I'm sorry to be so late with my reaction, but I really appreciate your time and effort to type out a thoughtfull response to my rage-post.
I get where you are coming from, and salute your efforts supporting progressive politics. Your reaction initially struck me the wrong way, somehow, hence my response. I can see where you are coming from, and you are right to stand by your principles and wanting to improve the message. Still, it might have been better to make very clear where you stand and what the purpose of the initial response was, it came over, on me at least, like you found this one point and wanted to use it to invalidate Mamdani's entire platform.
I'm one of the biggest fans of the DOOM franchise, I've played all the versions since the original one in 1993.
But I don't care if I play it now or in half a year. Or a year for that matter. Never really understood why having it first matters to anyone. I'll be here when the prices drop.
I was stupid enough to buy Spacemarine 2, when it came out, at full price (mostly because I loved Boltgun so much) and that was a great lesson about how you should wait around a bit before actually buying a game. It would have been a fun game for 15 or even 20 euro, but it's not worth 70 euro. I Should have bought Helldivers, anyway 😓
I had a snippet above my desk that said something like: angry? -> music, sad? > Excersise etc.
Then, when I got really bad in my head I tore it off and ripped it up.
Now I have a snippet of Tyler Durden with the quote: "if you feel bad, everybody you hate wins."
