Amazon is such a fine model of socialism, just look at how they treat their workers.

That make sense. They work with code, not people. I'm in IT myself, but business software, not video games. If I wanted to talk to people, I would have gone into sales!

You've never heard of the Stalinist purges, Mao, or Pol Pot then? Pol Pot's people by capita put 2 of every 7 up against the wall. Is it better for the individual to have property rights and rule of law, however flawed, or not to have these?

Nihilism, got it.

I guess it's human nature to assume that when SHTF other people are doing the dying, not you? If civilization is trivial, what is non-trivial then?

I just can't get over the Vault-Tec started the war bit. Corporations certainly profit from non-nuclear wars, but wars are started by governments, not corporations. I watched about 20 minutes last night of the first episode and just got bored. The line that struck me was the Vault Overseer...

Care to elaborate? Are you saying he caters his videos to his fans? Are you saying he's farming views? Shocking! I can't decide if I should try the show, just can't get past the premise of the ending as I understand it. Being lectured on anti-capitalism by amazon has to be just about peak...

Who is a Fallout Tactics fan? Do those really exist? Seems like that would be a rare unicorn indeed.

I'm trying a game called Balatro. It's definitely unique compared to any game I've played before. It's kinda like a poker deckbuilder. There's many joker cards which you can discover which give different effects. It shows me I should never play poker for real money as I'm not that good at it.

I'm going to win by not watching the show at all, saving my time and frustration! Instead I'm going to waste that time reading and posting on forums or waiting for youtube reviews. Also, I already lost because we pay for Amazon Prime and we utilize the shipping. My wife won't let me cancel that...

If you go to Metacritic user reviews, they're polarized, like everything else these days. Many are 10s, really? The show is a perfect 10 you say? Also many 0s and 1s. All of these user review systems are corrupted by shills these days. I'm not saying I can tell what percentage are shills but...

Maybe Critical Drinker will review it. I'd enjoy 10 minutes of him bashing it. I can't get past the which might be the dumbest plot twist I've ever heard of. That's inexcusable. Shogun is a good show, it shows people can respect the source material, even today. But it's awfully rare.

If by people, you mean Hollywood, they've been doing that for decades now. Not surprising when some regular people do the same.

Marxist retcons - see 1619 project for a fabulous retcon of US History. See critical theory, etc. Back on topic, Can't allot any blame to China for some fictional future resource war because we must try to sell our shit in China.

I was smoking the hopium but after seeing the retcons, it just looks malicious. It's like Star Wars 7-9. They can't just go in their new direction, they have to completely raze and salt the earth whatever came before. They're behaving like the good little Marxists they no doubt are.

I also agree it doesn't add to the game (nor, to me, particularly hurt the game). I think BG3 is a really good game, but not for the romance. The story is good, the voice acting, the production quality. It's a deep game, I discovered more stuff every playthrough. Their anti-microtransaction...

Nice post. Well, if we're sharing links, quintessential heavy metal to me.

That goes along with the need to tell other people they are having fun wrong! Star Wars vs. Star Trek, FO1/2 vs 3/4, cats vs dogs, Vermin Supreme vs. Giant Meteor, etc.

I'm going to give it the old college try. I even got my wife to agree to try as well.

Early Metallica is heavy metal to me. Heavy metal, music you can headbang to? I would call GnR hard rock as well. searching gave me this link: https://loudwire.com/top-metal-bands-of-all-time/ I haven't listened to most of these. Did like some Korn back in the 90's. I played the hell out of...
