Get out and please don’t come back. Scarcity exploits virtual worlds, it doesn’t build them.

my most player-hating video game opinion is that cut content isn't full of secret mysteries and people are killing the conversation by insisting that data-mining is a good way to approach a narrative.
when you're baking a cake, licking the batter off the spoon is a real pleasure, but it ain't cake.

every single patch and DLC getting instantly data-mined and debated is sooooo tedious. arguing over some microsoft excel file instead of the beautiful game right in front of us.
it kills the mystique when you know someone's gonna figure everything out from the demo/beta onward.

if video games are gonna be art, then you gotta let sketchbooks be sketchbooks, so to speak. the work is the work, and the cuttings are sometimes very interesting but not the work. the data-mining thing feels like pretension to authority. I see why an air of objectivity appeals, but it's not real

Friend of a friend (but not a friend) melting down.

Yep, straight into misogyny, responsibility evasion, dependence on intimacy, and high splash damage anger.

In public, instead of in private where they can work on repairing and rebuilding.

I hate how social media has broken our brains.

Finally got around to playing Outer Wilds. I can tell I’ll love the story.

Execution on the gameplay is 90% excellent, 10% “I don’t want to play this anymore” levels of frustrating.

Desperately needs a little more QoL for the directionally challenged (like me).

Looked at some random fandom pop up on my feed & realized that serious opinions all trends towards asinine or hysterical when crammed into the short form, and that I can’t even avoid the splash damage by following mostly just artists

Feel like I need to only shitpost in public & make a private acct

I’m riding the JO train line and I can’t stop chuckling that it’s abbreviated ‘JO line’

I think that there is no form of asynchronous social media that is healthy to consume for more than five minutes an hour.

I'm okay with ads, actually, but I think every last feed-based social app is destined to make money off of feeding you like pigs at a trough, and that's the real harm.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

Apologies for the politicalposting, I’ll make it quick.

Jack should have triggered the constitutional crisis of a convicted president. Cowardly not to.

It’s not accountability when you allow votes to pardon any crime, and it’s not democracy when crime can brazenly pervert the will of the people.
Trump would have been convicted of election interference, DoJ report says
A prosecutor says there was enough evidence in the 2020 US election case - but he was scuppered by Trump's win in 2024.

Japanese paperwork for nearly four hours. The upshot of the bureaucracy is that at least they’re able to resolve things or definitively say ‘no’ most of the time!

TBH, I don't really enjoy wishing people Merry Christmas, but I like people enough to humor the exchanges, and receive them with the warmth they intended.

But the holiday really doesn't mean much to me...designated times of year for families to get together aren't universally positive for everyone.

Does anyone else notice that when someone tries to use the word ‘hereby’ unironically their brain shuts down and ignores whatever was being said?

No one feature is going to "fix" the economy. You need:
- Normalized & visible economy use
- Actual value provided
- Information about that value (ratings/reviews)
- A retentive user journey that takes payment into account (start them free, teach them about $, encourage to spend)
- and more...
