Fucking spoiled asshats with an entitlement complex. Yeah, it's great that some games are that cheap on Steam or gog.com or elsewhere, but the assumption that no game should cost more than that is fucking offensive.

If only more people felt like you. Then this industry would not be saturated like this.

On mobile paid games are a thing of the past. On PC the Steam is doing the same by driving prices down to $0.99. It's becoming increasingly harder taking risks and innovating anymore.

guys

only say things that you personally absolutely believe

don't try to approach things from different angles to show that my position may have flaws cause that's trolling and i'm very invested in everything i say so don't hurt my feelings okay

But there is a crisis of unscientific methods in economics; I suppose one might argue that there aren't a lot of experts in economics as a science. It is treated more as an art, with people lining themselves up into competing "schools of thought" named after their founders.

heh

a crisis of unscientific methods

i wonder what he thinks extra SCIENCE! will bring that will magically fix capitalism's inevitable contradictions

i think i know

it will show that people are truly too stupid to be allowed to vote and the capitalists technocrats should run everything for everyone's own good

we can set up a system of a party with only techocrats that you have to fulfil some criteria to be a member of and that this is the only party that is allowed to exist

then after twenty-thirty years when this collapses we can try something else that's also been done in the past

i used to laugh at economics since it seems like something any idiot can do at first glance

but i've gotten a lot more respect after seeing how every idiot has actually tried it

and none of it quite worked right





sometimes i think history class needs to take some pages out of literature class


a lot of history class was like naming facts and stuff


but it should have spent more time exploring the greater themes i think now

no idea how much i laughed at that and then was just sad some more

also yeah history classes seem to have a lot of difficulty not just turning into reverse jeopardy where knowing random shit about disparate things is the point and not y'know, noticing patterns and themes and learning from history

hell even that year long history of labor relations in the us class i had in middle school somehow didn't connect the pattern of people in power abusing those who aren't with anything that came before or after the industrial revolution

Science does not define purpose. You can say "the concept of morality was gifted to us by God evolution to be more fit"...

But, is it right because God evolution gave it to us, or is it right because it's right? If it is the former, you should know as well as anyone that evolution doesn't have a goal beyond survival, and there's no reason why things ought to be that way. If it is the latter, let's cut out that useless God evolution term and get right down to business.



i need some more revisions but if wong doesn't summarily ban you you're doing something wrong

In an age where Man has never been so separated from Nature, where our control over Nature has never been so strong, where everything we do has ultimately, as a goal, to free us from Nature's influence ;
An age where Man has never been so free to forge its own destiny, where Man constantly improve itself over the limits Nature imposed to us

why would you want to justify your morale on "Natural" grounds ?

I swear to god if I get banned from SDN because I associate with you trolling fuckers…

I will have a lot of free time.

the reason they always fail is because they can't even accurately explain such basic things as where prices and profits come from

or rather, they don't want to, as that would amount to defending a system of oppression and slavery where resources must be kept artificially scarce and unavailable but through exchange

i don't see why they should deserve more respect than any I'M A JUGGALO WOOP WOOP phrenologist

German ebonics anyone?

that comments section is something special

TEO seems like a bit of a sausage fest in discussing contraceptives

the best contraceptive in the world is being a fat nerd amirite?

Sadly not true.

the best contraceptive in the world is suicide

not actually being serious, just felt like having a roast beef moment there


though it does prompt me to notice that we're missing the suicide-

so the trailer for the new ghost recon game is a massive lol

But D13 is also quite stubbornly arguing that you need something called "free will" in order to have morality.

Is that guy claiming it's possible to have morality when all of your thoughts and actions have been predetermined?
