I just want access to my whole Xbox library on my PC. There’s a small amount of overlap, but not much.

Ukraine would be crazy to sign this

Is that really it? Lol they turn on each other quickly. I hope they keep going. Destroy themselves from within would be a nice way to end 2025

I agree. Unfortunately, it feels really difficult to come up with other solutions. For some reason, there’s something that either corrupts people or that causes negative power dynamics. I would love if there were a way to just give regular people a comfortable life while the rich could still just be rich and not make our lives worse in the process lol.

I used to think UBI would be possible. But with all the corruption in world governments, I have now considered that UBI would be used to coerce people into doing things they don’t want to, in order to survive.

No idea if this is just doomer thinking or if I’m not far off the money. But it’s a shame. I think everyone should not have to worry about their needs being met. The more safety nets we have, the less employers can hold us hostage or be shitty because people will have more options

Why is the right hating her?

Explains why windows has been such garbage. Remember when windows 10 was advertised as the last windows? Lol

I did really like Obra Dinn! I thought I might not due to the theme of the game and the color pallette but those worries were gone after playing it. It was a lot of fun piecing the story together. I played both Obra Dinn and Blue Prince with my spouse and I think it made it more enjoyable for me because I tend to hyper focus in on like random details or I’ll look at the big picture and forget other little things, so it was fun to play and experience them together.

I enjoyed Blue Prince but the repeating structure of the game started to wear a bit thin as you progressed. I kinda wish there was a toggle to ensure quicker completion once a person completed the main objective. I didn’t bother to go and finish the extra bits n bobs because I felt like it was just too much busy work at that point.

Out of this list I’ve played (in order)

Fez

Outer Wilds

Return of the obra dinn

Blue prince

Outer Wilds was my favorite of the bunch. I didn’t know anything about it and went in blind. It’s gotta be in my top 5 favorite games, if not number 1.

Subnautica felt similar due to the exploration element. I wish there were more games like this.

I feel like we’re probably screwed either way at this point. Everything seems to just be getting more expensive with no end in sight. Maybe it’s me being bitter, but I would at least like to see the billionaires money burn a little lol. Unfortunately, no matter what happens they’ll be ok, and everyone else suffers regardless, so idk.

Oh man I wish. Let’s get it over with already lol

I have played it! I thought the water gameplay was pretty good, but the on land was not my favorite.

I really liked the cyclops submarine as a mobile base. It just felt like it made the underwater sections feel claustrophobic and dangerous at every turn once you encountered the larger leviathans. I missed it a lot in below zero

Damn. That’s a huge shame. The first game was excellent. I was really hoping we would get something similar

Fuck, I’m sorry. I wish you all the best

They also make the game “The finals” which also uses AI voices. If I recall correctly, they paid some people to offer their voices to be used for AI generated voice lines.

I wish they didn’t though because the rest of the game is really good. It’s like they took the look of mirrors edge and combined it with battlefield gameplay in a smaller map design and no vehicles.

Starving people out is the best reason to start fighting. I hope people start fighting back. This makes me so angry holy man.

First off, don’t cut yourself short. Nearing 100,000 is a pretty big deal, in my opinion. Congratulations! I’m sorry you’re finding the algorithm frustrating. I understand the frustration. I’ve been streaming for about a year and a half now, but im under the 250 followers mark. I used to stream gaming stuff on YouTube, which was actually going half decently until the YouTube algorithm decided to stop all reach for no discernable reason. So I swapped over to twitch and had to restart/continue from there.

The thing I’ve always found troublesome is that the YT algorithm sucks at finding content people are interested in if the channel is smaller. And if that channel makes a variety of content, it’s super unlikely it’ll get pushed. as a viewer, I’m always seeing the exact same channels, which isn’t terrible if you like those channels, but trying to discover small channels is difficult unless the algorithm pushes something to you.

On twitch I’ve been able to find really cool streamers through word of mouth. Lots of amazingly talented people with <500 followers.

My main gripe is that in order to find reach, it feels like you have to participate in as many social media ecosystems as possible. I could pump out YouTube shorts and join tiktok. But I’m conflicted because I feel like shorts feeds aren’t the healthiest thing for people.

Thank you! I appreciate you Remington. You always have a kind word or thought to share.

I think I’m on a path to quitting my job come spring/summer. It seems like a terrible idea, but I’m slowly losing my sanity. It’ll be 7 years when I quit. My parents need a smaller home, I’ll be moving with them. If they can afford a smaller place on their own, and it means I can find something different? I think I’m going to do it.

Worst case scenario, I take whatever jobs I can find and just make a bit to help out. Or maybe waste money and go back to school for something that doesn’t pan out the way I thought it would again, lol.

I still have no idea what I’m going to do. It’s scary to quit normally. Never mind during such unstable times in the world. But I’m afraid that if I don’t do it soon, I’ll never do it and end up a wage slave to this company forever. Maybe I’m nutty, and this is just a way my brain is helping me cope. Knowing there’s a way out and a light at the end of the tunnel. I have no idea, really, but I know this idea sounds extremely foolish.

I’m terrified I won’t be able to find something, considering I’ve casually looked on and off and haven’t found anything that really clicks based on this job. But I’m willing to change careers so maybe I can find something else.

This is my personal opinion, but I believe peaceful protest does mean something. It’s shown me (and hopefully others) that largely people are good and strive to be good people. Society is incredibly patient. Probably too patient.

However, it also shows that at some point peacefully protesting might get met with violence by the state, which in turn shifts public opinion towards acceptable levels of counter violence to protect their communities and loved ones. ICE abducting people is just the beginning, but public opinion is slowly shifting. Eventually, if the government continues to overstep, people will be much more likely to do something.

The fact that the snap benefits are not being accommodated during this shutdown is awful, but i think it’s also the best worst situation as hungry people will get even more angry towards a corrupt government.
