Basically. There’s a mostly linear plot with some diverging narrative choices that affect outcomes. There’s some sort of mystery element, you gather up information/clues/resources, and most of the games have some sort of superpower gimmick that you use to explore the world and story (e.g. rewinding time, telekinesis, aura reading).

The games are like an old point and click adventure, but without the pointing and clicking. Or the adventure. If that makes sense.

Just like how Biden failed to prevent the spread of COVID in 2020.

And yet a lot of kids are entering the workforce today not knowing how to use a computer mouse or what a web browser is.

A lot, TBH. The walled garden is everything in tech these days. When you control the platform and make it hard to leave, you control the flow of information.

He’s not even up for reelection for another four years, chill.

Yeah but he still accepted half a million dollars in funding from AIPAC, so he could do a lot better.

This is just based on long, distant memories, but I think you can actually fish up the bomb fish and get water bombs from them.

Never use the snooze feature, it just makes you take longer to wake up. If you feel like you need the extra half hour of sleep, just go to bed 30 minutes earlier, or set your one and only alarm to your snooze offset time.

Screens are actually stimulating and can help wake you up. Whether extra screen time aligns with one’s personal philosophy is up to them, but better to have screens in the morning when you’re trying to wake up than at night when you’re trying to go to sleep.

As noted, a shower in the morning will also help wake you up. Even if you take a bath the night before, it can help just to do a quick rinse in the shower (don’t need to do your full cleaning routine if you don’t want to). Bonus that you can wash off some of the night sweat that everyone gets (even if you think you don’t).

Expansionist? They’re a small island nation. There’s nowhere to expand.

First Amazon, then Oracle, now Meta. All heavily invested in AI.

By “the FBI scanned”, they probably mean “We told Kash Patel that there was a six pack of Miller hidden somewhere in the plane and let him have at it.”

KeePassXC is the best FOSS option, but you’ll need to figure out self hosting if you want to sync the database between devices.

I’m still a bit skeptical, if only because the Steam Frame still won’t solve the issues a lot of people have about limited space to use VR, the associated cost, and just VR’s overall utility.

The current economy sucks, a lot of folks can’t afford more than one or two dedicated gaming devices, and VR is a hard sell when PC and handheld gaming will always get preference. It’s not dead and it won’t be going anywhere, but I don’t see it evolving out of “niche” status anytime soon.
