    ah yes, I remember those record setting antiwar protests against Bush II’s wars. Amounted to nothing because they weren’t willing to start burning things. The civil rights protests only succeed because the threat of burning the cities down was very real, but public school twisted the cause and effect chain to instill a strong sense that peaceful and only peaceful protests work. Boomers aren’t willing to put anything at risk for what they believe in and shun people who are.

    About the same, but I would love to go to a lan party every now and then and actually game. I stopped going when people were more interested in sharing their puddle deep political takes instead of gaming and that was before gamergate. I can only imagine how bad it would be now.

    People were more relaxed at lan parties and open server browser games. Rank tracking and matchmaking made everyone a sweaty gamer.




  • I thought that may have happened with Only Up!, but it may have only been temporally delisted for copyright violations by the developer.

    Looks like it happens fairly often for bad G2A codes or other redeem code fraud, which seems fair. People report that you can get the money back as store credit.



  • I tell certain types “I don’t follow politics” when I believe that my politics will be problematic to them and I don’t want to hear about it, but the other way around from what you’re describing. The people I have to deal with have started shouting at me when I simply give a different perspective and have no chance of budging in their views at a 5 minute conversation wont override the hours of fox news they watch everyday. I live is a somewhat small community, so not only do I need to worry about these types no longer patronizing my family’s business, I also have to worry about my truck getting vandalized. I’ve actually heard one of these types proudly proclaiming they want to get into a fist fight with climate scientists.
