Wow that new Monster Hunter fight... MMO slop...

beyond parody. perfect encapsulation of American consumerism in place of culture. don't you miss when things were good? at Walmart? remember when you were young and had formative experiences? at Walmart? change is scary. live forever in the past. this is what they took from you.

Me seeing someone I follow but they've changed their profile picture and made one bad post: "who even is this person and why are they on my timeline"

Personal pet peeve is whenever I see people say "the country". Oh Nazi's run the country now? No they fucking don't, they run your country, goofy ass American.

I don't play MARISA, I don't play REISEN, I don't play SANAE, I don't play SAKUYA, I play HOMING REIMU, and if the shot sucks, I DON'T CLEAR THE GAME

About 10 years ago there used to be this type of guy that any time you would bring climate change would go "what about China's coal plants? isn't that doing more damage than anything in the U.S.?" and anyway i'm just thinking about that for some reason

It really is so embarassing the degree that even progressive Americans have internalized the "free healthcare is communism" conservative framing. No actually, I think there's a bit more to it than one policy and an aesthetic. Please actually read some books on the subject.

This thread and all the responses to it really remind me that Americans are a barely literate people. Reading an article about a socialist saying AI and capitalism is bad, and somehow finding a way to think it's supposed to be him saying "capitalism is bad", but like, in a positive way.

Posts about how people who care about disabled people are feds, ten minutes later is ableist in the replies. Really makes you think

It's like John Carmack said that one time, "Combat in a metroidvania is like story in a porn movie, it's expected to be there, but it's not that important".

For those wondering why we’re all upset about Jimmy Kimmel getting cancelled, just imagine if a public figure you cared about got shot in the neck

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT

I don’t know, have we tried not being afraid of defending what we love. Crazy concept in the battle of ideas.

Gonna call this self care, this game is finding ways to annoy and frustrate me even after I beat it

it's pretty bewildering how often they do this lol

All the smug reactions to that NPR article going around really makes one realize that people would rather do the "rantsona crosses arms and says something confidently wrong" thing, than have to deal with a complex problem.

thinking about how metaphor was in development for so long that an early hulkenberg design was used as a dlc character portrait in a late 3ds game

cant help but notice the much larger protests against war with gaza in october 2023 did not get breaking news videos like this inserted into my youtube homepage of silly gaming videos

placating white people about kirk getting popped with a 3h sequel #nooticing

Political violence has had its global center in the United States. Saying it has no place here is just fucking stupid and ahistorical. A lie. It just usually happens to one class around the globe.

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

nintendo claiming billions in lost sales to piracy is baby bitch shit and authors doing the same for things like libgen or the internet archive are just as pathetic to me. get mad at your publisher not paying you enough for the sales you DO make.

How my silksong experience has been going so far

Not gonna lie, what actually is the problem with this? I'm seeing people say copyright infringement (which is based and not bad) I'm also seeing the "this many people saw the article, I'm losing this much in revenue" argument, which is just the same (wrong) thing that music corps said in the 2000s

These days I like to post about things like chess games and books and my garden; things that make me happy. But I really do feel the need to speak on this briefly, because there are these horribly serious accusations and insults that get thrown around every time Homestuck comes up. It's not trivial.

the way this country treats the unhoused and unwell is one of those things that genuinely makes me physically ill. every policy “solution” and every day structural cruelty is a million affronts to humanity. We’d consider this shit war crimes if another country did it to our citizens.

“You’ll never see me caping for a small business” and you go to their profile and the banner image is Final Fantasy XIV

this is a sincere statement of belief. being a vector for the broadcasting of narrowcast information - a journalist, let us say - is a difficult and fraught job among hyper-scrutinized minorities even when done well. doing it ineptly is straightforwardly toxic. quit and sell hole or go to hell.

This is so fucking racist and transmisogynist it’s making my head spin. Have you ever noticed that when certain people plainly state facts they’re qualified to express it’s weaponizing their identity for some reason

Actually disgusting behaviour from @madycast.com Ironic for someone to say they're being targeted like it's gamergate only to specifically direct targetted harassment to a trans employee rather than her cis bosses (who are more responsible). You knew what you were doing

I firmly believe that a conversation about the mistakes itch made in handling this whole situation can be productive if led by affected NSFW creators. rather than by people with a blog and the word 'journalist' in their bios and who have decided now is the time to farm clout from from hack pieces

It is almost on a near daily basis on this site now I see people just saying really fear-mongering, digital panic claims and statements where the person in question has no actual sources or citations backing their claim and it is, frankly, driving me nuts

I am straight up Gell-Mann amnesia minimizing these days. If I see one single thing said confidently but it's totally wrong, then that person or publication is getting completely blocked. Straight up, either speak with truth and clarity or don't speak at all.

Actually blackpilling stuff to see so many people cheering on copyright lawsuits. We ain't ever making it out of this hole

The whole "modern journalists" thing really feels like it's sorta reached 100% cultural osmosis. Not to say it's bad to push back on it, it more so goes to show how reactionary the general gaming space is. It's to the point that I can meet normal progressive people IRL who also parrot that stuff.

Collecting some good memes today

He's completely right and people out here are trying to jump his ass for it. As a wise man once said, "there's nothing worse than someone on your side who confidently says things that are wrong, because that guy is now making your position look bad".

All those people who are pretending to be NB to get away with sexual assault I assume are hiding out in the same place as all those people pretending to be trans to assault people in bathrooms

Much like many "AI" products, this turns out to be another Mechanical Turk situation. AI products primarily serve to make human labour invisible to the end user.

This might be the funniest shit I've ever seen on this website. It looks like the level of quality you would expect to see in an AVGN video from 2007 before he fights and shits on the scarecrow.

We’re three decades past the resounding failure of abstinence only sex education and yet too many so-called progressives still buy into the fundamentally wrong idea that we protect kids by keeping them ignorant through censorship rather than empowering them with information

Seeing pro-crypto arguments on the timeline and feeling immediately vindicated for being so suspicious about how much some so-called "progressive" people on here care about climate change or reducing emissions.

i wish we were not in such a dire moment for freedom of expression online but its nice to see everyone standing up for porn this week. it's art and it's very dumb that we treat it like a corrosive substance

Why are like half the comments here just randomly wishing pain or death on this random dude. You've heard of not judging a book by its cover, now let me one up that with the controversial: "Don't wish death on a person based on a YouTube thumbnail".

Thinking about this as another prominent 2028 candidate discusses the “concerns” and “worries” that come up when transfeminine athletes compete.

Keep calling Visa. It’s working.

mouthwashing wasnt removed due to censorship, but because of a technicality over the page just being a link to steam wth no playable build since 2024 or something. there were entire articles written by real ass journalists saying it was the former
