This isn’t a free speech thing. If the fanatics on the right cared about free speech they would do the work of parsing out what types of speech are fallacious and not factual.

I am not seeing nearly enough criticism of time magazine.

Scale does not increase silliness. I’m not sticking up for what seems like a real dose of fan service. I will say though that the drive toward hegemony is held off by fromsoftware, kojima, suda51 and various indie devs.

Im fully aware of the laws around financial manipulation... You see I am a Canadian.

I will likely only get Elden ring full price.

This isn’t just happening in video games. Our retail pricing for consumer products is almost entirely manipulated.

I understood it alright I think. To be fair I was almost a critic before we all decided anything with a budget was valuable.(looking at you Disney)

If we never actualize which symbols and themes in our sexuality are being used in media and art then we allow those ideas to be exploited.

This is a beef with critical analysis, not culture. Plenty of people going off about these trees likely share a valid concern with myself.

There has been plenty of non world war combat. COD games never introduce you to very many characters so it wouldn’t be hard to tell a small scale story.

Man, as the only person to engage, in a thread that got some real traction, instead of joining a bandwagon/dogpile; first let me thank you. I know you stuck your neck out just be being a reasonable and polite person. That was brave as well as the polite it should have been.

i loved mod nation racers

“Is it bad that i like Fortnite’s version of among us better?”

Whats worse is they arent even building. I fully assumed the “tasks” would fortnite building related you know because that system exists in their game.

Woah there sir white knight please deign to dither a moment on your crusade!

I think Im angrier that its just WW2 again.... i mean socially we are all getting over the glamorization of what is in hindsight an extremely fraught period of history.

dude was honest and you were combative. Responding does not mean contributing.

I agree, but you shoulda been more polite about it.

I was told as a child not to trust anything online (because e-kidnapping was an extant fear) I would be required as an adult to post lies about myself online to make sure i could get a job.

Thats a good way to look at things but it was kind of my point. If facebook is social media but myspace wasnt, why not just say facebook? Theyre all owned by facebook and work like facebook.
