As someone that has played a fuck ton of Star Citizen and bought a few ships... Don't. It used to be a game. Now it's a marketplace without the game. Every time they update it they make things worse and break everything else. Nowadays I can't even get into it for more than an hour before I realize it's the same game as it's ever been or worse. I'd rather just go play something else. But don't worry, they're more than happy to sell you a ship for $2,000 that's been "in development" since you were in highschool.

I get your point. But at the same time the first step to convincing someone of your own opinions isn't to be an asshole. I've known these people since long before Trump was even campaigning for the first time. Is he wrong and kind of an asshole? Yes he is. He used to make fun of me for wearing masks during the pandemic. But at the end of the day we still bullshit and play online video games together all the time and go camping every year.

I'm not going to be able to change anybody's opinion by insulting them and making them feel stupid. I'm going to treat them like people. Misguided people, but still people.

My friends that are republican. They even voted for Trump. We just don't talk about politics too much these days. At least until recently with this whole "Project 2025" because we both agree it's fucking ridiculous.

They're here too. I've run into a few brand new accounts that are only commenting on posts like this. Like, accounts that are less than a day old trolling on every political post you can find.

I'm glad people are actually reading it. Or at least googling it and seeing what it's all about. I read that shit back when it first came out and have been trying to get people I know to read it too. Especially to my republican friends that care about the kinda stuff that's in that dumpster fire.

You made your account today and have done nothing but post negative comments on political posts. What sane person would join Lemmy just to look at political stuff they disagree with and only comment on those? Someone that has an agenda, that's who. You talk about fear mongering from the left in one of your comments but that's all you're doing and have done since you made your account.

I recommend you block this guy before getting into the argument he wants out of you. It's what I'm gonna do.

The first "Despicable Me" came out when I was in high school. Now I'm 30. I remember when my nephew was super into these movies as well and now he's about to start high school.

I'm just saying this franchise is getting a little excessive. Soon they'll have more movies in the Minions Cinematic Universe than Star Wars has in theirs.

After over 1,000 hours in that game, I left my negative review a couple years ago and quit forever. The predatory monetization eats away at the fun. Slowly at first, but building up over time. It's just been bad decision after bad decision since the game came out. You slowly start to realize the game you've been playing isn't even fun anymore and you only play for the new cosmetics for fear of missing out. Daily challenges, weekly challenges, seasons, events, limited time game modes, premium skins, loot boxes, special legendary cosmetics for those that spend the most, vaulting content for a false sense of scarcity and slow progression. And now after all this, the one thing people could get from a one time purchase (if they grind hard enough) is gone. Honestly, I'd leave another negative review if I could.

I'd honestly love to see Trump and Biden step down so we have the potential to actually get candidates worth voting for. None of this "if you don't vote were fucked" situation where in now.

I forgot there was a Shrek 4. And even though I remember it now I couldn't tell you what it's about.

That was one of My favorite things about Crunchyroll. I love going through the comments after finishing a series and seeing what others were thinking. I know anime fans can be pretty crazy, but I very rarely saw toxic comments. It was mostly people talking about a shared experience and was surprisingly wholesome the majority of the time. I even got some good recommendations about what to watch next because of it too

If my kids did that I'd be perfectly fine with them getting kicked out of school or even if the teachers wanted to press charges. I know teachers can be shitty but this is completely uncalled for unless they were actually doing those things
