There was a study, years ago, where they found that socio/psychopaths made up like 30% of all C-Suite employees. In the larger population, they make up less than 2%, and that’s including all partial diagnoses. Add onto that the fact that most upper-level staff at any major firm these days are dipshit Business Idiots who know fuck all about jack shit, and you get the modern irrational economy.

Just read the sections on Sociopaths and Psychopaths. They describe your average marketing department.

Upon investigation, the source of this image is an AI slop account smh.

Fascist Propaganda plays super hard on the fears and nagging doubts that come with being an immigrant. The fears of deportation, imprisonment, or worse, not fitting in. The fear that everything is for nothing because someone is always poised to steal it out from under you. The fear that you are simply too weak to make it in the world, that there are things you don’t understand and never will.

It’s truly insidious.

ITT: Really depressing stories of society’s decline into ChristoFascist mania and delusion.

It’s all the middle managers and Business Idiots who think they’re so goddamn smart and effective at their jobs, wasting everyone’s time because they’re actually incompetent.

The absolutely critical difference between the work you, your buddies, and basically everyone else wants to do, versus corporate “”“work”“”, is that you want to do it because it’d make you happier and your community healthier, as opposed to making a line go up for some shareholders who honestly wouldn’t care if you died tomorrow so long as it made the line go up a little further. Neoliberal Capitalism is Hell, man.

I love the 1980’s cassette-futurism aesthetic they got going on, and the very impressive fluid dynamics/light processing tech. Considering this game has been in the works for 12+ years, I bet it’ll be an exceptional horror game!

Absolutely correct. Modern Paper Mario is more about the spectacle of the story, rather than the way it’s mechanically explored. They peaked with TTYD, had a weird one with Super, and the rest have been “use this gimmick in VERY SPECIFIC WAYS to explore OUR story how WE want you to.”

This isn’t to say modern Paper Mario games are bad, just that it’s blatantly obvious they threw out mechanical complexity and deeper narrative tones in favor of “watch this big thing explode, ooh pretty colors :DDD!!!” Sticker Star is definitely the worst of them though.

I really hope we get another Paper Mario game that FEELS like a true Paper Mario RPG. TTYD Remastered is incredible, and I think that by making it, Nintendo acknowledged that fans just… really don’t care for modern Paper Mario as it is.

Shit you right, that’s volume.

Bruh wtf. It would’ve cost you $0.00 to not be a weird dork with his mind in the gutter in this comment section. Be better next time.

Motherfucker I don’t give a fuck whether you’re a professional artist or a literal child drawing the most dogshit scribbles imaginable, I STILL prefer that over the most refined AI Slop that could possibly be generated. Its not ABOUT the technical skill on display, it’s about the sheer fact that YOU, a REAL, PHYSICAL PERSON, picked up the tools and decided to TRY. That alone is what’s worthy of commendation, not the fact that AI can shit out generically hot anime waifus in .0032 seconds.

Or you could pick up a pencil and put it to paper, actually expressing what’s in your soul through your own efforts. I know which one I’d prefer to look at.

Also, saying AI “Democratizes art” ignores several million years of people making art with whatever was on hand, whether that be 3D modeling software, or charcoal on a cave wall. Art has always been Democratic and Free; AI, notably, isn’t.

Heat death of the universe, got it.

False, that’s parking Orthogonally. Much more difficult.
