@woozle if you try to offer a resolution or idea or anything there's good odds you'll be subposted about and it'll not go anywhere, so meh

@Lanthus that's pretty much exactly what it is, especially if it's corporate money involved

just when you start feeling about better about people, this shit happens. :/

honestly i probably do not have what it takes to be part of any real change. i'm just as prone to flipping my shit, you just haven't given me a direct reason to yet

@xj9 works so long as the majority of votes aren't swayed by emotional manipulation or coercion by some means outside of the cooperative

@ninjawedding @twitter @bea how does that even work

this kind of thing is why i am very skeptical of and keep my distance from the indie game dev scene. have a community that tight-knit, that everyone wants to be part of, and that actually gets money in? you just know at some point some sociopaths are going to get in and work that sucker to death.

in fact i'm by default mistrustful of these things. it's outside the norm that i even sit here at all and talk to y'all

@twitter @ninjawedding @bea start on a freezepeach instance and do something awful enough to even piss them off, and you'll be pretty much there.

@Trev It's Okay When We Do It (reprise)

@bea @TrollDecker @Gargron @CobaltVelvet i originally wrote that, but tbqh it takes skill, finances and the will that a lot of people don't have to run one of these things

@Trev actually not too bad an idea. trading pokemon would be a thing you could readily do too

@TrollDecker @Gargron @CobaltVelvet ah. everywhere is a boiling pot of pettiness and awful, but you can't get banned from the entire fediverse.

@Gargron @CobaltVelvet how is this time in particular worse than any other for drama? i only saw this second-hand

capitalism doesn't provide everything we have; people do, nonhuman animals do, the earth does. and those things don't disappear when a new ideology takes hold.

@tcql stones are money in a way eerily reminiscent of money today https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones

@xj9 it should not be this way, that is crazy

meanwhile in south texas, i'm actually still running my a/c and the temperature went from oppressively hot to just hot
