“While it’s true that we all live in a capitalist hellscape, labor-added value is usually supposed to add value for… you know, the consumer.”

Yeah, “despite” is not the best word choice. “Because” would be more apt.

This could be a reasonable alternative if they put PS5 games on PS Now and made them available to PS4 users. You know, pretty much exactly what Xbox Cloud Gaming did for Xbox One users. But I rather doubt they’d even consider that option.

False equivalency.

copyright isn’t real and if you snitch on this I hope someone hits you with a sock filled with nickels.

Twitch is a trip.

That’s really gross and plays right in to the conservative ‘death panel' argument about healthcare for all.

Yes. I would like that too. But if hospitals start to qualify who gets treated - even more than they routinely do - then they’ll start denying treatment to all sorts of people. You have lung cancer? You shouldn’t have smoked. Or worked in the coal mines. You have heart failure? You should have lost weight. You have a…

Sorry, what?

they literally talk about the censorship in the video! like i said, it’s a balanced take on the situation, so hey, your choice to ignore it.

Nobody is paying you or I for what we say here, but one country houses its people and froze regulations on thousands of gutter quality exploitative gacha games that are poisoning the rest of the game industry. Just here to add context.

based on what i know, the pengshuai thing is a shitty situation. is there actually some evidence that china made her disappear though? i…

how is it unrelated? i initially replied to someone who compared chinese video game restrictions to the cultural revolution, so i feel like it was pretty relevant

it’s a thing that happens all the time with discussions of dprk. you get people who believe that kim jong un killed his family members with the bee laser from malcolm in the middle, and it’s like... it is honestly a waste of time at that point. like, china has no free speech? china has fake elections?? usa, the…

Never buy a gaming chair. They are all garbage.

based on your previous article about this, it looks like the government tends to be conflicted on the subject of video games. like, even the article that calls video games ‘spiritual opium’ was removed right away? that doesn’t seem to indicate that they’re hardline committed to destroying gamers or whatever, right?…

Say no more. Right-click away. Sorry it took me a little bit to make it. 

my guess is they’ll go outside and play, go to malls/concerts/etc/etc/etc. they actually will have way more things to do than usa children without risking covid, since the numbers in china are absolutely miniscule by comparison (of course the western media is pretending it’s pure pandemonium in china right now, big…
