Like what the fuck do you even do?? Just jerk off all day until it’s time to vote? Buy a gizmo off Amazon and stare at the tracking screen until it arrives? Watch The Office for the 37th time? Shits wild
Instead of going online to get angry about workers' rights, you go online to get angry about gamers' rights.
That better be a privately owned park that you paid admission or an annual fee to access, buster
How awful do I have to feel when buying something from amazon to be a real communist?
No no, to be a communist you do all of the things mentioned above, but you listen to a vaguely leftist podcast every few months.
They get a lot of short time rushes from buying stuff. We have to make up for it by wanking intead of voting. In all seriousness, you wouldn't believe the amount of people that are trying to build passive income in their past time... lol, passive labour.
I do game dev as a hobby, and I get a lot of people telling me I should try to make money off of it.
Fuck that, I have a job for that. I will never charge a single cent for something I develop in my free time.
I mean, if you can manage to make enough money not to need that job, you are basically getting the full value of your labor. Unlike at your job. I wouldn't even call it passive income since you likely would be continuing to develop updates and patches.
Also, where tf do I start with game dev?
how do you feel about patreon in the freeware-o-sphere? do you have one? is it problematic if the content is still free in the end?
not to give you 50 questions but monetization and gig-economy-ing spaces that used to exclusively free is really fascinating to me and the debates still rage on the mod/game forums I frequent.
I don't have a Patreon, don't plan on getting one, and don't really care if someone else has one. Everyone has to decide for themselves to what extent they're comfortable with their hobby intersecting with the market. I've drawn my line where I wanted to, others can do the same.
for once the title "click to die instantly" might have been appropriate. :stalin-stressed:
I know 3 people whose political idealogy is self described as "non-existant". Their lives consist of working overtime every week, sometimes 60 hours at 2 jobs, spending their free time watching rick and morty reruns and playing the vidya.
It sucks because these people feel the full effect of capitalist alienation but they're convinced they know everything and this is "just the way it is".
Must be nice to be so ignorant, deluded, and self-absorbed. Couldn't be me.
Well, first things first you would do a bunch of overtime instead of having hobbies. Not caring about labor also frees up mindspace to enjoy Gary Vanerchuck and how you ought to embrace a more grindy lifestyle. Since you don't see problems as systemic, you also are more apt to engage in gossip and drama about coworkers and get into the details of how they're doing their job wrong and what it means to you.
And if you have to do more overtime than I do, then my heart goes out to you in this fuck of am Earth. And if you have to work less then same thing, solidarity and fuck this shit and my dumbass job holy shit.
You either work out, play video games, or watch shitty reality shows on MTV.
