You love both the games and still managed to like the show? An anomaly. The games are written incredibly. Acted incredibly. With an incredible and complex story.

The show takes that and adds a heaping handful of “but what if we forget about the story part and made everyone idiotic and unbearable?”

Well you’re describing the game. The show entirely missed the part where they’re writing any kind of quality “human” story.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

At least tidal pays the artists more

Yeah the problem is with all the deregulation on generational wealth and workarounds for rich people to stockpile and keep their money, the offspring of the ruling class will be the same kind of assholes. Look at Sam Altman, he’s not old. Look at mark whateverthefuck. He’s not old. Now, those people didn’t exactly inherent their money, but you can’t tell me these guys won’t be around for the next 40 years fucking shit up. And their kids? And the kids of all the Murdochs, the bush kids, the Koch offspring…there are a lot of shitty families able to reproduce and spread their sickness. This isn’t going to wind down and give us a fresh start. These rich people will be protected by an increasingly violent state and they will all burn it down before they let it change. They’re not weakening over time. They’re amassing even more wealth and the regulations and ideas around capitalism are only getting more virulent and violent. We aren’t about to ride off into the sunset on the backs of a new generation. They are going to be focusing on surviving, more than we ever were.

Sunken costs?

Well, to be fair, it’s not utilizing Microsoft as a mascot, but the era of buying and owning and keeping, as opposed to the current era of renting forever.

Back then, you bought a computer and it came with the programs you needed and they were yours until you got rid of the computer. Then they were the property of whomever got the computer next.

That’s what people are calling for. Which is depressing in and of itself because it’s so little to ask for. They’re the hand that’s starving and robbing us. We shouldn’t be asking for them to stop robbing us, we should be taking the hand and using it to distribute to all who need.

Huh. I’ve been hearing a lot about the play. Maybe I need to make a lil Redbox visit

Was the first season of TLOU amazing? I don’t think it was.

I’m saying it’s literally a free VPN. But they’re q company. If they’re offering you free shit, you’re the product.

Yeah, OP. Ten million posts a month isn’t good enough for you?!?

How the fuck else do you think a for profit company is offering free tech?

Started taking my meds

I think the main theme from the second is better. Really reminds me of Feel Good Lost by BSS. I mean, he song, but that whole album is very much a similar vibe and I think you should check it out if you havent

Hustle culture is a, as I believe he kids are saying these days, “not a vibe.”

Drugs

I got another crisp fiver

I have a periscopic girlfriend. She sticks her little eyeball up the to the surface so I can stay under the water cruising along and fire nukes and kill the Russians and Germans

lol we don’t have oversight on our cops (I mean, technically we do. The FBI and internal affairs are supposed to be a counterbalance to cops’ power, but that is absolutely not how it works in reality). And I’d be willing to bet at least 60% of the license plates in this video belonged to cops. It’s wild. In nyc, walk but any precinct and all the personal cars you see are very likely to have some fuckery like this with their plates.

The move, especially in this city, to speed cameras and red light cams etc has allowed the cops to not have to pay attention. They get paid more than ever to do way less work. They’re sent to stand on subway platforms on their phones and hide by turnstiles trying to catch people jumping them and skipping the $2.90 fare.

I think as a German you’d be disgusted the way things actually work here

Right? RDR2, TLOU 1 & 2…there are others that are slipping my ind now but a well told story is a well told story. These people all saying they never cry over stories in games are disturbing if you ask me lol
