That’s some weak sauce Sky News. And they know it.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 weeks ago:
I discovered Prey (2017) a few years back. It is so my shit.
It’s probably the worst named game of all time. It’s essentially a sequel to System Shock 2 and Bioshock. Should have been called Xenoshock or something because it’s generic name is nothing like the really original game underneath.
You are fully in the driver’s seat, with a crazy amount of freedom in how you want to get from one section of the space station to the next.
The opening scene, once I discovered the reality behind the scenes, I was hooked.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 weeks ago:
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.
We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.
- Comment on I worked at an escort agency. This is how it changed my attitude to sex 3 weeks ago:
It’s fascinating that sex work is still illegal on so much of the world.

It’s about time we ended ‘for profit’ childcare. It’s obvious to everyone that it’s nothing but a fucking rort.

Trying pivoting, you might see a solution.
- Comment on I want these walls back 3 weeks ago:
I lived in a flat in London where the only window was filled with these glass bricks. I think I would have preferred a window.

“Some argue the constitution gives only Congress the sole authority to declare war.” Might the most damning indictment of the US’s current political situation yet.

Guarantee I could ask every person on this train and I’d be lucky to find one person who knew who he was. Trash poll.

- Comment on Here's where things went right for Labor, and very wrong for the Coalition 2 months ago:
It will be interesting to what sort of party emerges from the rubble. On surface it looks like an out and out rejection of culture war politics. They have no path to victory without winning the cities and they no longer have any representation within those cities. Puts them in a bad place.

This was a news article from 2015. Since then nearly every year has set a record for being the warmest ever recorded.
We’ve had a decade of pumping more money into the money machine while our ecology falls apart around us.

the deaths appear to be more the result of the vehicle fire, as opposed to drugs, or injuries the victims sustained in the crash. And troublingly, that testimony also showed the Cybertruck’s doors could not be opened in the aftermath of the crash, preventing Riordan from pulling the other three victims from the flaming wreckage.

A place near me does this. It’s the worst. The spaghetti is chewy because it’s dehydrated from being grilled.
