Unfortunately I think it also opened up alot of fascists' eyes in how easy it is to gain power in this modern day and age

While I agree with this sentiment.

I'm hoping there's an actual change with a plan, not just 100 Luigi's for every 1 CEO

It's really scary that this isn't any sort of meme now. This is the literal image that these psychos have when looking at POC

You know, this makes me think of Luigi and how his sentencing will go. I assume: he will be sentenced to public execution, and be used as a martyr for the rich to send a message for us peasants,"this is what happens when you want to play hero"

I don't think it's that no one is taking him seriously, it's that the wrong people ARE taking him seriously

Literally 1984

One of the things that stuck out to me while reading in school was the sexual frustration part

Wait, your telling me this was on purpose? I just thought the cyberjunk was so shit, someone visiting the building just HAPPENED to blow up

I dunno. As the saying goes,"You are what you eat." And our elected "leader" advocates the leading producer of junk food.

Maybe if the American populace had actual nutrients in their bodies instead of butter and lard, we'd be able to critically think for once

All this insecurity about tariffs has me hoping he have a Boston Tea Party situation. If I recall the story correctly, they threw the expensive British Tea overboard to protest the tax.

Similarly, I also recall a sugar tax, and either an ink or paper one: basically, I hope I can see something similar to see there's still a small piece of American values from our ancestors (not the twisted Conservative heaven MAGA wants, but on the American dream of freedom, liberty, and justice for ALL.)

No Taxation Without Representation!

I'd like to imagine this but I'm too disappointed. I think it's pretty naive to hope anyone is looking out for us. Everyone is out for themselves, so make sure you can talk without the picture watching.

 

For how often I see articles talking about the dangers of tech, I'm surprised at the lack of mention for watch_dogs. Sure, its just a silly little Ubisoft game series, but this game series predicted so much of today's world. The 2nd game is basically propoganda against corporations hoarding so much data, exploring how each of them exploit the world they inhabit. If you haven't played the game, I highly recommend checking it out just for the intro alone. It might not be real world events or actual statistics, but it sure broke down some of the major problems in the industry into something my 13 year old brain could comprehend when I first played the game.

 

So I've recently started to replay Watch_Dogs (digital version) on PS5 and oddly enough, it's the only game that won't suspend in rest mode. The console itself has to tell me it won't keep the game open and it'll close in 30 seconds. I've played both PS4/5 and use both digital and physical copies between my library. Anyone have an explanation?
