I like reading these comments, it seems like we’re finally going to step away from cozy games. I didn’t hate them, but I also didn’t love them because you cannot really make a cozy game that actually deals with the things we’re all dealing with unless your only problems are
“The bullies are hurting my feelings” which yes that can happen, but I think it’s safe to say we’re all dealing with problems way bigger than that and the cat witch ain’t cutting it.
It’s not reactionary to want art that actually reflects life instead of just telling you “it’s gonna be okay, white people got this.”
That’s why we’re all at bingo, it’s not for fun, this is our retirement plan.
This is the reality of living in the US. You either break you back from bullshit job to bullshit job, you go to college to get a good paying job doing nothing at best or exploitation at worst, you work for a military adjacent company, or you join the military. There is always an exception to the rule, but it always reinforces the point.
No I read your other comment.
I just think there’s a middle ground where you can live in what most of the world would consider luxury and not be directly contributing to violence at home or abroad.
I already know this is where we’re going to differ because imho this is a useless point that doesn’t really help anyone because…
And depending on where you live, many teachers are indeed living in what much of the world would consider luxury thanks to imperialism.
Like okay let’s just stretch the word luxury until the seams rip. You can always find some random position somewhere where someone is making fine money, but that obfuscates the reality where, no, teachers as a whole are not doing fine. There are not plentiful jobs that are paying well for the masses of people and those that have them are usually assisting in direct exploitation of the third world. This isn’t controversial unless you have no idea what living in the US is actually like.
I know you fuckers are a bunch of olds
Alright see you at bingo night big dawg.
Aight but what exactly are you going to do to reverse hundreds of years of bad decisions? These people want you to believe that if you fix a few problems here and there you can really turn things around instead of the obviously correct choice that sometimes you really have to push forward into a new state of things. The idea that you can return is dumb suck off me.
Damn Pelosi looks like shit she didn’t look this bad even a few years ago.
It’s really not an exaggeration. I can go into detail but you’re not going to like it.
I have no idea why this comment has so many upvotes. This is not a dig on you personally at all, but straight up, no there isn’t any steps between poverty jobs and jobs that are directly tied to the MIC/ the energy sector. Most jobs outside of that is food service, retail, warehouse work, package delivery etc. even the trades are not safe from this since I worked as an HVAC tech and A LOT of shit is straight up made by DUPONT, Raytheon, 3M and their subsidiaries and I can’t imagine this isn’t the same with other trades. If you’re not doing these kind of jobs then what exactly are you doing that your able to not working for fascist and also making a good wage?
I’m not trying to rant or anything but I could literally sit here and reply for days on this very subject.
principled in their statements
That’s not what’s wrong with openly saying you support Hamas and oct7
Exactly. Like I don’t really care how good you think your cat witch detective game is, you’re not going to be able to express the anguish and pain people feel daily. It’s just not going to happen. Obviously the opposite is also true and we shouldn’t allow ourselves to wallow in the grim dark future of the 41st millennium forever, but if I’m gonna stare into the abyss I would rather something more real stare back.
