At the risk of resurrecting my previous toot on the matter which ended up killing my notifications for a solid week, the new 1TB microSD cards just announced by SanDisk and Micron would mean that IPoverTrebuchet now supports packets of 225 petabytes

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m

90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them

Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m

This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created

This is Sword World. It's real

It's frankly laughable to me that people rush to make The Stanley Parable into a game about god or some other random shit when every single aspect of it is trying to tell you that it's about capitalism. Everything from the plot, to the sound design, to the smallest details of the environment is focused on the absurd and cruel machinery of the post-fordist workplace. That's what that game is about before it is about anything else.
