Seriously, what happened to 'Being an asshole'. Like. Not every bit of being mean is caused by mental disorders, and perpetuating the stereotype is... Y'know, not great for a lot of reasons.

I feel bad that I'm not convinced that the superhero fatigue isn't a real thing or Marvel's back just bcs the new Spiderman did really well in theaters if only because Spiderman has basically been everyone's favorite superhero for decades now and Spiderman movies don't even have to be good to rake in ridiculous amounts of money. And I say that as someone who loves Spiderman and will watch just about anything he's a central character in.

Like dude...there have been enough Spiderman reboots in the last 30 years that we can have one Spiderman movie with 3 Spidermen and another where nearly every major character is a Spiderman of some kind as well as a major game franchise with at least 2 Spidermen in it. The people want one thing and it's a webby lad suffering more than jesus while cracking jokes like his life depends on it. Much like Georg, Spiderman is an outlier and should not be counted.

That's my friend Spiderman!! I saw a kid with a skateboard ask him to do a kick flip on it and he tried and tripped and slammed his face into the sidewalk. I'd die for him.

What always gets me about learning about settler colonialism is how once you learn about it you cannot unsee the violence to the land itself. My home state was previously nearly 100% wetlands, apart of the wider Ohio river valley whose biodiversity supported such large populations of hundreds of different species that many contemporary source from settlers describe it as like the garden of Eden.

The Indigenous people who farmed and hunted here (and still farm and hunt in what land they have been able to keep and reclaim) were able to grow miles of upon miles of crops with multiple harvests a year, encouraging this biodiversity by creating forest gardens with incredible amounts of food from staples like corn and squash to local fruits like pawpaws to European imports like apples alongside controlled burns which allowed fields and buffalo ranges to expand.

Nowadays my state is known almost exclusively for its fields of nothing but corn and soy beans. Driving through in between the comparatively small cities you'll see nothing but fields where the plethora of different trees and plants were chopped down mile by mile, the remaining wetlands drained and flattened, and the rich black soils robbed of their nutrients through decades upon decades of monocrop agriculture now preserved through the life blood of petrochemical fertilizers which destroy the surrounding environment.

This process was done mile by mile as the tens of thousands of Indigenous people were killed and displaced by settlers and the US army, the land measured and sold acre by acre to white settlers who raped the land as described, filling the pockets of wealthy land speculators (like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson) who bought the land directly from the government in schemes so corrupt historians have dedicated entire careers to mapping out their dramas.

It's like learning about commodity fetishism and suddenly seeing hundreds of strangers in the products that surround you. Once you learn how the land was destroyed for profit you'll never look at the miles of fields or the cracks in the concrete of buildings built on wetlands or the stench of now obsolete canals built solely for a once boat-dependent economy with no care for the environment the same.

Listen, I completely understand why it was an issue for some people, but I still think that naming the original release of Deltarune “SURVEY_PROGRAM.exe” was really really funny

also when you opened it you had to agree to the end user license agreement, which just said "YOU WILL ACCEPT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS FROM NOW ON." and when people on twitter told him their antivirus was flagging it as a threat, he posted a "fix" that was just a screenshot of the windows defender popup with the "run anyway" button circled

#it's like taking candy from an unmarked white van#and the candy is wrapped in tinfoil and printer paper and the ingredients list just says ''dude trust me''#but you know that guy is a chocolatier and made the best damn truffles you ever tasted so you take the free van candy anyway#and it turns out that it is pretty good candy that this guy was just giving out for free (from yardsards)

my light yagami quotebot on twitter very conveniently posted this a couple of hours after charlie kirk got domed and i havent stopped laughing since

wriggle-transbug

i saw a post and comment thread essentially saying how all the transfeminists on tumblr are some manufactured psyop because the real trans women they've known are all super kind and helpful and don't talk about things like transmisogyny.

hmm. i wonder why all the trans women you've encountered have been nothing but ingratiating to you, not expressing any needs or problems that may make you uncomfortable. hmmmmm.

The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

People act like I'm just being an asshole but man the whole reason I'm so anal about hating gambling mechanics is because I've been down that road and lost a ton of money on games I just stopped playing eventually anyway and it SUCKS and the more you learn about dark pattern design the more you realize that this entire corner of the game industry is just fully focused on screwing vulnerable people out of their money and it's just evil, plain and simple. What do you want from me?? To promote this shit like every other streamer after knowing all that??? I will NOT be complicit in this shit. I'm gonna talk about how bad it is!!! You think that makes me an asshole?????

esoteric-merit

one of my friends is a mobile game designer who's worked for big companies before.

One of the things she's told me she's proud of before, was a time when one of the (older) users of the game she was designing discussed her strategy of drinking extra water to wake up early enough to claim her dailies, and how proud she was that she made a game people liked that much.

Even looking her in the eye and asking "getting 60 year olds to disrupt their sleep schedule by pissing themselves makes you proud?" did not get her to hear herself talk.

I think a lot of people don't comprehend the evil of dark patterns. They handwave it all away by "it's personal decisions people make", even while they see the patterns of behaviour they create on the populace. They read falling into those patterns as focus and grindset, if anything. And for a good number of people, pay-to-win is a *positive* thing.

I think if I were tasked with coming up with a way to make a populace depressed, unhealthy, and insomniac, even without getting them to pay me, I'd be heading towards video games stuffed with dark patterns. And such a video game would also produce profit for me, as it happens.

demilypyro

I studied game design and nothing disillusioned me like this one time I did an internship at a mobile game company because it was so obvious that the team only cared about how to screw as many people out of their money as possible. The only feedback I ever got for my system designs was "okay but how can we make it more addictive?" or "how can we get them to spend?" and shit like that. Nobody there cared about the game being fun. In their minds, a "good" game was a profitable and addictive one. I haven't been able to see these games the same way ever since. It was one of the big reasons I quit being a game designer. Dark pattern design doesn't happen by accident. They know what they're doing. They want to fuck you over.

existennialmemes

Knowingly hijacking someone's reward pathways to weaponize them for profit is unambiguously bad. They are manipulating people on purpose with the sole intent of triggering maladaptive & addictive behaviors. They want you to financially harm yourself to enrich them instead. Being a Hater™ is the obvious moral position here.
