I once rented an apartment with a shower and toilet behind a door in the bedroom. The sink was mysteriously across the bedroom, as if the builders found out you needed a sink for the bathroom 90% of the way through the building process and just slapped one in. Absolutely bizarre.

Yours sounds much better lol

Use their tactics. Is it immoral to lie to an idiot to get them to vote in their own interests? They’re already buying all kinds of bullshit like flat earth, anti vac, and trickle down economics; infiltrate their circles and cause confusion in the narrative. Break into their walled communities and drive division within their ranks.

Rom hacks can be so good, but why can’t we move past hm’s??

From what I’ve heard a lot of the same og programmers and animators from the game boy days are still in charge of making the games and they don’t want a large team. They also don’t want to have to work really hard or learn new skills, so basically all the work falls to inexperienced people being led by people with incredibly dated skills. Nintendo still rakes in tons of money so they don’t see the need to interject.

It’s all made up horse shit to draw lines between us. People don’t neatly fit into a line or graph and it’s really lame people keep repeating this crap.

IMO this is the best option. Choose activities you’d like to do and you’ll meet women with similar interests and it’s way easier to connect.

Agreed, we’ve spent so long waiting it’s all we’re conditioned to do. We believed our elected officials would do what’s in the country’s interest but here we are.

We as a nation need to bury both political parties and get this train back on the tracks because while Dems are far better than maga they’re still corpo bootlickers.

With the tools available now, a smaller team can make projects that compete with much larger studios, mostly because they don’t have a hand tied behind their backs from having to paywall or monetize things. Currently playing Motortown: Behind the wheel, it’s literally a single dev making it and it’s just an all around great experience. He implements what he and the players want without extra fluff or cash grabs and players are spreading the word around about our love for this game so he doesn’t need marketing.

I don’t think big budget AAA games will change much going forward, the businessmen always think they know best and they’ll continue to make games worse if they believe it’ll increase profit. An indie game will just never produce fortnight or GTA money, so they’ll continue to want games that can replicate that model.

So the purge, but what we’d all actually do?

It’s the same in every industry. Rich shit bags move in and buy successful entities but have no idea how to run them. They slowly get shittier, so good employees move on and do their own thing.

There’s still amazing games being made, there’s just a lot more shit games you have to sift though. Follow great game devs, not who they work for.

Welcome to the age of the smartphone, where we’re more informed while being more misinformed and where we’re all connected but can’t actually connect. We’ve hit the point where people can watch something, stare the truth in the eye and say “that’s a lie” or be told an obvious lie that could be disproved in less than a minute and say “that’s so true.”

There’s no easy way out of the hole now either. If the government stepped in, the people spreading lies would simply lie and say the government was misleading people and people would gobble it up, and there’s no way I’d trust anything privately owned to tell me the truth.

Yup, that’s how operate. I went to help a colleague with some stuff and dude had so many tabs and windows open it took him more time to find the tab he wanted me to see than it wouldn’t taken me to search for it. Annoying

Yeah, not that I used to eat fast food a lot but with prices as high as they’ve gotten I just can’t justify it. It’s garbage food that’s more expensive than sit-down options. Everyone has a phone, so with 10 minutes of pre planning you can order from anywhere and not have to sit there and wait which makes McDonald’s lose ground in convenience too.

Pricing is about the only place McDonald’s could win, but they’re too greedy and we all know it.

Too many centrist neo liberals. Democrats and Republicans are pro corporation and billionaire, us working schmucks need to find a way to get a party working for us.

You’re forgetting the poor uneducated rural voters who will directly suffer by their own hands, yet again.

Can anyone remind me why we give the dumbest and least productive of us the most representation and govt handouts?

I think you misunderstood. I mean the repercussions for courts finding the execs guilty of his accusations is a slap on the wrist vs charges for murder.

Yup, what would the executives actually lose if they were found guilty in the court case? They’d need to find new jobs, but would give themselves fat severance packages.

Corporations suck ass, but this is nonsense.

At this point nearly any device with a screen can emulate SNES games and the consoles that came before it. I have a cheap Chinese retro game handheld from Ali Express and it’s honestly so refreshing to play games that aren’t begging me to spend extra money.

Also, playing fan translations of games that weren’t released in the west like mother 3 and dragon quest monsters is so cool. 10 year old me would be so jealous.

Haven’t been on one in years, but women would put “guys over x height only” in their dating app profiles. I saw it as an advertisement that those particular women were very insecure and should probably be avoided, but it was a significant number of them nonetheless.

This is the part a lot of US liberals are missing. Those red states are shit holes now. Look bombed out and war torn because industry left and took the money with them, and they were thriving 40 years ago.

A wiser human than me could probably find a way to incentivise companies moving headquarters out of high cost of living areas to more rural areas where rent isn’t half your paycheck.
