  Its so old the references go right past them but give them something to look up if they want to feel like they know something others their age dont, and if not you just enjoy the funny scenes and the funny movie that has actual humor instead of “well that just happened” quips.

  The last person that i explained the constant cycle of human nature to rise out of spite and fall due to hubris to said,
  “Im glad you told me that, cause its really interesting, but i dont know what to do now that i know that.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha yeah but profits must only go up so all the casinos would just pivot to something else. Sociopaths would never accept a 10% margin even on that large of a pool of money. Thats restaurant margin territory and you dont see the mafia running many legitimate restaurants for the income.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta get the money from the poors somehow, and someone with skill might win it back if its allowed to be skill based.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine you are a boomer who has had a near infinite money glitch but its only ever been cost of living plus 10%. You always have that spare cash but it doesnt get above 10% extra. Its a boring amount and you want to be actually rich.

  Now you could squirrel it away and actually save that money but thats boring when what you could do is gamble it every month cause maybe it will make you have a huge amount of money (which it wont) out of just pure luck and you didnt need it cause your basic costs were always covered so you never thought of saving it or giving it to anyone else other than corpos.

  Now add people who also know they wil never have the money glitch who want to be as secure and see boomers making a small return acting like it was worth it and they decide if they gamble the few dollars they have they will finally get a return that saves them from poverty (it wont).

  Congrats you now understand it hopefully.

  Glad they cut that video right as the guy jumping from bed to trampoline was about to bounce right out of it onto the road.

  So i dont see Sonic Racing mentioned much.

  Its one of the other things i use to relax after Silk Song and i find it really interesting. Its not a clone of mario kart in that each car legit feels like it drives differently. And you have to play smart but can also play wildly because of the insane items and shortcuts.

  I think it reminds me of Gran Turismo but with mario kart items. And Sonic music. I dont know if i just wanted something different and i am giving it more credit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 28th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been procrastinating and exploring every nook and cranny of that world. Its amazing how much it feels real and lived in. Like they have the whole thing figured out down to why some screws are more rusted than others.

  I am so reluctant to start act 3 cause i already struggled with the first funeral. Its gonna break me i just know it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Travel back to the days of cable TV with Blippo+, a time-hopping FMV game about... I'm not entirely sure, actually⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was originally aired weekly on a schedule like real TV for that gameboy with a crank looking console, Playdate.

  That console constantly feels like arts thesis projects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real easy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, kind of exactly the nightmare of a “writing system”. Its a dare to try to explain it in less than 10 words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Travel back to the days of cable TV with Blippo+, a time-hopping FMV game about... I'm not entirely sure, actually⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. There is an overarching story happening if you want to pay attention but they just recorded a bunch of absurdist content and charge you to watch it in their own software.

  Its like a streaming platform where you literally have to watch the previous episode to get the next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Travel back to the days of cable TV with Blippo+, a time-hopping FMV game about... I'm not entirely sure, actually⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its about watching FMVs made by the team that made Thank Goodness you’re Here.

  Essentially you are paying a one time fee to the weirdest streaming platform ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much grams?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Terrifying enough it is both. You measure in grams as a fraction of ounces until you get to an ounce and then you measure in those until you get to pounds unless its so much that you move back to kilograms.

  Joint = 1 gram
  1/8th = 3.5 grams
  1/2 = 14 grams

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real easy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Try reading Japanese without kanji and see how rough it get with all the homophones.

  They have 3 alphabets and its called a “writing system” because of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember episodic gaming? Former Telltale devs are bringing it back for the release of Dispatch, and there's a chance it might work this time | Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Telltale games were just like that. Its episodes in that each section has an arc and usually a cliffhanger of an ending.

  Its part marketing and part way to keep everyone interested and feeling like they get the story at the same time. Its meant to feel like TV where you had control of the story to some degree but it continues forward no matter what.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Got This Right, Right?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL.

  Boomers complaining people are “turning left” cause their kid asked if Jesus really meant it when he said to feed the poor and treat others with human decency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Got This Right, Right?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably a libertarian. Non party affiliated has been growing as people arent into fascist Republicans vs fiscal conservative policy and they dont want to be a Democrat in those states.

  I know we have this, you are one party of the other thing but i think the “others” is gonna get bigger as a group and already has.

  “mildly”

  Yeah thats why it feels so visceral. Just mild.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US panel releases over 33,000 pages of Epstein files⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You know whats infuriating?

  How many cameras there were supposed to be active in this high security prison that for some reason had an outage and left us with only 1 angle that doesnt even actually show the door, entrance, or cell block Epstein was in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Cherry - Hollow Knight: Silksong will be $20 USD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im laughing at how many games changed their launch window away from silksong and instead are going against BL4.
  For some reason people arent seeing competition in Randy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Cherry - Hollow Knight: Silksong will be $20 USD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im gonna bet it was the Mantises cause that was like the great filter boss fight and ridiculously hard. That wall grab ability negates a lot of developers puzzles so i kind of get making sure you can fight the creatures you will find after.
  Im hoping for a bit more fluid fighting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Cherry - Hollow Knight: Silksong will be $20 USD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Name the last metroidvania that was that themed and had good fight mechanics before hollow knight?

  Cause axiom verge had been like a 100% clone of metroid and Dust came out in 2012 almost a decade earlier.
  Hollow Knight was for a lot of people their first Metroidvania that tried to create its own thing and stuck to openworld of metroidvanias while letting you use different mechanics to move forward to bot make it linear.

  Its beloved cause its honestly a rare game type.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does AI need to be perfect to replace jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can easily overwork devs, and while their salary is higher than others a difference between 60k and 120k salaries is less than 60 employees to do manual work and 15 to automate it.

  Plus when devs create a digital item that can generate a profit nearly indefinitely they are viewed as cost productive to MBA types. Versus janitors where for some reason we dont see a value at all in cause of no immediate profit from their position.
