I don't know, I'm not a collective. I'm just a guy. If an indie game is good I praise it, and the rest of the slop I avoid.
I know I'm getting older now because I get the sense that this is a generational drama that is unnecessary. Decades ago when I was renting physical game discs at the brick and mortar stores, you just browsed the selection and grabbed what looked kinda cool and tried it out for a couple days. If you loved it you would save up to buy it, if you hated it then you're only out $2-4.
Theres always been a huge selection of literal trash games that you have to sift through. I think it's honestly childish drama to assume that because slop exists that we have to make a huge deal out of it
The second amendment isn't confusing. Only someone who is trying to be deceptive, a bad actor, can find ways to make the 2A unclear. And to that end, all laws can be made to say something else. This is the power of sophistry
First one that comes to mind is the movie A Quiet Place with John Krasinski and his real wife Emily Blunt. John's character leads his family through the impossibly difficult times of alien occupation. He's a leader and brave.
Second one is Joel from The Last of Us. He falls apart after the death of his daughter and becomes a criminal, but when Ellie comes into his life his character develops into trying to become a dad again. He's not perfect but he tried to protect Ellie and be there emotionally for her. And by the end Joel does exactly what we would all want to do to help our daughter.
Both those are dads put into extreme situations. I can't think of a regular dad like me just working and serving his family.
Edit: Adding the character Sealy Booth in the tv show Bones. After several seasons the main characters marry and have a child. Booth is portrayed as a devoted, strong, just father.
Even obscure shit like cheap travel, van life hobby has a bunch of channels where barely dressed young women bend over and do obvious body displays while showing off their camper etc. My wife was oblivious and I'm like babe, I guarantee you these bitches have an OF or something worse
We are going to more or less lose global communication as AI proliferates. Hell even local stuff will be highly suspicious if fake video can eventually be easily created with an AI. Newspapers would be just as untrustworthy.
Somehow we will have to function as a society wherein all forms of long distance communication with strangers becomes most likely fake.
I don't honestly know how we avoid slavery at that point? Remain armed at all times I suppose....
