I’ll do you one better: completely free.
Check out Ashes: 2063. It started life as a mod for Doom, but is now completely standalone and has more in common with the Metro games than anything else at this point. PC only, but both games and their expansions are 100% free and worth every minute of your time.
Good for you. For the rest of us, it’s a nuisance.
I truly wish I shared your optimism. As it stands, I’d be fine with the US not devolving into fascism.
We've woken the Hive!
Baby steps are better than none.
I can’t even afford rent half the time.
…that ended up getting a big number of the other team to start playing for them, instead. To say that’s had knock on effects would be an understatement.
That makes one of us. I feel like every single company I’ve ever worked for only ever treats people like machines and they’ve all become exceedingly efficient at replacing them when they’ve broken down.
The manager likely thinks it’s him, but it’s actually all the workers that do the work.
The guns in my closet say otherwise.
Tell that to every other company while you’re at it.
Gah, everything. Interrupting my shows. Ruining the vibe before they even start. Destroying the time I’d use to contemplate the ending.
Nowadays, ads are just… everywhere. None of them are relevant because I don’t have the disposable income to buy superfluous things. They obstruct the view of the short-form videos I watch, they interrupt them, they clutter up webpages and make them load much slower than they should, they get in the way of my feed and the content I actually want to see.
They’re a nuisance, one that no online company seeks to minimize or control. It’s always just money money money. How can we make more money? I know, let’s make our pages and services so inconvenient to use that our users can’t help but accidentally click on every ad they see, or they pay us through the nose to get an experience that’s worse than what we used to offer for free.
