  • As a fan since the first, and having played nearly every version of Far Cry, Far Cry 5 was the biggest disappointment for so many reasons. What a dud. I cannot comprehend the love people have for this mediocre pile of mush.

    The Vietnam DLC was fun though.

    Blood Dragon is the best Far Cry by the way. But truly Far Cry 2 is actually the best for what it aimed to achieve, which was lost in subsequent games.





  • The Bible is a collection of random manuscripts that men long ago decided were “holy” enough. On top of that, there is no “bible.” Almost every sect of Christianity has different forms of this Bible, some involving different included or excluded scripts, and numerous varying translations or rewrites.

    Has always been astonishing to me how many Christians believe their Bible is the only one. They get in their little echo chambers and just assume their experience is what everyone else experiences. I’ve seen this ignorance also translate to non-religious topics as well. They just assume their world view is THE world view.

    Fuck religion. But especially fuck general Christianity. It self-selects the narcissist looking for an excuse book to wave a magic wand and be absolve of their shittyness.

    Just FYI this comment comes from a childhood of abuse followed by “I’ll only need to answer to god.”

    You ignore the electoral college (i.e. an entire state swinging for one candidate and conpletely overruling your vote), you also ignore voter suppression tactics, including restrictive and cost prohibitive ID laws and roll purges. In some parts of the US it is seriously difficult for certain groups, especially the poor, to exercise this right. Merely transportation issues alone can be super prohibitive. They explicitly close polling stations in certain areas and fuck with transportation services for this. They push back against early and mail in voting. People have to work during that day. They have kids and lives.

    This is well known in America. Get off your smug high horse.






  • And there are those who have it even harder than YOU. Everyone’s station in life is different. They are allowed to experience that.

    If they are being insensitive to your concerns, then maybe they are not a good friend, but it sounds like you’re the one insensitive to their concerns. You can both have different concerns.

    Also this is literally a Switch post in a gaming community amd you self selected this complaint in here. It’s telling.
