Just accept that it's wiggy at first. You're being dragged along on a very high level heist with experienced professionals in their field, and your primary pov is a drug-addled hacker who struggles to differentiate meatspace from cyberspace. They're not going to stop and explain anything, but you'll understand the vibes.
If you're still hot for it afterwards, give it another read. A lot more makes sense once you have an understanding of the bigger picture.
I'd like to see them fuckin try. The Republicans keep calling these liberal cities warzones, I know Chicago and New York would be happy to bare their teeth and show just how accurate that moniker can sometimes be.
I'm not really sure when it happened, but I'd say people were generally pretty successful at destroying the old social norms. There's a lot of terrible slurs that are no longer socially acceptable to say today, there was a lot of power that white men had in conversations that was stripped from them, it was good to get rid of.
The problem is that we didn't really replace it with anything. There was no great basic decency movement, nothing new about treating people with respect. If anything, it seems like we've embraced being more toxic than ever, and have decided to invent new ways to insult and belittle each other.
They're not in the hurry you seem to think they are. They've been exterminating the Palestinians for decades. Israel will tighten the noose, shrink their available land even further with illegal settlements, rest and re-arm their army, until another attack comes.
Guess international pressure has gotten loud enough that Bibi's finally decided it's time to reload. Guess the new settlements are a-go now that it's "deserted land."
I hate how this is the one man talking sense, and the DNC reviles him for it.
I think Dragon's Dogma 2 is great for newcomers to the series, but I can understand if a fan of the original was disappointed that it's basically just the first game again.
which should fundamentally terrify anyone with a basic understanding of history.
Once the rule of law collapses, the empire is soon to follow.
I keep an hourglass. It's a good way to try and spend a particular amount of time on a task.
No, but I was born here against my will, so now I either have to prepare to fight fascism or find an exit before the powderkeg gets lit.
Your reply was literally "what about this person" and you're disappointed that you're accused of whataboutism?
None of that's new though. The U.S. elections have been purely vibe-based for a few decades now. The policy platforms of a given candidate stopped mattering as soon as the electorate forgot how to read.
remember, as a man on the internet you're not allowed to have opinions on something, even if they're formed by your own experiences and you clarify them as such. your opinions exist to be mocked and ridiculed for sport.
oh, but it's also a real mystery why far right incel groups have seen a massive upsurge in membership, no way to logically connect the two.
It's wild how everyone loves to wax poetic about a mythical auteur developer that breaks from the industry mold to make something unique, but every time that actually happens a massive group of people comes out and says it needs to be like everything else. Pathologic 2 is another example that comes to mind.
It's gonna be very hard for videogames to ever take themselves seriously as an artistic medium if the majority of purchasers prefer committee-designed slop.
Some people see videogames as a legitimate art medium that generates experiences. Not all experiences have to be fun. Some can be scary, somber, or introspective.
It would suck for the rubes who can be fooled into taking poison, but it would be kinda based if RFK just legalized everything. Reality might turn to shit, but at least we can get high however we want!
I'm already the femboy twink bf with boysmell and mini-skirt, the world couldn't handle me if I could also gothgirlkiss a hot goth gf.
This is gonna blow your mind, but the staffing issue has very little to do with populations available, and significantly more to do with funding. I'm aware of the shitshow elderly care has already become in the United States, but people work dogshit jobs all the time. The problem is that CNA pay and benefits are ass, and the reason is because elderly care is often subsidized by the federal government, and the feds can only pay so much.
