the big thing i keep coming back to with this pablo/clippers story is how many people were desperate to believe a billionaire wasn’t doing something dubious — to the point it was seemingly negatively affecting their own actions and treatment of others. we gots a lot of work to do.

if you dont want this you're feeble of spirit and mind

Players will have to take care of GTA 6's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, as eating will affect their weight, working out will visibly change their build and strength, and a lack of sleep will negatively impact their features. https://bit.ly/4d3mI5z

Yeah cause you could have just bought the games and said nothing.

Simple question Am i suddenly a corpo boot licker for not wanting to pirate a $30 game on ps5? Am i a bootlicker for not wanting to participate in fighting for gamer rights, even though i care about our rights? The game in question is the recently added grounded 2, $30 alone is a good deal

Can anyone tell me why the American people are so paralyzed, impotent, or just stupid? Who doesn't understand our government is a crime syndicate? Who doesn't understand the law is dead? Who doesn't understand fascism is here and it's going to get worse? The American people are flaccid. Why?

I feel like the kids who did poorly in science and history class are trying to get revenge on the kids who did well at science and history class and now we’re all going to die

Ossoff on why he invoked Natalie Harp during his speech: "We're in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives ... and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself"

I don’t even like Eminem like that but this is killing me. Cause following that line with “like a sprained ankle I ain’t nothing in to play with” would’ve sent me into a blind rage if I was a Em fan

I remember saying “the fuck you are” to that track he did with Eminem and Lil Wayne where he pulled a “last name ‘greatest’” line.

Police were killing people in the streets and have killed more people every year since, and what some are mad about after all these years and police funding still taking up large parts of city budgets, is that they had to use someone’s preferred pronouns. Beyond parody how much of a joke this is.

finally reading the Atlantic piece on “Woke 1” and it’s interesting how even in their attempt to list the movement’s sins they struggle to identify anything significant

The term is even older than that but that’s besides the point YALL SOUND CRAZY AS FUCK SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT “WOKE 1”

there are plenty of good reasons to criticize modern rockstar games but sometimes i see stuff like “red dead 2 is bad because it doesn’t require any skill” and man that mindset is so foreign to me

I’ve been waiting for smart people to realize that we don’t have to explain ourselves to idiots.

A new medical study says there is a link between an increase in minutes played in the games before an Achilles tear and a player suffering that injury. The NBA said that no relationship exists, according to its own internal research. Free to read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...

They talk about Covid like Fauci was the president

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

PolarBair, Ehrgeiz Understander@polarbair.neocities.org

firm believer that you don't need to 100% have fun with a game at all times to enjoy it overall or have a good time. this has become a common mindset and it's a part of why modern gaming is in the state it is.

Elden Ring almost got me but then I was like “why am I getting my shit rocked in this when I could be getting my shit rocked in apex”. I don’t mind losing over and over again but ive never been compelled to do so in the Soulslike.

Following up “nobody cares” with a long as thread is so funny like maybe atleast one person does care

thing about “you should just play old games and ignore new ones” is i don’t feel like that argument gets made with other art forms by anyone worth taking seriously

Kinda weird how much of video game PR and marketing right now is promising people who's only personality trait is that they are always angry about everything that they will be less angry in 5-7 years.

Games discourse is filled with media personalities and regular ppl people who haven’t engaged earnestly with the platform in well over a decade.

Isn't it fun how indie game dev involves investing all of your free time and any spare money you have for like five years to make a unique and creative interactive experience, and then people get mad if you charge more than half the cost of a pizza? Surely we will save the games industry this way.
