I see OP in their comment history uses "tyres" so they're probably not from the US.

C-Walking has been a prominent fad in the US, more so in the early 2000s than recently, but most people are familiar with it.

I don't understand the context of this post, but there's not much here of note if you grew up in the US and made it past late teenager.

At this point, Snoop is inevitable.

I don't know how to effectively communicate that what you're saying is part of the problem.

This is one weird way to advertise a swinger's party.

Even in these comments, people don't get it, lol.

That's what I'm trying to say. I don't think such a game is feasible.

Also, in the context of this threat, saying "ooo Tetris isn't political!" is being pedantic, that's not what the person meant when they asked for an example of a non political game.

I'm not saying I know anything about this Dragon Age, I haven't played it.

I think it's a fair point though, to imagine an a-political narrative game, because I think most if not all RPG games I can think of have some kind of political content.

Now make it so you have to beat e1m1 for the alarm to turn off.

It's bullshit all the way down.

Lol uh I mean I don't think the author* is giving the generally normal people just working their job enough credit. In my anecdotal experience, the growth mindset stuff is just an excuse to say certain things at meetings, or make certain decisions, nobody is extremely bought in or anything.

In fact, I knew some folks that left Microsoft because of the growth mindset changes for more "old school" places like Boeing.

Generally speaking I think all these companies have some kind of cultish exterior, I can say this about Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook for sure. If you're ever let inside the walls though, it's mostly regular people trying to live their lives.

Quest 64? Oh yeah, absolutely.

Star fox 64? I can play the shit out of that right now.

Back when they still had video rental stores that carried games, and you had to carefully select what game you were stuck with for the weekend lol.

 

It's not a total surprise to constantly see the glorification of conservatives and Trump in UFC events, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one with a bad taste in my mouth. I enjoy MMA, have participated and been a fan for a while, and interestingly enough it's one of the spaces where I think politics make everything worse, especially as polarized as people are these days.
