Sounds like an Illuminati conspiracy to me

lol I dunno, what else could you do with them? It’s a funny comic, but the joke is the pun, it kinda ends there

Love custardfist, one of the funnier webcomics currently

Yeah, I mean outside the US WhatsApp is basically texting for everyone I’ve met. It’s definitely accomplished that. I just can’t imagine something that massive not being used to spy. Especially given that it’s free. I don’t imagine they’re above reading messages. Because all of that server power and access worldwide, they’re definitely prying somehow. Like we are just now finding out they’ve been circumventing VPNs and all methods to block their cookies? It’s literally impossible they’re not prying data out of WhatsApp users.

But google and Gmail are massive spying machines. They’re not just cultural impact loss leaders.

I would bet a ton of money on WhatsApp being a spy machine in a way people don’t know yet. Their bullshit of end to end encryption and privacy while being a free app is undoubtedly some ruse to squeeze data out of people. There isn’t a fucking doubt in my mind.

Facebook is owning and operating a free and private messaging service? To what end? Yeah, nah. Not fuckin buying it.

I’ve only played SH2. What was the problem with ascension?

When people talk about “men” being the problem, they don’t mean that men as a whole have this problem. It’s a problem and it mostly rears its head in men—yeah, usually older white men. And when it shows in (typically older) women, it’s often (if not always) internalized misogyny from years of patriarchal structures shaming and scandalizing women’s bodies.

So saying it’s a “puritanical problem” is really saying that the waspy religious subgroups have outsized power and they’re largely problematic men and they have indoctrinated large groups of younger people and women.

How was the second one “so bad?” It had incredible narrative, more in depth gameplay, challenging and coherent themes, depth of storytelling, it took risks that a lot of people didn’t like, but you can’t say they were done poorly. They were just challenging for people. And that’s good. The same stories told with the same character arcs following the same hero’s journey is boring. TLOU2 challenged you with the characters making choices you wouldn’t, it challenged you with co placated character arcs that saw well-loved characters turn into the villains, while the villain of the story became the one to end the cycle of violence…it was incredible. That worldbuilding, the design, the voice acting, the mocap acting, the more varied fighting styles, the expansive world…I mean, shit, I really do want to know what you thought actually classified as “bad” about that game. It pissed people off. But that does not make it a bad game by any stretch of the imagination.

Has seriously no one mentioned The Last of Us? That’s crazy.

I think the second should be included.

As well as red dead redemption 2.

The storytelling is just top tier. Better than literally almost all media made today.

Also, it really just depends on your age. Have you believed for decades? Not believing at some point in your life will be some kind of earth shaking change.

The kochs have been the actual boogeymen of American politics for a long time. They’re basically what the right always fear soros is, but for racist, imperialist, corporatist shit. They basically responsible for citizens united.

lol oh okay so you just have no idea what you’re talking about.

Why’s that? I enjoyed cyberpunk. I mean, of course it was released with a fuck ton of problems, but that’s not on the studio, it’s on the money people behind the studio forcing them to release and start making their money back.

“Plagiarism exists, therefore a plagiarism machine can’t be wrong!”

lol gtfoh

Mudvayne’s practice tapes

Wow. That’s the first and only mudvayne reference I may have ever heard. Even when they had that one song I can’t even remember playing on the radio. Crazy ref my guy

GTA Online still brings in a billion dollars every year. The next GTA will try to capitalize and expand on that, and cannot, then, be perfect.

Ftfy

I downloaded it on this rec and I’ve been playing the hell out of it the past day. Sweet game that’s filled the last of us void I’ve been in since finishing those games. Def different, but similar genres and themes (so far anyway).

The joke is that this massive beautiful tree was cut down no matter how long it’s lived or how many things it survived, only to be felled by these jokers. And they’re oblivious to the irony of pointing out it’s survival after just killing it

⭐️ Brazil mentioned ⭐️🪘

Chile would like a word
