I think it could serve that purpose (and honestly has to some degree), but the big thing that I didn't consider when I was young was that a lot of people just want to hate (or to convince others to be focused on hate), and will find spaces to spread and amplify that hate. I underestimated the capacity and drive of those that would spread fear and anger.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was young, I thought the Internet would bring the world together since you could sit and have a conversation with people all over the world with different perspectives, and befriending those from different walks of life would help break us out of small-town small-mindedness where everyone "not like us" is scary...

Yeah, I might have been a bit too optimistic with that one.

I'm kinda torn because of this. I like for good games to get recognition and be successful. Part of me wants to buy the game and give it a shot because it's been well received and I'm happy to support an indie dev... But I really do not want to help establish a trend of indies sleeping on advertising/spreading word, then crying "woe is me" after a single week when barely anybody was aware of it, as a way of guerilla marketing their game. I also need to watch a bit more gameplay to see if it's even in my wheelhouse before I decide to spend $20 on it.

Bopl Battle is a hilarious party game for up to 4 people. The rounds go really quick so it's a great game to play with friends when you have a limited amount of time, but the fun doesn't wear out fast either.

Dude I loved that game back in the day. So many great mods for it too

If you like nice shirts with no design or logo, Kohl's has some really comfortable shirts in several colors and no logo at all. They're some of my favorite shirts right now.

Pretty sure people have been shitting on AI pretty heavily as well, partly for those reasons (but also for several others).

How do you feel about square drive? I'm no carpenter, just someone that's done enough work around the house, but I've found that Torx are the best option but square is a close second (but I don't think I've used them in any especially high torque situations, and they may fall short there).

The city runs a land bank you can buy decapitated houses from for $1k.

Damn, are there a lot of houses that had their heads cut off?

The thing with those is that, while it was a small amount of content, it wasn't just a mission, each was about an hour of repeatable content that was fairly fun to farm. At $2, they actually still felt worth it with as much fun as B2 was. If they had asked for like $10 each, people would have flipped out.
I'm not a Starfield player, but I would bet this is not even close to as good of a value proposition.
