Exclusives are bad. We all agree that exclusives are bad, right?

So why the hell do I keep seeing people argue that Nintendo is good because they refuse to release their games on any other platform? Do you love paying an extra Nintendo fee???

Another Defunctland video, another time the internet goes crazy over a supposedly "cozy" and "fun" video about some horrible dystopian shit and service workers getting absolutely fucked so that people can make money.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Stories from the US: I watched my friend die of cancer because their health insurance refused to cover it.

Stories from China: They cleaned my river by sending a corrupt politician to jail.

American movies and shows and all other of their media has been like this for my entire life and then some.
re prime 4 discourse, todasy is as good a time as any to say:

video games talk AT you way too much in the 2020s!

i'm not talking abt too much narrative (not a real issue). i'm talking abt a constant, patronizing use of narration to /predigest/ everything from challenge to mood to emotional impact!

If you tried to tell me with a straight face that every bond movie makes sense as a perfect continuity I would laugh at you.

It's obviously silly comic book nonsense with a new villain each day. Continuity? Not in anything more than some names and vibes.

Still amazing that ancaps got their big political win in Argentina and then their guy, Javier Milei, goes and crypto rugpulls them while destroying the economy and asking for a US bailout.

Here's a pro saying the entire civ sucks. "Just builds units" is his advice. Because, yeah, most people struggling just don't understand how to build units.

Age of Empires 4 players you are being a disgrace right now. Learn a build order, git gud.

The Nazis are getting emboldened everywhere in the world, anyone who's not a white male is getting threatened out of politics or killed. Ruling parties are siding with the Nazis. Shit is bad in the world right now.

Gaming today is really insane because if you dare suggest a game can go without a balance patch for more than a week you'll actually get yelled at.

Right now there's a pretty strong feudal age unit in aoe4 that pros don't consider strong. Everyone is shitting and pissing trying to get it nerfed.

Funny thing about the "git gud" crowd. You're only allowed to say it to people who aren't considered real gamers, if you say "git gud" to a "real gamer" who's crying for nerfs a week into a patch they will call for your head.

I can't help but follow dumb US news but Cuomo running as independent purely so he has more time to spew racist dogshit before inevitably losing anyway is fucking crazy. Americans just cannot see a brown person and not do hate crimes.

People want me to think of the US as a wealthy country but every time anyone talks about food it sure seems like the US is a third world, developing country.

"You can't expect people without a kitchen to cook!" I would expect a wealthy country to have kitchens.

Ok yeah Stranger Things S1 is absolutely peak TV.

I'm rewatching Stranger Things S1 and it's so much better than I remember. This show deserved all the praise.

Genuinely this looks like utter shit. How can one person have so much bad taste in them?
I’m sorry but the concept of being “horrified” by the toilet in the Lincoln bathroom is so funny

One of the biggest websites on the internet now just looks like a cheap scam website. "Farm Merge Valley" that game already sounds like it's mining bitcoin in the background.

Don't get me wrong, the internet used to be worse. But then it got better for a while. Now we're back to the bad times.

The Nazis are currently ruling the US. If you want to be a Nazi in government you can just go and do that.

Why would a Nazi who wants to be in government lie about it and run for democrats??? I get not wanting someone with a Nazi past but why on earth do people think he's still a Nazi?
