That’s what I thought until I tried it. Bought a game only to find out it was not for me. I’d bought it that day, played 30 mins, initiated refund. Steam denied refund, I think because I was on a VPN. $30 I won’t get back…

Less likely to buy stuff now without trying it first. Not like I have it to spare anymore these days 🤷‍♀️

Thomas is not cringe, dude. The plane character kinda cringe. Thomas is legit.

Ship of Harkinian, the PC port/decomp of TLoZ:Ocarina of Time runs so much better than any emulator I’ve tried. I am fairly confident LLMs are used in the process but there’s a lot of care put into it. Added features for speed running, changing behavior to act as the n64, GameCube or 3ds versions etc.

I think those are great but ‘Skate 3 in Minecraft in CODMW2’ just seems pointless beyond video ‘content’ 🤢

My managers seeming plenty eroded rn 😅

Sorry for just pasting these, the band always post lyrics in wall of text format because that’s kind of how the vocals come off…

Thou - Death to the King and All His Loyal Subjects

Ascending through the hive of the ancients, crafting candles of ethereal dissent, we are the heirs and masters to the grey throne of melancholia. We are so very worthless, and everything we do is meaningless. Towering, gilded, white pedestals erected in supplication to these raise’ed demigods, detached and preening with conceit. We are so very worthless, and everything we do is meaningless. Everything we’ve ever done–everything we’ll ever do–is meaningless. Attend our needs. Servants, lie in debasement, sustained on the crumbs of pseudo intellect, dime store wisdom disguised as politico philosophy. The illusion of ideology. The imposition of precious ego. No room for opposition. One view rules all. One view ruins all. What was once a strength is now an affectation, a glamour cast over unsuspecting acolytes. But straddling mystery and candor leaves the bloody lips exposed. Reticence abandoned. Mythos dismantled. Blustering malcontents, so pedestrian, so very mundane. Childish bores talking and talking and talking in circles. Oh, you treacherous swine. Self entitled scum hiding in the fog of poverty, the veil of the oppressed. Self righteous ire. Self absorbed privilege. Self aggrandizing dribble. Tribulations contrived amidst vacillating abstraction reeking of guilt and greed. Fecund ambivalence from ostentatious parasites. Deluded vanity inextricably entwined. Instability, insecurity. Flagellants revealed. We are so very worthless, and everything we do is meaningless. Go now to the scourge pits to atone.

Kind of niche music (blackened sludge/doom metal) but Thou are pretty much my favorite band. These lyrics are in my head a lot. The disgust of the vocalist is a form of expression I would make if I had the ability. Cathartic, imo.

I may be just among the poors but I don’t know a single millennial who can afford fair-trade, cruelty free, etc. clothing. Or really anything.

Thrifting enshittified a decade ago. Walmart has more affordable clothing than any thrift shop in my area 🤷‍♀️

We poors are certainly killing the planet - for fun.

The costumes and set work were visibly dogshit from episode 1. My friends and I were very excited for a high production value fantasy show to finally happen. Then they spent all the money on actors willing to do nude scenes (they must’ve missed the market saturation of fantasy porn and smut literature). I think I made it 4 episodes and was glad people came around eventually because that period between was unpleasant.
