  • “Thank God you’re back, Doctor. ER received a patient with blunt chest trauma, he’s unresponsive and vitals are unstable. The imaging shows organ damage, possibly lung hemorrhage. They’re being prepped for emergency surgery now, the anesthesiologist will brief you in Room E109.”

  • Exactly. I have been gaming for decades, yet I never played any of these. Only heard of WOW and Apex Legends out of all the names, no idea what the rest are.

    It is possible to spend your money and time on games that provide the entertainment you’re looking for, but not exploit you.

  • I will spend part or my Monday setting up 2 meetings to follow up people who didn’t answer the message I sent them last week. I need a simple data from one, and a 2 minute task from the other.

    This is a company I joined 3 years ago, and was baffled in the first weeks how nobody answers their emails, not even IT. So I started sending MS Teams messages like others, and that worked well so far, but now they also seem to have lost efficiency.

    Work would be easier if everybody just respected others enough to answer their messages. We don’t need to be best friends, just pls everybody do your job…

    Edit: even better, if I didn’t have to chase people for simple data and giving acces rights to a bunch of non-confidential shit that is gatekeeped like trade secrets

  • They targeted gamers.

    Gamers.

    We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

    We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

    We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

    Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

    Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

    These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

    Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

  • Impossible.

    The last group of the elite could be bracing against the steel door in their Hawaii superbunker while survivors of the climate apocalypse are breaching it open, and they still wouldn’t realize their wrongdoings.

    They would scream, beg, berate, and lie to try to control and trick us, but we’d never get an honest emotion out of them.
