Will things get better /v/? I'm scared

it's only a little dark age

nearly everything in life has been only becoming worse i don't really have any hope for the future

For you as a jeet in the current era? no.

Trump just fired his economic stats guy because he didn't like how low the numbers were for job creation also by doing means that were beyond fucked. Also more visa censorings

it’s just…. white women only want mixed race children now. they only breed with hung brown guys. the only hope for autistic nerdy white dudes at this point is to take estrogen and have sex with alpha males

Just general apathy at the various, simultaneous, coordinated global efforts by both public and private entities to reign in the internet, coupled with all the other shit going on in the world aside from that. I assume.

no.
maybe.
but probably not.

>>717568552
I'm not really sure what the goal is here with internet censoring especially when userbases will metastasize further away from the clearnet as a result and form communities from the eyes of watchful parties.

They typically do. But sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. Humanity only learns lessons the hard way, history be damned.

>>717568814
Well then I'm gonna do my part to start teaching the normalfags how to not put up with whatever brand new bullshit governments feel like cramming down their throats. Surely even they must have standards at some point. Everyone has a line in the sand.

>>717570079
if they had standards or lines in the sand outside of their fundamental human needs like food, water, and air to breathe, they wouldn't be normalfags by definition. you can't teach a normalfag to think critically, the same way you can't teach a dog to read. they are very literally not equipped for it. and that's by (evolutionary) design. civilization is literally impossible without a baseline underclass of interchangeable bodies to complete tasks without rebellion.

Only when you disconnect from the system
Though as our friend Ted K showed us that's only a temporary solution
The system will get you eventually
No matter what

The peak was 2000, the system now has reached its height and only seeks to grow until it consume the earth and beyond.

>>717568047 (OP)
Yes things will get better. But they most likely have to get worse before that happens. Much worse.

>>717571728
my greatest hope for the future is that after everything collapses, all of the easily accessible surface deposits of fossil fuels, agricultural fertilizers, and rare earth metals will be near-exhausted. the next generation of people like 500-1000 years from now will be naturally capped at a medieval level of technology, preventing them from devolving into the over-comforted mass reproducing roaches we live as today. just thousands and thousands of years on a thriving planet to look forward to.

It's the usual it's so over we are so back cycle.
Currently we are in the it's so over phase, but there is always a we are so back next.

Yes, of course they will
Will it be soon or even in our lifetimes? That's the unsure part

Vidya-wise, the tools and assets available to the common-man game dev are only getting better and more numerous. Even the passionate solo-dev can now produce games of a depth and quality his ancestor decades ago could only dream of, and its only going to improve.

>>717572559
there are more than 3 billion more people alive today than there were in 1987 - an increase of over 60% inside of just one lifetime.

I was thinking more that the whole industry would collapse and gaming would be seen as too unprofitable for the corporate faggots thus leading to a return of people that give a shit and not greedy retards and pretentious posers. But I dig the spirit.

>>717573972
Should of had have made it's more oblivous

>>717574056
thinking super long term is the only way to avoid the grief of realizing nothing significant will change in the short term. gaming will never fully collapse or 'go back' to how it was because the genie is out of the bottle, and too many people are using it as a dopamine/serotonin replacement for our fractured and asocial modern culture(s). you could fix it by fixing the culture, but in addition to basically being a wish on a magic lamp, the end state of a healthy culture is not needing or wanting games because you're too busy being part of a real physical community anyway.

>>717572124
>the world enters a Kenshi like collapse where the populace is locked to the planet with no way to break off from it due to the exhausted energy and material resources

What a grim state of affairs we find ourselves in.

>>717574295
that endstate doesn't feel grim to me. the planet is a big place, and it would be bigger if there were less people on it. why would we ever need to 'break off' or away from it when everything we need (and more) is right here?

Ask your self one question: do you have control over it? If not - CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

>>717574994
wish i could compartmentalize like this, but for me, it's essential for caring about anything at all. it's all in or all out for me. i can't necessarily control my wife but if i opted to just out-of-sight-out-of-mind her like you're suggesting people do to the world, i don't think i'd be able to even say that i loved her. once i shrug and pledge indifference towards something, it basically stops existing to me.

>>717574515
>why would we ever need to 'break off' or away from it when everything we need (and more) is right here?
To have a backup in case of an extinction level event that wipes the whole slate clean for a start. That and the ability to scale up by orders of magnitude since you won't be hardcaped resource wise by the material deposits on the planet itself. Another thing to consider is the potential for limitless solar energy that can be harvested directly from the Sun without having to account for limitations like daylight hours and atmospheric conditions. Also water that has been harvested offworld by rights should be clean not infected with forever chemicals. Ice pulled from Europa and the Kuiper Belt would be amongst the most pure sources of H2O in our current vicinity.

>>717575143
You are correct but that anon is suggesting to in fact stop caring so much about almost anything. It's the secret to a "happy" life that most monks, philosophers and sleeping normalfags have intuited for thousands of years. If your goal is to stop worrying, then stop worrying. If you feel compelled to care about things, that's you.

>>717574994
This. Calm. The fuck. Down.
This doesent concern you goyem.

>>717574994
This is what causes the collapse of countries when things get progressively worse and passive retards just think 'meh, nothing I can do about it'

>>717575156
idk anon. i'm just a simple luddite and i personally have no interest in or desire to live in a civilization that has to go through all of that to meet its needs. in my opinion, if you need more resources that badly, you have too many people. forever chemicals are just another side effect of having too many people and advancing farther than we ever should have in the first place. we evolved to live in small groups of ~80 people, and anything other than that is, to me, like taking a penguin or polar bear out of the arctic and plopping them in a landlocked desert. negative side effects are not just probable with that approach - they're inherent. in my perfect world, we'd be moving the opposite direction and figuring out how to thrive in as close to the natural state as possible, rather than propping up an artificial house of cards with so many people that you can't stop the machine without literal billions dying.

>>717568047 (OP)
Play old games

>>717572124
Global collapse is unlikely to happen because humans can be awfully resourceful when pushed against the wall. I think the best we can hope for is the lighter version of 1984 where global elites achieve undisruptable status quo and all countries merge into a few superpowers constantly at war with eachother over nothing in particular and overall state of the world pretty much frozen in time. It gives me some relief to know that I will not live to see it happen.

>disillusioned primitivist just so happens to have not thrown out his computer and binned his mass-produced medicine
How curious...

>>717574293
Eh, most people that hang onto gaming that do that are the outliers. They were there when shit was good. The real cancer are the normalfags. The people that use gaming and nerd culture as a social fashion accessory. And all getting rid of them requires is to raise the bar. Like anything the is more complex or doesn’t just let you ease through and they drop it. For fuck sake BG3 a game that every one of them claimed to be into has an extremely low completion rate. It more or less drops off after Chapter 1.

>>717575695
true, i should go live in the woods eating berries alone until all 8 billion other people on earth unanimously follow my example and we live in eternal peace and contentment. i'll pay my taxes with sticks and dirt in the mean time and solo any world government that disagrees with my use of the land.

>>717575894
Practice what you preach. People like you never actually want to get rid of clean water, plentiful food, electricity, modern medicine, home plumbing etc. because you at least subconsciously realise the enormous benefits of technologically advanced civilisation even as you spout your drivel.

>>717575752
raising the bar isn't realistic though. you might see that in an ultra-localized way like a single game being tuned to be particularly difficult, but more broadly? the whole point (of a business) is to make money and you'd be asking businesses to deliberately make less money by selling to a smaller niche market. the games didn't accidentally get dumber to easier.

i live in a small house that i built myself on a tiny plot of land i bought for $10,000 and grow ~50-75% of my own food. i haven't been to a doctor in over 30 years and i fully expect to die to whatever serious illness hits first. i'm not connected to the local utilities at all despite being forced at gunpoint to pay taxes to maintain them for other people like (You). i play vidya in my free time because why wouldn't i? i don't have a religious fear of electricity and i already need a PC for work (and taxes). unlike food and utilities, i'm not under any additional health risks via gaming from additives or under any contractual obligations to practically give away my excess power to the local power grid at prices that i don't get to set. i do the best i can inside of the system we've got. picrel is my backyard. what does yours look like? how have you been living out your personal beliefs?

What's up with absolute nitwits conflating basic genetic processes with purpose? There's no intent to evolution, or anything in science or nature really, it's completely blind and without purpose. Nature doesn't care what you do and the second you start talking about what "should and shouldn't be" you've completely departed from it.
