Could be worse. America would’ve apologized for the inconvenience and reimbursed them for the ammunition.

You don’t have to imagine.

It already happened.

Six.

What’s Mandarin for “duh”?

PC releases don’t take longer than consoles to make anymore - in 2026 it’s entirely business decisions - not technical.

Between all of the bullshit tariffs, retaliation, and trade-war nonsense Trump has instigated around the world, the Canadian liquor boycott seems to be LITERALLY the only one having the intended effect.

Keep it up.

Don’t worry. We’ve got an unfocused, pathologically lying, ketamine’d up nazi wasting our tax dollars blowing up rockets running the show on our side.

Despite assurances from management, some workers believe the company will be subject to censorship by its new owners.

Assurances from anyone with an MBA are worth less than nothing. They are professional liars. They pretend they aren’t with the bullshit “optimism isn’t lies”, except it absolutely is when you KNOW your optimistic interpretation is bullshit. It’s like that Dr. Nick bit.

Dr. Nick: “With my diet, you can eat anything you want, any time you want!”

Marge: “And you’ll lose weight?”

Dr. Nick: “You might! It’s a free country!”

Young adults have to become experts at something to realize that - a prospect that AI makes harder every day.

Look them right in the face and use the broken shit.

My phone is not physically on fire? I’m still using it.

My pants are ripped? Don’t look.

You can’t MAKE shit obsolete enough that I won’t suffer through using it out of sheer spite.

Tik tappa?

Is she using a Blackberry?

You mean like every single other game that has the resource chugging always-on home-phoning DRM stripped out?

It’d be more surprising if it DIDN’T run better.

The definition of financial happiness is the difference between how much you make and how much you spend.

While some poor jerk is spending the next 30 years paying 30% of their income on a mortgage, you’ve got everything you need at a 10th the cost and can afford to weather whatever comes at you.

We are extremely aware and super tuned in, but the vast majority of people who buy games do not look this closely.

Irresponsible companies are the result of irresponsible consumers. It sucks, but it’s built into our economic system, and more deeply, our species.

For those of us born before YouTube, we can just leave it.

For those born in the last couple decades, legacy tv and movies are difficult to watch and are only consumed occasionally. It will never, ever occur to YouTube’s primary audience to stop watching.

“Futurism” hits like a religious word now that you need a blind faith that’s contrary to logic to believe there’s a future for us at all.

We got THIS close to being done with nicotine and bullshit in the air in daily life, and then the kids discovered vaping.

At best, the kids are in the aggregate no better or worse than the generations before them. No generation is going to save us from stupid when stupid is part of our species’ DNA.

They’re the same people who go “I’m fine with the raising prices. It’s a valuable service to me and I make lots of money, so I’m fine with bending over for their shareholders.”

It’s capitalism signaling for people with more money than values and ABSOLUTELY no sense of pattern recognition or consequences.
