I love it here.
Well I'd hate to be caught in a crunch without a secondary backup comment.
By "near-miss prediction" I assume you mean that it'll happen way sooner that 2505.
I found the unresolved plot insanely unsatisfying.
It was an interesting game for sure, good game play, art was excellent, story was kinda.. all over the place. I really wanted to have some of the mysteries explained and wrapped up because that was the most compelling part and when they weren't I was quite unhappy.
Yes, yes fucking exactly, how is it not an automatic gold mine!? This vexes me as well.
The correct answer.
I thought you wanted to have a conversation?
What would you consider to be your left leaning bias?
I'm not going to go well into the details because it's getting off the point but as a few examples:
"A Republican candidate running for a seat in Oklahoma's state House once said it is 'totally just' to kill gay people in comments that have resurfaced amid his campaign."
"The Trump-endorsed Republican candidate in South Carolina's4th Congressional District called for the arrest and execution of those who advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and the protection of trans children."
former Republican state representative Robert Foster: "I think they need to be lined up against [a] wall before a firing squad to be sent to an early judgment."
There are plenty more out there like this, and an absolute avalanche of them couched in the standard political double speak and dog whistles that we are all used to.
Now I'm sure you PERSONALLY did not vote for any of these people directly, but these are the representatives of the GOP, this is what I mean by you being on the ship with them. You may not be the person steering the ship, or loading the guns, or pulling the trigger, but you are on the ship advocating for violence and murder, passing laws that are leading to death and suffer and pushing to make more of them. You are saying that because you are swabbing the deck and cooking the meals you don't deserve to be lumped in with nazis who are running the ship.
Get off the ship.
The people you are supporting and voting for have openly called for violence and death to be visited upon myself and my family simply because of who we are andwho we love.
The GOP is a ship, and you are voluntarily on that, working to help that ship, the people steering that ship, setting it's direction, aiming it's guns, they are literally fascists, bigots, and often literal nazis. You work on that ship, do you not see why you are seen as one of them irregardless of weather or not you directly believe such hateful things?
Get off that ship, you can still be a "conservative" but you have to stop supporting those people or you are one of them.
Can I ask why you feel that way?
Gold.
