I think it would be a pretty good joke if they made the combat of the next souls game turn based. Still monstrously difficult, release the game on an April 1st and have the entire gaming subset of players switch their stances

I unironically think Gary is going to feature Binface in an episode if he’s elected as a MP, it would make numbers skyrocket and Binface is able to be serious while cracking jokes

There’s a lot of jackets in November with 20° weather, at least in Melbourne - I got so many chuffed looks for wearing a T-shirt in cloudy weather

There’s an overweight of outcasts in gaming spaces, which is why queer people are incredibly overrepresented. Both among developers, players and in games themselves

But for the same reasons, you’ll find gaming related echo chambers that funnel people into hate filled ideology such as incel culture. A different kind of outcasts.

Sure gaming have become quite mainstream and you can find almost any sub group who games. But most “normies” games less than the outcasts, as they don’t need the escapism it allows for.

Within the more “normal people” group, there’s also variations. Some allow for hatred to exist within the communities they act within, some don’t, some allow for queer safe spaces others turn around the second they see it.

It’s a nuanced topic, which could turn into paragraph after paragraph. But outcasts are overrepresented within gaming. Especially rural outcasts, as they aren’t able to find a physical group to mirror themselves in

America voting in a woman and a latina at the same time? That’s the cope y’all need

Being a champion of establishment is the biggest self own in those states, both deep red and blue states.

Nobody want a status quo, when the status quo means everything is getting worse around them. Between status quo or a hail Mary, they choose a hail Mary as it’s better than consistently downgrading

The thing is contamination pollutes upwards, so if leafy greens have 1 mg of radiation per daily intake. The meat from herbivores would be something like ten times that amount and carnivores would be ten times the contamination of herbivores.

We’re seeing this effect with micro plastics and fish, the higher up in the food chain a fish is, the more micro plastics they have

The hunting equipment can be for other scenarios.

Financial systems breakdown, into full anarchy. I reckon a cabin in nowhere, hunting equipment and barn full of seeds would be pretty rad for that scenario.

But yeah, eating plants is better than eating animals when contamination is a risk

There’s also laws in place if you’re in focus, that requires permission.

Sure I can take a picture of a plaza and if you happen to be on that photo, that’s bad luck. But I can’t zoom in on you garbling down a spinach roll.

For your scenario of going too close and forcing their way to film voyeur stuff, sounds like harassment

I suppose it makes extracting the valuable/scarce materials easier when the circuit boards brick

Bioplastics is probably also a key to unlock that

But in case of a radioactive catastrophe, how long would you need the bunker to last?

If people begin pumping even more more games out, the only way really to combat the shit is by increasing the fee to be marketed - It’s 100$ on steam today, but is given back if the game makes 1000$ in sales.

It would be bad for everyone, especially smaller devs from poorer countries if this fee were increased further. But it’s a pretty effective guardrail against bad and miniscule games

I do not agree Microsoft is in that category, but they’re mainly a B2B player today.

A little less than 20% of revenue per earnings '25 was from consumers - The rest for business offerings. I’m curious to hear which selection of companies you consider the main ones. Because Microsoft is still top 5 within Tech when it comes to power.

Google hit as big a market share as they could, so their way to grow the search machine was to increase the market.

How do you increase the market? By pushing the most relevant links further back, so people have to go to page 2, 3 or 4. So it’s unfortunately the best financial decision, short term, to enshittify their main product

It’s mostly all of the generated by LLM websites that’s annoying to shift through

Which banknotes utilises the most unflattering creep shots of faces?

That’s not something I’ve seen anywhere before, the rest of the people ones are pretty standard. But creepy faces is absolutely not normal

Then they used big data algorithms, to determine the most effective strike - Based on the old data.

Had a person review for 5 seconds and rubber stamped it. We know Israel uses big data/AI algorithms in Gaza, there’s no reason to believe the US doesn’t use them for analytical purposes for their strikes

Hand drawn and creep faces (A) are by far the best

You didn’t state you like the Republicans nor the current version called MAGAs, so you’re certainly a leftist
