But do you like primitivism? Why can't I get a straight answer from you?

Come to think of it, these memes are pretty prim since I made them 3 years ago. Reruns sure are comforting tho.

I've felt a bit uneasy about Sonic. On one hand, awesome plot line in Sonic 2 of going from the jungle to the chemical plant, freeing all the captured animals — too many MegaDrive games are exclusively about shooting Russians or ducks, and Sonic (along with Ecco) are great exceptions to this. On the other hand, Sonic plastic figures were part of the Happy Meals back then, and he's a mascot for a military tech company (SErvice GAmes). I'm glad he's being reappropriated having his purpose clarified.
In the 2020 film, Jim Carrey-Robotnik rambles about wanting to spread anarchism. Seemed odd, but of course he's ancap. I think I get it now.
I'd say playing S1K.BIN in Mednafen on discarded laptops does feel slightly primitivist, as compared with hardware required by modern AAA games.

I don't understand why you aren't satisfied with the queer answers given to you.
What, queer answers aren't good enough or something?

You can be anti-civ without being primitivist.
