  • Eh, not impossible but not easy. It’s not just “go outside” or “social media is the problem”.

    In reality, capitalism needs to be reigned in and we need a societal shift and restructuring of how we do things. A removal of the profit motive from many many aspects of society.

    Public and higher education needs to be redesigned from the ground up:

    • Remove the profit motive completely. Free for all, all the way to the top.
    • Emphasize critical thinking.
    • Emphasize finding people’s strengths and what they’re naturally good at, as well as what they enjoy and are passionate about and what society needs as a whole, as opposed to just how to “get that money”.

    Health care needs to be socialized and completely removed from the profit motive, obviously. Free for all.

    All necessities need to be socialized and removed from the profit motive:

    • The entire energy sector, oil, gas, electric, whatever. No more millionaires, no more shareholders getting free money.
    • The entire information network. Phone, internet is a necessity now. Try getting a job without, or even functioning. Free or cheap and regulated for the benefit of all, no millionaires.
    • A vehicle (crazy!?). Unless you’re in NYC it’s impossible to live without a ride.
    • Housing, food.

    Workweek needs to be dropped to 32hr as a transition down to 24 or even less. For everyone. No more dumb jobs. You don’t get to be a millionaire just by making YouTube videos stuffing your face full of fast food, or being a landlord, etc.

    So much more. This is pretty damn commie isn’t it? Am I a commie!? Oh well it’s never gonna happen we can all work overtime in pointless jobs making other people rich until it’s time to die, and we can be depressed while we do it.







  • Meh.

    Even if 90% of theft is greed and meant to be resold for profit, I’ll still ignore it for the 10% that are stealing out of extreme desperate necessity.

    We live in a country that has 100 billionaires that are undeserved and unearned, arguably. You can become a Millionaire solely by making YouTube videos stuffing your face full of fast food and gaining 500lbs, as a freakshow that gets lots of likes/subscribes. All while public school teachers are on food stamps and infrastructure around the country is degrading and not being improved, etc., etc.

    The system we have is trash. Obviously I don’t support stealing from the little guy, but theft from large corporations I’ll always support. Large corporations inherently steal from the poor, directly and indirectly. It’s inherent to our capitalist system.

    I support the sentiment of the meme.




  • Yeah I mostly agree with you. Except there was plot and lore in 2016, it was just minimalist as you said, but more importantly it was executed really well. It had the “doom” feel. In addition to awesome gameplay and soundtrack.

    Eternal was great for the gameplay, and even an improvement in some ways. The lore and plot was ridiculous though. Way overdone, didn’t feel like doom.

    I say go back to 2016 style with the gameplay improvements of eternal.
