        The Kotaku article was fine.

        Writing about how Cyberpunk is orientalist and critiquing a Cyberpunk story for not confronting that orientalism is run of the mill criticism.

    Not being able to customize the main character to look like your cat is a major flaw, what were they thinking?

    I don't know what it is about some of these YT dip shits that evokes such visceral hatred from me. Like I'm aware people like DeSantis cause far more harm to society at large, but I've never found myself fantasizing about drop kicking him in the face like I was a pro wrestler.

      The internet has become a revolting place. Those stupid YouTube thumbnails, the anime avatars, the fact everything has be a forty minute video or a speed up tiktok where the punchline is 1 ns long. Nothing is new or novel. The comments are depressingly predictable with the same broken language "ngl", "eh..". I do understand that alot of it comes from kids but what else are they doing then absorbing this stuff 12 hours a day.

      It's not this is wasting gigawatts of electricity. It's the capital and engineering time to give everyone their own banal public access TV show marketed to every potential rube by "the algorithm". Every second of this tripe is to be store indefinitely, backed up and replicated throughout the world to be readily available within seconds of demand. It was exciting back in 2007 to see where this could but this is the end result.

      This leads to the meme answer, "we can do multiple things". But really it takes decades to build the inflexible and specialized engineering capital in the direction you wanted. The trillions spent in Silicon Valley to build a global surveillance state has made software development and IT one of the only viable jobs to joining the middle class without connections. There are only so many people who are suited to the challenges of science and engineering. So many have be wasted in silicon valley, wall street and the military industrial complex.

        I think what really gets me is how artificial it all is. Like people such as Mr. Beast using the same face for every fucking thumbnail because that generates more interest. Either that or just the fact we're all stupid enough to fall for it and eagerly slurp up the slop.

      DeSantis couldn't do what he does without decades of Rush Limbaugh and Fox News and now these twerps.

    Kotaku article: I like the game, but there are a few choices that are a bit questionable that they probably could've not included, but overall, I can overlook it.

      Just click the link so I can get clout and a few extra ad pennies, dammit. I will put anything in the headline that gets you to click the link. Please, I am begging you. Watch a 30 second commercial for a mattress delivery service. My children are starving.

      It's got some legitimate flaws, but it seems like all the Gamers focused on the hours/dollar metric over everything else. It's a short, sweet game in a linear setting, and given its explosive success I think we're for sure going to see a more advanced sequel.

      I'm ok with shorter games personally, the 200+ hours needed to finish most open world games becomes exhausting the older I get.

      He manufactures anger as part of his platform , probably? When I still used :reddit-logo: people in r/animecirclejerk would post his videos to dunk on pretty regularly.
