Metal Gear Solid 3, Subnautica, Papers Please.

I love the Metal Gear series but the Cold War setting of 3 works so well with the theme of the game. It also features crab battles and the ladder boss.

Subnautica really captures the feeling of being lost in some alien world and slowly making it your new home. The electronic voice assistant manages to send chills up your spine with lines like “oxygen.”

Papers, Please explores complex moral decisions in such a simple way. I wish to live my life more like Jorji.

Unless you’re talking about the exit code of a computer program. Then coming up zero is a good thing.

Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn’t need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.

To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart’s net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.

because apparently the constitution is detailed enough to specify things like that.

It’s impossible for laws to include every single possible detail. Lawyers and judges exist to apply generic laws to specific cases. In this case, a lawyer argued that removing bike lanes creates a saftey issue and since the constitution says the government must protect “life and security of the person”, removing bike lanes goes against the constitution. The judge agreed with the argument.

you could face roughly $100 in fines

The UK has multiple political parties and free democratic elections. Just because the current government passed a law you don’t agree with doesn’t mean the country is authoritarian.

It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.

What do those have to do with my video games?? I just wanna grill game!

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. People fought wars to end monarchy, slavery, fascism. Wanting to be left alone isn’t the mark of a good person. Good deeds are what make a good person. It is your actions, not your beliefs, that make you a good person.

You don’t need to bombard people with your ideas. You need to stand up for them.

I find it hilarious that the reason these payment companies requested sites pull their NSFW content was due to direct action by a puritanical activist group but people upset by it not only don’t care enough to participate in direct action themselves but won’t even put their real name on a petition.

Say what you want about right wing nut jobs, but they at least care enough about their ideas that they go out and make a difference.

Change.org is a private, for-profit, venture-backed company. Your money goes to their executives.

Lol

Ah yes…that’s why I downloaded them too…

Alright, this is just silly.

I have a friend who is a solo dev. He applied for some funding once and was denied because he said he intended on using it to pay himself. They told him it’s not just free money for anyone saying they’re making a game; it’s meant to support businesses. He would need to incorporate, have monthly expenses, and multiple employees. I’m assuming this funding also works like that. It’s stimulus for the economy, not funding for art projects.

Yes, that’s why I didn’t suggest Americans start a petition. A boycott and/or social media campaign is something Americans could do rather than just hope and wait for Europeans to fix everything.

not doing anything is even more useless.

I agree. I also think if you’re not European, you’ve not done anything. There wasn’t even a petition made in the US so Americans haven’t done a single thing, yet are the most vocal about it. That’s the part that confuses me.
