here is a video i made. it's about video games, where their value comes from, and how that value can be obscured.

fundamentally these people think the market is a cooperative effort where the consumers and the corporations have to show up to the table in good faith and hash out a fair deal where both sides win in the end. which they were taught in second grade and have just continued believing is true somehow.

"pffff, maybe instead of buying video games, you should be hanging out with friends or having a family"
"i cant afford those either. no one can."
"yeah well uh Skill Issue"

i would ask what these people think is gonna happen if/when the price of goods actually increases to the level they say it should, but i realize they not only haven't thought about it, they believe thinking about it is stupid and a waste of time.

now granted, "reasons to live" are supposed to be things like real relationships and a sense of connection with a community and a shared purpose. but barring that, you could at least let them have a shiny new toy every now and again. you can't take away the toys too.

someday liberals must learn the lesson that the things which keep people happy and push away the desire to stick the barrel of a gun in their mouth are not actually optional luxuries that people can just do without if you scold them about it enough. people actually need reasons to live.

the comparison feels equal parts true and cringe to make, but someday liberals must learn the lesson that pretending people's problems don't exist just pisses them off and turns them against you.

when i was growing up there was a real present retro game scene because the people shaping online gaming culture were in their 30s and grew up with that stuff. now i think if a strong retro scene arises again, it'll be because buying Thief 2 on gog and playing fan missions is all they can afford.

"The average person's quality of life has dropped substantially in the last two decades and made it untenable for them to spend the amount of money being demanded of them for their basic needs, let alone video games, which were already expensive" vs. "No it hasn't"

video game prices going up is actually a psyop to slowly push every single gamer away from AAA games and towards Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R

Because of bankruptcy payments among other things we will be somewhere in the ballpark of 600 dollars short of rent this month so I’m bumping this again and asking for help if you’d be willing offer it

Book sales helped but life never stops punching down and my family is in need of money to survive so any donations or shares would be super super appreciated

sick of all these older games where you make a good play and the game plays a loud incorrect buzzer and calls you a pussy and kills you.

animal jayson ⭐️👁️ @animaljayson.bsky.social · 1d

incredibly successful rebrand of pay to win, from "does paying extra give you an advantage" to "do you literally have to pay in order to win." as if there's any game where you get the boss to 1% health and then a popup goes "please insert credit card to do the final attack."

pretty funny bit to include a BDS solidarity acknowledgement in your review of a microsoft published game you gotta admit

not only did they win but they’re not even happy either. they have no new game they only have gacha filth. they’re anton chigurh with a broken arm bleeding all over the place having killed all his enemies and returning to his life as a slave to fate. bound to the coin (gacha pulls).

some days i feel like no country for old men but for weebs. it truly is a darker and incomprehensibly more cutthroat world than it was when i was but a boy. they dont even have final fantasy anymore. i cant be a megaten elitist to the personababies anymore, they won. what has it all come to
