I’ve been appreciating videos like that, and also Pretzel have similar videos highlighting interesting/fun spots in video games, although he’s more chill about it.

Nice to be reminded how much effort is put into these worlds and not to just glaze over them.

I will say one thing that was better in the ‘90s and it’s a small, pointless thing. Is that the gaming industry and specifically the more complex 3D games kinda’ grew up with you so as you got the latest console the complexity of the games increased and all of those old 3D games had actual tutorials for stuff like operating a 3D camera, aiming (Zelda, cough cough), using both hands complexly, context-sensitive inputs and combos, etc. A lot of modern games just expect you to already be proficient in these skills and their ‘solution’ for beginners wanting to play is to force the player to play on the easier modes but still with no actual instruction. In the retro space I’ve heard of gamer parents starting their kids out on NES/SNES as kids and slowly introducing newer gens via emulation/actual hardware/retro collections, but that seems like more of a hassle for an issue the industry presumably would want solved.

This?

For Switch 1, it’s really good for VNs, shmups, J/RPGs, 2D retro/indie games. I’m playing the Famicom Detective Club games right now and really enjoying them.

My hand reflexively drew to my holstered stapler.

Do not pay for Nintendo Online.

I looked it up and I kept seeing “most cans have plastic linings” but I couldn’t find anything stating what things didn’t so I’m gunna’ assume it’s all of them and maybe it’s just like canned meat or some niche items or something that doesn’t have the plastic lining.

I thought that was just coca-cola (and probably other colas) due to the acidity?

Are anybof these people actually alone-alone? 'cause the other ChatGPT freak-outs seem to be from married dudes, doctors, well-off shit tech heads, etc… Is this happening to the poorest parts of the country and like most reporting they just don’t hear nor care about it? Or is this a bourgeois thing? I get people being lonely but it seems like these people are mostly only lonely in the sense that the other people close to them aren’t their slaves.

Some dipshit will try to turn our communist third space into a co-op micro-brewery.

Yeah, this is it. People want to think it’s all NEETs watching him, but it’s not. I know mosty-normie dipshits who reference him.

People are fucking stupid and value apparent sincerity over truth and confidence over facts. They think he’s “being real with them” and “not part of the mainstream” because of how he presents his putrid ideas. You see this a lot on YouTube, these sloptuber dipshits (MoistCritikal,etc.) that just say what’s on their mind and are regarded as truth tellers because they’re not “biased” or burdened by any actual knowledge in anything. It’s pathetic.

Which one do they go to San Fransisco? Can’t be Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home since their home is in space.

Yes. My large trans wife is constantly walking in front of the TV and blocking my view while I’m trying to game and it’s pissing me off.

If you’re not supporting a genocide in your 20s you have no heart.
If you’re not saying you were always against it in your 40s you have no brain

How many Switch 2s have we freed the world from you think?

A warning to all the Switch2 buyers here.

Nobody tell my wife this.

Producing art is labor

That doesn’t really mean anything. Marxism is about social labour, not just work. It’s more important that people are able to survive and do art outside capitalist production than it is to try to make art profitable for workers in capitalism. All you’re doing is creating/sustaining labour aristocrats and petite-bourgeois sentiments in society. Especially when we’re talking about fucking explicitly-pulp smut literature here, which is definitely not something we need or want the state to be funding.

Notice Cuba, DPRK, etc. aren’t funding that.
