Moral panic is unrelated to games having addictive elements.

A better comparison would be how retro games would be designed for you to die/lose over and over because they were based on arcade dynamics, where the customer has to keep putting in quarters to continue playing.

It’s no substitution, but for anybody who can afford $25 here or there, maybe consider giving micro loans. I use kiva.org. Over the years, I’ve lost maybe $5 or so through currency exchange rates changing, while I’ve helped a good few people/communities.

That sure is some tabloid-style headline.

It’s going to be hard for future historians to write about our times because there will just be too many sources.

I doubt you’d be very happy to be incarcerated in El Salvador or Libya.

Oh look, more first amendment violations.

I would say that most retro games can be enjoyed by a 5-year-old (having once upon a time been a 5-year-old playing some of them myself), but the first one that comes to mind is Donkey Kong Country.

Not much of an article.

God, I hate these fucking people. Anything positive is always in their crosshairs.

I don’t know how it’s not always being pointed out that the island of Taiwan was never a part of China.

If you think that protests have never been productive, you need to read up on history.

What a coward. Start a war and leave your countrymen to suffer the fallout.

I suspect they know that.

I appreciate your optimism.

I wish more people agreed.

I have a pretty small social circle, but they are all very progressive, very against what is going on right now. Still, I am the only one planning to go to a No Kings protest. I’m the only one who went to the Hands Off protest. It’s not encouraging.

He definitely can. We just don’t know if he will. Probably not anytime soon.

Meat’s better.
