For some reason “and Bill Clint claims to have fixed these streets” feels like the source of your line. I’m not doubting it’s originality, if you were writing 30 years ago you could’ve been a rapper.

This makes me happy, not giddy, not excited, but there’s something waiting for me that’s absolutely incomprehensible.

Twenty years ago it would’ve kept me up at night and made me cry silently into my pillow.

Many years ago I noticed I’d get those thoughts when I stayed up too late into the morning wasting my time away, and I would panic and spiral, but when I woke up I’d barely have memory of those thoughts.

Now when I stay up to late and I get those thoughts I know it’s time to go to bed, I just accept that they come, and I know that they’ll be there, they just don’t bother me. Very much like my eventual demise.

If they’re intrusive you probably haven’t had enough time to contemplate them. Live with them a while and you’ll find them to be another part of existence, and they’ll make you appreciate your existence, no matter how temporary, even more.

And don’t ever believe anyone who says they know what happen to them/you the moments following your demise, they only hope to make your time with this existence benefit themselves.

I can’t wait to get home and not have the energy or time to play the games I love.

I wonder if they didn’t block the bot that approves content…

Haha, moderator approval on Reddit.

You don’t have to be the most private, just don’t draw the most attention…

Big data is an unfortunate cost of society.

So is ps4? So is game cube.

It isn’t new and shiny, it isn’t pandemic time.

10 iq for a months rent? … How many have already taken that offer?

Bummer, redeemed the key but I’ve still yet to play rocket League, I could use a couple hundred…

I mean… Welcome to 4x! There’s so very much out there. Have you really played no sid Meier’s civilization? That’s just a half step up on the empire building complexity (and a quarter step down on combat, which you don’t have much interest in if I understand correctly.) there are a number of other civilization inspired games that are coming out right now, as well as some older ones that have a different spin on the civ framework (I don’t have a list in front of me). Galactic civilization 3 is another half step deeper into the empire building genre, Stellaris and sins of a solar empire are also rubbing elbows with greatness of space 4x (sins is a very slow rts which might be intriguing to you). Back on earth we go for the much more involved 4x, crusader Kings, Victoria, and Europa universallis, those are entries that will make creative assembly, and their total war series, look like children playing with blocks and a peg board.

They say while very carefully hiding the important details contained on that card.

Dude, if you think I’ve played Pokemon since red/blue, or I’m fanboying here, I’m glad to be part of your strawman because it’s delusional.

I mean…

I’m glad there are so many Pokemon, and that Pokemon were not unique enough for the most part to be trademarked, but if you think they didn’t lift very heavily from a single source you’re fooling yourself and making flippant accusations of your straw-manned opposition.

Also I’m questioning if it was actually “way better” or just edgier for the memes that games would latch onto and vehemently defend. It seems to have been very successful in the latter even if it wasn’t their intent.

I’m sorry, you don’t see phobias in the right wing?

It’s proven right wing individuals have more active fear trigger regions of the brain.

Building a wall and shutting down the border, letting people die of dehydration in the desert, are policies from the left wing?

What about a steam deck?

I do believe there’s a happy medium between out-casting and electing, probably even a large amount of medium space.

But that’s not what you get in a first past the post system.

Or you need to identify those who aren’t behaving properly (sickness or other resource intense disability) and should be outcast from the group (something we don’t need to do today, but the right wing narrative insists that need to do)

David, stop worrying so much David.

Here I was (before reading the bottom line), thinking this was a comic about Elon musk trying to radicalize the next generation…

I would argue elden ring (haven’t played, not my style but heard many good things about it) and bg3 are not AAA studios, they don’t release high budget games frequently, they focus on one genre, and don’t have much (especially large budget titles) outside of that area of focus.

That list is also staggeringly small compared to The list it’s derived from, and I would say whatever list includes those games has a much larger “awful titles” section to go along with it. If anything I would say the games you listed (that are from multi title developers) are the exceptions that proves the “don’t buy AAA titles” rule.

Stop

Buying

AAA

Games

Stop

And don’t confuse high budget indie studios with AAA game developers
