    Right? I understand Windows is mass surveillance spyware, but holy shit the Linux proselytizing on this site is worse than any Christian mission, it’s straight up ridiculous. If anything, all the constant nagging will further entrench some users into Windows out of spite.

    Minecraft. Started playing in 2011 and have played off and on every year since then. It’s now really popular again, but I distinctly remember around 2017-18 it became suddenly uncool to play. When I would be in a VC with friends while playing it, they would ride my ass for it. The ~10 year nostalgia/hype cycle is coming full circle lol



  • Just found this comm today. I call myself a socialist, but I like political discourse and figuring out why people believe the things they do. I have so much respect for people that take the time to think about why they believe the things they do and it’s apparent to me that you do precisely that.

    It’s easy for me to agree with every point you’ve made in your post. Relying on your fellow man, justice, diversity, providence, balance, democracy, and border reform I completely agree with. I read your comment about strong institutions over strong government and once again I agree. Generally, a leftist like me should disagree with everything conservatism stands for. So then that begs the question: what makes you call yourself a conservative? If I didn’t know the comm I was in, I’d assume you were a fellow leftist from the opinions in your post alone.

    I call myself a socialist because I don’t believe private ownership is productive for society. By private ownership in this context, I don’t mean a man owning his house, I mean a multinational corporation buying up entire neighborhoods. I also think workplace decisions should be made in a democratic fashion. Employees should choose the person to lead them instead of having a boss in place by management that can lord over their employees like a king. Those opinions would make me a socialist.

    I guess what I’m asking is what specific opinions do you have that would overall make you lean toward a conservative platform as opposed to a leftist platform? I know it’s not necessarily a binary decision, but you know what I mean.


  • I’m a pretty conservative game purchaser. I’ve never paid over $40 for a game (including games on sale) because there are so, so many amazing indie games on Steam that charge so little for many hours of fun.

    When I see a AAA game come out, I know it’s going to be profit-driven, uninspired, and rushed because it exists solely for the purpose of making money for a large corp. For that reason (among others), I avoid them altogether because I know my dollar goes way further going toward an independent developer who makes games for passion (and only sometimes for money). The passion always shines through in their work, unlike passionless AAA games.
