I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast?
The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

Capitalists dont get excited about technology they are excited about the profits that technology brings. The main group of people that are truly excited about the advancement technology can bring human well being and its capacity to remove or reduce certain difficult tasks are socialists

It is wild that the worlds most used OS has a broken search function. How can a computer not show you what’s in its memory? It’s been fucked up for over 10 years!
However, Microsoft will keep track of what YOU search.
Why. Why did the world accept this

I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry:
Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production.
Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.

This anime is a creation of someone who actually survived a nuclear bomb.
If you think nuclear war isn’t a big deal have a look. For everyone else who knows this would be the fate of humanity, don’t watch.
