bethesda games give all gamers the “oh i walked 30m in game, time to quicksave again” instinct

i think the futuristic aspect will stay still it’s a future of an alternate world - think steampunk, victorian scifi but still scifi. this is atomic age scifi

guess they realised Instagram isn’t ohio skibidi amongst younger generations and decided to rizz the kids with a thing that looks new but is the same

ah, nevermind

yeah exactly, maybe he’ll find something useful along the way. At least the rich have (hopefully) stopped their usual “youth restoring” rituals like bathing in infant blood

it- it understands dark humour and sarcasm? huh

huh? how? why? i have never seen that article before in my life how did that happen? attempt two to post the right thing. huh this one worked i’m genuinely so deeply confused, i’ll update the original too. thank you for telling me!

both fuel each other

wild ideas of philosphers entice those who like concrete data to see if they hold useful value

i think it’s like science fiction and science - sure one is often a collage of various wild ideas - but some of them could inspire a person in a fancy lab coat to say “huh, that’s cool, i wonder if i could make that real” (that’s how we got mobile phones!)

being a scientist can sometimes trap you into the world of concrete data that’s very detail orientated, scientists need their philosopher friends who just say wild shower thoughts without thinking too much about specifics. Small picture and big picture are not opposing forces after all, they complete each other

edit: fixed a broken link

i’m good on CO2, just water and kind words please uwu

yes

all my problems of suddenly waking up in the middle of the night to drink a whole glass of water and splash my face in the sink were solved when i got a humidifier

there’s enough data in my bum i don’t want more

it truly is. nature never imagined us having access to all the world’s atrocities within the reach of our hand 24/7. empathy is supposed to make us bond within our little tribes, not get bombarded with words of death and misery across the globe

idk how it works in the browser or in other launchers but i use Boost and it’s settings -> blocks and filters -> muted words

my personal block list is there for my mental health and sanity and includes: musk, elon, trump, donald, genocide, isreal, palestine.

i still see posts that simply ommit any of the keywords in the title, but there’s significantly less of them, which is honestly perfect

a game can be good and have predatory gambling mechanics inside of it. in fact making a game people want to play more of, enables those mechanics to work on a larger number of people

this doesn’t really apply to billionaires, the same people who oppose things like student debt forgiveness will also lick billionaires’ boots and present them as the role models of the “american dream”

it’s the bitter people who had it hard in life, and think new generations having it easier is something bad, it’s unfair, even though as a civilisation we should all strive to make life easier for those who come after us. but no “if i had it bad in life, you have to go through the same, or you’re not really [insert whatever group you feel like, man/woman/american/minority]”, as if struggle and suffering was a right of passage

it’s fascinating how the “top selling” that is measured by “gross revenue” has so many “free to play” games on the top. ahhh the aggressive gambling tactics

“if i can’t have it, nobody should have it”

also applies to everyone who opposes progress because they had it hard in life

person, though a much more difficult encounter it’d probably cost nothing to get them out of there, and the likehood of them coming back is much lower. all it’d take for the roaches to come back is the exterminator missing 2 or 4 of them

in most places it’s legal to buy and have the mycelium itself but it’s illegal to let it grow

so many online shops that very clearly are not for scientists with a lil disclaimer somewhere saying “please do not make drugs out of this, this is purely for looking at through a microscope for all the amateur mycologists :))))”
