Former PlayStation exec still doesn’t get it.

It’s woven into their ideologies and everyday lives. Has been that way from day one. Young minds don’t stand a chance.

Child soldiers that are brainwashed into thinking it’s okay to rape, pillage, and murder entire unarmed families, and then make videos for the internet where they defile their homes while singing songs about genocide.

I actually found The Messenger after completing Sea of Stars and being so invested in it. I looked the devs up and decided I’d buy all of their stuff.

I liked The Messenger a lot.

My advice is to buy nothing from AliExpress or Temu.

My favorite feature of GTA Online was when I’d get destroyed by someone with every weapon, only to respawn walking distance from them over and over and over. They’d kill me repeatedly before I even had a chance to do anything. The only way I could escape was to hope I found a car quick, or hope they got bored of spawn killing me.

This game is a fucking joke. Rockstar has been a shell of its former self for years.

Lemmy is a massive collection of separate servers and communities run by people. Therefore no government has a hold on it. I’m a guy that pays money out of his own pocket monthly to run a Lemmy server. If the government is controlling it, that’s news to me, and my comment history is pretty damn anti-government.

The whole point of decentralization is to remove control from the corporations and governments, and put it back into the hands of the people.

The MOVE bombing. The fact that the Philadelphia police dropped not one but TWO explosive devices on the roof of their house via helicopter is still nuts to me. What made it even worse was the fact that the fire department showed up and let it continue to burn, destroying 61 evacuated neighboring homes and leaving 250 people homeless.

Any time I tell someone about it that hasn’t heard the story, they’re skeptical.

Another one is the time I learned that I was under local surveillance for being an activist that was part of a local non-violent black liberation org. The police would send a unit weekly to check my whereabouts and movements. I learned through a friend of a friend that didn’t even know who I was, but knew my name and that I was on a surveillance list. Pretty sure they were checking in on everyone involved.

Edit: if this comment has taught me anything, it's that you're better off not engaging with pointless nitpickers and police apologists. Fuck me for having an opinion.

Elon is a masterclass in the Dunning-Kruger effect.

This quote from the article is exactly why I absolutely won’t bother with OW2–“free” or not:

"I somehow purchased Overwatch 1 for $40, which Blizzard then deleted and created this predatory microtransaction simulator instead"
