We aren’t the baddies, we just can’t be the goodies today, tomorrow honey.

well

hey f$#@ you buddy I haven’t lost the game through the internet in awhile, that was a low swipe

It is an ad for The Dice Tower, they just aren’t paying me to do it lol.

I genuinely love The Dice Tower, Tom Vassel seems like a nut, and in particular I find Zee absolutely hilarious.

shrugs

I am not saying I agree with everything they do, or endorse them or their opinions without question, what I am saying is just fuck yeah, The Dice Tower is great I have watched a ton of their videos over the years on different board games and I am not afraid to fly that freak flag high and proud I guess?

Board games or video games?

yeah, I love Tom Vassel, the weird dude is a massive figure in modern board gaming and this video is absolutely perfect for this thread, so when I saw it yes… I watched it all the way through and then immediately posted it lol

Seriously, the Dice Tower is probably the most thorough and respected voice in board gaming, most board game fans have different tastes and feelings on games than Tom does, but everyone who is anyone in board gaming pays attention to what Tom Vassel says because he is a giant in the scene and honestly seems to have overall been a really good influence on the industry, at least in the US.

Sometimes I randomly watch this old video Tom Vassel made about why he hates Monopoly so I can rage with him and feel better about the universe.

Tom Vassel Reviews Monopoly And It’s Expansions Like The Way A Grizzly Bear Eats A Salmon

Monopoly, stripped of it’s context as a political statement, is a very mean and cruel work of art.

Well it is too late for that, aging neo-liberals made sure of that :)

Me too, but even if he wasn’t likable, he is good at rhetorically debating people on points of leftism in a way that I think is very productive for a lot of men to at least hear out.

I hope.

sigh

Remember when the FBI stopped Jan 6th before it even happened?

This is like when you are watching a space rocket launch and one of the stages is beginning to start the process of seperating, except it is a social network revealing it’s true enshittified end form piece by piece.

Wait what if I ask me then

Well, that would make sense that Germany would need laws like this because otherwise Germans would never learn how to take a joke otherwise (in otherwords it is legal in Germany to climb out of the pre-existing context to get the joke, but you will still be held legally liable for climbing out of the context and endangering yourself).

Too bad I live in the US where prisons are not punishment but training to live the rest of your life in the underclass : )

Hey it is me techbro, maybe we should try making the US warfighting machine more efficient by making soldiers pay for their own healthcare so they value their life more!

Sorry but we have to move fast and break things, and if we happen to decide you are a thing that is your fault for being so hard for us to extend empathy to, we can’t be expected to evolve.

Hasan Piker basically

The earth is already recovering from our extinction, before we have even gone extinct, for we have condemned ourselves to be an event done unto a community rather a member of said community.

Just look around at the way nature is evolving, as immense as the extinction event we are creating is, the ferocity and impulse with which the natural world is responding is stunning and we are fools to think we are winning.

We have already lost and we are at the funeral for our species, let us enjoy it respectfully and joyously for the remaining time we have.

Just because we won’t continue doesn’t mean our love won’t.

but I make left

powerslides around the corner in a gas guzzling stupid american muscle car that can barely turn to save its life because the engine is too big and heavy

I step out of the car and yell “NONE OF THIS SHIT MATTERS COMPARED TO CLIMATE CHANGE YOU IDIOTS”

I then point to my shitty car and say “I am an environmentalist and I am DRIVING THAT to make a point that at this point me driving THAT piece of shit is irrelevant because we are SO FUCKED right now by Climate Change!”

I get back into my stupid af muscle car and slam the transmission into the raw torque of the engine as clumsily as possible while I chant out the window

CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE

My license plate says “E8MYA55HNRYKSSNGR” which is way too long but whatever I am british or something…

I mean seriously, yes Nuclear Weapons are scary but do you know how scientists quantify the amount of excess heat energy in the ocean right now in units that can be compared a la the way astronomers must rectify incomprehensible regimes of force into things that can be compared?

They do it in hiroshima bombs worth of heat energy, in the thousands of hiroshima bombs worth of heat energy.

I would but the people in the panopticon tower might be watching right now.
