This is a fair argument, I just don’t think it’s a cult of personality. The far right is performing shockingly well all around the world. It’s not because of the personalities involved, it’s because for one reason or another the ideas are popular. People can tell the world is getting worse, and many are blaming cultural outsiders rather than capitalism and the rich.

I don’t think Trump going away would solve any problems. The people who voted for him will still exist, and will still be easy to manipulate. Trump is not special, his success is a product of the right wing disinformation machine and the failure of previous governments to stave off wealth inequality.

Yet more evidence that the next decade may not be a good time to be a fan of racing games. Feels bad.

This sucks. I remember seeing the membership price hikes a while ago. It has been an interesting experience being someone loved RS to death in the mid-late 2000s, signed up for the 2007scape private servers, saw OSRS get announced and become so popular that I ended up getting to play it on my ipad, and now seeing this era of crazy price increases and layoffs.

Almost makes me wish I played it more back when times were good, but I always ended up playing IM and quitting for a year plus when I died.
