Tetris kind of has a long running title on this topic.

I dont even like tetris that much, but it has captured the attention of generation after generation.

It's probably one of the only games you could open in almost any setting and have people wanting to play it.

Is this something you spend a lot of time thinking about?

Lmao

Nah, their earlier games had spirit. Oblivion is still one of my favorite open world fantasy games to date.

Starfield is just a soulless recycled scrap for money and hype.

Starfield killed all my hype for Bethesda's future releases. Every step forward comes with a dozen steps back.

How long ago did Starfield come out, like 6+ months ago? And they've basically added an eat button back from previous games on the same engine, then left it to rot.

I can't believe they are already trying to market ES6 and DLC for Starfield without even fixing that trash game first.

My precious dog, who doesn't have much time left, and I spend my days dreading losing.

She's been with me since I nearly killed myself in college, pulled me out of depression, through graduation, the first date with my wife, our wedding, covid where I feuded with my family for 2 years and had almost nobody, and a move across the country.

We've got 3-6 months left together, and I don't know who I will be with her gone.

We do not deserve dogs.

You're not interested in the topic, you mean. You just want somebody to pitch a softball so you can swing, but were scared of the speed on that fast ball.

This statement is an immediate bannable offense in many places, but the 2nd amendment allows for firearm ownership. Many states have stand your ground or home defense laws supporting lethal home defense. In America, our founding is justified by the need for violent resistance against tyrannical governments.

I know these aren't directly contradictory things, but it feels like doublespeak, the way the topics are viewed.

Defending violence from the bland corporate talking points of non-violent resistance.

People will say the dumbest "violence is never the answer" and then get upset when you point out they clearly don't believe that.

Got banned for "report abuse" because I reported a pro genocidal comment on r/worldnews.

They banned me from the sub then successfully petitioned Reddit to ban the entire account.

If I can't even report the genocidal content on one of their largest subreddits without losing my account, I'm not going to fit in enough to stay.

No response removed my comment lmao.

Yes I literally asked about this.

The flood of Putin worshipers trying to sell the idea that everybody except for Russia are white supremacists who have to be killed by Russia is pretty obnoxious.

They don't even write to the topics they are responding on, they just leave 5 page copy paste essays on the CIA, a group that isn't elected or representative of the American people in any way.

I tangled with them in one of their subs and they scrubbed all my questions about what part of executing Navalny secretly in prison was justice.

They say he said bad words so secret state killing was justified but also there is no proof it was a secret killing as Russia is perfect.

It's exhausting to have to share space with these people.

If dating apps did what they advertised, they would eliminate their customer base.

The objective of the application is to keep you engaged in what they are selling. They want you dating, but not in a long relationship.

They don't have a lot of control on how it happens after you meet, so most of their influence will be in who they present to you and how they gamify interacting.

Solutions are going to come down to real world social skills and overcoming the boundaries of online connections.
