It’s pretty sad that we need a revolution but instead everyone is just flaking on all their friends with a really good excuse

The sheer nihilism coming out of the gaming industry is brutal. The profit margins are shrinking, but there are so many better ways to handle it than sacrificing the heart of the games.
lol why did I preorder this? as an enthusiastic casual who loves extraction and cyberpunk this thing’s onboarding is such a kick in the teeth
(I am really trying not to be a baby with this game, but lordy, I have never felt hostility towards gamers emanating off of a game like this before. Did I miss a convention panel where they literally just waved their middle fingers at the crowd and laughed or something hahaha)
(the game is designed to be extremely gatekeeper-y to keep casual gamers out, which is a bold move by @bungie.net and not a move that is enjoyable to most people)
I think it’s cute that intense gamers are saying the problem with the new cyberpunk game Marathon is “onboarding for casuals.”
As an enthusiastic “casual” gamer who plays games just as much as elite sweaty gamers, we call this problem “i like cyberpunk but what the fuck is going on in this thing”
That's okay! It truly doesn't bother me that your toddler chucked a toy at me in a public place. These things happen.
What is unpleasant is how, after it happened, you stared into the middle distance, they stared at me like they needed saving, and then they did it again.
Kinda unpleasant!

It’s not that I question the LA Marathon, it’s that I question taking deep breaths outside below the LA smog line.
People don’t just hike here because it’s trendy. It’s because you can look down a hill and see that everyone is bathed in translucent olive air-soup.
Running in that? What?

I’m happy for everyone who can afford a Nintendo Switch 2, but anyone bragging about it in my feed needs to Venmo me $1,000
Looking for generous vampires and/or Magic Ice Crowns for surviving the coming Mushroom War, thx
I gotta say, as this war with Iran ramps up I gotta ask myself: should I have stayed partners with those people who hated my guts, so I could be less bored when the grid goes down?
Before you answer, remember how fun it was to have a second person with a house on your Animal Crossing island??

What’s that? Why yes, I’ve totally forgotten how that comedy celebrity was shitty to me, I would love to hear your unsolicited monologues about how perfect their work is and how I should check them out
I feel the human experience can be summed up this way:
- I have one really bad kidney
- a voluntary kidney donor could add decades to my life
- most people have a spare
- the risk of donor complications is less than 1 in 10,000
- the odds are virtually impossible that someone is willing to donate
If we could just put off armageddon a little bit longer, I have some severe personal trauma I’ve been working on and I’d really like time to feel like a special little victim before reality ends

Tonight I sat with a trans person who wishes to remain anonymous, and we tried to use Gemini to show how HRT would affect facial features.
What resulted was Gemini randomly going in and out of photo generation, lying about it, doing the opposite of what it was prompted… Smarter how? It gaslights?

It’s not that I CAN’T match your freak
It’s that I have gone on a date with more than one person who put “match my freak” in their bio, and then their freak was “sometimes I eat cereal after 11AM”
Hope everyone is enjoying the business news articles written by a web designer’s ChatGPT account telling all of us that AI isn’t taking any jobs
This Miller Lite commercial, lordy. THAT is who you cast as a magical dating wingman? jfc that’s gross
When I die all I ask is that someone marks all my inbox as read
It’s gotten worse and worse for 50 years and articles like this are fantasy. Network was real 50 years ago, we’ve screwed up media so much worse.
People have said Idiocracy* is coming true for 20 years. No. We are 20 years into Idiocracy.
*and Idiocracy’s constant use of slurs has NOT aged well.
