this meme is baffling to me because every young person i know either doesn't want to get their license or wishes they lived in a place where they didn't need to own a car
i think games like this suffer a lot from thinking the only people playing them are going to be 20 something cottagecore tumblr users and not gilf hunters
literally every one of these these stardew-alikes suffer from putting all their body diversity on undateable characters... like why is mistria gonna make me look at 4 twinks and 5 skinny girls but these mindscramblingly hot older woman are off limits
like who doesn't want to drive less ???? this is a genuine question who the fuck LIKES driving over the concept of public transportation or walk-able cities
do you know who wants more accessible railroad travel in america? most of the population. do you know the reason we don't have it? because car manufacturers overrule public opinion with money and force us to all live near mega highways
do you guys remember the last time they did this and everyone wanted it and then elon musk shit and pissed himself and tried to use his money to veto public opinion and build a stupid fucking tunnel instead
The Federal Railroad Administration is conducting a study to evaluate restoring daily, long-distance, intercity train service.
Their initial proposal would add 15 long-distance routes, serving 61 additional metropolitan areas and creating a true national network.
@Sabrinasaline
i do get that at least. not being able to drive has made me feel really lonely, but i'm on the spectrum and live in a really high density traffic location. i can barely get behind the wheel without shaking. really no one should even want me on the road to begin with
like why is the main assumption that the player character, of entirely indiscriminate age and background, is a young adult? why are you assuming no one older than 25 is playing your farm sim?? is it not indefinitely weirder to limit older players to exclusively young bachelors
which is to say nothing of the fact that i'm in my early 20s and the only characters i ever want to date are massive, morally dubious, and over the age of 40
also i get everyone wants to date the hot older women but can you guys let me date celine's dad. i'll be their third i don't want to break up the marriage but please let me d
@transjunkrat
terminally online trans people will bash each other for funny haha gender jokes meanwhile today i found out it's now illegal for my nurse to give me medication
idk who needs to hear this but the actual creatives of a thing - like the animators, boardists, voice actors, etc - almost never see any of the money earned through viewership. most of the sale revenue will go to the producers.
i've been telling people for years that the game theory brand kickstarted an entire industry behind teaching kids how to be as media illiterate as possible
it’s a decent video but they ignored all of the billford implications and came to the conclusion that the oracle is bill’s ex i’m genuinely tweaking rn
@Pokemonprimed
omg fellow floridian... yeah this post was me being mad about the highways in central florida lmao. trying to learn to drive here where there's basically no calm backroads is insanity
the comments on this being like "um acktually right wingers want to censor us" are so telling because no one on earth is trying to censor your dumb fucking fanfiction and the only people who think they're being censored 24/7 are right wingers
the most successful right wing internet op has definitely been those people getting pr*ship and fujoshi sides of the internet to fully embrace 'fiction =/= reality' to justify pedophilia and have a totally uncritical eye to the sexualization of race and transness
Happy

miles edgeworth isn't in an internet fandom miles edgeworth is the kind of guy with a shelf collection and the dvd box set from the 90s
i hope they write the name of every murdered palestinian in the blood of cowardly politicians. i hope the guilt of slaughtered children feels like maggots crawling across their bare flesh. i hope every breath they taste for the rest of their life tastes like bile.
@IwriteOK
it doesn't help that when you try to say 'hey i'm worried about the fact that biden has started aligning with the alt right when it comes to certain issues that get people killed' you get accused of wanting the fascist in power instead
rewatching gravity falls is realizing every bad thing anybody has ever said about mabel is not only incorrect but also completely applicable to dipper tenfold
i'm sorry to tell you this but 14 year olds calling you cringe for liking incest and maus being taken off high school reading lists is not the same thing
quick reminder that fanartists are still people who receive notifications on their work so please don’t qrt the art I spent hours on to add uncomfortable and rude comments.. please.
@heartslabyulian
my favorite thing sebek does is when he shows up in an event to have 2 lines where he screams or insults someone and then isn't seen again
@solitaireshep
YEAH... YEAH......... tbh i do feel like since it's still early access there's a good chance a lot of these npcs become dating options cause a lot of people seem to be saying this in reviews and such
@TheKayaplaaya
especially because you can give your character facial hair and stuff. white hair is an option. I get younger people are probably the main demographic but clearly not their ONLY demographic
i don't think i'll ever understand why studios pour millions of dollars into projects like this for a product that looks maybe an 1/8th as cool as a tv show for children that came out almost two decades ago
the levels of paper mario fan are as follows:
1) casual enjoyer
2) would consider it one of your favorite games ever
3) you're in my group chat at 4 in the afternoon talking about how you noticed the price of mr softener is 1 coin more expensive in the ttyd trailer
i already see people saying stuff about it being staged so for anyone not watching the news right now: bystanders died and the shooter was gunned down so no i don't think it's staged lmao
oh thank god i'm so glad people aren't forgetting about the iilluminaughtii shit in the midst of all the colleen ballinger drama because blaire is such a fucked up person who should be laughed off the internet
the mr beast thing is so infuriating because for years anyone who didn't trust the guy and his insanely wealthy productions got harpooned online. now all these people are seeing all these reports coming out and going "WHO COULD'VE SEEN THIS COMING??"
bitch we did
i do not mean to be particularly dramatic but seeing my personal hero when i was like 11 talk about being a trans ally is making me so emotional. thank you mr. conroy.
I don't think it's rudely forcing upon others to say what you want to be called. It’s something every human is owed & is the very reason we invented names/descriptive words in the first place. Please say what you want me to call you when introducing yourself even if I didn’t ask.
