Title is a reference to a recent Semi-Ramblomatic video by Yahtzee.

(post 1) ever notice how men critize games like animal crossing and stardew valley on the basis of "the entire game is just doing tasks" without recognizing that "kill bad guy" is also just a task but violent? (Post 2, Same User) "It's so boring all you do is talk to people and do tasks so you can buy new things" yeah and all y ou do is press a bunch of buttons to kill people so you can buy new things? perish (Post 3, same user) My activity page has not known peace since I made this post I have hundreds of insufferable gamers crawling up my pant legs now but luckily I have a secret up my sleeve... I too am a gamer man. I'm immune to the gamer venom. (Post 4, new user) This has the same energy as that post that's "Red Dead Redemption is just Barbie's Horse Adventure with Violence."

Stardew Valley lets me feel like that I have a satisfying job, when real corporations would abuse and discard me at their convenience. It is quite the power fantasy, being a productive member of humanity without having to sacrifice myself.

    Receive the full value of your labor? It's absolutely criminal.
