- Comment on Interesting logic 5 days ago:
alien doesn’t necessarily mean sapient, humanoid or even anything larger than a walnut. if you took life on earth as a sample of the universe it would be much more likely for an alien lifeform to be a plant or bacteria. and even an animal is more likely to be an insect than a mammal-like animal, much less anything humanoid.
(someone should look into the numbers my source is just vague memory at this point)

god that short lived series was hilarious. very unfortunate that the creator turned out to be a proper cunt.

no it’s the customers. though once we ridiculed Bethesda for horse armor, people now fork over 20, 40, 100 dollars for a fucking skin. I’m sorry is an overwatch skin supposed to be worth a third of a full game? yeah I bet it took two years to develop it.

each of them doing what they’re capable of. the kkk used to have a lot of power. dawkins is just a misogynistic, transphobic nerd. it’s all circumstance. full time hating can lead to a lot of places. for bitches like him it’s mostly trying to get others to do the dirty work.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 1 week ago:
well you can find them on social media on women instead.
or look at a popular one like Dawkins who is busy being a transphobe nowadays. imagine being an atheist and wasting the remainder of your precious and only life trying to make the precious and only life of the most marginalized people in society even worse.
or sam harris who literally defended torture.

you mean “god bless you”
- Comment on Have you said Thank You once? 2 weeks ago:
you’re so bad at this too… you know probably the biggest evidence for the existence of a god is that every loud advocate for atheism is invariably an obnoxious, unfuckable shit who doesn’t know how to engage any conversation like a human being. mysterious ways and all.
- Comment on Have you said Thank You once? 2 weeks ago:
yeah that’s exactly what I said. damn, you really eviscerated me with facts and logic.
I can smell your fedora from here.
- Comment on Have you said Thank You once? 2 weeks ago:
oh god r/atheism is leaking. I didn’t even say that in any seriousness, just think it’s a funny phrase. but either way you’re unbearable. do you go into tirades when people say bless you after sneezing? ugh.
- Comment on Have you said Thank You once? 2 weeks ago:
agreed, and i don’t even engage with it so I don’t really give a shit but Hannah Fry had an interesting yt short about this.
she said you might wanna say please and thank you while talking to these [affronts to God] not to be spared when they take over or whatever but because what they’re doing is roleplaying. eg. you ask them a question like a Shakespeare character and they’ll respond in kind.
so probably saying please and thank you will encourage them to roleplay as someone who tries to help more enthusiastically.
I wouldn’t do it myself; just thought it’s interesting.

oh no not the expansion to the game no one even remembers
dude they shut down monolith and canceled the only game with a nemesis system we were going to play. nothing they do is newsworthy anymore. they were always shitty but now they’re also completely pointless.

- Comment on Skill issue 3 weeks ago:
even mechanics can be unintentionally political. there was a really cool errant signal video years ago talking about civilization games. it was mostly about what the games idea of a “civilization” is and how the win conditions reinforced the idea that one civilization has to be the superior one to rule them all…
but also these ideas were further reinforced by the way barbarians were depicted. that word already has baggage but the interesting thing is that in civ4 they share a banner with wildlife. like, they’re almost like animals or natural disasters and not people at all.
what conservatives don’t understand is that you can think about things like this and acknowledge what they mean and still enjoy the game and or understand why these choices were made. they’re not necessarily political choices as much as they’re mechanical, but that doesn’t mean we can’t think about what mechanical choices might mean to the player, or what messages they send. if video games are art, they can—and I would say must—be critiqued.
fear of change is at the core of conservatism, and that drives their utter aversion to introspection, and also to criticism of things and people they like. and vice versa, they can’t bring themselves to appreciate any part of anything they don’t like. if they like a person they can do no wrong. if they like a game it must be perfect. if they dislike a song it’s the harbinger of the fall of civilization (ooh look at me bringing it full circle).
in a world of absolutes, there can be no discussion. don’t ask me to think about things please. leave your thoughts and opinions out of my fun time, lest my views get challenged. this is what’s funny about the likes of ben shapiro pretending that they have the facts while liberals are too emotional. their entire world view is based on their feels, and their arguments follow those as justification.

if you think about it, in tetris once you fit perfectly you get destroyed. but if you don’t you eventually help each other get to the top. maybe it’s a caution against conformity.

“a man who hates an animal” made me laugh so hard
- Comment on Skill issue 3 weeks ago:
I’m glad, because you’re talking nonsense.
what you’re referring to is a time when you were a kid and didn’t realize the politics. now you’re aware of it and are acting like it’s new. this is just illiteracy.
- Comment on Skill issue 3 weeks ago:
because you think of “I never get laid” as a normal human need to connect with another person, which is what it is but they’re too deep in misogyny to realize it. instead to them getting laid is a quest to complete and it involves a quest item known as a woman, not a character. so I never get laid has less of an undertone of “why can’t I connect with a woman” and more of “when will we get our government mandated sex slaves”
- Comment on Skill issue 3 weeks ago:
this literally has nothing to do with the game itself. it’s about behavior towards other people, which is intently political.
also video games are art which makes them political as well.
the fact that you kneejerked into this reaction feels super insecure and reactionary.

try envigorated. I don’t know if you watch let’s plays at all, but me I mainly do it with games that I’ve finished but can’t play again with the knowledge I already have. great puzzle and mystery solving games like obra dinn, the witness, etc. or games with amazing twists like prey… some things you can’t live through twice, but you can witness the joy in others when they do it for the first time. that’s why I do it. with kids, it’s literally everything.
you should watch the Love Death and Robots episode Pop Squad.
