The only good capitalism sims are GameDevTycoon, which makes you complicit in the enshittification while playing a plagiarized game, and Roller Coaster Tycoon, which accurately depicts the tycoon mindset.
In the first game I remember charging about $5.00 or something for the bathroom. Easiest fake money I’ve ever made to fuel the construction of my psychopathic murder rides.
Being fair, capitalism works great in games. The system necessarily determines a winner, there are no externalities inside of a video game, and the people whose labor you’re profiting from are NPCs.
These games are tagged capitalism, but they use this wild version of capitalism where the person doing the work gets to keep the value their work creates. I think there’s a name for that…
I notice that 3 looks like a sideways ω, which is the symbol used to represent an ordinal number larger than all finite ordinal numbers.
In other words Valve might see 3 as essentially meaning infinity, and is thus unreachable. No matter how many new versions they make, they can never get to 3.
I feel old that I remember when people made this joke about Capcom - That they didn’t know how to count to 3. Now it’s just Valve, it’s for all their games instead of one, and I feel like it’s been true way longer than I could make the joke about Capcom lol.
For context, there was like a million versions of Street Fighter 2. (SF 2 : Champion Edition, SF II: Turbo, Super SF II: New Challengers, Super SF II: Turbo, Hyper SF II, it went on and on).
This isn’t a meme but apparently it is real and Hassidic Jews were digging tunnels in NYC to get to synagogues safely. I have no direct sources right now but it happened, apparently.
Where did you get the ‘to get there safely’ part? The story I saw said that the reason was unknown. I understood that it was some kids that decided to annex some other buildings and broke through the walls of the synagogue against the wishes of the elders. Insane story overall.

Jesus wept, are they funny in the head, or is the USA really so dangerous now that people are digging tunnels to go places rather than walk on normal public streets and take the bus?
Surely they’re just barmy? The USA has problems but it’s not at the level of “Honey I’m going to the shops, better dig a tunnel, don’t want the Mad Max gangs to catch me, you know how dangerous it is to go out on land before sunset!”.
Is it really for “get to synagogues safely” tho? I mean there are better ways for it :D For example, according to statistics, the safest method of travel is airplanes 🤦♂️
The article says a rogue group within the synagogue claimed to have made the tunnel to illegally access an empty building next door, as the synagogue had become overcrowded and they needed the space.
