man i doubt any gaming controvery will ever top no man’s sky

like it had this absolutely massive marketing campaign, had huge backing from sony, sean murray even had televised appearances on american talk shows to show off his revolutionary new game and to talk about features in the game

and then the game came out and it was all fake. everything. every single screenshot, piece of footage, every single promised feature was all a lie. none of that was in the game. 

not even fucking multiplayer. 

they spent so much time in the marketing talking about the multiplayer and how every player was part of an interconnected universe and that, though unlikely due to the sheer size of the universe, players would be able to meet and interact with one-another

and then in less than a week two players “found” each other and it turned out the multiplayer was completely fake. there was no multiplayer. none of it was real. 

and then

everyone involved with the game, at least all of the most publicly recognizable people involved, fucking vanished

and the office hello games was using was abandoned

nobody knows where hello games went or where sean murray is 

a small team of indie developers sold the gaming community a lie, tricked one of the biggest multimedia companies in the world in to backing them, and then vanished 

nothing will ever top that. nothing will ever top hello games exploiting the hype and preorder culture surrounding video games for a profit and then running off with the money. i fucking dare the industry to top that.

do you ever get so disgusted with yourself, like you can not believe how stupid and thoughtless you are and it’s so frustrating because you keep telling yourself that you’ll do better next time but then next time rolls around and the same thing keeps happening and you end up in this pattern of mediocrity.

“Fidget toys make you less focused :)” that because you’re not adhd/autistic you fucking clod

list of things i have heard from people without adhd/autism who used my fidget toy:

– it doesn’t do anything

– its a waste of plastic

– how do you pay attention in class

– it makes so much noise (it doesn’t make any noise, they just saw i had it in my hand)

– at least my fidget spinner actually does stuff (my toy does 6 different things. also they got their fidget spinner taken the same day)

– its gay (creative)

things my friends with adhd/autism have said after using my fidget toy:

– oh my god

– its so…. Good

– i could actually pay attention to shit in class

– where can i buy this???

– wait there’s More stuff like this

– i love you. (not related to the toy per say but that felt nice)

This right here is an important post

As a teacher, the whole “fidget spinners being marketed as toys” is the most terrifying trend my students have introduced me to. I gave a fidget cube to one of my 6th grade students who’s been struggling all year with his adhd, who is so smart but is failing math because he can’t focus in it. He was hesitant at first, about a teacher giving him something “to help” rather than punishing him, but agreed with me that it couldn’t hurt to try. 

He hasn’t put it down. 

Everyday since he got it, I’ve seen him with it. He holds it in his pocket, and hasn’t climbed on a table or cussed at a teacher since. 

BUT

There are at least 20 other kids in our school who bring fidget spinners and play with them out on the table during lessons. They don’t pay attention in class, and they disrupt other students’ learning. These are not students with adhd or anxiety, these are students who are just playing because they’re kids and that’s what kids do. 

What scares me is I know other teachers have been confiscating them. They’re going to be banned, if it continues to be a problem. And my 6th grader, who’s had noticeable improvements since he started playing with his cube, is going to get in trouble for using something that helps him learn.

just wanted 2 say it also helps ocd/anxiety. when i have rly bad ocd i use the fidget cube and flick the switch back and forth and focus on the feeling/sound instead of intrusive thoughts.

I use them for my anxiety
