Natural consequence of capitalism.

I should look into matrix. I have a small group of nerds in my group. need video, voice, text, and image sharing. A dice bot is nice, too.

Haha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.

I would make cautious alliance with someone if that was their principle.

It’s short and you can find a copy at your library, or on the seas.

Sales number is the only language they speak.

They also speak violence, but historically that’s in the form of the rich and/or the state attacking labor.

Microsoft should be broken up. They never should have been allowed to get so big in the first place.

The Republicans cause more abortions because they don’t do anything to fix the problem sooner. No sex Ed. No contraception. Nothing to allow labor to have stable home lives with financial security. Voting Republican to minimize abortion is counter productive.

Computers often do what you said, not what you meant.

Honestly more experience with that might help some people who are habitually unclear in their thinking and communication

Microsoft should be split up, at the very least. I’d also like to see the leadership stripped of their wealth and the company handed over to the workers.

One of the most common sources of alienation for me is seeing what other people, my alleged peers, spend their money on.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if everyone’s spending habits became like mine. Lot of industries and practices would die.

I’ve said basically to my boss at the shitty megacorp like “if I go out of my way to fix things and do more work, I get the same outcome as not doing any of that. You don’t give me paid holidays. You pay entry level wages. We both know I’m going to be laid off in December. So why would I?”

Capitalist hell-scape. Working to make some unseen ghouls rich.

People will play this like “Fucking hey! I aced that bike segment first time!” all proud of their gaming skills when the reality is you did absolutely nothing, my brother.

I remember a little indie game predicated on this once. You were shown upcoming game state the player was in, and had to make choices so they’d get the maximum score without doing anything. I was a like Columns or Tetris like game, so you’d have to arrange the board so if they just dropped the pieces they’d get a combo.

Weirdly fun, interesting commentary.

Capitalism. The people making decisions aren’t the people doing the work. The people keeping the profits (and thus the power) aren’t the people doing the work.

I’m confident that a lot of the stuff that’s unpopular in games was put there because some ghoul thought it would be profitable, and the actual workers didn’t want to do it.

There’s a chipotle not far from me. I usually see people in there. But there’s also like several local mexican places that are great right nearby. So I’ve never gone to the chipotle.

Why don’t we use this surveillance to nail the big companies that are polluting to the wall? (Because we are ruled by the worst among us.)

It would be really funny in a heartless way to see all the red states collapse. Big “I fucking told you so” opportunity.

Unfortunately, it would take a long time and a lot of innocent people would die. Also they’d probably start wars

Sadly, no. Two ancient laptops (circa 2004, 2008) and a 20-something inch crt with no HDMI.

I have several old but working electronics and I literally haven’t been able to give them away for free. They’re probably going to end up in the eWaste trash. I don’t know if that leads to anything being reclaimed, but probably not.

It’s been a while but from what I remember every character woman is either an idiot or a manipulator.

They took the witch from the first game and made her a conniving lying betrayer.

The way Leah was written is… Not good. Weird purity issues. And she dies horribly.

The female follower NPC is… A scantily clad enchantress.

You start to see a theme and wonder about what the author thinks.
