I dropped Far Cry 6 twice because it was so bloated. After double digit hours of play it felt like I made no progress in the story. It felt like an ADHD simulator because every time I tried to do a mission it'd assault me with a bunch of different side quests and collectibles and random encounters.

I love how no matter what all these AI videos have the same fucking slow zoom-in.

2-3 times a year some random person whips up a SquareSpace website and some posters and people share them around. They're never associated with any unions or labor organizations. That "Economic Blackout" from "The People's Union" last yr was just some yoga instructor who scammed people out of $100k.

Don't worry, Jim. Except for the Minnesota one last week, which was extremely special circumstances, all of these general strikes and temporary boycotts are fake.

I've seen people make innocuous posts about pumpkins or something and then get quote posted by some freak calling him a cunt for restricting replies to followers only.

The vibe is waking up at 5am and dunking your face into a bowl of icy Voss bottled water.

Even better, I've seen calls for these one day strikes where the comments were full of "I'm unemployed and don't go to school but I will strike with you!"

Unfortunately I think a lot of people are fully buying into the humanoid robots and Mars colonies. Everyone thinks movies are real now.

Thank God this didn't come out in an American election year so we don't have to see these screenshots spammed one billion times.

r/Detroit did a census years ago that showed it was 80% white people, 80% people who didn't live in the city and was overwhelmingly male. I assume that most big city subreddits have the same dynamic.

My first and main impression of them was a guy's TikTok where he was like "Oh so you think the suburbs are boring?" and then unironically just started listing off a bunch of chain restaurants at a strip mall and one of them was Crumbl.

Likening retro to (post)modernism is already setting up a losing battle because most people don't even use those correctly. Most people think modern art means new and postmodern means weird and gay.

I haven't checked every instance but it seems that way. If you fail to scare Victoria out of performing, Rachel drugs her drink. If you fail to scare Elliot away with the 911 call, Chloe trips the alarm by breaking a windows.

It felt half-baked as a game mechanic. Especially once you play enough to realize the outcome is the same whether you succeed or fail at it.

Can't remember if it was Draft Kings but I saw gambling ads on Tubi where the DJI lav mic was visibly clipped to the guy's shirt (points for not holding it in his hand I guess) and you could hear the room noise because he was at a bar or something.
