  And not the first time they’ve tried to slam something and actually made it look great instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sign me up⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it has to be satire, but these days you just never know, do you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this anything?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Gesundheit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of humanity will come about through people's apathy.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is kind of an apathy echo chamber tbh (not just here, other socials too). Out in the real world lots of people are trying very hard to improve things all around the globe. If you’re feeling depressed by perceived apathy I would encourage you to look into organizations working to make a difference. They’re out there and need your help.

  I was pretty ambivalent about the subscription. I don’t like subs in general, but I joined stellaris a little late and the amount of money to get all the DLC is very daunting. I can see how as a new player it would be a good offer.

  That being said rent to own is always going to be how it should be imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellaris updates are slowing down to stop empires randomly destroying themselves, among other bugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof, yeah that performance point is rough.

  Stellaris is such an interesting game to follow. I’ve never seen another game so willing to change major stuff regularly. It’s definitely got its upsides and downsides.

  TLDR: he said she said, they’re going to court

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stellaris updates are slowing down to stop empires randomly destroying themselves, among other bugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw the game got a lot of bad reviews lately. Was 4.0 that bad? I haven’t played for a while.

  Sad to see, but I was feeling it was only a matter of time for a while now. The mods could migrate but hard to replace the mod manager.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's story mode just got a lot easier, so more people can enjoy the year's best J'RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This actually kind of irritates me. I’m one of the people who hasn’t enjoyed the timing window stuff, and set it to easy. It felt just right for me, but now with this patch things feel completely effortless. This should have been a new difficulty, not a change to the existing one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube "search results"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was trying to search for something inside a specific channel the other day. The results were so random that I wasn’t confident I was even seeing all of the videos that had the word I typed in. Doesn’t help that it’s full on chaos sort with no option of any other sorting method. Complete trash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you slam it hard enough you can still do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lethal Company's next monster "does things that make absolutely no sense, just because it can"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really admire the creature design in this game. I don’t think any of the copy cats have ever nailed that as much even if they’ve done other things better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games are just objective master pieces?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it’s Journey. That game gave me an emotional experience I’ve never had in any other.

  But are you an esport?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GeoGuessr Map Makers Make Most Popular Maps Unplayable In Protest Of Saudi-Backed Esports World Cup⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Geoguesser is an esport?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. At my desk but spiritually in bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Papa I'm scared⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’ve improved it a lot, but it loses a little punch with a single sentence in my opinion. I would do:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The publishing world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Covers are actually a very useful tool to judge things by. It’s kind of the whole reason they exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i broke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Life doesn’t happen on your schedule.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe Trump's Presidency Will Make Everything So Awful It Will Facilitate Actual Positive Change Nationwide⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reading these responses is so sad. I can see that a large number of people on here have fully embraced cynicism and active pessimism. This is the most damaging attitude possible when trying to create change. If you have this mindset, you’re not only not helping to make positive change, you’re actively working to drain any energy from those who might be in a better and more productive place than you.

  To the OP, don’t give up hope. There are thousands of people around the country working right now to change things and resist the downfall of our country in whatever ways they can. The number is growing every day with each new outrage and attack, and energy is building quickly. If you can’t donate your time, donate your money to progressive organizations (look up the 50501 project for help finding them).

  Nothing is going to change with blind optimism, but history is on our side, and it shows that when things start to hurt for people in their day to day lives, real change is possible. This is not the first fascist takeover in history, and it won’t be the last. Some older folks have literally lived through similar times in our own country (see: McCarthyism for example). Nothing is inevitable and no one can predict the future, no matter how believable their claims may sound.

  To the cynics, you’re absolutely allowed to feel how you feel. I feel quite cynical myself a lot of the time, too. Just remember that when you mock and shout down people trying to move forward, you help create the future you’re so resigned to. Not all of us are so ready to roll over and take it. If you won’t help, please at least get out of the way.

  Thanks for saying it. People on here really seem to think this is the first fascist regime in history.

  I’m surprised magas care so much about the pope considering they don’t follow any christian morals or tenets.

  They’ve gotten a lot of heat for that over the years. I can’t believe it’s even legal honestly.
