Room 101-style talk, Gaming itself 

I just think the WHO must have realised that it's overrated. If we realised how the gaming comunity would have ended up, we wouldn't have gotten into it.

Imagine a company trying to sell you an experience like that. "Oh, try this, you can do anything and be anyone, but you'll end up feeling like you've been stung by a swarm of angry wasps."

Every time I start up a modern game, I think "Not this again."

Well...that was fun. 

I had a near-breakdown of my mental health a few months back. Fun, eh?

hey youtube

I really don't want "news" on my front page

"It has never been more clear that anything placed online on a website operated by a for-profit company will only remain online for so long as the company believes it is in their financial or legal interest to do so, and not a moment longer."

whoof.

re: PlayStation classic 

Oh, and adding Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee to the above list of known games, as well as Ridge Racer Type 4. I would have expected Gran Turismo (2), or the Spyro or Crash games on it.

PlayStation classic 

Well, again, against all warnings and sense, I bought a PlayStation classic. Sadly, it's a little underwhelming. The 20 games aren't the ones that come to mind when you say "Playstation". There's a few that I would say hit that:

- Final Fantasy VII
- Metal Gear Solid
- Tekken 3

That's pretty much it. The rest are pretty little-known and very odd choices. Intelligent Qube (or Kurushi) seems like a big one. Very few people know about it.

This is one of those "your axioms dictate what kinds of theorems you can prove" kinda things. If you do not take empathy as an axiom, you will never prove you should be good to people.

My hope is, if you truly want to be a good person, logic and reason will guide you there.

But my understanding is, if all you want to be is logical and rational, you might eventually find yourself in a very cruel way.

Sadly, it looks like Australia will be another Far-Right black-hole, weakening encryption for the sake of Terrorism.

Asylum / good praxis 

A church in Den Haag has been having an ongoing church service that started on 26 October. This is because Dutch cops aren't allowed to deport people who are at church and they're protecting an asylum-seeker family with credible threats to their lives. protestantsekerkdenhaag.nl/chu

This is what church ought to be for. IMO. They're taking donations and looking for volunteers as there must always be at least two people present for the service to continue.

Fallout 76 

So..against all warning signs, I bought a copy of Fallout 76 that had money off.

Does it work? Pretty much.
Is it fun? Well..kinda?

It just seems so barebones. I guess I must be one of the lucky ones. The others that aren't..well, they're joining a class action, so I heard.

Hurray for Anxiety over two Nazi world leaders..well..3..trying to out-nazi one another to nuclear war!

Was that a term..? Guess what, it is now!

Does anyone want to say it, or should I?

PSA to White Folks about White Centered Racism 

If a person of color trash talks white people and you find yourself hurt and upset by it, bare the following in mind:

The way that made you feel is an emotion that most people of color experience every single day. They have to carefully bottle that emotion up and hide it away from public view.

If you see a glimpse of that anger, don't try to police it. Instead try to quietly empathize with where it comes from.

If you do, it won't be about you. ♥️

UKUSPol 

I never expected the relationship between Hitler and Eva Braun to be so..uh..what's the term, tsundere?

UKUSPol 

Thanks to Hitler and Eva Braun, it's likely that the UK will go even more authoritarian-right and likely end up in a deeper relationship with the US. This sucks.

UKUSpol 

It's official, I get the feeling that the goverment will get further right thanks to the annoying orange. Expect things to get worse here, too.
