I think that’s just IT jobs in general. I noped out after 15 years, no fucking clue what I’ll do but I can tell you it’ll be anything but IT

Right, I must be “very young” if I don’t think that hurling abuse at others is OK.

Yeah, pretty much figured you were one of the people who thought his behavior wasn’t only acceptable but preferable. In other words, an asshole.

Are we pretending that his various and ubiquitous abusive rants didn’t happen, or that they weren’t him acting like an asshole?

He was never likeable. He acted like a huge asshole, which naturally made other assholes look at him and go “see if he can do that so can I”

Neither of them is exactly what I’d call easily likeable

Well, the true scale of the internal migration is hard to gauge because Russia is Russia, but in classic fashion there’s likely been quite a bit of forced migration but could be as many as 800,000 to 1,000,000 people who have been “brought” into Crimea one way or another and a number of native Ukrainians and Tatars have been forcibly relocated.

Edit: and I found one estimate putting the number of internally displaced Crimeans in Ukraine at 20,000 – 100,000 (pg. 2), but another estimate had an upper limit of 200,000

Iran, too.

Calling Republicans Talebangelicals isn’t all that inaccurate

Loquunturne Latine in ‘Quid’?

Yesss, making the world worse for everyone, nice.

No wait, that’s the opposite of nice. That’s terrible.

That’s a good tip. I keep hearing lots of positive things about the story and the world, so it’d be fun to check it out for myself

Oh trust me, I know myself. I really haven’t had the energy to play challenging games in a while now, so games like Cloudpunk, Sable, Lightyear Frontier, The Invincible, etc etc have been right up my alley. Anything I don’t have to grind, I have enough of that in my life as it is

Souls-likes are pretty much the antithesis of what I personally enjoy in games. They seem stressful as fuck and my capacity for handling more stress is currently somewhere near zero

Joke’s on you, I was never good in the first place

Even on Lemmy, which is generally full of exactly the sort of people gAmErS hate, gaming communities tend to be… well, gaming communities. At least this post hasn’t gotten downvoted into the negatives, but it’s got 50% as many downvotes as upvotes at the time I’m writing this. Sure, maybe some of those people have legitimate issues with the article, but I very much doubt it – it’s more likely they just saw “misogyny” in the title and downvoted without reading it.

Edit: are there any less, uh, gamery gaming communities around?

It never went away in the first place. A huge chunk of gAmErS are still incredibly toxic, basically just reich-wing edgelords who hate women and minorities.

I saw someone complain about all the “woke” things in Starfield recently. He (and I’m 100% sure this was a “he”) listed things like “unattractive females” and “accents”, and goddamn if that wasn’t a perfect example of what’s wrong with so many gamers. Naturally “pronouns” were also a problem for this chud, because even the possibility of choosing “they” as a pronoun is literal gamer genocide apparently
