Nope. They just hear back about number of views and how it influences the shoppers and brags about how it works.

I honestly think it’s mostly the idea of advertising that keeps it running as an industry.

Like Facebook juicing their video viewership and recent news about Google using off screen ads in their views and impressions numbers.

This is phenomenal, best shit I’ve seen all day and now I need a special of just Carl getting transported through all the cartoon network shows.

“I ain’t saying there’s nothing wrong with that. I am down with the Lesbians!”

But uhhh, you keep saying some shit about not being women but hippy dippy light, I am pretty sure that big one is just two midgets stacked on top of each other and the little guy over here keeps saying he is his own mother or some shit."

Same thing I was gonna add…
It made me happy for a second to think we all agree and then kinda depressed that we all agree that Israel keeps attacking the volunteers just trying to help victims of their war.

Hey!
We don’t want to set some kind of precedent where politicians can be responsible for things they do now do we?

Fair enough. I grew up in an area with a heavy African, Italian, Irish and Polish immigrant population. So I literally had front row seats to that contention between the words that I couldn’t understand how they didn’t see the commonality in the group that set these conditions against them.

But words/language is such a complicated tool and I may not always be speaking to a global generalized audience.

Thanks and I’m sorry I snapped.
Yeah language is confusing and uses itself as only a tool to convey some thought that only the speaker can truly know the intent of but yet we all can share.

Meanwhile I just realized I was being silly with words in another thread were I only used words ending in -ing to prove its all nonsensical, so your providing extra context does nothing to detract.

Again, sorry.

I find there too often aggressive pedantry over the term “slave”, “indentured servant”, “serf”, and so on, that has exhausted me in those concepts. Especially since it’s often used to either excuse mistreatment or compete for who had it worse when they are all often in reality completely similar experiences.

So yeah. I was a bit snappy. It is being pedantic though (which Lemmy/Reddit communities thrive on so yeah I don’t know what I was expecting) especially when the original use of Robot as a modern term is literally for a passive human-esque slave force made by science.
But I agreee it does add to the conversation to include the original use.

To bad for you, it’s all just grammatical nonsense!

This exceeding trifling witling, considering ranting criticizing concerning adopting fitting wording being exhibiting transcending learning, was displaying, notwithstanding ridiculing, surpassing boasting swelling reasoning, respecting correcting erring writing, and touching detecting deceiving arguing during debating.

Oh yeah those serfs giving up 6 months of labor for free to the manor Lord was completely different. Thank you hyper specific pedantry.

Yes, it’s different. No, it’s not different.

Robot originally meaning “slave (free) labor”

They really do want them, humans are just still better at generalized tasks and finding new work for themselves but gosh darn are they gonna make us compete with to get as close to the first use of the word Robot and be unemotional perfect workers with no concept of self preservation until it can’t be taken anymore.

Oh verlet seing is a super indie darling but it’s got a strong vaporware synth vibe so I was wondering if it felt similar. But that’s still a glowibg review.

Yeah never heard of it and seems like it fit the point of the post so I had to upvote it.

I would imagine that’s exactly the point.

So I have seen this came come across my radar several times and knowing that I am not actually a huge fan of this type of game but really enjoyed Verlet Swing do you think you would still recommend this game on fun and vibes alone?

Ahhh back when Nicalis ruled the world of indie games

Golf Club Nostalgia(917 Reviews)

This is a game that isn’t here for the game play. I think if you are paying at all attention to the boring dystopia, or climate collapse communities then this will hit in a way that is hard to define.

Its a golf game. Simple, could be played on a phone really, but you have to have the sound on for this one.
You are a member of the elite refugees who have fled to Mars and only return back to Earth to use the husk of a planet for a round of golf. And your companion is a lone radio broadcast from Mars of what they have left, which is stories and the rare music that was saved.

The combination of overwhelmingly good world building and consistent vibe even down to the level names and journal entries hits like a train and made me cry at least a couple times.
It made me feel nostalgiac for a world that has not yet come to pass and is a great on sale pick.

I know you said less than 1,000 reviews but this is at 1,500 so I think it just squeaks by.

This game for lack of a better description, adorable and over too soon.

Like a mashup of pikmim, Spyro 2, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater. It’s got lots of fun platforming and new puzzle mechanics in an ever adding open world that is a true joy to traverse and cute silly little side plots that make for rather grand set pieces when it all comes together. I got 100% in 12 hours but also collect-a-thons are my jam and I was plowing through the game with grin on my face for everything but the platinum time trials.

Yeah I guess? Is that your only skillset though cause I do tech work, but I also do a lot cheap large batch cooking, grow my own produce and can provide immediate first aid and medical care, all of which, I think, makes me pretty useful.

Plus a minor hobby in botany specifically poisonous plants makes me somewhat useful for what not to eat.

You are more than just your work.

It’s fun. Way too hard sometimes but I think that might have been the point.

Down voting it but it’s a good recommendation for those that like puzzle platformers like Super meat boy or the best parts of hollow knight.

Same but if you point out the personal risk to health to people they are usually more likely to respond, unfortunately.

And hey likely the same crowd that would be reckless with solvents.
