Ark is a masterclass on how to make a video game that's actively hostile towards its user base.

Terroristic threats! Bake him away, toys!

As a nearly decades long veteran of Ark, I'm beyond familiar with characters that look like an amalgamation of Jabba the Hutt and a russet potato.

"The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.”

Full-on mask off, now. Owner class protecting owner class, nothing to see here. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

When i worked at a ski basin, I called that "working from dark to dark," and i hate it so fucking much.

Yes, it is.

I used to think it was just a movie that happened during Christmas, but it wasn't a Christmas movie. I changed my mind when it was pointed out that the movie wouldn't have happened if it wasn't Christmas. He was visiting his family for Christmas. It's not a typical Christmas movie, but it is a Christmas movie.
