  At least for me, the idea that a game might someday be unplayable for me doesn't stop me from wanting to enjoy it. I like multiplayer games, and I have neither the means nor interest to host my own servers for them. I've gotten far more than $40 worth of entertainment from Helldivers 2. I think games should stay accessible and not be killed when servers stop hosting, and be available to play offline. However, the lack of those things won't stop me from enjoying something now. I don't consider that money lost, it's spent, as long as I got an equivalent value of entertainment. I didn't set my money on fire, I've gotten hundreds of hours of fun, far more than $40 could buy me elsewhere. I expect to continue enjoying helldivers for years.

  You're absolutely right, that games shouldn't be killed when they're no longer supported, and that they should be playable offline and LAN. As things stand though, it's the same as spending money on an amusement park, or movie, or any other form of entertainment. If you're not going to be able to enjoy it without those things, that's your prerogative, but I think you could easily get your money's worth, especially compared to overpriced AAA competitors.

  Don't use tipped services if you're not going to tip. There are alternatives. You're offloading your "political action" at the expense of the worker, while the owners won't care. Support legislative change, don't use your politics as an excuse to harm the workers of a service you chose to use.

  There are leftist and progressive streamers making a lot of money. I would guess that more than half of streamers are not conservatives. Most successful streamers are very supportive of progressive causes and inclusivity.

  That wouldn't be crossing. Crossing is when you focus your eyes in front of the image. Wall-eyed is where you unfocus your eyes behind the image. Trying to look at your nose is crossing. The way you look at most magic eye images is wall-eyed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since we're doing magic eyes now...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't think so. When I cross my eyes, it looks correct. Wall-eyed viewing makes it look like a hole. Crossing your eyes makes them go inward. Wall-eyed makes them go parallel. They're created specifically for crossing eyes.

  It's my wife's favorite game. If you do play it, after leaving the starting area, enjoy the song. Don't beeline to the oak tree camp thing, it'll cut the music off unceremoniously.
