I will say I can feel the hype train with Manor Lords, which I usually am not a part of. I like that kind of game and already had furthest frontier so I picked it up.

I was pretty… shocked with how much was unfinished and how little soul and love the game felt like it had.

I figured I got duped and someone paid every youtuber on a slow week to hype it up since they missed some publisher deadline or whatever

We’re in the age of corporate corruption and they’re public – Probably would get sued by investors for not ruthlessly hamstringing all stakeholders in the space. Fuck this place.

Itt: people who missed the joke

It was even more boring than that. The amount of food you need vs is available plus roads mean your pretty limited in what you can even try to do until engines.

I can taste how much butter you put in the dough

Stage right

Oh great them

5 hours of sleep is not good long term

That is a sweet stick though

Yeah – I agree but that all feels better explained by the 300 year empire rule or decadence of empire stuff than what are humans made for questions, but I see the connection.

It was talking about what we were made to do. We’ve been around for 200k years and had agriculture for 10k years so that’s what I was going on.

Yeah we’re supposed to never leave our village for our 40 year lifespan, fear this that go against our myths and tradition and violently castigate those we deem different enough for us.

Or maybe civilization itself was too much and we should live in even smaller groups with our numbers limited by no agriculture.

Why do we hate Netflix and abundant food?

Get these mother fucking money lenders out my mother fucking temple.

OK well you’re clearly understanding me and choosing to faux miss the point anyway then.

OK… but it literally is ‘games’ that you play for money. The law governing gambling is referred to as Gaming Law - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_law

All gambling games also meet the definition for ‘games’, which is likely why they also use that term.

Game: a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.

Some people enjoy the extra risk/reward added to games and can do it responsibly.

Go witchhunt all the gambling adverts to kids but let me play blackjack sometimes.

for fun? It’s just gaming for money if you think about it.

Yeah but I can’t direct my hate at an individual as easy when it’s hot outside
