The context is important - “morals” covers both “I think drinking is/isn’t an inherently morally irresponsible activity” and “I want to gas minorities”, and one of those has slightly higher stakes. You can understand the latter often happens because small town america might not have ever met minority groups, or somehow figures the small immigrant community with delicious food is “one of the few good ones” - that doesn’t make their “morals” any less reprehensible.

Oh hello the-exact-opposite-of-me lmao

All of those games mentioned slap harder than 95% of the AAA games released in the past ten years imo and you could buy six for what a AAA game costs these days.

Trash Panda?

Lotta people get confused by Orwell hating the Soviets. By “lotta people” I do basically just mean tankies.

Isn’t that vaguely what the villain of ready player one does?

Turns out Igor, too, was a wild shaped druid!

Income tax always struck me as a deliberate way to make your average joe hate taxes when they could, very easily, be calculated at time of payroll without you ever being shown the “pre tax” amount.

Yarrr harrr fiddily de dee

My gut reaction would be “actions still have consequences motherfucker”, but my gut would also be to immediately remove this person from ever interacting with me again.

Sometimes, the results of something you do don’t quite match your intentions. Mistakes happen, miscommunications happen. A genuine person would respond “oh fuck, that is NOT how I meant that”, and apologize. A gaslighter does the above.

The value of those “real goods” is typically just as fake as the value of fiat currencies anyways. Trying to use things with actual usefulness as money has its own issues too.

Making something to make humans suffer is still making it for humans

It’s just very amusing from the outside to observe a fervent and dedicated community insisting a thousands of years old game’s wonky design choices make sense for a dozen different reasons. Gamers really never change.

(homeopathy) n. a complementary therapy based on the theory that ‘like cures like’. It involves treating a condition with a tiny dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate that condition.

No, I think they mean actual medicine my guy, based on science. If it’s “homeopathic” and it works, we just call it medicine.

I appreciate all of these super in depth responses, but man does it validate my decision to never invest any time into chess lmao.

What’s the benefit to the game of this being a draw instead of an obvious loss to white?

Being a prick isn’t making anyone eat less meat. Ensuring others have easy access and knowledge of lower meat diet options does. Sounds to me like the clown is doing a better job of helping animals than you are 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Occasionally, there will be a game I want to play as soon as it releases - even then, I’ll maybe wait until the last hour before release to “pre order”, just as one last fuck you to the concept.

🥱 cope and seethe, your downvotes mean nothing.

If you want overtly lefty stuff without the chinese government ball fondling, solarpunk is a pretty good instance, or .blahaj if you’re more interested in social/gender issues.

It is fucking hilarious for the tankieverse to blame somewhere else for being too hard on censorship lmao y’all really are something
