So I saw a game on Steam called Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, and it looked kind of fun. It had a demo, so I downloaded it to give it a shot.
Within the opening seconds of the game, you're told that the world is being threatened by "evil oil", and that the antagonist is someone named "Alien Musk".
I played it for like 5 minutes, went "Huh, this is kind of fun. Shame that they couldn't fucking help themselves but to shove political agenda bullshit into the game." and uninstalled it.
go back.
to actually address your point, a fundamental difference between this forum and others is the fact that it's anonymous. we actively encourage people not to use their personal information, therefore separating the self from the internet.
A person who is terminally online has their identity directly tied to their online footprint. they live and breathe e-drama because it is life to them.
