  • Music was always the one for me. I couldn’t listen to that music or this music because “That’s gay bro”. It didn’t matter that I listened to a large variety, it was instilled in me that some music is okay, other stuff is not.

    One of my earliest memories was being into Britney Spears. I was young, 10 or so. Dad was never home and I learned to like my own music on my own time without him, and I liked her music. My memory is that I was listening to it in the car, my CD of hers, and then I remember mom and dad arguing, and I don’t remember ever seeing that CD again. My mom confirmed when I was an adult that dad threw it out because he didn’t want me to listen to her. Did he share any of his music with me as an alternative? No of course not, I just couldn’t listen to that.

    Now as an adult I’ve fully embraced it. I love me Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, and other “manly” bands (Yes I know, I chuckle too at Queen), but I’m also an avid Swifty (I even mod [email protected] ) because sometimes you just want a song that feels a bit happier, and I even took my wife to the Eras tour. I love Olivia Rodrigo because damn if we don’t all have some teenage angst sometimes, and I’ve gone back a bit to Britney too - but not as much.

    What a shame that people think that art should be subject to what they think the world is like. There is room to like many different things. Enjoying one thing doesn’t mean you dislike another thing. People can like many different things. I can enjoy A24 films while also laughing at Wil Farrell movies. None of that means that I’m this or that - humans are complex and like what we like. Thanks for reading this far :)


  • The game only officially released last year, everything before was Early Access, so yes it did release with the game.

    I don’t think you’re wrong for disliking it, but you’re oddly hostile to it. Just say it’s not for you. Everyone else in this thread is mostly just saying how they disliked game A or game B. You don’t have to like every game. You don’t need to understand why others don’t enjoy it, you just don’t, and that’s okay.

    I personally like it’s pacing, how it adds functionality, and how it takes over over time. I personally dislike Factorio - I find it tedious and repetitive. Tried it a few times, just can’t get into it. But hey, that’s okay, and so is not liking Satisfactory. We don’t need to shit on each other because we have different opinions.














    • Why should I return my cart? Someone else will come get it.
    • Why should I drive a smaller more fuel efficient vehicle? Others pollute more than me

    There are a thousand decisions like this.

    You have to decide where your ethics are. You’re right, they’ll keep making them. It doesn’t matter what others do, it’s what you choose to do that defines you. Are you okay with taking a single use plastic bag and letting it sit in the landfill for thousands of years (or in the ocean) so you can have the convenience of not carrying a fabric bag in? Are you okay with a minimum wage worker collecting your cart so you wouldn’t have to take the 20 seconds to push it into a corral?

    These are questions you can’t ask the internet, it’s your personal morals. I know where my morals are. Everyone else can be who they are, but I am the only one who has to live with my decisions.
