Too weird to live, too rare to die. I created Sagexpo.org a long time ago, dabbling in game development for 20+ years. They used to pay me to write. People seem to like my Youtube videos.

I'm gonna be real with you: so I streamed my first time with Tears of the Kingdom, yeah? I've wanted to do a second stream for a while now where I get to reveal the fact I put 100 hours into the game but never advanced the story past where we left off on stream.
Mamoru Oshii, the director of legendary anime movie Ghost in the Shell, has said that he's played Fallout 4 for 10,000 hours while avoiding its main quest. https://bit.ly/4aud4Hh

Chinese GF has informed me this is called "scrubbing the wok" (hence why there's foamy water in the middle) and you can see a million more of these videos if you search 越野刷鍋 (off-road hot pot).

I’ve seen this thing crop up with people who are wildly successful
It’s not always (or even often) eugenics - sometimes it’s about auras, reincarnations, determination, kindness of spirit, inherited intelligence, whatever
If you get lucky and make it big, you always want to believe you earned it

Evil men like Epstein are, in the simplest form, obsessed with eugenics because they believe that their ill-gotten gains are the product of some innate superiority.
Epstein couldn't stop emailing people about eugenics
In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

This reminds me so much of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, who when quizzed about why he took a story in a certain direction usually answers along the lines of, “Because I wanted to draw [insert thing he wanted to draw].”

This uhhh really sounds like it's the YouTube solution, "an invisible, unaccountable AI will decide whether to demote you from adult* privileges", which is kind of the worst possible solution in the world

Sometimes it hits me how far reaching some TSSZ things could be. Browsing through Sonic Unleashed concept art now, I stopped and saw this tucked inside. This is the article badge I made for TSSZ's coverage of CEDEC in 2008. Which means many of these probably came from TSSZ's article, that I wrote

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship.
Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

I heard once (and only once) that, allegedly, it was Dave Halverson himself that dosed the coffee with LSD. The same Dave Halverson that gave Sonic 2006 a 9/10 score. The same Dave Halverson that openly shit-talked his colleagues for being bad at games (mainly ones he was overscoring, like Sonic 06)
It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident.
In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot
The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

"It works entirely client-side, by design" sounds like something that can be hacked around, too.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
