  • Making a good game is hard. Making brainrot garbarge is easy, and people play it just as much. So what is the point? I knew a guy who was cheap as fuck. I didn’t know his girlfriend as well, but people said she was pretty much the same. Once i remember he made fun off someone spending like 60 dollars on a video game and he said he’s not a “gamer”. A few month later we talked about some video games that we liked and i didn’t really include him in that conversation because of what he said before.

    He chimed in and said that he’s been playing clash of clans since release. Now i hardly even know what coc is, except mobile pay to win garbage (imo) so without even thinking, i asked if that game is even playable without spending money. He said oh no, he spends around 500 buchs a month. We were all shocked a bit, and he realised how ridiculous that is and immediately threw his girlfriend under the bus saying that she spends at least 1k a month for candy crush.




  • I always hated ads with a passion. I don’t really know why, even back in the 90’s when these was like 2 commercials per movie or something. It never felt right. So much so that i went out of my way to cut out all the ads in the movies i vcr’d. I ditched TV pretty early, because i just wouldn’t have it.

    But here is my question. These days, every youtuber and podcaster is basically a door to door salesman who just wan to sell sometimes quite literally shit to you. How do you continue to like people like that. I have my favourite podcasts, and i never want to hear any of their ads, because as much as i like them, they just spend 10min of their podcast lying to me and trying to sell me shit that they know is garbage. I’m not a parasocial guy, i know they are not my friends, but it still feels soooo dirty.
