When I buy a game, I want a game.

Not yet another platform to bleed my wallet dry.

“herp derp AI will never turn on us, we can just unplug them lol”

I mean, I’d agree with you, but the humans that actually aren’t a threat to the planet, that lived in homeostasis with the Earth, barely exist anymore, the humans with flags saw to that.

For the record yes, the developed world’s quality of life should be much, much, much, lower, and the very concept of economic growth/metastasis should be a widely accepted slur at this point, as it’s killing us.

Part of not being a threat to Earth is also not building and maintaining, let alone growing a massive military industrial complex, which means being destroyed by humans that want your shit and don’t care about the future doing it, so it’s a paradox.

Weird line considering what we’re willing to do to nation states to keep their citizens from cooperating socially rather than competing against one another to keep their resource extraction rights open to our capitalists for maximum exploitation.

The planet does.

Fewer humans is always a win for the planet long term, the only entity we are basically united as a species in generational war against. The only entity we by actions hate more than ourselves and each other. We’re the worst biological catastrophe to evolve since the trees of the Carboniferous period that captured too much carbon before the bacteria that could decompose them had evolved, but unlike those trees that lacked agency, we do the vodoo that we do by choice.

I dislike my species a little more each day, based on our actions of said day. It’s quite cathartic in the face of such madness to remember that our mother will win that war she didn’t instigate against her ungrateful little brat mistake of evolution, and she will recover from that mistake in no time to the Earth, just a couple million years in its 3.8 billion year history of almost entirely homeostatic life. It will be as if all the world’s religions and cultures of manipulative avarice never existed at all.

Thats a happy ending. The world will have peace once more. Anyway, how bout this October heat?

If you did, you’d almost certainly have been taught some bullshit revisionist fiction showing friendly US officials probably eating with the Lingít people and teaching them how to do what the Lingít excelled at.

Honestly given the indignity, it’s probably better they aren’t mentioned in our K-12 “history”

Pew pew Murica Pew Pew.

This is who we are, and the world should judge us accordingly for our unrepentant murderous barbarism thinly masked as “freedumb.”

Don’t worry my fellow Americans, our only practiced cultural value, greed, won’t be injured by the latest mass shooting, it makes private gun manufacturer stocks go up, which is of course the meaning of existence.

Ah thank you for the clarification! Sorry socials can be hostile places didn’t mean to take that the most hostile way.

You make it sound as if I’m the one that brought Starfield up out of nowhere in relation to Skyrim/TE6.

Why sadly?

They get clicks, their viewers get off, everyone wins.

I always find it peculiar and proof of self-hatred that humans are so averse and judgemental about reveling in our sexuality.

It’s a major part of who we all are, whether we choose to deny that or not. Cultures and world religions always run by monied interests would prefer we spend our time miserable collecting more for their dragon hoard piles as they live in hyper-decadent debauchery, and most of us have been too fucked in the head with sexual and “don’t be laaaazy” shame to be fixable, but humanity would have been so much happier if we spent less time sacrificing ourselves to the God of economic metastasis and more time fucking, especially in an age of birth control.

We might not even have put ourselves on the express lane to self-extinction we’re currently careening down in search of more treasure for the masters.

There would be no more Iran if they did it to Israel.

I know I’m in the minority, but I fucking love Starfield.

It’s a galactic scale zen garden when I need peace.

It’s a shooter/space combat sim when I choose violence.

There’s things that aren’t good about it, it needs so many more factions, followers, and NPC interaction points to fill the fish bowl that’s there, but there’s so much to love too, IMHO.

In a time where MOST major studio games have turned to no effort live service dogshit, I think hating on flawed but grand games like Starfield as just more unsalvagable garbage is just an invitation to studios to keep churning out actual garbage like Suicide Squad since there’s no pleasing modern gamers so don’t bother trying, just lean entirely on an IPs nostalgia.

Much like Facebook, if you participate in LinkedIn, I question your judgement.

OK, fess up… Who used magic to bring him to life?

Developing World: You stole our water and supported the installation of brutal but market friendly leadership that’s friendly to exploiting our resources and people for foreign profit! We’re desperate and dying!

Market Capitalist World: glug glug glug sorry, we couldn’t hear you over all this thirst quenching!

I don’t want Trump to be assassinated.

I want him to die of a heart attack on the toilet or in prison, though I doubt the second one is possible because rich asshole.

Assassinations make martyrs. I want his base to get tired of worshipping a feeble old man and move on.

What I DON’T want is him being elevated as the Republican mascot on t-shirts and signs as the defacto symbol of their idiocy for the rest of MY life. When this cycle is over, I really don’t want to have to see his orange clown asshole face again, let alone as the newest iteration of the confederate battle/don’t tread on me flag they wave around town to be annoying for the next century.

Let him be forgotten and fade into obscurity. It’s what he wouldn’t want the most.

“we’re gonna play in the creek”

I’ve heard worse euphemisms for sex.

I hear you, and that’s a valid point, but I see that more as a function of our insatiable need for the primary driver of our destruction: growth/metastasis.

Growth is precisely what is destroying us. We need to find homeostasis with this world. We need to slow down, stop expanding supply chains, and work on making what powers these 100% clean first and foremost. Because right now, most electrics are functionally dirty too, their pollution just happens higher up the chain.

We won’t do that of course, because the reality is most people in the developed world need to accept that wasteful things like fast food, ridiculous amounts of meat, and plastic that serves no necessary purpose, everything from pop figures to disposable water bottles available to people with reusable vessels out of convenience, need to be made illegal yesterday if we want our species to have a decent future.

But our creature comforts are more important to us, and we will punish any politicians that try to call for genuine sacrifice. 🔥🤷🔥
