Ah yes, the key to decentralized currencies: banks.

You should always be skeptical and critical of all candidates. So for you to whip it out like a novel argument for why you don't think anyone should vote for the most progressive option is absurd.
If there is a better candidate to vote for, absolutely do it. If this convinces YOU to run against him, that's great! But every candidate is going to have flaws, and as we hold out for the perfect person, fascism will continue to roll us over. It's a strategy that clearly doesn't help.
Yeah you've got the right idea there. I too never vote for the candidate that markets themselves as progressive ever since Sinema. I'm playing the 4D chess route, always voting for the fascist just in case they're secretly a closet progressive.
Interesting, so how did the military not reprimand him for it? Do you think his ignorance is unlikely then, and that he actually made an effort to conceal it?
Well, you can now read his full reddit comment history if you wanna know what he's about.
What if it DOES matter if they did it deliberately or accidentally, and it DOES matter how they respond when confronted about it? What if they're humans who make mistakes, and are able to own them like an adult?
Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good, that's the left wing cat herding part that earned us this fascist takeover in the first place. If you have someone better to vote for, by all means. But you can always convince yourself that the progressive candidate is secretly a right wing extremist. Always. That's right there with QAnon rational.
Behold, the master race.
AW2 was incredible, but I knew it wouldn't do well when I played it, because it's too niche. I love the Weird Fiction universe they're building, but it's just not pulling the Resident Evil audience.
Firebreak I think was their attempt to monetize the IP, but oof, it's just not fun. I feel like they could have gone more "friend slop" in tone and been much more successful. Imagine a game loop like Repo or Lethal Company, but set in the Oldest House, interacting with weird, goofy phenomena. Instead it's a very dry shooting experience wrapped in a very dry upgrade system. I want to support them, but it feels like work to play this game...
The problem is that they kept propping things up and mitigating losses from those with wealth, i.e. protecting boomers.
Recessions hurt, but they are historically a natural method of wealth redistribution. In a recession, people with stuff lose much more than the people without stuff, and then on the way back out the people without stuff now have a better chance to capture some of that wealth.
Same for war. Historically speaking.
Covid wasn't a "bubble".
Or if it was, it was all the over investment in entertainment and productivity tools. In which case, that popped around 2023 when everything got cancelled and RTO layoffs started.
More accurately, PCs are becoming consoles, but yes, they want to converge it all into a locked down hardware as a service industry.
The "paid more to work less" part is not tenable. The games that fit that bill that you're thinking of represent less than 1% of their peers. They are outliers, not a sustainable industry; the exception, not the rule. For every Silksong there are maybe 100 that make just enough to make ends meet, and 1000 duds that will never pay for themselves that you've never heard of.
What you're saying is you want fewer steady incomes and more lottery winners. Sure, that'd be nice, but it's not a sustainable strategy.
Ex. Wildgate launched recently. They deliberately opted to sell the game for a flat $30 rather than going F2P/P2W. As a result, they regularly get reviewed negatively by people saying "dead game, greedy devs won't lower the price to compete with F2P games" and "the cosmetics you unlock by playing look better than the ones you can buy" (yes, there are people unironically posting those as negative reviews).
So at least understand why the most common strategy is often exploitative, and why it's actually not a simple solution that a bunch of armchair experts have figured out in a comments section.

Isn't Overwolf's business model literally monetizing and profiting from modding communities? Curseforge and Overwolf are the epitome of enshittification.
