it's weird to me that Terraria is one of the best selling games of all time. like, i can definitely see that it was a successful game with a fun mechanic, and most of my friends had a copy at some point, and we played together a dozen or so times for a few months when it first came out, and i really enjoyed it. but it definitely doesn't have the same level of 'mindshare' as games it hugely outsold. e.g. i've personally never met Terraria Megafans where the only thing they're into is Terraria

I was having a great conversation with a customer, feeling like I was about to start a revolution, when things took a turn. She started on about some new virus that she heard about. She’s christian and said the world is controlled by the spiritual, and scientists are using science to create viruses to take all of us out. I wanted to say, that’s cool, go off though. whatever it takes to get people to think outside of the machine that we were born into. I ended up just saying yeah there’s a lot that goes on behind closed doors that benefit a select few and keeps us held down.
I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's
