    or people just like good games that capture their imaginations and are fun and rewarding to play.

    and what makes a game good doesn’t really change with time. anymore that a good film or book or anything.

    good shit lasts and is timeless. it speaks to people across time and cultures.

    yeah not everyone likes it, but not everything is for everyone. But there is a reason we are still reading and talking about the Illiad 2000+ years later. and people will be playing Mario 64 in 50 years, just like they play the NES games today. NES Zelda is 40 years old and still a classic.











  • You never gave me an answer dude. You just keep deflecting and personally attacking me.

    Have you done graduate study at university? If you had, you might know that there are 1000s of approaches to it, schools of it, and many of them are mutually exclusive. There is no such thing, nor ever has been. Which version of economics? Which version of history? etc. There are opposing and hostile camps of thought in every academic discipline. And there are vastly opposing camps in education and it’s a field that is highly subject to trendy bullshit and changes every few years what is ‘on trend’.







  • because somebody needs to do those jobs.

    the issue is that we should not stigmatize working-class and vocational work as ‘less than’. because in many cases, it isn’t really less than sitting on your butt in a office 40 hours a week… it’s a lot more difficult.

    but it’s not about the job… it’s about social class at the end of the day. it’s about sorting people into their appropriate social class and perpetuating the divide between the lower and upper halves of society, and giving lower half people the vague hope their kids can get into the upper half if they just are smart or hard working enough… which is rarely the case.

    egalitarianism sounds nice, but the truth is not everyone can be CEO, in fact, very few people can. the vast majority of work is on lower paying end of the spectrum.

    you can have it the other way too… you can have the USA system where people have worthless Masters degrees and work in food service? is that ‘better’? when those folks probably should have been sorted into something more vocational earlier in their lives that would have given them less debt, wasted less time, and made them wealthier in the end. but at least in USA ‘vocational’ work is considered for stupid and dumb people and is very stigmatized esp among the white-collar professional elites.

    Yep. I know plenty of pope who work menial jobs and whine all day and drink a lot… they are all from wealthy families and are just waiting for their folks to die and/or their trust to mature. they know they don’t have to do jack shit in life and they tend to look down on people who work hard… as losers.

    It’s pure entitlement. And if you call them out on it, they go straight to the sob story about how mommy and daddy are mean or something.
