I mean I used to have opposite views because I grew up where a lot of that stuff is normalized and I didn’t question it until it was challenged, so I can understand being misinformed, hell I’m still misinformed sometimes. But if they’re not open to having their mind changed, and just want to hurt people, I have very little empathy for that.
I mean I took it as what /I’d/ wear, because I do like wearing thigh high socks.
Sadly a lot of popular indie games, I really like a game where I can feel like I’m living another life in it, get to be someone else for a while, and that just isn’t a thing in most indie games because of the limited scope that comes with a small development team. There’s games like MotorTown or Stardew Valley, that have what I’m looking for, but those are unfortunately rare so I often have to turn to AAA games and damn it’s hard finding a good one of those.
It’s my favorite game, but that’s because it does a very good job of immersing me in the world, characters, and story. I can see how if you just want to get to the next bit of gameplay it would be annoying, but I really like to soak up a game and feel like I’m living another life in it, so it’s perfect for me.
I normally watch some motorsports and things haven’t been too bad. I’ve loved watching F1 but I don’t want to sign up for AppleTV just to watch next year. I haven’t decided if I’m going to bother watching on pirate sites or just remove it from the list of motorsports I follow.
I do watch the occasional ball sports game with my dad, or a hockey game with my wife if she wants to, and oh my god the ads ads ads. They’re constant and it’s unbearable. Especially all the gambling ads, it makes me have a pit in my stomach thinking about all the money they’re taking from people by preying on addicts.
