  • Secret group of super powered freedom fighters recruits me to their cause on the basis that I’ve got some kind of special sauce inherent to my being. Hot chicks who’ve admired me from the shadows hand me weapons that I somehow already know how to use, and only their utter devotion to our world-saving cause keeps them from ripping my clothes off and covering me in kisses. All the horror and suffering of my life finds meaning in a mission the fulfills my need for purpose.

  • By “crippling” here you mean unable to participate in the market. That’s the thing that’s crippled when debt affects a person’s life.

    A socialist had no access to the market anyway. They’re born into that crippled state.

  • That’s the one thing old people just don’t do: they won’t read what’s presented on the screen.

    I think it comes from growing up before GUIs, so they think of an interface as a set of buttons on a console. There was very little reason to read an interface back when they were all physical; you either knew what each button did or you didn’t and you only had to memorize it once.

    Like, the controls of a T-38 tank are always the same. The controls of a ‘57 Chevy are always the same.

    Once GUIs came into play, people started interacting with orders of magnitude more control interfaces, so the concept of “there is no manual; the interface is self-documenting” came into existence.

    Now you’re supposed to learn the interface and use it on the first encounter, which means reading what the interface is saying.

  • The suggestion was for a little notebook, not a printout.

    Have you tried a little notebook?

    A notebook is more of a “thing” than a piece of paper is. A notebook is the sort of thing a person can keep on a bookshelf. A sheet of paper is gonna live on a flat surface until it’s thrown away.

    Try the notebook.

  • I was really disappointed with this game. I thought it would be a lot more 3D in its battles.

    I was imagining something like the spider man games, but with all the Marvel characters in that kind of cityscape.
