the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

i have ultra broke friends that will scrape and scrounge to upgrade video cards so they can play really pretty looking games at launch and they're always trying to get me to upgrade my shit so i can be part of the spectacle. we're all well into our 40s now and playing some new game on the highest settings just doesn't improve my quality of life the way that it did when i was in my early 20s. if i'm gonna drop some hundos on something now, it's gonna be like shelving or tools to make my life easier. there are so many enjoyable games that are run like a dream on a 5+ year old video card.
trying to stay on top of all the latest is rich people shit and it's wild to me how many not-rich people get sucked onto the treadmill.
My 10 year old computer runs Hades and Baba Is You just fine. There is literally no reason for me to "upgrade"
The only reason I want to upgrade my 8+ year old rig is so I can play rimworld and factorio with an absurd amount of mods without crashing or 40m loading times. But I can't afford it so I just suffer them
