Knew a guy. Young dude, former military but broke his back during parachute training exercise so out on disability fully. 4k+ a month. Lives in a 4 bedroom house in a modest, rural town. Constantly complained about never having enough money. Dude would spend damn near half his monthly check on new accessories for his collection or a new piece. Every month.

Dude was selfish as fuck and such an idiot. Didn’t know until I had to live with him. Glad I’m not stuck there even if life is technically harder.

It’s pretty obvious that any creative endeavor that requires artistic influence will always be handicapped by our current economy.

As soon as all of these dev companies became large corporations, their mission changed from creating a fun, entertaining experience into producing the cheapest possible product they can get away with that will still sell and generate revenue.

Art requires risk and imperfections, but risk and imperfections are diametrically oppositional to the economic endeavor of generating the absolute most potential profit possible.

There was a recent report, it only helps during the first few months of sales according to a very flimsy study that was done.

It suggests that it only saves a mean of 15% total revenue during the first 12 weeks.

Though remember, these figures are all just theoretical projections of sales. Basically just “well we believe we should have made this much revenue. So if we don’t make it, it means we lost potential revenue, not that we simply didn’t make as much as we thought we would.”

We are gonna die anyway. At least with societal collapse there will be a chance that not everyone will die from climate collapse.

Better to understand it is inevitable and prepare for it instead of sticking your head in the sand about it.

Damn right I’m a commie.

Recycling was never supposed to work alone. It was literally the last ditch effort after Reduce and Reuse.

Also, we already figured out how to make it work, but it isn’t profitable when it works, so obviously we have to use the less effective methods so that a small handful of big wigs can milk the process for personal gain.

Cause God forbid we expect men to not by misogynist perverts. Women should just cover head to toe and never show themselves in public because “consequences”, yea?

Nah fuck that victim blaming mentality. Women should be able to post pictures of themselves online without worrying about perverts objectifying them.

Men need to learn to be better and held accountable for their shitty behavior.

How is this downvoted? Dude literally admits to creeping on women’s profiles so he can ogle their photos. How is he any different from old school weirdos who would whack it to Sports Illustrated?

This isn’t someone admitting to enjoying porn (which is still a problematic industry in itself but that’s another, more complex, issue). It is someone admitting to looking at regular photos on women’s profiles and fantasizing about their tits.

That’s textbook objectification of women.

I’m disappointed in No Mans Sky for not using it for the Utility Menu they have. Really was a missed opportunity.

I think I could count on one hand the number of games I’ve played that actually used the touch features of the touch pad (swipe, pinch, etc…) rather than have it just be a big button.

I forget which game it was but they let you control the map with it. Was actually pretty good once you got used to it.

Yea his mistake was pumping the number too much. If he would have kept a steady stream of income and not get greedy, they never would have noticed him.
