Every time I’m playing an online video game and I hear the word “Chinese” there is basically a 100% chance it will be followed up with “hacker.”

Which is interesting because I swear it’s just projection from racist assholes. I don’t run into cheaters very often, or at least I don’t think I do, but the last two people I am certain were cheating were white supremacists. I fought a Ken player in SF6 that in a team called “Whites only” and the other guy was in Tarkov who was walling and just shouting the worst shit imaginable at anyone who came within earshot.

Path of Exile.

Years ago I tried it, hit level 2 and opened the skill tree, closed the game an uninstalled.

A while later a friend convinced me to try again and taught me enough to get started and now it’s my favorite game.

I’ve been playing PokeMMO which is also very well done. I’ll check this out

I wonder what would happen to the standard lib brain if you told them you weren’t voting for Biden because you intend to write-in Hillary.

“I will not vote for Biden.”

“NOT VOTING IS A VOTE FOR TR-“

“I’m still with her.”

“???”

I’d put money on Bobby just going “Which studio is closest to finishing the next one?” And just pushing that through as quickly as possible so he could give himself one last bonus or whatever right before Microsoft execs would of taken a piece.

What I’m trying to say is, how the fuck does gta 6 have better opsec than most leftist organizations.

They probably don’t, it’s just the government doesn’t have any reasons to put plants at Rockstar.

I’ll never watch those little yellow bastards

It looks smaller than my elementary school ngl

Paradox has and will continue to do this

I was losing my mind at the fentanyl skittles stories last year. It was so obviously made up but my relatives were terrified.

A couple of years ago the Navy bought an ad campaign which included them streaming on twitch everyday. They always had a few thousand viewers which I thought was bullshit especially because there were only 10 or so people chatting. After watching the chat for about 30 minutes the same 10 chatters had the exact same things to say again. 30 minutes later it happened again.

I was going to document it, but by the time I decided to people like y’all came in and started spamming things like “What’s your favorite war crime???” and it became way to chaotic to prove it.

With how much hype there has been for this, I will never take anyone who says “It’s good now, they fixed it” seriously.

It happens with every game now I’m sure the PR teams at every major publisher use this as a crutch.

have you tried being dumb as hell? surely you haven’t tried that one yet

A friend of mine claims he “only plays good video games” and I asked him what that means and he told me “mostly I don’t play video games with zombies” and I think he’s onto something

I worked in a machine shop running CNCs. I started by working on parts for microscopes and electrical housings and made what felt like an army’s worth of assault weapon uppers before I quit a week later.

Mmmm ice cream so good!

I can imagine an entire nation where this is true at most workplaces.

Pretty rare anyone says it explicitly tho

Yea but at least we still get the FB tier memes

Using anything other than local is a garbage heap

I don’t want to speak for everyone but I’ll say this for myself.

After being told for over 20 years that I should still be morning these people and for the same amount of time our foreign policy hasn’t gotten any better, in fact it’s worse just makes me angry. They died and we’re worse as a country for it. It makes me deeply sad, but at some point the sadness just became a bitter sense of humor I reckon as a defense mechanism so I didn’t truly descend into madness.

Or in other words, it jokerfied me.

and there’s no nuance around it?

The fact that the whole ordeal was a giant fucking tragedy caused by American imperialism is funny for that reason, not because those people are dead.

That is the nuanced take.
