I've been fortunate enough to have seen my material conditions improve as I've entered my mid-thirties which has let me start a family and buy a home. I've also watched my incredibly talented and hard working friends/acquaintances/neighbours be ground into dust under the cruel rule of capitalism. I got lucky, they didn't, this has radicalized me far more than any naive idealism ever could.

Criticizing Hexbear with an ableist comment is chefs-kiss

Monkey Island 1 & 2 were my gateway drug but Grim Fandango solidified it for me. The blend of puzzles and narrative just hooked me as an 11 year old. Now things like Obra Dinn, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds have taken it to a whole new level.

I agree that it’s a bit of a stretch. What I think they’re getting at is that individualism as it’s pushed by imperialist media creates the toxic environment that fosters the cultural traits that you’re referring to.

I signed up for Netflix years ago. When they decided to make it cost more to let my parents share the sub I pulled the plug.

Criticizing this article isn’t the same as supporting Russia lol.
