this is so obviously false it’s enfuriating coming from the head of HHS. Lots of coutnries all over the world have the same violent video games we do without the mass shootings.
“Switzerland has a comparable number of guns as we do, and the last mass shooting they had was 23 years ago,” said Kennedy, 71. “We have a mass shooting every 23 hours.”
“There are many things that happened in the 1990’s that could explain these,” he added. “One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs… there could be connections with video games and social media.”
okaaaaaaay… follow that train of thought just a liiiiiitle bit further bobby. Do you think Switzerland is stuck in the 80s or something?
look i’m not a ICE apologist or antyhing (these apply to EVs as well) but it’s not hard to figure out why car games are more popular. Also I’m not saying these are universal rules, i’m sure some disagree. But I think it’s safe to say these apply to most in the gamer market.
more power and speed = more fun.
Games are as close as most people will come to driving an expensive car like a BMW, let alone a Ferrari, or even actual racing cars.
Even if you argue people are just not culturally conditioned to aesthetically enjoy bicycles, could you even really appreciate them in the same way in a video game? you’d barely see them.
Cars are much more complex machines and that leads to each having a more unique character than bicycles, and that allows a greater variety of gameplay. For example, mid/front engine, ICE/EV, NA/turbo/super, FWD/RWD/AWD, etc. And usually in games there’s a progression from lower performance cars to higher performance cars.
what’s fucking sad is I don’t think this guy even realizes he has a problem.
One things for sure, I will not spend this much again, because you don’t get rewarded for it. As much as I spent, I should have everything in the game, but it’s not even close.
That’s what you say when you’ve spent like $100. hell maybe even $1000. But $32k??? This is so far beyond being not “rewarded for it”.
