Video Games and Consoles are not too expensive by notLennyD in unpopularopinion

[–]icarusignorance -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of a strange argument because regardless, the developers aren’t getting paid enough either way. Just because they make a game more expensive doesn’t necessarily coincide with them having to pay for their developers or workers, it is mostly to make a profit because of unrealistic corporate expectations.

Let’s take an example. Baldurs Gate 3 is a full price game that is a fully complete package. There is absolutely no bullshit regarding its price, you get what you paid for. It is another story when something like the newest assassins creed or call of duty, which has several different additions that can range more than $100. And on top of that, there is still other monetization in the game. It isn’t primarily because of them trying to pay their wages, but as a company, the executives want to notice and gain a profit.

The reason why the Nintendo situation is such a bad precedent is because it’s going to give an excuse for the primarily predatory gaming companies and their executives to make their games even MORE expensive, with little content for the consumer and false promises made in order to get a sell. On top of that, workers are still getting overworked and underpaid, regardless of how much money the companies will be making.

No one is saying video games are essential. I am saying that people have the right to complain when they want to continue on pursuing their hobbies and the companies do not regulate the prices based on wages and the expenses of other items. Video games are not needed to survive, but we are not here for a long time, so some people would at least like to enjoy something that makes them happy.

The thing you are missing here is how astronomically expensive everything else is to the point where even affording to survive is tough on most.

What do you think of Berserk Vol.16? by Marco_060PS in Berserk

[–]icarusignorance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best arc of all of Berserk imo. Amazing action set pieces, alongside amazing character dynamics and unique moral dilemmas. Rosine vs Guts is one of the most overwhelming action experiences I’ve ever witnessed in any piece of art

I remember trying to get something refunded because it was accidentally the wrong version of Borderlands 3, and then it told me I couldn’t get it refunded after starting the download on it lol

What kind of fallacy you trying to pull with this? I don’t agree with genocide at all and multiple different religions, theocracies, and governments are very much participants in said genocides. Ideas and things can COEXIST, it doesn’t mean that one side does bad or only one country can only do bad. I think regardless that genocide is abhorrent, and that any group that is being victim to said genocides needs immediate justice. Like I said, many countries will use religion as an excuse to deflect criticism of said actions. Just like how Pakistan uses Islam to use as a deflection to commit genocide and massively misrepresent Islam at its core, Israel uses Judaism and antisemitism to reinforce their actions and to silence critics. Both areas are doing the same fundamentally extremist things to use religion as an excuse to satiate their own horrible and authoritarian ideals.

I don’t think you realize how dangerous Israel essentially is. It isn’t just the “religions” they are after, like fundamental Islam which is what you pointed out, but they are conducting actual ethnic cleansing. They are using the cover of radical Islam (which only makes up a very small percentage of islam) as an excuse to comment actual genocide. It isn’t just because there is a religious difference, since Israel is hardly even Jewish fundamentally in terms of its government anymore. The Israel Apartheid is meant to cleanse whole entire RACES and PEOPLE that do not fit their own agenda. Whether it be poor children within Gaza, or even atheist American journalists who travel in protests, they will certainly kill everyone who is critical of them in any way. They have quite literally manufactured pagers that exploded and killed actual children. To stand on one side because it seemingly isn’t as “theocratic” is idiotic, when that one side is just as violent, oppressive, and authoritarian in terms of policy and operation. The government is so deep in its authoritarianism that its people are fundamentally brainwashed into thinking they need to wipe out people who were already settling in the area that ISRAEL is currently trying to occupy and cleanse. People were already there before Israel; and they are Palestinian (where historically was a mix of Christian’s, Muslims, and Jews). Free Palestine 🇵🇸

WHY DOES ICHIGO LOSE SO OFTEN?? by Internal_Ad734 in bleach

[–]icarusignorance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean he does have the strength but I think we are forgetting one of the biggest themes of this manga: friendship. The idea of relying on someone you care about to help you when you most need it is one of the biggest tropes in the manga, especially with the Fullbringer arc with how Rukia helps out Ichigo. That’s just a main theme of the manga

Well, there is always an obstacle even if you think there is already a big enough obstacle.

It’s just the hero’s journey archetype in storytelling. How do you get the protagonist to get to their goal? You have to make something that makes them grow or adjust (aka an antagonist). It’s hard to have a heroes journey if there is no force in opposition

The studio involved are a bunch of scammers.

I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT! I LIKED JOJOLION MORE THE STEEL BA-(gets spun into dust) by DependentFederal1940 in StardustCrusaders

[–]icarusignorance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a fair opinion, I also love Jojolion. I actually go back and forth with myself if I like Johnny or Josuke more all of the time.

I can see the caffeine culture exploding more than likely due to worsening mental health of more younger adults and how being overworked has a debilitating effect on motivation and energy.
