Whoa this doin' numbers.
Just want to share my crazy tin-foil Mil History take.
"Did you know there is a direct correlation between the decline of World War 2 Shooters and the rise of Nazi Activity? Think about it!"
*Unironically believe this*

Is it like Japan's orders to sanitize any implication of Romance from America specifically because they think we are all Catholic-Guilted sleeping in separate beds?

I feel like everyone "says" they agree with this, but when it happens, people get pissed.
Especially the "Paid More to Work Less" part because that might mean a game being """"Over Priced"""

Looking at the #Peak update:
It's always those "Naw Spiders are cute and harmless! Don't be scared! :3" types,
That put the SCARIEST SPIDER CONTENT IN GAMES! Only reinforcing fear!
And 9/10 times an "Arachnophobia Mode" makes it worse.
Guess what my earliest memory of PURE TERROR is? (Below)

My CuisinArt Burr Mill I got from my Great Aunt just stopped working in a strange way.
Inspired by @techconnectify.bsky.social, I decided to open it. Maybe it's simple inside.
Still no clue what's wrong, but I'm curious, and I'm in the Chicago Area. I'd donate this for a Coffee Grinders episode.

If you lived through the French Revolution, you watched a the establishment was beheaded in droves in response to financial inequality. A Good thing. Progress.
You also lived to see a hero in that movement take charge and bring Slavery back. He was a lesser evil...but we held them accountable.

One thing "both sides" have is stupid people. You'd have a big ego to argue otherwise.
Right wing stupid people "Vote against their interests", ignoring deeper policy consequences.
Left wing stupid people "Non-Vote against their interests", ignoring deeper policy consequences.
Dems want RC Voting

This isn't to say that "immature" media with dark lore doesn't exist, but most of the time they are not so shy about it.
It's often a very deliberate thing with very deliberate clues, and even then, the best ones are executed more artfully then what most fandoms conjure up.

Rusty's Razor:
Far from "Occam's Razor", "Rusty's Razor" is the tendency for an individual or fandom, when faced with a gap in the narrative that they "feel" needs explanation, regardless of literary necessity, will make as many assumptions as possible to make the answer as bleak as possible.

Pete Hegseth is like someone who COMMENTS on videos about how the Empire could have "won" a space battle just to disagree and offer "smarter" tactics and suggests war crimes.
The video is already a stupid, tenuous grasp on media literacy and war logistics, and you have to one-up the stupid.

I don't like the RNG of Roguelikes, TCGs, or Gacha games, or the gross gambling vibes of the latter.
But I love Poker.
But that's because Poker is a Social Deduction game.

It really is just a population of people who's "Single Issue Voter" issue: is to be allowed to say "Fa-" and "Ret-" with no consequences.
That's their single issue.
They want to make getting "discriminated" for saying slurs illegal in the same way you can't be discriminated for race or religion.

It isn't a defense of Nintendo to suggest some people are too stupid to realize Nintendo didn't put Tariffs in place on America.
/But I'm sure if we bully Nintendo enough they'll remove the Tariffs./
"They should eat the Tariffs" the excuse of someone worried more about video games then Trump.

I always want to talk about Luke's arc in Star Wars was "Kindness and Mercy."
Dirt Farmer. Found a mentor that taught him a great power. Used that power to save lives from evil.
That mentor told him, "Go kill your dad", Luke said, "Never."
Never liked how that radical mercy vanished "off screen."

@wayforward.bsky.social has such extremely talented devs.
They have had very successful games and work with big IPs, so they must have resources.
Shantae is clearly thier mascot, so I have to ask...
Why do they keep doing this to themselves with the Genie Girl?
