We have seen some people on the right start to criticize video games and gamers who consume those video games, and they are surprised when they start to get backlash. If you want to go Anita Sarkeeaian on us and start telling gamers why they're bad people for liking things they like, then expect some backlash.
Reality is, the alliance between gamers and the right is and has always been fragile. It is contingent on the idea of "if you can sod off and leave me alone to enjoy what I enjoy, we can be friends". The left used to have the same deal, but they got too big and tried to renegotiate the terms of the deal. It turns out people who just want to do their thing, largely alone in a room by themselves don't want people who aren't even in the same room yapping at them.
I think it's surprising number of the people on the winning coalition on the right at the moment have similar views, that they just want to help whoever will leave them alone.
Now it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask what's the point of having a bunch of people on your side who by definition don't really want to follow your ideas. Besides the fact that you always need supporters whatever system you're living under, the fact is that once you have someone ideologically, cultural osmosis happens regardless. A lot of gamers are looking at changing regardless because upon being exposed to ideas that are fundamentally good they choose willingly to follow those ideas without being attacked into it. As an example, a record number of Bibles are being sold right now, many to first time buyers. That's the new coalition putting their noses down and doing their homework without being prompted.

Also just pretending you stay the same age forever.
It's not healthy. We age, we get wrinkles, we gain fat, and we change in our minds, growing wiser, more sentimental, more cynical perhaps. Clinging to our early 20s is a recipe for tragedy.

Started laying out my third book today. The second book is a techincal book, the third is a science fiction book.
I mean, the fact that I would never let her live it down kind of makes me the cunt she married LOL
"Could I have a drink hunny?" "Well I'm comfortable" "don't worry about it, I just leaped into a polar bear cage, (that's the latest landbound predator on Earth by the way) to save you but don't worry about it I'll go get my own drink"

Ngl, if I ever did this for my wife she'd never hear the end of it. She'd for sure wish the polar bear had finished me off.
I could absolutely imagine it as some spoiled rich kid who never got the memo that you're not actually supposed to act on your luxury beliefs, you're just supposed to cash the checks and pretend you hate capitalism.
I'm still a bit of a doomer economically in the immediate near term, but things will get better after that.
I actually saw "do the needful" in a professional email recently.
I can't quite articulate the emotions I had in that moment.

Maybe Penny should sue him. It's like you raised such a piece of garbage son that I've had to go through all of this. I'm sure you got part of his entire estate of 20 bucks and half a pack of chewing gum, maybe that should be my half a pack of chewing gum.
Oh no people might protect innocent and defenseleas people against violent lunatics.
I saw some leftists were saying they'd riot over the verdict. It's like "This is a New York City jury. There aren't many places more friendly to you than that and they acquitted him. Sit down and shut up."
Unfortunate but absolutely true facts.
Yes, not every well raised kid is going to grow up right, some kids just choose the wrong path, but by the numbers that's a tiny minority. Do your damn job, and your kids will grow up well.

I normally use my own searx instance by default, but did the google search on a lark.
I've got some updated hardware coming in which I'm hoping should help YaCy speed up somewhat.

I was going to find the "well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions" meme, but then I realized there were hundreds of them so here's the first page from google.
