  I don’t buy anything from EA, but I’m curious: Is it difficult to acquire their games via the high seas?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[NSQ] What are you actually looking forward to this year?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lotta good broadway shows coming to Kansas City on tour.

  Going to probably travel to NYC to see more of them, and visit some old friends I haven’t seen in a couple of years.

  Road tripping to see my nieces senior costume showcase at her college.

  Going to announce a few national roller derby tournaments probably.

  Should be an okay year.

  I am exceedingly proud to say I always opposed the war on terror and the war in Iraq, and I was right. In the fall of 2001 I had people threatening me for refusing to stand for the anthem at the Mizzou/Texas game, but even then, it was clear where the US was going and I was ashamed of the university’s failure to address discrimination against Muslim students in the wake of 9/11. (I forget the exact number, but I’m pretty sure it was 47 who ended up leaving campus for good.)

  And partly why I hate Democrats so much is that, not only did they go along with the Iraq War, but they had all the power they needed to punish Republicans for creating an illegal war, and all they did was stand to the side and let Dubya and his cronies revise history.

  The French have also won the vast majority of battles and wars they’ve fought throughout their history, with a handful of notable exceptions.

  And Americans can’t be bothered to read history books. It’s easier to just repeat memes that sound good to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some ways to fight for socialism from the comfort of your room?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t necessarily have to use the word ‘socialism’ to support socialist policies, so that could work.

  And yes, while there are smaller platforms like Peertube, they’re just not widely used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some ways to fight for socialism from the comfort of your room?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ones that come to my mind are:

  • 1. Donate to socialist groups and causes, especially ones based in your local community. (Food banks, libraries, arts organizations, community legal funds, or individual mutual aid requests.)
  • 2. You can phone bank for socialist politicians in order to help them get elected. You don’t have to be a local to do this. I recommend Kat Abughazaleh.
  • 3. If you have a skill that can be used remotely from within the home, consider volunteering it to socialist organizations.
  • 4. You can create socialist content, but understand that your stuff is going to be algorithmically-repressed to some degree on any corporate-owned social media.

  Also I’m making it a point to help small accounts where I can this year, so if you reply to this with your channel, I’ll go throw you some likes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best day and time to post a YouTube video weekly?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The conventional wisdom says that mid-day on weekdays is the best time to upload.

  That’s wild to me, but good info to know.

  I’m glad that feature’s int here for you, in that case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much money should one person realistically make or have?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My number is between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. It’s enough to live off investment income in a 4% down market, and that’s all I will realistically need to have a comfortable life without having to touch the nest egg itself. Psychologically, there is no difference between having $10,000,000 and a billion, so it would seem to me that the upper limit of need is $10,000,000.

  As soon as I hit 2-3 million I will retire, no matter how old I am.

  As far as ‘life changing’ goes, I was fortunate to have a few thousand to invest when the market tanked in 2020. Those few thousand turned into $35,000, which I used to pay off my student loans and put a down payment on a condo. It wasn’t fuck you money, but definitely life changing.

  I wanted to like it but I hate the partying mechanic so much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TG Sims me with its banger of s demo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s good to know. I built my first structure the other day: a log cabin. The roof is butt ugly, but I’m proud of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I REALLY like Enshrouded. Played about eight hours of it over the last two weeks, but liked it so much I’ve decided to put it down until full release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good so far. I’m doing a lot of the side quests, but the prologue was good without being unduly difficult, and did force me to think a little creatively.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, the launcher is now optional and there’s an offline mode. My biggest annoyance was that, when I launched it the first time, it played an ad for the new game featuring the main voice actor.

  I wouldn’t be playing it otherwise. They added a Dark Souls-esque invasion mode where you can jump into other people’s games as a zombie, and I HATE that mechanic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dishonored 2 is awesome. You’re in for a treat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think 3 was the last one I played too. Amazing game, but they feel like Madden or Dynasty Warriors to me. There just isn’t enough difference between the various entries to make it interesting for me, so I never bought any of the newer ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Love that we’re all finding cool stuff we forgot about in our backlogs and saving money this year. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard a lot of good about NMS. I’ll have to give it a try sometime.

  It’s just a platitude.

  The left would 100% get away with any and all of this.

  It’s worth every penny even at full price.

  All keys have been claimed, but, Origins is really really good. You’ll probably be able to get it super cheap in the steam sale here in a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free PC Game Keys to Give Away (Merry Christmas!)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, just giving away stuff I’m never going to use. Hopefully it’s a fun time for you!
