    Worse? I don't get why everyone says it's getting worse. It only seems worse because your curtain of innocence is torn away as you grow older. We as humans latch onto negative memories, they exist in our mind longer than positive memories because it's easier to remember the bad. That is why everything seems worse.

    Mix that with the Internet, news, and so-on and all of a sudden it's doomsday every day.

    It has always been shitty, but each decade is getting better and better on average. Outside of risks like Nuclear War, and Global Warming, there really isn't anything else that will "end the world" as we know it.

    If you brought someone from ancient Mesopotamia and showed them this current world, they would not recognize it as their own. Nothing would seem familiar and their world as they know it has ended.

    I don't understand why so many people fall victim to this negative pessimistic thought process of "humans suck it's all going to end for us" instead of just focusing on the positive and improving the lives of those around them. If rude, mean, evil people try to fuck that over, trample them and continue being happy. If you can't trample them, adapt and work around it. Freedom can be taken but your mind cannot be bound.

    I do this, here's why. Also I'm 23

    I don't like getting oils and sweat on my screen. I also don't like putting my dirty screen on my face.

    I can still talk to someone and do other stuff on my phone. If I want privacy or I'm in an area where speakerphone would be annoying then fine I'll use it the old way, but generally I have headphones to bridge that gap anyways.



  • We def get plenty of good games in a year. But everyone wants to give their money to big AAA devs when the good games are made by small teams.

    This year we got (in the spotlight):

    Baldurs Gate 3, LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom, Resident Evil 4, and Pikmin 4.

    And in the background we got: Turbo Overkill, Have a Nice Death, Pizza Tower, just to name a few.

    Maybe take a break from gaming if it’s so irritating, or go back and play some older games. Either way, the overconsumption of people who grew up gaming js unsustainable and it leads to mental burnout eventually. Doesn’t help that most profit comes from multiplayer games, which people continue to actively play while complaining about it as if there aren’t other options.




  • I honestly hated Aliens. I watched Alien and loved it to death, the sound, environment, tension were all really cool. Crew Members felt like people, Ripley felt real, and I liked how it didn’t focus on Ripley from the beginning and just let the story build itself.

    Aliens was just a bunch of headstrong generic idiots along with other stupid action tropes. There was nothing about it I found redeeming beyond the antiquity of practical effects. But that seems to be a minority opinion because people really love Aliens and Alien 3 etc. I just felt annoyed and dissatisfied with the 2nd movie.
