  • Only fanboys. The same kind that worship Musk or any other fellated-by-the-press CEO as some kind of hero. They softball any criticisms and turn them into positives - “He murdered a bunch of kids, but the creativity he got from the blood splatter and time spent in court-ordered community service got us this addictive device we’re all fawning over…let’s justify the ridiculous price and wait in line for one!” Something about objectively shitty people heading up organizations seems to attract sycophants and bootlickers.







  • I don’t think you need 1k hours to indicate games are being used as an escape. It could be a social thing where a group plays regularly and has invested time in the group and world such as Starcraft or WoW. I don’t disagree at all that games can be an escape for people with life issues, I just don’t know if hours invested is a great indicator. I’ve got over 3k in one game, but that’s mostly because it’s got quick rounds, I can start and stop between other things with no penalty, it’s been out for 4 years, and I still find it fun. The time adds up.
