this is basically how i felt being online in 1998
That was part of a whole era when people were making movies about being Online. Being Online was portrayed as this glamorous, exciting lifestyle. Picture intense closeups of people's faces as they logged on, smash cuts to their fingers typing on the keyboard, intense musical score in the background.
I remember being excited to watch Sandra Bullock in the net

Since I love procgen / high systemic story generator games, I decided to finally pick up Rim World. But I did not like it, which did not make any sense. So I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why and made a little graph.

Consumer PSA:
A lot of stores will advertise an Xmas tree,
but the package actually *contains* a Ymas tree.
DON'T BE FOOLED.

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

I never worked at Critical Reflex but in the spirit of being an ally, I will say I can personally corroborate the sexual harassment from a named individual in the article because I experienced it too.
sadly not the first or last time I dealt with this from publishers + investors I was speaking with

Do I like video games? Or do I, in fact, like five video games and perpetually search for echoes of them in every other game I play?
