Why isn’t it an exit? There could be a ladder or a tunnel or a portal.

Isn’t it amazing how birds reverse engineered airplanes?

Some of the best games are games that no one asked for.

As a non American who has visited the US,

It’s the creepiest thing when the anthem starts playing and everyone around you turns into zombies, all facing the same direction, all frozen in place. The first time it happened I felt like I was the only human left in an Invasion of the Body Snatchers situation.

Real brainwashed vibes.

It won’t change how you would handle them, you need to treat them all as a risk, but it would reduce accidental detonation after the time limit. Like a kid running over one in 20 years time.

“stop depicting blobfish like this, and blobfish isn’t what it’s called”

That specific one, as depicted, is blobfish. Blobfish is not a species, it’s an individual. Like Greenboots.

I interpreted it as a stereotype of certain privileged classes of white people that are so out of touch with the struggles of the world that they don’t realise how dangerous it is to try this. In fact, I think there has been cases of upper/middle-upper class people who have gone on these kinds of tourism-pilgrimage and have ended up dead.

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked long ago.

What’s the ffxiv reference here?

Anubis is from Egyptian mythology.

Mid budget hasn’t had a place in cinemas since DVDs went out of style. I think that was in the early 2010s.

Hollywood has made the mistake in believing COVID was some kind of reset button on cinemas, when in fact COVID taught people watching movies at home was a better experience for anything except IMAX/VFX blockbusters.

If you can’t afford chocolate, you should be working to earn more money.

The ideas have always been there, it’s just a bottle neck on cheap electronics and people figuring out the foundation technology. I can’t think of to many tech advancements that have surprised me; that’s not too say they aren’t impressive, but just about anything we can imagine is possible.

The main thing I don’t expect to see is useful and reliable brain/electronics interfaces. I think biology is too unique for an of the shelf product to be possible, which means it’s too hard to make a profitable product.

The Australian government is heavily criticised for half-assing fibre internet because they did copper to the house in most cases. We still, a decade later, have one of the worst internet in the western world.

I think satellites are likely much cheaper to deliver internet to a whole continent than trying to run bloody copper.

No such thing as a fish

I’m not sure what I want more,

Smaller scale spy films that aren’t so reliant on guns and explosions, or a return to the camp gadget-centric action romps?

The Craig era did revitalise the brand, but they were actively trying to distance themselves from the Austin Powers at the time, which did take it away from what it had been for decades.

Great game.

Did this exist before or after worms?

I’m my country they made it illegal to market fast food directly to kids. It may not be a choice, it may be regulatory.

What is the skeuomorphism here? Because I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

I don’t think climate change will prevent reaching that number, but it will increase the suffering. If we don’t start reversing climate change I believe we will try to adapt to it until we reach the limit of our ability to adapt before we perish. If we are lucky, a small fraction of the species will survive long enough for something to be able to change, but I’m talking a really long time.

Let’s get. Together. Katamari on the funk
