Well, when you say ‘many modern games’ you’re implying that every game sucks currently and in the last few years. Every year there will always be a lot of shitty games but it’d be discrediting to not acknowledge that there are good stuff released every year.

In the past 5 years I will say some of the best games I’ve played that were released were Blue Fire, Inscryption, Flynn: Son of Crimson, Paint The Town Red, Huntdown, Iron Meat to name a bunch.

One major gripe I have with people who complain about modern gaming, are ones who look to AAA gaming development and expecting creativity and innovation. When, they’ve long dried up on that. We’re not in the PS2/X-Box/GameCube/PS3/360/Wii generations anymore where there were tons of that going on with unique games trying all sorts of things.

The modern gaming climate has shifted into what’s trendy, moreso than before. You’ll have open-world games, but virtually samey quests to do over and over. You’ll have RPGs, but offer nothing but different endings with barely any impact and just grind-fests. You’ll have shooter games that care way too much about meaningless stats and other pointless data to keep track of. You’ll have sports games that remain as more vanilla and dry of an experience than they ever been. (Gone are the days where in the 80s, 90s and 00s you had sports games released but tried adding flavor to them like NBA Street or Mutant League Hockey.)

Games that are released but somehow needing patches after said release. Gaming developers and publishers having to come out and issue apology statements over them or some of them just outright not caring. Studios getting shut down because of unreasonable corporate demands. Studios getting shut down because of acquisitions.

Streamers and YouTubers dramatizing games or whoring themselves up for a cheap handful of views and subscriptions. Out of touch with reality and themselves and abusing their influences.

These are what make modern gaming suck.

Not really. The only thing I’d be missing access to is where I am on my finances when shopping and I don’t have it.

If that’s what it has to take - go for it.

Meta has workers? Thought everything is attached to that shitty hub system they’ve been leaning on for years now.

Maybe, if publishers and creators were getting some petty tax from each swap

You didn’t read the part where part of my conceptual ideas consist of paying a fee to gift the game away, that would have to be decided up to Valve and the Developers/Publishers. I only came up with just a start. It’s not a perfect idea, but it’s there as a return for them because they’re going to want some return from this, of course.

I’m not doing the leg work for you. If you’re that curious, you look it up.

This is how I feel about fast food in general.

They are only good for exceptional situations, like needing to stretch rations so you don’t eat into the food at home so okay you go to a fast food restaurant instead.

No menu item at all is healthy but people conveniently ignore that. Regardless of the many programs and attempts all fast-food chains have tried to be healthy, they just practice wrong because they’re still in environments surrounded by grease, fried cooking oil and processed pre-bought items.

They should not be treated like you would at a sit-down restaurant that actually has waitresses/waiters, chefs .etc

They’re good for eating at very moderate and scarce amounts. Not a weekly or daily consumption level.

The prices don’t justify the quality.

I would go by tiers.

Kindergarten/Pre-School is fine as it is. Middle-School is where you’re to learn the basics of life and in general of what you need to know when developing. High School is to be the place where those same courses are advanced, like you’re to learn how to budget, how to file taxes, sex education a priority .etc

College is the real deal where you’re to learn even more advanced courses. These things would just assist eachother so nobody feels like they’re left behind, everyone is on the same page.

And it would be optional credit, not mandatory.

I do not think this is about appeasing Trump or embracing a Trump presidency. It’s just them showing their true colors.

The same kind of corporations that play make-believe whenever June comes around with corporately-sponsored “acceptance” products.

Poorer understanding of money and value was detected.

Democrats: Takes forever to get around to doing what they need to do until it’s last minute. The last minute passes them, they’re throwing a fit about it.

Republicans: Starts pulling strings and tapping connections to throw as much shit around as possible and orchestrate theater to pad the time it takes.

Twitter ended up inadvertently turning to his favor though. It has turned into even more of a hotbed for unchecked, uneducated and loud morons from alt-right/qanon/incel/republicans.

He gets TikTok though, it’ll just be another platform to blast full volume even more.

The guy is stupid rich, he could theoretically buy Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp and Reddit if he wanted to. He’s just not choosing to at this time.

Leaving shoes or anything laying around the apartment, making an annoying obstacle course.

You need things to work towards.

Also, if one thinks going to work is bad, there will not ever be a worse feeling than coming home fired and pondering how you’re going to upkeep your expenses and a roof over your head.

Kudos for the Sega Genesis Shadowrun screenshot there.

And those people will turn around and cry about privacy issues. The cycle repeats…

Once that inauguration is through, I am not going to pay a lick of attention to media. I’d like to not hear about Trump, I will skim over his name and to give anyone an idea as to how much I avoid Trump, I mute any video/audio before a word is uttered from that shitty mouth of his.

People need to understand that they don’t control everything and everything is out of their control in some cases, like the wildfires. It’s a tragic event, yes, but things are going about as they can be in such a time.

If I get too wrapped up in everything going around me that I have no control in and how the media loves to shove a particular individual or a group of corrupted individuals down my throat, life will look ten times miserable.

I really love stuff like this.

These are the kind of things rich people would fawn over and hold others over on about having the latest tech. But then it’s like, you see this shit, you realize how better off you are without them.

Self-diagnosing in general is dumb. That’s why Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD even and even Autism are seemingly record levels.

It’s discrediting actual sufferers and once again putting them under the rug. It pisses me off when I see bodycam videos, right away, the person arrested immediately starts going over a laundry list of mental issues that they have. All the while screaming, resisting arrest and shit.

Then we got armchair psychologists and therapists on the internet who practice without a license (or knowledge) that actually “grants” people these issues after just sitting down and having a conversation with someone.
