If you're taking inflation into account, I'm pretty sure most old games were the same price or more expensive than games are today. I remember some SNES games being in the $80-90(CAD) range. Fortunately, renting games was a thing back then.

Work from home. Accounting. I no longer have to deal with office culture or transit. I can blast music, watch TV, listen to podcasts. So long as I get the work done, I could be covered in olive oil and jerking off to clown porn for all my boss cares.

At this point I think reddit is running the bot farms themselves. They need the site to appear active. The past couple weeks there has been a flood of obvious bots that should've been banned by now, but all that happens is that their posts get deleted after they've already gotten their fill of karma.

You made the mistake of mentioning this stuff without including a paragraph about how these things are ruining society as a whole and that anyone who disagrees is a corporate bootlicker getting spitroasted by EA and Ubisoft while Activision is jerking off in the corner.

The gameplay was great, but I don't think the "gritty, edgelord" style would work as well these days. Give me Vigilante 8 or Interstate 76 instead please.

Buy reddit and get rid of all the bots like OP. Would reddit just be me and a dozen people after that? Probably, but fuck it - let reddit die. It's just a platform for AI to work on the language skills, scammers to rip people off, catfishers, and people with OF profiles that no one's interested in.
