nowhere in the post did they apply for the misery olympics, don’t draft them in by force. people can have small problems and complain about them in a lighthearted way

there’s 11 pages of results if you search “gun” through Modrinth, you’re absolutely correct

the marketplace is “curated” mods, if the guy wants to make paid mods that go against the “curation” he’s gotta make a patreon or something, and handle his own marketing for it

meh, maybe one AAA game a year is worth buying, old or indie games are way better

humans, sometimes

or just likes reminding people in an effective way how strange it is that the “default” pronoun is “he”

i don’t think a wheel with 20 forks in it would work very well

i feel like the feeling of them coming “out of nowhere” and “disappearing” is created by how little cultural impact those movies managed to create. like give me a single quote, anything memorable from the story itself. we all remember it is a beautiful film to watch, but the plot might as well be a theme park ride around an alien world

nobody talks about it, there is nothing to talk about

most of the world isn’t american. we can’t do anything about your government

buy a horse dildo with bitcoin and flaunt how they didn’t get any money from your transaction? idk man, i’m good at vague ideas, specifics are harder

i don’t know if any source has caught up yet, but a few days ago it was indeed just taboo kink games that were being targeted, now it seems all of itch.ios NSFW games are disappearing

gamers, unironically, rise up. this isn’t going to end on niche porn games

this bullshit is surely coming from the recently intensifying family friendlinessification of the internet, but why the fuck do payment processors care? i have no idea. are they taking a cut of advertising revenue? do all ceos just want to appear as massive prudes? do they see children as an untapped market to exploit? or maybe they’re just fucking stupid? what is actually going on

the publishers have the data of the peak of wishlist, they are free to calculate how much mistreating the devs is going to cost them

he also cheats in single player puzzle games

of course there is no way to definitely prove that, which was probably an intentional tactic, but certain puzzles he “solved” in “hours” took a whole community weeks to figure out (brute force was the only way) and there’s no way he’s just happened to guess the right answer

if i was cis and stayed white i’d vibe in 1950s or something. but as a trans person hell nah, i like having some healthcare, not much but some

lmao, their tourism is going to shrivel and die so fast

fascinating how far we’ve gotten in the science of abusing every aspect of human psychology

there’s so, so many ways to influence others

recently i’ve been binging some true crime, two videos by two different youtubers, same topic. A mother murdered by her adopted teen son

• video 1: the mother is presented as a flawed saint, not perfect but with a big heart. the teen is presented as a sociopathic monster, troubled, ungrateful, heartless. the second to last fight he broke her arm. the last fight he killed her. when he spoke of how his mother abused him the youtube comments sang “what a monster, to try to slander his mother after he killed her”

• video 2: a few more details appear, the focus shifts towards the mother. she once had two adopted sons, the second she adopted so “[her son] can experience having a sibling”, some time later CPS had to intervene as the second kid had bars in his windows and a bucket for a toilet. he was deemed troubled and ultimately ran away from home. she had a tendency to fight with her remaining son, degrade him on the basis of his race “if i hadn’t adopted you, you’d be standing on the border with the rest of those people” (she might’ve said “idiots” but i can’t be bothered to check). she felt like her teenage son owed her money for phone bills. the narrator here goes into detail how antisocial personality disorders can be caused by both genetic and environmental factors, they can be learnt behaviours. the remaining son often left home and lived with others after he fought with his mother, mostly about money. here the fact he broke her arm in a fight is ommited, just mentions how he lived with another person and thought long if he should come back. he’s presented as a troubled teen abused by his mother who taught him heartlessness and who ultimately snapped and killed her. the youtube comments sang “what a terrible woman, how could she treat him like that”

same situation, two videos giving you the “correct” interpretation of the events. if i hadn’t accidentally found the other one i wouldn’t even have known there was more to the story, it seemed very matter of fact, very objective, just reporting on what happened & the context that caused it.

it’s really that simple, all it takes is to pick the facts that suit your narrative and present them, you’re not really lying that way, but who would consider it truth either

and that’s one tactic amongst many

hah same, it was the first thing i did after getting some emulators. and yeah the emulation gives some lag that’s normally not noticable, but in rhythm games that require perfect timing it can make the whole experience miserable

you can skip a bar without loosing fever :) take things one at a time!
