All because Chloe’s dad was a meathead conservative even though he ends up being a hero lol. I don’t even understand the contempt for it because rebellious daughter and distant conservative father has been a media trope since the dawn of popular culture. Why hate now? Because two girls kiss each other instead of kissing some biker outcast bad boy?

Not to mention the story literally revolves around an innocent Christian girl being abused by an elitist, pretentious hipster teacher and his minions. Like god damn, it checks all the boxes for what conservatives find compelling. It’s literally just hipster lesbian True Detective, yet they hated it for being woke. I don’t understand at all.

Lol really love how consoles just have 2 games and 50 remakes

How is being a monarchist with a man servant not a girlboss

I’d do it too but I’m not plugged into their culture well enough to imitate their complaints

My favorite thing about TF2 is how when it comes down to it, the characters are all psychopathic, mentally deranged mercenaries wasting their lives for hats. Like even Ms Pauling is a workaholic secretary who’s also basically a serial killer. As comedic as the premise is, it’s also dark which is fitting for Source engine games.

Every other game makes their characters noble heroes saving the world from armageddon which is overplayed. The TF2 mercs go against machines, but it’s not the main game lol

Oh damn. I don’t know if it was you, but a while back there was drama on the sub because a mod (who happened to be a hexbear user) deleted some anti-communism posts and there were multiple threads on the sub about it. The mod mentioned here how the other mods were passive and had no idea what was going on lol

Consumers have no problem trusting slimy companies. The problem is that they fail at making an attractive alternative. It’s like Facebook and Youtube copying TikTok. They make it half assed and people stick to the original. Like with Epic, literally the only reason I have an account is to get free games lol. I have 0 intentions of spending a cent on there because it’s worthless outside of it.

I still don’t understand how they’re a monopoly. It’s weird that so much attention is given to Steam and Valve while Microsoft and Sony don’t get any for owning the platform, store, multiplayer infrastructure, and development studios like Valve.

Maybe I just have a superficial understanding of “monopoly,” but Valve isn’t acquiring competing storefronts and studios nor is it prohibiting others with frivolous legal challenges. Valve hasn’t done anything for decades besides sell games; it’s not their fault Sony and Microsoft fail at making their consoled attractive enough for devs to make exclusives. Many good games are on GOG and have zero DRM.

And FWIW, I hate games and Valve. I just think it’s difficult to make a winning case compared to Amazon with its hostile pricing policies, and it allowing counterfeits to push sellers into joining its retail programs.

Are you the one tankie mod that actually moderates the sub while the other guys just sit around

It’s bad. No, I have not played it nor even heard of it until reading this post, but I am willing to bet it’s bad.

Hope they turn Skyrim into its own franchise like SMT did with Persona, then abandon Elder Scrolls into an obscure franchise that’s only available on the Nintendo Blicky in 2054

Divine groping by the priest

he says while being given a wedgie and shoved inside of a locker

Who cares the point of piracy is you don’t pay anyone money

It’s not. It got a bunch of players from streamers’ audience and now no one cares about it. It was just another quarterly streamer trend.

as industry analyst Daniel Ahmad pointed out on X, “The Everything App,”

This is more annoying than “X, formerly Twitter”

IGN reached out to Gallaudet University’s Deaf Studies program for comment, and they replied stating that nobody by the name of Susan Banks was ever employed at the University.

There are ways to seal your records and you’d be reported as never have attended, but I don’t think it applies to faculty.

In another private text conversation with a different individual viewed by IGN, Craven claimed she died while streaming, and that at least one other person had a clip of her death. But IGN could not find evidence of any streams or video footage containing Banks. One day after her death, Craven acknowledged her passing by mentioning the dozens of notifications Banks’ account was receiving. No obituary was uncovered for a person fitting the description of Susan Banks in Oak Park, Illinois.

I find it difficult to believe that someone dying while streaming makes no news at all lol

It may or may not be allowed, but it’s mainly self censorship by companies to avoid controversy with the audience, not the government.

I mean Chinese phones are banned or tariffed and they remain popular only to tech enthusiasts in western countries that are affected.
