Ok so you'd rather be ignorant and ignore a link that proves you wrong. Reading is not hard.

I did read it, I disagree with it and you, you refuse to engage in any meaningful discussion rather than regurgitate and article that I already read. I'm not keeping a cool head and so I'm bowing out, have some tact please. A diagreement on a subjective issue does not equate to ignorance

God damn, you're older than I thought. Millennials may indeed be the first to take mental health more seriously and be open about it, but I'm guessing you just think that makes us snowflakes.

*shrug*

On the flip side, some people have definitely gotten sucked into being made to feel worse than they actually are. The road indeed goes both ways. It's fantastic that resources continue to grow and become easier to access, and at the same time, people need to remember that feeling emotions other than "happy" is normal and doesn't necessarily mean you have a mental health issue.

Read the link. They wouldn't have had any income in the first place.

Piracy defenders just make me too angry to continue to carry on this conversation.

You don't take anything if you download a game, you copy it.

And the developers don't see any income from that specific action, which is just ethically wrong.

You will own nothing and be happy, you will eat the bugs, you will live in a pod.

What a brave and controversial thought, now actually say what you really feel instead of echoing some cheap battlecry that originated via 4chan

If you don't have enough faith in your product to produce a hard copy, I won't have any faith in it either.

Very strange hill to die on and also incredibly disinformed about how publishing works. Actual indie devs with shoestring budgets can't afford factory production time, much less the resources and logistics to sell their work physically.

or... "digital has no value to me"

A lot of things don't have value to me. Doesn't mean I go and steal because of that. Furthermore, the "experience" does have value. Why should someone get to experience something for free while others agree to a social contract? What makes them so special?

Copyright infringement is not theft. Going into a store and taking something is.

Since you don't own the games, you can't steal them.
Piracy isn't stealing.

Both of these can't be true. You either do own games or you don't. If you have gamer ownership, then piracy is theft. If you don't have game ownership, then you still have idk, license theft or something to that degree.

Really I wish people would stop being shitty and just say what it is, "I like free stuff"

My house in the GC game felt like a home, but my house in NH was just a part of my island that gave me a little bit of extra ability to micromanage. A "home" in a game should feel like a a place of stability and control that you can come back to when you take a break from the rest of the game world, but when I control the entire world like I do in NH, "home" doesn't really matter anymore.

That sums it up really well. I don't mind having more things to do in the game, diving was a great addition for example. I also like being able to decorate outside as well, though I wish other villagers would put some of their own furniture outside too

Piracy isn't stealing.

Okay, go into your nearest store that sells games and take a copy out of there for free then
It kills me that the original concept for Animal Crossing lasted all of two games before power creeping you, the villager that is just a relatively small part of the game world, into the complete overlord of what is now no longer a village but a real estate development project
It's 80F inside right now, feels comfy

Also I will say, while Gen Z is pretty awful, at least theyre not making iPad kids. Thats entirely millennials doing.

Parenting is kind of a fresh concept when you think about it. Not "keeping a child alive for 18 years" but parenting.

HUGE generalizations incoming:

Gen Z got screwed over because millenials were largely spoiled and lived care free lives, they did not pick up on many practical skills as a result. Their Gen X parents did this because they valued individuality and freedom after being raised (and screwed over) by a boomer generation that was largely about discipline and order, since they were raised by parents who knew about untold horrors of war and disease, and so they were focused on simply getting by in life.

The parents of boomers (who I am sure also have a generational title) were literally living in an era where people were still cranking out huge families because children still died in infancy and childhood in frequent occasion, or you simply needed that many children to run the farm, woodshop, butcher, etc; Childhood was survival to these people.

The boomers were the first generation for centuries and centuries to see an incredibly massive shift in how they viewed and treated their own children, nothing like that had ever been seen before, at least not in America. We're still seeing the effects of it today as a result and honestly, as much as I do like to riff on Gen Z, I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for the boomers and everyone since too, this is all new stuff, nobody really knows what they're doing.

what about the people who only played it because it was free?

I feel you're ignoring the part where I said "if piracy wasn't an option" lol

Unless you're talking about F2P games or games you were given secondhand for free etc; in which case, those are all fringe cases that aren't relevant to the larger topic of "piracy of new titles that are not secondhand and are all a paid for product."
If piracy wasn't an option, then they would have to purchase the game. Piracy facilitates the loss of sales.

Of the Nu Metal probably PowerMan 5000 for me

I still love these guys, their newest album was excellent

Hi. Gen Z here. It's because we're all confused, upset, and hopeless - so sometimes we black out for a moment thinking about the economy and political unrest and our feelings of how we are all doomed to never know the happiness and stability that others before us have felt.

Literally all you have to do is make friends and stop being online 24/7

That's one of the most accurate descriptions of what it means to be human I've ever seen.

Poignant and brief to the point of mastery.

I was wondering how that's even possible since 10000 days is 27 years but then I realized 1998 was already 27 fucking years ago and now I'm angry and confused and sad

This is me a lot lately, all three of those emotions and all the shock of that realization. You are not alone, buddy

It's important to remember when discussing the youth that they'll all die in the climate wars so their weird takes don't matter.

I think they'll be fine. China and India are both the major population and industrial zones on the planet. As soon as they implode on themselves, things will be better, ecologically speaking. Might have a few tough years of not being able to take Advil or getting cheap plastic :(
Hell yeah brother, keep up that good work and be someone's inspiration
Thanks for sharing that lol Love it when people have good humor about things
You get way more benefit mentally, physically, and socially from just working out and eating non-processed foods. If "losing weight" is all you care about, liposuction has been around for years and without any chemically adverse effects.

It's insane to me that people will generate any reason to not just live a simpler, cleaner life style
I hate AI because it is a huge resource drain. People are just trashing the planet because they're too stupid to learn how search websites work or want to jerk it to anime chicks as if there wasn't 5 decades of content already out there

Taco Bell did not create the chocotaco.

It has also been cancelled as of a couple of years ago :(

I can't belive I ever thought Limp Bizkit was cool.... watching that video makes me want to go back in time 25 years and punch myself in the face repeatedly. That was awful.

No fun Nancy
It accomplishes what it sets out to be, I can't say that I have ever been disappointed with Taco Bell, let's just say that.

I don't buy cosmetic DLC. Story DLC are just expansion packs which nobody ever complained about back then.

I still feel like a lot of devs will just turn cut content into expansions, or at least they know they can plan for it ahead of time. Not my favorite practice in the world, I can barely think of any DLCs that I've really enjoyed.

I guess the Ultimate versions of Monster Hunter could be considered the same thing and I prefer those over the new expansion models. It was fun going through a different version of the base game experience and seeing how quickly you could body the returning monsters lol
Nope, I either use an ancient Logitech that I've had for over a decade or an Xbox One controller, just depends on the title.
So go ahead and talk shit!

Nintendo also arbitrary raised the price of video games in general

They knew people would still pay for it, only people to blame are consumers who keep letting worse and worse practices happen.

If you ever bought DLC, you have no right to complain about the new digital centric landscape either.
Oooooh you want to unplug your router and not use the internet for a weeeeek

Ooooooh you want to do a digital deeeeetox

Oooooh

Why are you comparing being personally attacked to somebody doing something they enjoy that has no direct impact on you and causes no harm to anyone?

Touche

Cringe" is an emotion you choose to feel. Rather than lashing out at or thinking less of those that evoke it, consider why you're making that choice.

Oh yeah and I'm sure if I insulted you to the point of tears, that sadness would be the emotion you chose to feel, right?

This guy wants to take jobs away instead of improving the wage and cost of goods systems.

I don't his specific angle, but I do see this reaction a lot and people tend to forget that any time one industry disappears, others pop up in its place to fulfill the economical or cultural niche.

Assuming restaurants collapse, other food services will take their place and grocery markets and kitchenware suppliers would see a huge uptick, meaning more employment opportunities in those areas. It would just be a matter of gradually and softly transferring jobs from one zone to the next
I double fucking dare you to unplug your internet for a week. You won't.
Irregardless of definition, their fun too watch
Based on my very limited experiences with people who went through some kind of bodily or mental trauma from non-violent situations and who were prescribed a cocktail assortment of drugs, and also NOT as a medical professional and NOT giving medical advice...

It sounds like maybe you're having some adverse interactions between all the different drugs in your system. Again, I can't actually offer any advice but that may be a conversation to have with your doctor.

This next part is actual advice: I would also check your diet and make sure you're getting all the nutrition that you need, having a deficit in anything vital for your system can lead to some pretty bad brain fog. There's a book called "How Not to Die" that I cannot recommend enough to people about the benefits of a well maintained diet.

And to loop back around to your doctors, remember that they work for you. If you feel like crap and aren't doing well and you think they're no longer helping, go find that second opinion. Best of luck, TC.
I think some of them are cool, some of them are cringe. Hate what they do to the fanbases though. Can't play a single game of Overwatch or League without someone yapping about how some pro player thinks my pick is F-tier and it's like, yeah, I also have half the APM and accuracy of that player, anyone I pick will be F-tier lol
Old is gold
omg he is literally me
It's about the spirit of improvement and friendly contest, seeing how far we can push the human limit. That shit is cool as hell, man.

I used to feel the same for a long time, but I've come to the realization that it was really just self-inflicted shame. So I like cute girls doing cute things, that's all that matters. I'll like what I like and forget what anyone might think.

There's still a lot of the otaku culture that I find annoying and gross. Especially Idol Culture. And it's not like I'm going to pretend they're actually my "waifu". But there's nothing wrong with appreciating and connecting with a character that I like.

Insanely based and appreciationpilled

Honestly, its basically just the UK with different weather and landscapes. Not a terrible place to be or anything, but I cant see myself hurrying back. Its much less interesting than visiting places with other cultures.

That's good to know. I also imagine it's a bit harder to make a unique trip out of that. At least if you visit the UK, it's a quick hop over to the rest of western Europe

Who the hell tips at a movie theater?

It's a chain where you order food and drinks and they send people out to deliver it to your table.
Yes, the obsession with always owning the latest things is a harmful habit to have. I'm more than happy to wait a year or two to pick up a used Switch 2 for cheap.
