Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    The world-building in that narrative thread is extremely chewy. :D

    Because of the silo-ed nature of the OCP bureaucracy, no-one really knows how many times that the world has been destroyed and re-built. :D

        The game mechanics are similar to most tactical MMORPG’s, but it’s the quality of the storytelling that stands out. :D

        In the first section that you are sent to explore, the player is acting as an investigator/cleaner in an HP Lovecraft story. :D

        What is also interesting from the pov of gameplay, is that you can only make some of the choices once in the main story arc. :D

        Want to make different choices, you have to start again with a new character. :D
