It's true, my bad experience was playing with 3O and listening to him cry about how he has money and no love in his life.

The better life choice was laughing.

Thank you 3O. By way of hideous example you inspire lol

I'm married, been with my partner for years, who was my best friend for years before we started a romantic relationship and the closest thing I have to a video gaming device is an Oculus Quest II that said husband gave me for Christmas. Did you get scammed by a fake Three Olives lol.

I bought this pc off a spoiled rear end college student who didn't know what it was worth because his dad built it for him and he immediately put it up on craigslist for $700 despite being worth almost 3000 at the time because it took up too much room. fucker had a brand new bmw his parents straight up bought for him

I'm sorry, you are right, it's about ethics in gaming journalism.

I had videogames as a child, don't tell me that the modern day video game movement is not a absolutely toxic morass that seems laser focused on exploiting people from price gouging at the top end to Nazi livestreaming down to pay-to-play psychological exploitation of the poor, something that apparently goes down to Roblox and Fortnight, games explicitly targeted towards vulnerable children.

You're sorry, but only in one sense. You can be honest and admit that you'll never be apologetic about your disdain for people less fortunate than you. Someday, for the sake of others, I hope you grow some empathy. Rather than own up to your incredibly gross words, you dodged my initial response because it wasn't easy enough for you to dismiss. Why don't you do everyone a favor and treat every post the same way? Just stop posting if you can't stop looking down on everyone like your ~merely upper-middle-class~ country club rear end is something special? If you want to prove you're worth a poo poo to anyone here, grow the gently caress up and be someone else. Be a better person than whatever the gently caress you are now.

I'm sorry, I was dismissing it because modern video-gaming is objectively exploitive, particularly on the poor, in a truly stunning number of ways, honestly stunningly shocking, down to day-trading GameStop stock on margin, which is really something, but I didn't consider signalnoise's opinion of me when making a joke about how video games are often designed to exploit the poor and young in everything from anything from questionably legal underage gambling to military recruitment. Please accept my apologizes for the fact that I did not consider your feelings about video games when PewDiePie arguably uses his video game platform for Nazi recruitment.

Lol, when I was a child luckily my dad worked somewhere with a very strong network of pc pirating and a copier. Stacks of 5 1/4" floppies and binders full of paper with all the decoder wheel combinations or full copies of manuals for the goofy-rear end stuff like King's Quest "What word is on page 5, paragraph 2, word 7"-questions.

That period was much more lucrative than the earlier cassette copies of TI-99/4A games.

Yeah yeah, let's have that debate where I talked about how I was actually locked in a loving cell in grade school, and was actually homeless, which you glossed over. Now you want to debate because I called you out for saying something abhorrent, and for following it up with fake apologies. I'm not ignorant of how the top end works, you just don't know how the low end works, but you pretend that you do, because you are pretentious. What's the problem, 3O? Project much? Did you get that from daddy too?

Since I was probated I guess the fact I was joking wasn't clear (I think it was, to most people). Anyone feel free to buy and play videogames, it's a cheap form of entertainment. If it's not cheap enough feel free to pirate it.

After waiting to find a game and then having to ready up multiple times, waiting for people to load is annoying. It's not really a sacrifice but when you consider it's usually one or two people in a game of 8 or whatever it adds up. It's a minor complaint that I posted a satirical take on I guess I wasn't over the top enough.
