Hah! Good luck finding one

And good luck voting with your dollars

This is the comment I responded to initially: https://midwest.social/post/23827090/15643582

Capcom regularly puts out certified bangers. I’ll keep buying their games for as long as those games are high quality experiences are worth the money. They can learn about microtransactions by me not buying those lol.

I was agreeing with someone else, and was sarcastically called a “good little consumer.” Which fine, but I’m going to respond. So no, the comment I initially responded to was not informing people not to buy, the next I responded to was a sarcastic remark, and the next was, I believe flawed, justification for why its objectively wrong to buy a game? Or buy it on day one, or something.

Is the objective to silence me? To make me follow along with a mainstream opinion that I don’t agree with? I just want to play the new MH and not be made to feel bad about it.

Maybe I’m not as up to date on all the nuances of this argument, but how do you think I feel when I spend significant time and energy learning and educating about political theory and practice, just to have people disagree with me from a point of ignorance?

Maybe its just something you all are gonna have to learn to deal with, having people who share your interests but not your opinions disagree with you.

That’s great for them, but what about my chuckles, what about my guffaws, what about my happiness??

Ever since it was taken off the air, I have been putting $30 in pennies up my ass every day, and then spending them. There are so many of my ass pennies in circulation, that surely the executives at comedy central and the creators of battlebots as well as anyone associated with this atrocity and their children, and their children’s children have, by now, handled my ass pennies

I don’t believe in voting with your wallet, I believe in organizing. Individuals can never stand against an organization. A large group of individuals doing what they think is right but not working together can’t win against even a much smaller organized force. In fact I think that your idea is little more than propaganda to keep the masses weakened in the face of power that is intentionally organized against us.

But I don’t play monster hunter to engage in political theory, I do it because it is a highly technical game with a steep learning curve. For whatever reason, a major stress reliever for me is to perform difficult actions with my hands. That’s all I want.

We are all treat brained little piggies in our own way, it shouldn’t be controversial. I don’t play genshin impact but if you do, whatever. Like I said, I work full time, I have a life full of family and friends, and I volunteer my time and energy to make my community better. If I wanna spend $70 on one of the like 3 game series that I really like, I shouldn’t have to justify that to other gamers ffs. The problem with the gaming industry is a problem with capitalism, its called the tendency for the rate of profit to fall. Enshitification has been a proven phenomenon about for like 150 years. Voting with your dollars is pointless when it is the dollars themselves which are the problem.

Yeah I know they have a theatre in Chicago I think, which is awesome. But I don’t live there. That show was so funny

Sorry I took time out of my week raising a family, working full time, and trying to build a mass movement to fight against the worst abuses of our economic system to enjoy something sometimes and that it offends your vendetta against the oil and gas Industr… Oh sorry I meant industrial agricult… Wait it’s the gaming Industry? You’re mad about a game? Okay buddy

I’ve been a die hard MH fan for like 20-25 years or something ridiculous. I’m gonna buy and play this game, don’t really care what people think about the gaming industry

I read the whole bible as an adult.

But the discipline that took, probably shows that I was starting to think more deeply about things

Cancelled Upright Citizens Brigade for Battle Bots, I won’t ever forgive them

They can’t. Its not a matter of personal greed, its just how capitalism works, it creates immense wealth for a few on one end and mass immiseration for the masses on the other. Billionaires exist because of the system that creates them.

My son showed me this last night, its insane. Its like one video from his feed and then two videos of people getting mauled

This reminds me of how mad my dad would get at my atrocious failing grades in high school. He would say to me, “Do you want to dig ditches?” In reference to my future job prospects.

Now I’m a tech worker and somewhat of an intellectual and frankly yes, I love to dig. My brother drives a back hoe and is very happy

Right, electronic devices talk to each other all the time

“Machines were the weapons deployed by the capitalists to quell the revolt of specialized labor”

I’ve said it before, all ceos could be replaced by mascots and it would have no negative effect on the productive capabilities of our society. On the contrary things might actually improve for once in my life

You say that, but what about St. Paul who is definitely in heaven and was a pathological gooner
