Funnily enough, the Covid stuff wasn't even that bad for me looking back on it- I was lucky and no one I knew was hospitalised or died. It's the financial collapse, war and fascism in Europe that's doing a real number on my psyche. I can't social distance myself from my electricity bill, fascist parties winning elections all over, or a Russian cruise missile or whatever fresh hell is coming next

I don't really want to see or hear the news anymore, they're starting to legimitately affect my mental wellbeing. How do I filter certain communities out of my Hexbear browsing experience? Only funny shitposts, memes and Star Trek discussions for me, thank you

There's a whole slew of jiggle physics configs to choose from :very-smart:

Not sure any of them qualify as particularly true to life, however

most mods for those games are about making the women rail thin with beach ball breasts and lordosis with a collection of 150 gimp suits and well over 500 different sets of lingerie

The bolded part is the only thing I take issue with. I will have you know those gimp suits are available for every conceivable and inconceivable body type

People here may snicker at this post, but I totally know the pain of ACCIDENTALLY giving everyone in Skyrim carefully sculpted physics simulated bazookas while simply trying to make shop signs more high res

Memes aside, looking back on it, that whole episode was kind of horrible, wasn't it?

4chan basement dwellers find a 11-year-old girl on Youtube and decide to make her a meme, trolling her and spamming her channel with weird comments until she makes the video with her memeable mustachioed dad threatening the trolls

I've never noticed anything when I've had caffeine :doomer:

all of the most knowledgeable modders

:geordi-no: People are only motivated by money

:geordi-yes: People are only motivated by being horny

Was going to comment "post it on loverslab lol" before reading

Nexus actively profits from cultivating a toxic culture in no small part with many sexist and otherwise misogynist, dodgy, fetishistic “perfectly acceptable” modification files. Obviously this perpetuates the shitty unexamined ideologies and keeps the cycle rolling.

I guess it wouldn't be that funny : :sicko-wistful:

My brother is chalking up the Ukraine conflict to Putin wanting "lebensraum"

This is what watching cable news gets you I guess

Oh wow those replies are fucking rancid

Yes, but it's not really addressed. The future just sucks now so they can make parallels to current-day politics, like Fox News or Brexit or whatever easier. But then they travel back to an alternate dystopian past in the second season anyway, so what was the point :kitty-cri-screm:

There's a thread called "Picard and Capitalist Realism" on the RedLetterMedia subreddit, I'm sure this will go over well

Edit: Kinda shows how varied the RLM fanbase is, actually- half the people are actually engaging with the OP, the other half are going "mmm actually Mark Fisher made several logical fallacies, did you know socialism has always failed?"

That's video game modders for you

So THAT'S what the infamous vagina bones were all along? :data-laughing: I legit thought it was something to do with the way the 3D models/skeletons were rigged/weight painted

The song is mixed from a Japanese anime avatar streamer's playthrough

Bus Simulator, the game being played in the video, is

Aren't the US armed forces just filled with frothingly insane right-wing maniacs, especially at higher levels? This whole stupid chud meme about the Marines being a bunch of feminized bimbos who mince into battle armed with dildos or whatever is once again entirely removed from reality
