Part of it’s been cultural. I haven’t been back to Japan in a few years, but there’s a reason the PC Gaming floors are often limited to adults...

Japan doesn’t give a shit about the PC, it shows in every single port they do

She’s crying because his stupidity threatened their paychecks.

This may be a very weird thing to say, but I’ve always felt that a lot of big streamers got big simply because they got to the space first, not because they have a particular talent for being an entertainer.

Yeah, but have you tried watching this absolutely nobody YouTuber with like 47 views that says all the things they agree with? I dunno maybe it’ll change your mind. 

I clicked through that video and it’s worth mentioning that despite being a visual novel mostly comprised of dialogue, there’s no character art sprites, only backgrounds and text boxes—and the backgrounds are all A.I. Art. The really gross kind from like 2 years ago that inexplicably makes me want to vomit just…

Yup, masturbatory fantasies that give them the excuse to murder people under the guise of “morals no longer exist, only survival”.

I think this is why zombie/post-apocalypse fiction is so popular. Men just really want to believe they’re so special that they’d be the ones to survive.

I think a lot of dudes like to romanticise harsher times, because they think they’d thrive in such times. They consider everyone else beneath them, therefore their own mediocrity must have been forced upon them by a society that elevates others.

Yep.

Yeah, as soon as I read that I knew that the dev was a grade-A douchebag.

I love how "I like to do my own research" has become such a convenient shorthand for me to instantly dismiss the person saying it as a complete fúcking moron.

I dunno, this seems more like Minesweeper to me?

Santa Water + Attractorb = La Borra

They’re going around saying that the recently deceased Diamond of Diamond and Silk fame died of the vaccine she very publicly refused to take. So apparently the vaccine is so deadly it can kill people that didn’t even get it.

What does she have for proof about Allen’s actions?

Dakota Johnson roasted Armie Hammer, which is ironic because that’s exactly how Hammer would prepare Johnson.

Yeah, the idea that the Fed is “manufacturing a recession” is libertarian horseshit. The Fed has been trying to tamp down inflation WITHOUT triggering a recession, which is a delicate balancing act, and they may very well screw it up. But so far it has worked, and we’ve even gotten some very strong economic indicators…

It’s not inflation it’s price gouging. These companies are boasting record breaking profits, it’s literally just an experiment by the rich to see how much blood they can squeeze and get away with.  

If you’re saying that there’s something less than kosher on the part of corporations, then I agree. I keep bringing it back to the Fed’s role because that was such an odd throwaway line and even odder article that Ethan linked to (at least IMO).
