  • I think you're missing the point: If covid had been a lot more lethal, then the people who acted in belligerent ignorance would be a significantly smaller portion of the population afterwards.

    I'm not here to change people's minds, that basically impossible unless you are a demagogue.

    On the other hand, if the most stubborn, ignorant, and easily fooled people had the brunt of mortalities (which so far very study indicates is true), then if there was a 20% mortality rate, consider what the population of the nation would look after that.

    Does that make me a monster? Probably.

  • After 4 decades of active video game play, the last year or so has been very empty for me.

    Nothing seemed to be satisfying, nothing captured my attention for long.

    Sure I got my Elden Ring character ready for the DLC, but not with enthusiasm.

    Sure I made it to diamond in Duel Masters finally, but it brought me no joy.

    I bought Palworld last night on a whim and it has been 15 hours and the only time I have stopped was to take care of basic needs.

    I am engaged, excited, and enthusiastic to game for the first time in a very, very long time. And the last time I liked a game this much it was Elden Ring at launch and I literally did nothing for 3 months than eat, sleep, work and Elden Ring.

    I feel that Palworld is heading in the same direction.

    Is there jank? Sure, but nothing that has broken my enjoyment yet.

  • Originally reddit was a niche site with few visitors that was full of knowledge and a strong sense of community.

    Then during Gamergate (2014), several organizational subs were created by rancid basement dwelling mysogitrolls that soon found that not only did they not get banned for doxxing and harassing people, that they gathered even more rancid basement dwelling mysogitrolls to their ranks and realized they weren't as rare as they worried.

    Then 2015 rolled around and a SHITTON of alt-right wastes of their own father's protein came around for the whole trumpfest that reddit became at the time.

    And they never left.

    On the other hand, a ton of people who created content and supported other users with meaningful replies all decided it wasn't worth the constant harassment, doxxing, malicious reporting, bigotry, botting and refusal of the admins to address said behaviors.

    And we left.

    So the only redditors still there are either shitstains or too emotionally invested to leave yet.

    And that latter group will get smaller and smaller as the shitstains become louder and more emboldened.
