You want kids to take risks while playing? OK then, make it so that the medical bills don’t bankrupt whole families.

Things like this move me to imagine a world completely devoid of ads. “But how would you discover a product you didn’t know you needed?” I don’t care. I would go without that product. That is preferable to me.

You know what else they could have done, as a compromise? Make the ad screens partially transparent, by stippling the pixels, or by having glass sections, or by turning the LCD completely transparent for part of its refresh… there are many ways to not be anti-consumer garbage meant only to jump in front of eyeballs.

You can block anyone you want.

This is the real reason for the ban.

“National security” just translates to “public opinion of the war(s)”

This comic is propaganda and misinformation.

It’s basically saying “if you try to enact gun control, we will shoot you”, make of that what you will.

Reminds me, I need to order boot stickers for some mild vandalism.

Guess what!

I appreciate you posting this here. I had not read a manifesto yet that sounded like it was legitimately his. This one seems internally consistent at least, as if it was written by a real person. Can never be sure.

In this one, it seems there’s nothing for me to dislike, which makes me believe it was written by a real person, but even more cautious about believing it. I had, until now, only heard negative (from my pov) things about him. It is unusual for something like this to leak. The media tries it’s best to keep the lid on contagious ideas. (Another reason to be incredulous)

I expect the media will try to give both sides something to dislike about him, to discourage idolatry and imitation. Feels like some 1984/Brave New World style social engineering to me.

Judging from the dearth of new ideas in the game industry, Assassin’s Creed: Veritas et Aequitas is still very probably going to happen. Seemed like the natural next step after Syndicate.
