Well, good thing they won't be the ones getting the abortions. Imagine if someone tried to tell them what they could and couldn't do with their bodies, that would be so crazy.

Watching my mom honestly. I saw how much of herself she lost raising me and dealing with my father. I watched her give up so much for family that could care less, and I watch her do it today. It's made me careful about who I form connections with and had made me want to be self sufficient above all else.

What? You mean a celebrity doesn't really give a fuck about people and just wants to make money? But they were so silly and sweet in their interviews!

Unless this hurts their bottom line, I doubt they'll move. Her behavior is not new and they auditioned and signed the contract anyway, the same way people still buy their house themed merch and take trips to Potter land or whatever the fuck it's called. That woman's growing wealth is a sign of just how little people are willing to give up.

I'm surprised they aren't just knocking in doors at this point. How terrifying.

Thank you for taking the time to give me a little glimpse into the game. I may wait for a sale then. Because I really did think it looked cool v

I remember when I first saw an ad for this game and thought it looked neat, added it to my wishlist and everything. I looked it up a few weeks/months later and all I saw were gooner posts, or articles about how she's saving games with her jiggle physics. I removed it simply because I didn't want to be involved with that community. It was so gross. 🤢

I had the reverse issue in Undertale. I went through it the first time and was mad at Undyne. I believe at the end of the normal route, I heard that Undyne still wanted to fight the humans or what have you. And I was like, "you think I'm monster? After I gave you water? I'LL SHOW YOU A MONSTER." I felt super bad killing Papyrus, but I was like, "I'm sorry, it's for the greater good."

At the end, I was warned that the game wouldn't forget that play through, and I was like, "Good."

"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY THINK WE'RE GOING TO STAND FOR THIS!

~~I'll take two, one for me, and one to sell~~

HOW COME THEY KEEP DOING THIS!? DON'T THEY KNOW THEY'LL LOSE ME AS A ~~repeat~~ CUSTOMER!?"

Oh, that's hard. Haunted Bookshop owner I think. Get to read books all the time, and talk with people from different times and places. Bring spirits comfort, share stories, etc. I'd want a book club as well, for the spirits and the living. And it would be like a little hole in the wall, a blink and you'll miss it kind of door but inside it'll be lovely.

I'd want it to attract people in trouble. Running from someone or something, you'll find yourself at my shop, with the perfect book. Maybe even get advice from someone who's been in your shoes before.

Because we buy the games, the microtransactions, the cosmetics, etc. Even just one purchase multiplied by millions is a win for publishers. Whales and content creators fuel the cycle even more. Meanwhile, currencies get deliberately convoluted: you need stars for a pull, which require sparkle farts, which you can’t buy directly or in exact amounts. Out of sparkle farts? $14.99 gets you 6000—enough for three whole pills! Don't worry, there's a pity system, so the most you'll spend is only $400. And then you're left with 60 stars, and if you just had 40 more!

You’re not forced to buy, but they make the grind brutal and a slog. If you're really unlucky, it can even make actually playing the came harder. And as long as this system makes money, it won’t stop. Games are turning into storefronts with a mini-game attached. Good games feel like rare blessings, and creativity is often found only indie studios. Big teams have talent—they’re just not allowed to use it, their companies don't care about that. Gotta make money, more money, all the time, forever, or you've failed.

~~I say "they" like I don't play a few gachas myself, but still.~~

But the call is coming from inside the house this time.
