Now this might sound a bit dramatic just based on the title.

But over the past few years I have noticed that some of you don't really seem to be enjoying the games you are playing. Yet you still keep going.

- Some talk about feeling burnout trying to 100% open world games.

- Some talk about feeling stress or fomo from not having time to play all the big new titles.

- And some just seem to not enjoy most modern games anymore.

And theres probably other/better examples as well.

So my question is, do you have an unhealthy relationship with games? And if so, why do you keep going?

PlanetSmasher awfully quiet since this thread dropped

She 100% dumped his ass already.

I vaguely recall a recent post saying he had an extra ticket to a movie or something, so being dumped seems pretty likely.

The thing that's crazy to me is that era keeps making these trump threads and posting the same exact things in each of them. Don't they get sick of it? It's the same whiny bullshit day in and day out. And we're stuck on this train till mid terms anyway. Why make yourselves miserable all the time? 

People were getting mad at Conan O’Brien for saying comedians going after Trump nonstop disarms them of any humor, and drags them into his world. It’s ostensibly Trump winning by being in your head 24/7.

There was that post a couple weeks ago where a guy in the UK lamented how he couldn’t eat a salad and exercise because of…gaza.

When even was the last “cum” post in this thread?

Still hilarious when stuff like this happens to Trump:

Because is clear that while he likes the attention, he despises being called out. 

This is the stuff that people should prop rather than bitch (or worse, believe) when he says something stupid at True Social.

I seriously believe all these billionaire tech CEOs became extreme right-wingers after having their midlife crisis and getting over-zealous TRT treatments, leading to divorce of their left-leaning spouses.

Name the billionaire tech CEOs that are extreme right-wingers. Jeff Bezos isn't one, so you'll have to go with another name.  

For America and Israel it very much is the point of this whole exercise. They're not interested in democracy, they just want vassal states that serve their regional goals. And it’s funny people are talking about this on the eve of Venezuela's "liberation". Trump unironically proclaiming himself as the "acting president" of Venezuela should speak enough as to whats on the horizon for Iran. Syria? Liberation that involves giving up sovereign land to Israel to add to its ever growing borders. Venezuela handing over its assets and industries and so on, this is just repackaged imperialism with a shitty veneer that most can see through.

I was commenting specifically on Reza's constant propping up, but yes I 100% agree with you. Two things can be true. Iranian people deserve to live freely, as do Palestinians and other oppressed peoples. I just get tired of the selective narratives where concerned Westerners are rushing to justify it with how oppressed women are in Iran while ignoring the tens of thousands of dead women directly murdered by the state of Israel. Not only ignoring them, but then letting said murderous state champion their opposition leaders.

This dude has totally lost his mind, demanding everyone else make perfect the enemy of good or else. The Assad regime falling is apparently a criminal Western plot everyone should bitch about and condemn because Israel took advantage of a power vacuum to grab a sliver of land for a bigger buffer. Nobody should want women in Iran freed until Israel stops trying to bomb Hamas out of existence. Oh, you're hungry and are going to eat dinner? Well maybe think about trans women starving in Gaza first you Western Zionist piece of shit.

 User Banned (1 Month): Xenophobic Commentary

In France, this majority vote by EU member states has provoked consternation and anger among farmers. Repulsive meat, pumped full of hormones and fed antibiotics and GMO soy—banned in the EU and in France—is set to flood our markets. This will constitute unfair competition and spell the end of the French model, which is focused on quality and adherence to the highest health and environmental standards.

Macron's procrastination and belated awakening have prevented effective opposition to this agreement, which serves only the interests of Germany and the Nordic countries.

To this must be added the shameful machinations of the German President of the European Council, Ursula von der Leyen, who is doing everything she can to circumvent the European Parliament's vote through legally questionable means in order to finalize the agreement as quickly as possible. A legal challenge has been filed with the EU's Court of Justice. A motion of censure should be tabled against Von der Leyen to overthrow her and her questionable methods.

I agree with him. Bringing back the Fairness Doctrine and expanding the FCC's (a body appointed by the two main political parties with statutory party balance mandated) purview to all speech would definitely see it struck down as a First Amendment violation and possibly open up the Court to finally start to rid us of the remainder of the FCC. I'd love another own goal by the speech censors like Citizens United.

For the record, the Fairness Doctrine was rarely enforced because rather than spend the money to comply most stations simply stopped airing political issues programming. Good luck getting the genocide or whatever anti-fascist stuff you want on the air. Remember when we weren't supposed to platform Trump/Nazis/etc.? Now he wants it legally mandated that everyone platform Trump or anti-vaxxers.

Apparently her stupid novels massively influenced staffers on the Reagan Administration. The current administration is just that on steroids really.

The craziness is that she railed against social programs yet was kept alive by them in her old age.

Her philosophies also helped decimate unions, worker protections, etc. what a generational villain.

He's right, Reagan increased spending too.

[benji]

I've read Atlas Shrugged, I really disliked it, and I can't hate her over it. I get that she left a country rife with corruption as a child then came to America and got hit with both barrels of propaganda meant to tell you that you could trust in the leaders of industry, that the big corporations were paving the way to a great big beautiful tomorrow.

 

1. She left the Soviet Union at 21.
2. The books paint big corporations as the villains working together with the state to thwart the actual leaders of industry/artists/etc.
3. The Soviet Union wasn't "corrupt" it was socializing things as intended.
4. She absolutely didn't trust real world leaders of industry because they didn't understand proper aesthetics.

MAGA movement kinda took the steam from both people learning about her and supporting her ideas, and people hating her. Before MAGA there was a lot of Who is John Galt bullshit like tee shirts and bumper stickers, don't see much of it now. It's all just been morphed into the MAGA movement

They literally do not support the same things.

As far as hating Ayn Rand herself more, she's faded out of public conscience. Realistically if it wasn't for Bioshock and Ron and Rand Paul, I doubt we'd have talked about her in the last 3 decades at all.

The latter two aren't Randians though. Both are overt Christians for one thing.

the first JKR level fan fiction writer.

 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Thread doesn't know that Rand rejected libertarianism and the entire Objectivist movement condemns it because it's not totalitarian. Rand's position was that true freedom came from duty to correct thought. She was against socialism because she saw the Soviets attempt to implement it under Lenin. If she hadn't started from a liberal framework she would have been just another totalitarian but because of that there's a constant thread throughout her work that constantly bumps up against advocacy for state coercion but she was smart enough to realize this and so seemed to suggest a system of enforcement through snarky shaming.

But her fiction is dogshit outside of We, The Living. It's just bad writing though, not because of the ideology. (And for the record, the non-fiction is mostly dogshit too.)

edit: Also, she wasn't "kept alive" by Social Security or Medicare. (Other posts in the thread continue this line.) She was a millionaire. It's literally in line with her selfishness theorizing to get back in relation to what she was forced to pay in, why should she forego money she was being offered just because she thought it shouldn't be confiscated in the first place?

The thing that's crazy to me is that era keeps making these trump threads and posting the same exact things in each of them. Don't they get sick of it? It's the same whiny bullshit day in and day out.

Yeah, for real, who does that?

Anyway, you guys, I think RE might be run by a bunch of hypocrites, lemme quote a mod post real quick

[benji]

She had a partner??? Sounds like Gramps is a homophobe who wants his five minutes of fame.

yeah it sure does

This is homophobic bullshit that minimises and dismisses Renee Good's wife, who was in the car with her when she was shot dead.

Don't fall for this shit.

Her partner may not be a legal guardian.

The partner not having legal guardianship is different than him having "no one in his life". That phrasing is specifically is what is suspect.

Could also be a custody battle thing in not wanting to acknowledge the step parent as an actual parent so the kid goes to a biological family member, sad either way

good point. Though Good's mother is still alive so it's also not even true. My guess is this is the father's side of the family which is why it's probably messy but like why lie in a situation like this dude? It's just kinda scummy.

her wife is still alive

please stop spreading this homophobic trash

That's quite the leap of an assumption based on nothing.

It really isn't. Why the hell would he say the kid has no one when she has a whole-ass widow AND her mother is still alive??? It's a complete falsehood and there's a long history of queer partners being erased by their deceased partner's families. Even if it isn't driven by homophobia it's a weird way to be centering himself in the face of the facts.

I understand where you are coming from, but this isn't really super uncommon with stepparents. Not all stepparents adopt the child of their partner. The child may actually have no one for all we know. I say this without knowing all the details of their relationship and how custody/adoption was handled when she married her now widowed partner. While it is a totally understandable assumption to make, and even I did a double take, we really don't know (I don't think?) what type of parental rights the stepparent has. If the widowed partner is actually not a stepparent, I apologize. I'm just assuming based on the framing of the father passing in 2023.

You're missing the point. The child is not alone. That is it. Legal guardianship and all that shit does not matter here.

The thing is that this is missing the forest for the trees. We absolutely don't know the details of the legal situation. But the Grandfather is framing it as the child literally having no one when we know that is not true. Regardless of the legal nature of their relationship, we do know that the child and the widow lived together. The child is not literally living alone. Furthermore, Good's mother (aka the child's grandmother) is also alive. So regardless of stepparent dynamics, the kid having no one else in his life is not true. Even if it's not due to homophobia, it's a very sus way to describe the situation with the other facts and really just makes it about himself.

This is an absolutely massive leap.

We have no idea what Renee's wife's relationship is with her child. We don't know anything about the personal lives of these people. I would agree it is an awkward statement to read at first glance, but immediately accusing Renee's father of being "homophobic trash" based on nothing ain't it.

We shouldn't be here trying to pick away at how Renee's family members are responding to her murder in the immediate aftermath. Life is complicated.

hey man, as a queer woman who has had to deal with a lot of other friends dealing with their extended families seeing their parentage as illegitimate? this ain't it

fuckin insane what era just lets slip by anymore

You're assuming a lot here. The most logical assumption here is that the grandfather was just trying to elicit sympathy for his grandchild that has now lost both of his parents. He also just lost his own daughter, he deserves some benefit of the doubt.

"there's nobody else in his life" is a verifiably false statement! what the fuck!

You're assuming a lot here. The most logical assumption here is that the grandfather was just trying to elicit sympathy for his grandchild that has now lost both of his parents. He also just lost his own daughter, he deserves some benefit of the doubt.

This isn't her father. This is her deceased ex's father. So you're also assuming some kind of relationship when there might not have been any recently or ever. But we do know that his statement also for some reason ignores the existence of Good's still living mother. It's just a sus thing to say when it's so demonstrably not true. That's why it sets off alarm bells. It's already a bad enough situation, there's no need to imply there's a child with literally no one else.

He's including himself in that statement. And who are you to criticize what a parent says to the media when their own child has just been murdered?

when someone says something pretty fucking sus, i don't really care when he says it. i'm gonna call it into question when the narrative seems fit to drive the wife entirely out of the picture and his statement only helps to serve that even further

if you're gonna post it, it's open for criticism. don't like it? don't post it

You didn't just question the quote or post criticism. You scolded the poster for posting it, as if your opinion on the quote is 100% correct and the grandparent being "homophobic trash" is a statement of fact.

The point is this: we do not know these people or their personal lives. It is a weird quote at first glance, but it's also a grandparent who just found out that his grandchild has now lost both of their biological parents. And even if Renee's wife is going to remain in the child's life moving forward, that doesn't change how hard it is to take in information like that.

The fact that the child is going to grow up without either of their parents is horrifying and sad and I think we should give a little grace to the grandparent who gave a single quote to a newspaper in the wake of finding out that information.

Come on, y'all. A woman is dead in a federally-sanctioned execution. We shouldn't be dissecting the personal lives of her or her family members like this.

Y'all didn't grow up queer with a disapproving family, and it shows.

This guy is not being slick. He's not couching his homophobia in any kind of subtly. He's outright dismissing the existence of the wife of his former daughter-in-law.

This is blatant, Grade A, Pure Spun, undiluted homophobia that any queer person with any experience of disapproving parents or family can spot from a million, billion miles away. That it is so plainly obvious to us, and so seemingly invisible to you, should be cause for introspection on your part.

I'd urge you all to read the words of this child's mother, the wife of the murder victim, and consider why you reflexively came to the defence of a homophobe while we clocked him instantly:

Also:

I really do not think America can come back from this.

    

Also also:

ICE is quickly becoming like supporting Israel. Politicians are going to be slow to the realization and it is going to lose elections for some of them.

They won't kill it but people are going to want to see changes.

Being anti-ICE and anti-genocide are absolute table stakes for every member of the democratic party going forward. Fuck anyone who thinks any of this shit is complicated and tries to fence sit, and fuck the tent that includes these people.

 

I know the other day I was confused about that Era thread where they were talking about the law limiting what Trump can do and thankfully reading the posts inbetween the above exchange helped me to learn otherwise:

All of this is so goddamn disgusting. They clearly lie on all accounts, they brand her a "domestic terrorist" and make the murderer a victim, all against multiple, various very clear videos proving all their shit wrong, and yet nobody can do anything, and every of their instances just continues the obvious lie.

And Trump already knows how great this is for him. He can finally allow ICE and other grunts deadly force with intent. He can frame _anyone_ as a domestic terrorist force, not "only" black or brown people, and it works just fine. Truth not only doesn't matter anymore, evidence and reality don't either if you're judge, jury and executioner.
Oh and as a bonus, this completely destroys any news cycle around Epstein as well for a good long while.

They can absolutely do whatever the fuck they want. There is no limit anymore.

Unsurprisingly, the Trump administration is on the course to let Americans experience what Europeans endured under Hitler/Stalin/Mussolini etc.

I don't think MAGA understand how badly they're fucking up right now. You have people on The View saying we live in fascism and Ken Jennings calling for all members of the admin to be arrested by the next admin. The center seems to be disappearing.

Yeah, that might be true, but they're also setting the stage so that any opposition can be dealt with by sending in ICE and saying they had to deal harshly with the leftist terrorists.

So, let's say, there are elections and the process doesn't go as it's supposed to go, and people go to protest that?

This could be cope on my part, but it feels like the vast majority of GOP voter's plausible deniability completely revolves around "oh so every Republican is a vile Nazi who only strives to inflict as much cruelty as possible? Please be serious, the word Nazi loses all meaning, etc.."

Then when I see the narrative they are trying to run on this and it is so blatantly over the top disgusting that I feel like the answer to their rhetorical, "oh so everyone you disagree with is a fascist? Lol" can be pretty easily answered with yes now and you don't even appear like a hysterical radlib or whatever, even to normies.

If they don't want to be called Nazis then they shouldn't literally be Nazis

Yeah it does. And it sucks cause we're ALL gonna pay it. We're paying it now.

The other part of this that is so baffling is that a lot of people don't seem to have a very active imagination about how bad things could get. Ice is basically the president's personal police force. Trump behaves as if he is the most aggrieved man in the world, he's an acting policy, unchecked by Congress, or any other branch of government, so the only real way to push back on him is to vote out the representatives that are enabling his behavior. When we're two months out from the election, and he sees how bad his poll results are, what do you think he's gonna do with ice?Trump is desperate to continue to grift and make money and have unchecked power. What do you think he's going to do when he sees the chance that he may lose power?

I'll answer this for everyone that doesn't have an imagination- he's going to send ICE into areas that are blue, or purple like my state, and park them at polling places. Ice is already shooting people and disappearing people were congress and the Supreme Court just watch, do you think they'll actually do anything about ice camping out in front of voting booths to look for "criminals or gang members"?

The other thing that incident has shown is that 1/3 of our populace are absolute monsters. They have no problem with people being killed if it fits their political agenda. And that's really scary because for the most part these Maga folks are nothing but greedy nihilists. They don't believe in anything except that the world is unfair and they should have more and their commander-in-chief is the biggest greedy nihilist of them all.

Antifa / Domestic Terrorist is their buzz word for White People. This is the designation they will use to justify coming after you.

Also also also:

The degenerates on r/cons (at least those that aren't bots or russian trolls) are all posting on "fafo" and "this completely exonerates my fellow nazi."

It makes perfect sense though. This thin-skinned pig is living their fantasy of shooting the liberals who verbally humiliated them irl and the decent friends & family who've cut them out of their lives for being repulsive clansmen.

 

Did you expect something different? They're evil people down to their cores.

Nope, those shitheads are irredeemable human garbage. The only thing these vermin feel bad about it is that they were born too late to own slaves or participate in the holocaust. There is no bottom for the worms who are already under the barrel.

Also also also also: 

How anyone could read that or anything about Renee Good in general and still think "yeah she's a lefty terrorist, FAFO" is beyond saving

They should sue for slander honestly

 

Also also also also also:

The fact that the US government can murder an innocent civilian in broad daylight, and then defame her from the highest office in the land is beyond sickening and horrifying. Even more so that a decent chunk of the population believes the lies of the government uncritically despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
