It scares the shit out of me. Until mass adoption of the Internet started showing me behind the curtain, America seemed good. Like it felt like the capital city of the world.
I know thats purely because they had Hollywood and exported culture, and like people on social media they only show the good parts, but still. Seeing what it is now either means it was never really good, or the good times are now over. Either way its taken a massive toll on my overall optimism levels.

why aren’t normies speaking up
They dont care. Speaking as a normie-convert, so long as it works right now idgaf. When it doesn’t work tomorrow I’ll cry about it then and demand to speak to the manager, but right now? Summer will last forever.

You need to get cod because everybody has cod. Its cod. You ever told a colleague/schoolfriend/acquaintance/anyone that you like video games? Their next question is “what prestige cod are you”. Cod is love. Cod is life. Cod is the game. You’re not a loser are you?

On the one hand yeah sure, but on the other hand in the USA youre an accomplice if you didnt vote or if you wasted your vote on a 3rd party.
Vote for baddy, your fault. Vote for less baddy, youre propping up the system. Vote for good guy, you wasted your chance to vote against baddy. Dont vote, you wasted your chance yo vote against baddy.
Everyone gets the boot on the neck, everyone gets the blame, there are no winners

No advice for you OP, I just try and ride it out. I try breathing as erratic as I can to get my wife to wake me but it never works.
I do have a question though : did you see the witch? Ive had all sorts of half-dreams but never met her yet, I’m kinda scared cause she appears in so many people’s accounts of sleep paralysis.

- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 5 days ago:
To be honest, once that starts happening I wont be worried about my digital library. I’ll be so pissed that ill just stop spending any money on any games ever again. I’ll be back to sailing the high seas.

I tried making that point on reddit. You wouldn’t believe the amount of down arrows that came at me.
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 5 days ago:
I keep trying Myst. First tried it when I was about 5 on my dad’s PC, some 30 years ago. Every few years I’ll give it another shot, spend a couple of hours before giving up. I like to think I’m good at puzzle games, and Myst has such legendary status that I refuse to look at a single hint. I will solve it off my own back. Its like a mini white whale.
My problem is I havent managed to solve a single puzzle yet. I cant even be sure ive identified where the first puzzle is.

Inscryption. I thought it was a poor man’s Slay The Spire using janky escape-room mechanics as a cheap, nifty gimmick to lend it some value.
It appeared on Game Pass, and upon trying it I sneered a little at it, as Spire and Monster Train were my only experiences with deckbuilders and I had been spoiled. I had no idea how good it really was. Gameplay mechanics it can’t match up, but it contains a story thats shot straight into my top 10 of all time.
It shares an exclusive room in my memory alongside Bioshock, Deus Ex, KOTOR and the like.
Unfortunately it can’t take me by surprise twice. The shock, suspense and mystery have been depleted and I cant feel it again. Ive been told the dev has more games that are all gold like that, but I cant look them up. I went into Doki Doki knowing that something happens and youll just have to find out and its spoilers and iykyk etc, and when it did it it just felt kinda neat but thoroughly underwhelming. I just need to hope that I stumble onto one of the devs other projects like a beautiful landmine in the future.
