.

When people put their carts away on their own for free the stores don't have to pay people to gather them like they used to. It's the same social engineering as self-checkout lines replacing cashiers.

I imagine the mental gymnastics are half the fun of risking your life and livelihood for the sick little thrill of not paying for something you don't need.

It must be so confusing to be a young person playing Poker Night at the Inventory, wondering who this Tycho guy is, and then being greeted by a grotesque chipmunk monster in his clothes when you look up the comic in the modern day.

Two big names in indie gaming worked on this. One is still one of the most popular and influential indie devs out there, the other was a rapist who killed himself.

Defamation of Character is still online, I get the Banman joke now after reading the 1990 article about him comparing himself to Batman www.moddb.com/downloads/de...

Praxis is when you do unpaid labor for the biggest corporations on earth because a screenshot of a 4chan post said you're a bad person if you don't

Well-off people who shoplift for a little thrill love to hide behind imagined starving people of color who steal to survive whenever people make fun of or criticize them.

If I reductively dismissed a piece of media as a "man is the real monster" story because I was aggrieved at the concept of games focusing on stories and it turned out to be incredibly popular and critically acclaimed I would simply take the L instead of spending 13 years never letting go.
