The state of vidya
Video games has not helped me become a better man, in any way, shape, or form. It has not taught me anything I could not learn more effectively through other endeavours.
I may regret wasting so much of my life on video games, but I don't blame myself. I blame the industry. I blame the shareholders, who have made dopamine squeezed slaves of so many of us, including me. What started off as a fun anti-establishment coffee break in the 70s has turned into the most debased, degenerate, shallow, yet legal heroin addict equivalent creating machine.
I despise these modern companies. I hate the CEOs, the developers, the marketers all alike. And you should too. If you actually buy the naive narrative that you have made some rational consumer decision in a free market economy to waste away on video games you need to seriously consider how these products are made, what the intent of their making is. It is not made for you, to benefit you, it is made to benefit them. And only them. They don't give a shit about right or wrong, as evidenced by the woke shit propaganda (being slowly replaced now by something else). They don't give a shit about bad or good gameplay; if they could make money from a game that required you to kill yourself they would. It's all about money now, and has been exclusively for at least the last two decades. And if you already know this, thinking it trite and obvious, you are little more than an addict in deep denial.
Anyway, silksong is ass and shills should an hero
