You underestimate my level of cynicism at this point. You also underestimate my disrespect for the average gamer. If they’re not lapping up one form of propaganda, they’re lapping up another.

I’m not sure how much I should care. I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game in decades anyway. They don’t make anything I need, so it’s not like it’s an inconvenience to boycott.

Ubisoft better get comfortable with not owning their own company.

He probably has blackmail on some producer. They probably have the same blackmail on him. They’ve probably been to the same Epstein parties and if not Epstein, someone else’s parties.

Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see

Some say that’s statutory (But I say it’s mandatory)

I don’t think politicians have actually solved any issues in a while.

Marathon (1994) has several call outs to the player when the AI giving you mission briefing calls the PC out for not caring and just wanting to shoot things. There’s a lot of meta commentary in that series.

There was a fairy large era of macs that were way more open to customization then windows. Probably still true because Microsoft has gotten a lot more aggressive about locking down their os and the average gamer has no clue how to install mods if it isn’t from the Steam workshop.

Sell your soul and go into digital marketing.

The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc… being an accident is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn’t tell anyone?

Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.

If there’s a house shoe theory for eugenics, you’d be the poster child.

I didn’t make fun of China for being a surveillance state. I was terrified for the citizens for China being a surveillance state. Same with the UK.

If more Christians would read the bible, there’d be less Christians.

I stopped playing TF2 when I kept getting popups about having too many unopened loot crates or some shit.

They aren’t a teacher anymore. The system crushed him and he left.

I had a friend who tried sticking up for his students when the school’s Zero Tolerance Drug Policy™ meant that they couldn’t carry epipens around them. The Principal’s defense when he was told he was he was going to get sued for a wrongful death was “I’ve been sued before”. My friend was let go the following year and didn’t have the energy to sue.

Considering the overall state of the US, I don’t think my anecdotes are exactly exceptions. Everything I’ve feared would happen is happening.

I got lied to about my placement tests for no one’s gain. I got stone walled and gaslighted every time I tried improving my situation.

The most passion I ever heard from a teacher the was a rightwing asshole in my civics class when he was complaining about immigrants or welfare queens. My science teacher had to be asked directly about climate change for him to utter his take on that.

I got screwed at every step of my education. The passion gets ground out of them without them realizing.

oh, they definitely don’t care about the kids. They care about getting arrested or sued.
