throwing out the “UK is literally hitler” comparison, it’s not quite as simple as “make cigarettes illegal.” remember the war on drugs? alcohol prohibition in the states? yea, you’re getting it out of the stores, but at the same time creating a black market that is completely unregulated. i don’t know what the answer is, but no one has come up with one in the history of addiction

i never actually read james patterson. is it as dreck as i’m assuming it is?
sanderson has some good stuff. i was impressed with tress of the emerald sea. way of kings was good, just…too much
its because we’re living in a simulation written by chatgpt
every time i see one of those birds, i think of how far cry 3 made me passionately hate them
what sort of cultural art from today’s civilizations will someone turn into a stroke induced feverdream on the walls of their house 2500 years from now? everything is born digital and most will of it will disappear whenever its format does

republicans are so fucking stupid
some people look at me in horror if i say i’m skipping dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow, or god forbid, not eating until day after tomorrow-- they absolutely think it’s a “fad” and that i’m going to die immediately if i don’t eat burgers and fries ASAP
i don’t know where you are, but where i live, skipping a meal or two is like… spitting on jesus or something
i lost ~50 lb last year just by intermittent fasting and walking more. actually i stopped eating processed junk too
just wait until you’re old, and old people problems start cropping up
i love indie games also-- in fact playing through hades 2 right now, which is hard to believe how awesome it is. other notable amazing titles include balatro, DRG (ROCK AND STONE), dead cells, delta V, dysmantle-- too many to name. so yea… i have no problem not buying a AAA game for $70+
i love [email protected]
i expected bethesda graphics and gameplay, which were always meh after skyrim
what i didn’t expect was the pointless boring in fact fucking tedious everything else involved in playing a video game-- wtf is this fetch quest about talking trees? go talk to this guy, and then go talk to that guy, and then and then and then-- what a fucking let-down.
don’t worry i learned my lesson. i’ll never buy another bethesda title unless a year has passed and it still has a minimum ‘very positive’ rating. maybe not even then. fuck bethesda
true, and fuck blizzard too
yes, as a huge ultima nerd, i was excited for UO. after spending hours barely being able to do anything because of my 386 PC and 14.4 dialup speed, and then getting killed because of all the lag and losing everything, i said i guess i don’t have the money to play this game, and left it
but that wasn’t bethesda-- still origin at that point
fallout new vegas
remember when everyone was excited about 76 LOL
also diablo 4 LOL
also starfield LOL
you are right: reduction is good. here’s hoping for a positive outcome
