  The solution is multi-factorial and will take a generation to implement. Expand the social safety net, expand public education to encompass critical thinking skills and researching skills, restrict private media monopolies that hold public consciousness in a deathgrip.

  If downvotes aren’t gatekeeping, then neither is saying Dark Souls is perfect the way it is and doesn’t need to be changed. Ultimately, I think we’re all picking a side on this one, and dont want to hear what the other has to say. Voting me down is your way of saying “I don’t want to see this kind of thing.” It can’t be hand-waved away as simple disagreement. There is an echo chamber at work here, it is somewhat nasty and honestly disheartening. Like when I make a joke about Miyazaki not wanting this (it is a joke after all) and everyone piles on the dislike; that’s the community trying to send me a message. And yes, I know that calling out downvoters makes them pile on more; I am proud to spit in ya’lls face. The discourse around difficulty is toxic on both sides and I hate it. Can’t even make a joke without bringing out the Defenders of the Casual or whatever. Vote me down some more, its exactly what I expect.

  Sometimes difficulty is inextricable from the art, and Dark Souls is a good example of that. When people say they want it easier they are missing the message. You SHOULD have to struggle to get what you want, you SHOULD have to pay attention to the game you’re playing instead of mindlessly hacking your way through only to forget bout it days later. If a game punishes impatience and hubris, you will be more immersed in an oppressive world, you will feel like a small part of a larger tragedy that transcends your typical hero fantasy. These are the things that make the game special, and Miyazaki and his team knew what they were doing. You are spitting on their vision and their talent when you say it should be different. Lies of P… I haven’t played it, and the devs can do whatever they feel is right to make the game they want to make.

  But you know, Starry Night is fine and all but its too dark and depressing. They should put some more yellow in there, really make it more accessible to the masses.

  Bro this is the LAST thing I expected to happen. Giant Bomb is dead, long live Giant Bomb. Fuck Ryan Davis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nice place to shop but sometimes gets sticky⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Chinese restaurant; its common round my area for chinese places to put a 1 in the title. Like “No. 1 Chinese Kitchen” which we lovingly call “No One Chinese Kitchen”

  Handjobs for the homeless, aint America the land of plenty?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesla protests are working.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know that the protest are to be given all the credit, as Tesla’s value was always inflated beyond reason. We’re seeing a correction here that was long overdue, its just Elons shitty behavior that’s catalyzed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OSHA is woke⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol OSHA is kinda corrupt but if they can keep asshole owners in line with threats then I’ll take it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds like a problem for them, not me.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I put in a week for around christmas, 30 days prior. My boss comes to me 2 weeks later and says “actually we have to do inventory that week so we need you to stay.” I asked, why dont we do it this week instead and was told essentially “this is when management needs it done” so I said cool do it without me. Came back from vacation, never got in trouble and actually got offered a raise like 1 month later lol. Place was fucking toxic tho so I left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The line will infinitely approach 0 but never get there. That is what credit is for. The rich will gladly let you borrow their vast wealth to buy the cars and the homes, and in exchange you will be their indentured servant for life. Win Win, economy go brrrrrrr…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which one are you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Microwave for 5 minutes at 70%, no mixing or flipping just fire and forget. Go play Slay the Spire while you wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't wash⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You should absolutely not wash your chicken, it is unnecessary and can splash bacteria around. Cook it to 165 F and youre 100% safe from bacteria.

  Games a fun Lunar Lander-like but its too easy. I got up to 15 Liters of poo and just held the button down. Could be an interesting challenge if you the screen didnt scroll back down and you had to get the powerups before you pass them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to those of you not very talkative / introverted, how do you survive the constant pressure and misunderstandings from coworkers and future employers to open up, talk more?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I consider myself an introvert, and I had to work hard to build that social muscle. Once its built though, you dont have to work as hard to maintain it, and people become less draining. Is it fair that extroverts dont have to work as hard to do this? No. But you have advantages they dont. It sounds like you need to either find a career where you dont need to work in a team (unlikely) or develop your social skills.

  Thats why I got a Convection Microwave. Best of both worlds!

  Yeah im def on the side of science communicators. Make real info accessible and fun especially for younguns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I go through phases like this, and its best to try other hobbies for awhile. When you feel that drive to play again, you will know.

  If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.
