That’s what I use it for at work in an Indian callcenter.

That’s evolutionary!

Can it file a tax return? I’ll take five.

They call them vlommels.

First day on the job be like

I think a select few extremely narcissistic, cynical, and nihilistic psychopaths used their inherited power to institute and entrench a form of resource distribution and valuation that would secure their dynastic succession for centuries and millennia.

People are altruistic, that’s why capitalism even works in the first place- in order to compete, we absolutely need to be able to cooperate, if at the very least to all agree on the framework within which we will compete in the first place, to agree on the rules by which we will play. Please do note, the ostensible motivation and raison d’etre of capitalism is that it is the system which will bring about the greatest good for all participants.

Allegedly.

No, capitalism is selfish by nature, it makes and promotes people to be selfish. People are genetically altruistic and cooperative. Things, and ownership, and selfishness, is what makes society bad.

You are looking far too shallow into it, and you will stay a slave to that paradigm.

It is!

“Oh yeah?! SHOW ME THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!”

You’re genuinely just a bunch of fundamentalist indie hipsters consuming games like they’re new season flavors of coffee at starbucks. I bet you drink IPA and tell your friends about your favorite micro breweries, let me know if I’m close. You have an oversized square beard (you use beard balm), and thick rimmed glasses, and a balding head that you shaved clean.

Again, I might be off on the details, but the gist is there.

You don’t, entirely, and saying that is like saying “well love is just biochemistry. It’s all just molecules interacting.”

And yeah. That’s ONE way of seeing it, a very materialistic and wholly insufficient and even trite way of looking at it devoid of human soul and the actualities of living that experience.

It’s basically a resignation to what capitalism is trying to sell you- units of something, you become a statistic, it’s not the enjoyment of the food, it’s about a sterile transaction between patron and chef, where you get so and so filled to such and such a degree, and that has some specific arbitrary value in money.

It’s just such a consumer zombie way of perceiving the world, I just can’t.

It’s not breaking the illusion that’s the tricky part.

That quickly, I can’t with this utilitarian consumerist take, like, you didn’t buy a game, you bought a minimum specified undetermined quantum of enjoyment. It’s so sterile. It’s like saying, yeah the first part of the movie was great, but then it turned to shit, so you got your money’s worth of enjoyment points so you’re overall on plus. Sorry for sounding harsh, it’s a pet peeve of mine, I don’t like to consider games some sort of staple commodity to wring out enjoyment stats out of and then discard, it’s more to the experience than that. It’s like watching half a painting, you get some enjoyment out of it, not all of it, but halfway there, so then it’s fine.

New maps! And skins! You can buy them, you know!

Yeah and some dragons, and fairies, and magical elves!

You run over hookers and get your money back.

I’d say it’s a… Hot topic.

Silksong. God people wouldn’t shut up about it before launch. Big hypemachine. Then it came out and after a while people didn’t like it and it kind of petered out.

That’s interesting because in fact the only times I had it was as a spread, many many years ago. It’s got this slightly gamey taste, great on toast.

1 hour every night i can do anything i want that includes no electronics. I usually just sit and think things through and it has helped a lot with my anxiety.

Horse meat is pretty tasty.
