  Yep.

  It’s also about control. Maybe it didn’t start that way, but Xbox absolutely wanted to get people into their ecosystem with gamepass and the deals, and then keep them there.

  I’m so tired of these shitty underhanded practices.

  I just want to buy a PC/console/handheld and then be able to go and purchase a game that I OWN. Whether physical or digital, the fact that ownership is even a question when we have hundreds of ways to verify digital ownership, is insane.

  These companies built a shitty world and they’re finally paying a slight bit for it.

  Nah gamepass is fundamentally flawed and it capped out well below their projections for a very simple reason they didn’t consider.

  Games are long, you can’t binge 3 games a day. You might finish one a month, hell most people will finish one game every 2 months.

  A subscription service for things where one of said things can take 20-100 hours doesn’t make any sense.

  That’s letting alone the cannibalization of their own sales, a total lack of ownership for anyone exclusively on gamepass so they’re never really committed, and you have a recipe for complete and utter mediocrity.

  Fucking hysterical how everyone was celebrating Asha Sharma and Xbox a month or two ago, even though SHE LITERALLY SAID 1,600 CUTS ARE ON THE WAY.

  This is because their AI bet fucking failed, and so did gamepass.

  Yet the only ones hurt are Devs, the gamers, and potentially IPs people adore.

  What a shit timeline this is.

  Again, claiming to not take a side when we can all see with our eyes that genocide is taking place, is in fact taking a side.

  Ignoring something IS a stance, I hate to be the one to apparently burst this bubble for you, but you can’t just opt out of life and claim things don’t matter to you.

  You’re giving me the “I don’t do politics and that’s fine” argument.

  Politicians literally dictate our entire lives and silence in the face of political injustice isn’t JUST a stance, it’s downright cowardice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ed Sheeran’s latest foot in the mouth moment…⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You do realize ed absolutely had the power to stand with Macklemore. He chose not to. Ed chose to support the genocide.

  Macklemore is being nice, as friends generally are.

  Ed Sheeran could not play this entire tour, and live the rest of his life financially stable and then have wealth leftover for his family’s family.

  Dude who doesn’t even need it, chose the genocide.

  I’m not buying this bullshit anymore. Human lives over money, every single time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks, doc⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I literally almost died because paxil wasn’t something I could even take and it was giving me serotonin syndrome.

  2 years on now, after the test, found a far better drug with no side effects for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the lunacy of the absurd job application finally puts you over the edge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry we didn’t understand the instructions, we hired an AI now to read resumes now.

  In other news hiring has been tough lately :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the lunacy of the absurd job application finally puts you over the edge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We let it die and made commercial systems to sell to companies instead claiming to streamline HR.

  We constantly leave good systems behind because some chucklefuck wants to monetize something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the lunacy of the absurd job application finally puts you over the edge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We did, it’s called a resume

  Flat lands are like the liminal spaces of lands

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They published Interstellar?!?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s like, your opinion man.

  Interstellar is a great movie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#StopPayingGames⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this vague and undefined thing you keep claiming both companies are doing?

  You can’t act smarter than the room then peacock when someone calls you out and provide absolutely zero substance.

  Either defend your argument or let everyone see that you’re full of shit. Doesn’t matter either way to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#StopPayingGames⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Care to elaborate?

  Or just want the headline bs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#StopPayingGames⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If buying is not ownership, piracy is not stealing.

  Fuck em.

  Just leave. Humans were alive before Snapchat and they’ll be alive when it’s dead as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair. W

  hat more powerful motivator than the common rich folk being subject to an entirely different life, government, justice system, etc?

  Hopefully people wise up that class warfare never ended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the French revolution would like a word with you.

  Also rich bad. It’s demonstrably true that rich people are completely disconnected from reality and will step on anyone to maintain their wealth.

  It is not all of them, but it is most of them. History has always seen class warfare and this time is not different .
