  • Sam is a ring bearer. He briefly took it over when he thought Frodo was dead during the whole shelob affair. Unlike just about everyone else, he’s the only character I know of that willingly gave it up. Fuck, even Gandalf didn’t want to bear the ring because he knew it would corrupt him and he’d refuse to let go of that power.


  • What’s driving this trend? The enshitification of triple AAA titles fucking slapping surcharges on EVERYTHING; day one dlc, microtransactions, always online DRM, the ability to revoke access to the shit we pay for, it’s death by 1000 cuts. EVERY anti-consumer action, every attempt to squeeze more of us while delivering the same rehashed shit over and over just drives me further into the arms of indie developers. The intent of us withholding our money and refusing to purchase your shit is to provide publishers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for retaining their customer base.
