  Because to companies, labor is just a business expense, you're a cost to be kept low so they can please investors/shareholders. Our system isn't for your average worker, it's for the people who own the businesses.

  Final Fantasy VII. I was never able to beat the sephiroth boss fight. I enjoyed the story, but I don't feel the need to play it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Ace Attorney Chronicles. It's two ace attorney games bundled, and I'm playing it on switch. You play as a defense attorney and try to solve crimes and defend your client, and the cases are top notch.

  More focus on the ability to maintain, repair, and perhaps even upgrade existing tech. So often people are pushed to upgrade constantly, and devices aren't really built to last anymore. For example, those yearly trade in upgrade plans that cell phone providers do. It sucks knowing that, once the battery in my cell phone finally dies, the whole phone is essentially garbage and has to be replaced. I miss my older smartphones that still had replaceable batteries, because at least then it's just the battery that's garbage.
  We're throwing so much of our very limited amount of resources right into landfills because of planned obsolescence.

  I just use it as a place to vent my thoughts, feelings, or frustrations in the moment. I think of it as "screaming into the void" and over time you collect a small circle of people you regularly interact with. Don't think about it too deeply because it's not deep

  The game has it's issues, don't get me wrong. You need to build the teleporter for the main quest, which does require some materials, but so long as you're picking stuff up as you're looting, you'll often just have what you need.

  I don't know that there's a mod, but the building really can be mostly ignored outside of a small handful of quests. It's mostly optional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War is coming to GOG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is, but most of their library is DRM free, so once you download it, those files are yours. Steam won't let you launch a game without logging into your account, gog doesn't even check.

  I'm not going to argue the ethics of piracy, because the point is that a lot of people will do it if they otherwise cannot afford to buy games. Also, some games just never really go down in price, especially if you're talking nintendo. To this day Breath of the Wild is still $60 if bought new or digitally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem that they're not considering is that if they raise the prices, more people are going to be priced out of buying the games, and will resort to piracy. The cost of living is absurd right now, and I can only afford a handful of $60 games a year.
