What I picture when I hear “20 year old games”

vs

Games that are actually going to be 20 years old in 2026

[glitter-soda]

Just to make y’all feel even more old, here are some games that are going to be 10 years old in 2026:

Part of getting older is realizing how absolutely insane it is that basically every form of media is constantly trying to convince us that the most interesting moments of the lived human experience are happening in HIGH SCHOOL…… girl who gives a flying fuck what 16 year olds are doing.

they should invent an existence where the sweetest, most thoughtful people you've ever met don't suffer an endless series of indignities and injuries at the hands of gormless, self-obsessed monsters

The concept of "spyware" has disappeared from the common internet lingo after it became the case that the word could now be used to describe nearly every major website and a huge percentage of the most commonly-used software.

hey uh if you have an unemployed person in your life and they haven't volunteered information about how the job hunt is going, it's probably because it's going badly!!!! and asking said unemployed person how it's going will only make them feel Bad because the job hunt is Bad. I guarantee you that when the unemployed person in your life has a substantial employment update they will tell you about it. otherwise don't ask unless you're literally going to offer them a job. thank youuuuu

This website does not go out to shows/concerts, have sex (much less crazy BDSM stuff) or do drugs and yet they’re the most contentious topics on here

Patrick Pearse in 1915:

“It is good for the world that such things should be done. The old heart of the earth needed to be warmed with the red wine of the battlefields. Such august homage was never before offered to God as this, the homage of millions of lives given gladly for love of country.”

James Connolly in 1915:

“No, we do not think the old heart of the earth needs to be warmed with the red wine of millions of lives. We think anyone who does is a blithering idiot. We are sick of such teaching, and the world is sick of such teaching.”

I like the current wave of Twitter doordash/ubereats discourse because it's like this: you want the convenience of food delivery for little to no cost and you want the luxury of having a professional-looking person stand at your door and smile as they hand you your piping hot meal (as for whatever bizarre reason, you do not pick contactless). the reality of gig apps is that they are highly exploitative and are riddled with sign-on loopholes in order to attract people willing to work for the pennies you're paying them while also being in little position to protest(new immigrants, asylum seekers, formerly incarcerated, etc). any whiff of the reality that exists to pantomime this luxury fantasy you've bought into deeply disgusts and unsettles you. this is literally the plot of Parasite.

[witch-apologist]

This discourse was started around a DESI WOMAN IN THE UK feeling unsafe when random men impersonate clearly different ppl on the app. A desi woman living where there were literally just recently POGROMS AGAINST BROWN PPL. Y'all love erasing brown women's experiences. Y'all love acting like brown women are not one of the most vulnerable demographics to violence, especially mysoginistic violence.

Y'all are treating a brown woman concerned for her safety in one of the most racist countries on earth like she's a pearl clutching rich white woman locking her car door when she sees a black man. Shame on you all.

If you can't understand why a desi woman living in the same country where white supremacists just recently created a race checkpoint would want someone accountable to the delivery service she is paying for to be delivering her food then you need to start over. Go from fucking scratch.

[xenosagaepisodeone]

the men "impersonating" women are predominantly people who are renting other people's accounts because they cannot legally work for these services (the apps anticipate this btw it is part of how they can afford to mistreat their drivers) which puts the onus of responsibility on the account owners themselves instead of the worker, or they're the boyfriends/family members of drivers who drop off the order for them because of how unsafe having to meet a stranger at their home can be (and often is!). uber drivers are not employees of uber, they are formally independent contractors.

but the reason i am entertaining your response is not because i care to open a dialogue with you about this, it is because i think the idea you are weaving of someone living under a fascist government who doordashes hamburgers while maintaining the belief that there is at least a 50% chance that their dasher is a brownshirt is very funny. i like the idea that there are people who believe that these apps are full of kidnappers and murderers but still choose to use them regardless, like a conga line of lemmings (<- dont correct me on this) going off of a cliff. there is a slot machine in your brain rapid-firing stray concepts and ideas until you have constructed a perfect series of words to describe a hypothetical reality where you can hold doordashers "accountable" for making you see the reality of the labor supporting uber et al's business model. getting mad at indentured servants from the indentured servant app that you can download on your phone as if it is nothing has always been understood as entitlement and chauvinism to me, but i truly underestimated the depths to which the gig economy has rendered these people some kind of animalistic underclass that needs to be kept in line in the eyes of you people. if you are the kind of person who has ever cared what your uber eats delivery driver looks like, you are a completely alien individual to me.

"community will save us" yeah but also maybe look into purchasing a handgun
