Mario Kart on Steam? It's more likely than you think.
Valve is based in New Zealand isn't it?
Switch 2 is going to be a repeat of the Wii U disaster.
"No Timmy, I'm not paying 500 dollars for Mario Kart. Don't you already have that game?"
Bro doesn't know about dolphin
I don't know what Nintendo was thinking by doing the Nintendo tax bullshit harder than ever during a time when Americans are facing such heavy financial burdens
Ya know I'm gonna feel real stupid stockpiling this Steam games if Valve ever becomes a publically traded company, especially if they become ban happy like Reddit or VRChat
Edit: For the record, no I'm not banned from VRChat, I don't use it, I prefer Resonite, but I have heard horror stories of people getting 6 days bans for no reason out of the blue with staff refusing to elaborate.
That's really what it comes down to, Luxuries cost less, Necessities cost more
The greeds get away with it because they keep shouting "HE DID IT!" and the stupids keep falling for it.
One of my "favorite" examples of this was when Ronald Reagan murdered American Manufacturing jobs, causing mass layoffs and unemployment throughout the country, and a record high of people on welfare to deal with the job displacement... Causing the first signs of generations being born with lower standards of living than their parents.
So people naturally tarred and feathered Reagan, he's remembered as a monster, and is the reason why the Republican Party is a faded memory that we only bring up when teaching school children about why we don't have a Two-Party System. That wacky Trickle Down Economics.... I tell ya, glad no one's dumb enough to buy that anymore...
Oh sorry, that's what happened in the prime timeline, here reality doesn't run off of people learning from mistakes, this is a Murphy's Law Ruins Based Timeline where everything that can go wrong does go wrong.
Here Reagan invented the folktale of the "Welfare Queen" to imply that black people were getting more than "their fair share" from this welfare, and that Americans would be doing fine if only this specific group wasn't taking more welfare than they should be allowed.
A story that doesn't make any sense since if black people were getting more in Welfare, wouldn't Reagan be the one making that call? Ah but they thought of that, Reagan blamed a shadowy cabal of Democrats for getting the black people more then "their fair share" in a scheme to "overthrow whitey" in the name of "liberal guilt"
A story that also shouldn't work as Democrats had neither the motive nor enough control over the government to pull off this little trick, but people are stupid, so they bought it hook, line, and sinker.
You know our reality isn't the prime timeline, because none of this makes any fucking sense and it's only bad writing that lets people be this fucking stupid. I can see the person in the audience cringing at the fact this reality is self-aware and seems to think pointing out the bad writing is the same as doing better.
I'm sorry audience, I wish I could join you as merely an observer who has the option to watch a better movie or read a better book, one not bound by this bullshit, but... alas, that is my fate.
So if I die in the movie, I wake up in my trailer as the actress and enjoy the privileged life that entails? Maybe I'm played by a cischick with huge cans, that'd be awesome!
I knew these wasn't going to well when I used Epitaph to see Trump winning re-election, King Crimson can't skip me past the next four years...
Jojo references aside, I should listen to more of that band; Court of the Crimson King, which I listened to in order to try to better understand Diavolo's character, was pretty damn fire
A big reason why the old people don't get it, is that they see young people with luxuries, and don't realize that luxuries, like my high end gaming PC and addiction to junkfood.... Still costs less than three month's rent no matter how much I splurge
33, will be 34 not long after the Switch 2 launches....
At this point I welcome death, I feel like I've earned Valhalla at this point.
Absolute clown show
All is forgiven
They only say "Science-Based" as a dogwhistle to mean "Ignoring what science says about transpeople and substituting my own evidence based on ignorance and vibes."
I don't recall ever saying that a decline in religion lead to any of that. Literally all I said was that Reddit Atheism is more "edgy and tryhard" than it is helpful, if you somehow got "Abandoning religion did this." from that, I don't know what to say.
I just don't think it's fair to say it's uniquely a Christian problem that lead to fascism taking over America, especially when there are tons of "New Atheists" who are down with Jordan Peterson and other pseudo-intellectuals offering "Trans bad, upvotes to the Left" disguised as "Totally getting it bro"
Are you saying "Edgelords LARPing Atheism into a Religion" implies that somehow? Because what I mean by that is the tendency for so-called "Reddit Atheists" to treat Atheism like a Dogmatic Religion..
Bro thinks I'm a Christian simply because I don't like Edgelords LARPing Atheism into a Religion.

As a writer myself, I can only imagine how many the "All characters are 18 or older unless specifically said otherwise" blurb has saved. I feel like that blurb has become standard in fanworks and web original stories, even when they don't involve sex. If there's even the slightest chance anything that happens could be interpreted as someone's kink, you better believe it's there now.
I actually have one character from a series I wrote ages ago, I kind of abandoned it because I'm not edgy anymore, but I still use the lead character from time to time for art projects; commissions mostly, as she did have a fun character design being an undead gerbil and all.
I've retroactively upped her age from 17 to 19, just to be safe.
Though as I said, I was REALLY edgy when I wrote the book series (I was around 19 myself, I'm 33 now), so this is a change I'm actually happy to have made.
It wasn't pornographic, it was based on the movie "I Spit On Your Grave", only if the lead character was killed and got revenge from beyond the grave, so there was a sex scene with her, but it was intended to be immorally wrong and disturbing... and mostly talked about how this otherwise fearless street tough was suffering.... It was also over quick and not elaborated on too much beyond giving the sense that "This is horrible and she's very much not a fan" as the point of the book was that she died horribly, but was given a chance at revenge in the afterlife. (There wasn't even a content warning, because this was so long ago that "CWs" weren't a thing)
I've actually considered doing a reboot of her story and making it lighter and softer, maybe removing the rape from her death entirely.
Not because of fears of being targeted mind you, but because I like the character I created and would love to tell more stories with her, but I'm not the edgelord I was when I first wrote her and if I wrote about her today would never have handled her story the way I did.

Eyup, I remember this one guy this dude found who was insanely guilty. Was not only in a "relationship" with a child, but was trying to get him to do cocaine.
The pedo-hunter who was onto him decided the best thing to do wasn't to call the cops, but to harass him in a target and make a scene. So much so that the Target staff thought the hunter, not the pedo, was the criminal.
Police were called and they wound up arresting the pedo upon realizing the situation, but due to the harassment, the way the evidence was collected, and all that...
The only thing they could get him on was a traffic violation when the pedo was driving away from the Target.
My advice for people is this - Don't be a pedo-hunter, while it is noble that you wanna fight back against the cruelty of the world.. The truth is you're going to wind up doing more harm than good unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing. If you let your anger control how you do investigations, you're not that much different from the killer cops that butcher the innocent.
Especially since sex crimes are ones where the mere accusation is enough to ruin people's lives. I should know, I was nearly expelled at my Community College because a guidance consular blanket accused me of attacking a woman at her car. It was luck, a phone call to her boss, playing the autism card, and calling the bluff... asking her to prove the attack, provide witnesses, show me the police report, and she basically dropped everything and apologized when she couldn't. And I knew she couldn't, because I do not attack people, Hell, I have the muscle mass of Melvin Junko BEFORE he became the Toxic Avenger, even if I wanted to I'd just get my ass beat.
Later she tried it again over me using a female restroom as a transwoman, thankfully this was after Obama amended Title IX to cover transpeole so I once again had an Uno Reverse card. So I just got a call from her boss telling me to use whatever restroom I wanted and to ignore her.
I don't know what's wrong with that person or why she was so hellbent on getting me kicked out of school, but.. I think of her a lot, not only because she traumatized me with her false accusations, but because thanks to her, I do know that false accusations do indeed happen, and sometimes they come from powerful people.
You do know Lemme is a leftist site right? You're basically trying to sell bagels to Southerners and grits to Northerners
