Work culture is being tuned to the point that everyone is miserable in it except those that find the work itself to be pleasure in a “hustlegrind sigma mindset” culty way.

“Hating furries” was basically a default personality substitute for the first few decades of common internet use, too.

Hottest 12 months so far.

NFTs.

Cryptocurrency was already a bad idea overall, but at least it had some function and purpose compared to rent-seeking ledger slots that are associated with ugly cartoons.

Wonderful.

I didn’t think anything good would be likely to come after so much that early in your reply.

I kept reading.

Yeah I’m out. I quit Reddit for a reason.

I didn’t say “all porn bad.” I in fact urged moderation.

i hope i got my point across

Since you had such an ungenerous interpretation of what I said, it’s fair game for me to say that claiming “it’s (porn in this case) not going to affect the life of the person viewing it unless said person lets it” is naively idealistic and does nothing to actually help anyone that might need help after getting stuck in a rut from excessive hedonic treadmill running, be it from porn or anything else.

It’s not going to affect the life of the person viewing it unless said person lets it.

Does that apply to compulsive gamblers? “Unless said person lets it” is pretty presumptive and condemns people that may actually have a problem and no longer be able to conjure the willpower to stop whatever the negative habit is.

Taps the sign about moderation

Mario 3 is still a good game today, and I know some kids that weren’t anywhere near born when it came out that still loved it.

Nostalgia isn’t the only reason to enjoy old games and “the bad” shouldn’t be assumed to be there for purposes of false equivalency platitudes. Even just counting predatory monetization, the modern game industry is worse on average than it used to be and its desired profit margins and methods of profit are different and worse than before with a more focused exploitation model.

There’s some good recent games that stand out entirely on their own that are not Cawadoody trash or gacha trash or liiiiiiiiiiiiiive services trash.

It’s a golden age for indy titles.

I mean, I’m pretty sure some will be nostalgic for Undertale/Deltarune. And maybe Disco Elysium.

The Slayers series was my old sometimes-problematic favorite.

The music slapped.

If you’re fine with utterly erasing pretty much every human being conceived after that point in favor of new human beings (or other creatures entirely) may as well go big or go home and start here.

“NFTs” were an attempt to rent-seek on the internet, demanding kickbacks for the dubious ownership of an entry on a ledger that is usually associated with an ugly picture.

There’s a reason that most of the “founding fathers” only wanted slaveowning rich white men to run the country.

Worf as Pigpen checks out

Is this one of those “this is uncomfortably political to me and I don’t like that like that, therefore it isn’t a wholesome chungus 100 maymay” things?
