Soon the predatory loan industry will just be the loan industry because poor people won’t be able to afford food without one.

A roundhouse kick to the neck!

Forgive me, but to me not experiencing sexual attraction reads the same as “not being interested” because you don’t experience sexual attraction. (Why would you be interested in something you have no attraction to?) Cheers.
Not being interested in sex is different than not being interested in a game? That’s how I read it, anyway. Apologies if it came off otherwise.
I don’t play Kart or Smash because I don’t own Nintendo consoles anymore and haven’t in a hot decade.
I guess that just makes me old ha. An old fogey not in the streets or in the sheets.
Welp, you don’t get a choice, you’re asexual now whether you like it or not. Meme says it, so it’s true.
Be, uh, careful with that barrel roll.
Kirby for smash

Lula doesn’t seem quite as straightforwardly pro-Russia as Bolsanaro was, but its very clear their economic association with Russia makes them unable to truly be neutral arbiters of the situation, no matter how much Lula wants to present Brazil as attempting to be neutral.
It’s probably more familiar with trashbat.co.ck
Megan Ellison sounds like a terrible chip off the old block of Larry Ellison.
This sucks for all the developers and sucks for the people who resigned since Ellison obviously doesn’t care about their concerns.
People like you describe don’t want to play the game
I think this is part of the problem I have.
Are they still pressing buttons and making input? Yes.
Thus, they’re still playing the game.
If you want to sound less judgmental, stop saying they’re not “playing” it or that “they don’t want to play it” just because they’re not “playing it the way I think is right.”
If you really think its okay, accept that when they are still pressing buttons and interacting with the game, they are still functionally playing the game. Not playing the game is watching a Let’s Play.
It’s a pointless distinction rooted in treating people who want an easy mode as “lesser” because “they don’t want to actually play the game.” Sorry, sick of hearing it worded this way.
I think easy game modes take away what a great game makes a great game.
But a lot of people are coming to gaming from traditional media where there is no interaction. A lot of those people like the narratives in games, but don’t love beating a challenge. A lot of those people are tired from long days at work and do not get joy from eking out a win. To them, it feels like a chore, and they didn’t get into this to do chores. They got into it to get away from the stress of the world.
(EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is also why Let’s Play youtubes are popular. I know a guy who doesn’t game at all but has watched full playthroughs of things like Firewatch.)
If you get enjoyment from great game mechanics, more power to you. However, that doesn’t mean those game mechanics are less impactful in story driven games where the gaming is “easier.”
My partner didn’t play games at all until those old Walking Dead games by Telltale came out. They were like a TV show, and she started playing them… because it was like “playing” one of her favorite shows at the time. I literally chose them to introduce her to gaming because it was more like a TV show than a game.
She recently finished Baldur’s Gate 3 on normal and its her favorite game now. So games with easy difficulty levels can also help people who have never gamed before be able to get into it and eventually love the more difficult challenge.
Anything where you’re more interested in the story than the challenge.
So… story-driven games.
Trump: “…and Netanyahu told me that Hannibal Lecter came to him, eyes full of tears…”
I know, even this snippet is too coherent for Trump, but his current obsession with Hannibal Lecter is just asking for him to get this confused.
In regards to the actual article about Israel killing its own citizens, I present Philip J. Fry, shocked face:
I still am struggling to find articles that actually delve into the technical details of how they’re blocking and if it’s any more complicated than a DNS-level block or if they’re also demanding to block that IP range or what. I want to know who the third parties are and what kind of services they’re offering that allow it to be routed around. Damn not being able to speak Portuguese, that’s on me.
