Sleazy propaganda is sleazy propaganda even if it’s in my favor.

Also have a degree in wildlife conservation and I second all of this.

It is a perfectly fine thing. Humans are part of the ecosystem. We are predators and fill that niche. So long as we do so with attention paid to ensure it is done sustainably then there is nothing wrong.

Tell me you only play mainstream titles without telling me you only play mainstream titles.

Capitalism is when the means of production are seized to empower an elite few while simultaneously disempowering everyone else. This is the essence of class division.

Communism is when the means of production is seized by the people and then shared equally, as communism is classless.

Does “indie” for you mean “a studio which independently develops games” or does it mean “a studio that does everything independently”
