I'm really starting to hate the term "controlled opposition" not because I don't think it exists because it clearly does. I'm literally the one who points out how nearly every major world event is a psyop for crying out loud.
I just really hate how it is abused. It's now used by those to attack anyone who only partially agrees with them, or to blackwash them so people won't take them seriously.
The truth is, you can never truly know who is or isn't controlled opposition. You need to come to your own conclusion. And even if someone is controlled op, they still can be right about some things. A broken clock is right at least twice a day. And someone being wrong might mean that they are just misinformed. You can still listen to them why still keeping a critical mind.
I almost feel like this has actually been eroding my friendships over the last 4 or 5 years. Everyone always wants to play the new hot game that is out, I'll try it and not really be into it too much and they'll keep playing it with people from work or whatever. I keep trying to ask if they want to play games with me that I enjoy, even ones we used to play together, but it never happens :P It's more or less gotten to the point where I don't even try out most new games anymore since I know I'll probably play them twice, think they're just okay, and then within the next month something else new comes out that everyone switches to anyway. My friends I've had for over a decade are now better friends with people they've known for like 3 or 4 years than they are with me. I know people change and friend groups change and stuff, it's part of life, but having nobody IRL that enjoys the same stuff as you kinda sucks. I don't even try to be a hipster or anything. I'm not trying to be actively against popular stuff. I don't even think things being popular is why I stay away from them. I think my tastes just often REALLY don't align with any larger community.
@beardalaxy @graf Uploads have now been implemented along with logos and screenshots. I just need to include tags, patch any possible exploits, and then I can move onto mods.
