*Company makes my life worse through their product*

I will boycott this product

*Company continues making my life worse, now through externalities*

How do I boycott an externality

(ok there are exceptions for like, small underpriced indie games, and sometimes friends get me gifts of stuff like elden ring-- but for the most part, that was a treadmill i couldn't be more glad to get off of)
like dude do you KNOW how many snes and psx games there are ALONE??
it's really hard to explain to new friends who find out i play video games that i'm also excited about new games, but i had to stop myself from buying anything until it had been out at least a year due to both budget reasons and because i'm already fully saturated with good games i want to play

"we're not using ai for game assets, we're just using it for..."

coding: you don't care if the final product is a buggy mess that crashes my machine

visualization: you don't care if your ideas are orignal, you'd rather just copy stuff that looks good

writing our emails: you don't care about team communication or feedback and your game will probably suffer as a result

A thing that never stops being funny to me is that electoral reform is stymied by the fact there are separate camps who want instant-runoff voting, Condorcet ranked voting, and proportional representation, and they don't cooperate. Seriously one of the funniest things to happen in human history. First Past the Post has a plurality of support so it wins every engagement. First Past the Post wins by First Past the Post rules.

really hate that when you play music, iphones but the controls on the screen even when locked-- it always results in my accidentally pausing, skipping, or tracking when im putting my phone away or pulling it out of my pocket

The Verge is doubling down and it's a good one to read and share 👌

Especially to your cis folks who are still somehow arguing that it's possible to watch something that’s directly funding a worldwide fascist crusade against trans people without being a part of the problem.
