journalists love to rag on tiktok and x as vectors of radicalisation, but i really think we have to have a conversation about reddit...
like half of the commonly fed subreddits exist specifically to be entrypoints into right wing radicalisation, and the other half exist to manufacture consent on behalf of the dnc and/or langley.
was kinda always like this, but it's been so dreadful since llms became good enough to just slop the whole website.
Games don't often deal with a sense of scale, because travel is boring and not engaging, but I do think there's something of the experience of moving through a vast place that games end up missing out on. We're certainly capable of making games with vast worlds where it takes hours to get from one place to another, and I don't know, it might be nice to have a game where taking a train ride takes a half hour where you pass through different towns and villages, where a country feels like an actual country that's filled with people and farmlands instead of just a city with twenty guys in it, and a single farm that's apparently keeping those twenty guys fed.
I was thinking about this because I was playing Minecraft with my son, and while Minecraft has "mountains" I kept thinking about how tiny everything is when compared to the real world, and whether there might be something to a game that had actual mountains, where you used carts on tracks and automation because to not do so would waste literal hours of your life.
It would be of very limited appeal, there's a reason that people don't make games like this, but I think I'd appreciate it as a one-time thing.
My one major problem with Satisfactory has been that both trains and truck paths have been miserable to set up, and the whole game is designed around the assumption that you'll pick at least one of those

Referring to someone as your “partner” sounds as if you are deliberately obscuring their gender and may subtly out you. “My ex”, however, is entirely unobtrusively gender-neutral. #breakupallrelationships

If anyone needs further evidence that you can't self-optimize your way out of or prevent disability: apparently Bryan Johnson, who spends millions on his health, has developed an incurable automimmune disease:
Immortality obsessed tech investor Bryan Johnson reveals he was recently diagnosed with an incurable disease.
Last week, the longevity-obsessed tech investor revealed that he had been diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease in which his “stomach is eating itself.”
But, true to his mission, Johnson believes he can biohack his way out of this gut-punch, too. “I’m going to try and solve it,” he wrote on X. “Will share all.”
The disease Johnson says he was diagnosed with is autoimmune gastritis, a condition in which the immune system’s antibodies go rogue and start attacking stomach cells. It often manifests without noticeable symptoms, and can lead to cancer.
This is what internalized ableism does to people. You spend all your life believing that you can't become disabled because you spend so much money & time on your health, trying every possible treatment, supplement, product you can get your hands on — and in the end, the stress from living like that is likely to actually contribute to you developing a disabling illness, and it will have all been for worse than nothing.
i really need to stop using the explore tab because tumblr keeps putting posts there that blame every absence of women and minorities on sexism and racism and holding my tounge is something i am notoriously bad at
like, there *could* be selection bias for how speedrunning tournaments are all men, but it seems far more likely that women aren't *as* interested in going as fast as possible in video games, or at least not in a publicly competitive way. do you know of any?
yeah this is a terrible thing, and it's also like really damaging because "if there is not perfect representation as determined by The People Who Like Representation, it is presumed you are intentionally Doing A Racism" is the official stance of the law in the US. it's crazy.
the FAA air traffic controller scandal was entirely due to this. black people just did not apply to be ATC operators. if they accepted every single black person who applied, they still would not have enough black people to not be judged as Intentionally Doing A Racism, so they had to intentionally lower the supply of ATC operators just so the percentage of them that was black would be higher. nobody noticed this was insane.
when you look at the communities or fields that have a Good Ratio of minorities, zero of them ever do it by the means that progressives demand. Capcom and Midway and SNK did not do anything in particular to intentionally make fighting games more welcoming to black people, and black people fucking love fighting games. Japanese anime studios didn't do anything to intentionally make anime more welcoming to Latinos, and Latinos fucking love anime. Nail salons are almost entirely Vietnamese and Jews do a lot of work in finance.
the fact of the matter is that members of An Identity Class usually hang out with members of the same Identity and you pick up interests from people you hang out with. a bunch of Vietnamese refugees got taught how to do manicures and pedicures by Dusty Coots in the 70s, and they ran nail salons with that knowledge, and then the people they hung out with were mostly Vietnamese and those people were like "huh, nail salon, that's a thing I can do," and you knew people who could train you how to do it. other ethnicities could have done that -- Dusty Coots learned it from somewhere -- but it's not really on the radar.
Jewish people historically did finance because they were some of the only people in the world who didn't erupt into a blood rage at the concept of an interest-bearing loan. so they had a culture of being good at it, and if you hang out with Jewish people all the time you probably know a lot of guys in finance and have several family members in it so when you're thinking about what you wanna do "finance" is one of the first things that comes to mind, you know people who can get you a position somewhere and you know that it's a nice living to make. other ethnicities do it too but non-Jewish people probably don't have nearly as many acquaintances in finance.
Latin American countries did not have a big TV industry in the 80s and 90s with a bunch of original Spanish or Portuguese-language programs, but Japanese anime was cheap to license and easy to dub so a bunch of Latinos grew up watching anime, and now if you hang out with Latinos you know a lot of guys who want you to watch Naruto and Dragonball because they think they're super cool.
In the 1990s, arcades were far more profitable in high-density urban areas and high-density urban areas have a lot more black people in them. fighting games were the main draw of arcades because Internet matchmaking didn't exist, ports to home consoles were always much worse quality, and their main draw was player-vs-player (good at a place where a bunch of people meet up) rather than player-vs-CPU (can do that at home). so a bunch of black people really got into Street Fighter II, and if you hang out with black people, you probably know a disproportionately large number of people who love fighting games and have fun with them and want to play against you.
sewing and quilting were economically vital but less physically taxing tasks that don't require a lot of movement, so traditionally women did them in the house while looking after the kids. and if you're a girl you hung out more with your mother even after this division of labor wasn't necessary. now that it;s no longer a necessity in any household, the people who still do it as a hobby are people who like doing it, and if you're a woman you hang out with other women who are themselves more likely to have found out they enjoy quilting and knitting and so on.
all of these things are historically contingent reasons + people generally hanging out with members of their own Identity. none of these things are an effort to make something More Inclusive.
autistic nerds loved Dungeons and Dragons because in the 1970s and 80s, fantasy in general was seen as far more nerdy than it is now, it required a far smaller but far more dedicated group of people than other hobbies, and it had lots and lots of delicious charts to pore over. and the guy who invented it was white so he mostly hung out with other white nerds. so if you were a white nerd it was more likely you knew people who played dungeons and dragons who wanted you to play with them and clearly had fun with it. they're not the unique outlier here who are singularly hostile to minorities, it's the same process as everywhere else.

I sort of want to play a game where you're a hiring manager, trying to weed through applicants to find the perfect person for a position, though I don't entirely know how you'd gamify it. In a lot of management games, you see all the perks, buffs, and debuffs your employees have right away, but maybe there's a fun version of this where you find out their quirks and flaws as they work for you, and sometimes you have make a choice whether to let someone go or silo them off from others.
Maybe this is my dream SCP game, where you're corralling unethical doctors, psychopathic guards, people who are inducted because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, etc., attempting to make the best of a bad situation when it comes to hiring people onto the project.
A lot of people mention that Outer Wilds is an amazing game that is best experienced completely blind but then don't try to elaborate on that. I will elaborate on it while still not spoiling it.
Let's start with why exactly spoilers matter for this game. I am someone who normally doesn't care too much about getting spoiled and can even build anticipation and interest from hearing story spoilers, but there are a couple of areas where I think spoilers definitely matter even for me: Exploration and Mystery.
Outer Wilds is an open world mystery platformer that not only focuses heavily on exploration and mystery, it is easily in the top tier of games I have played for both elements. The system you explore in the game is immaculately crafted and dense, and it quickly introduces several enigmatic things for you to pursue with layered clues that have you venturing around very unique places so you can discover both clues to how to find other clues and also piece together the greater story.
And, notably, the game does not gate your progress by making you accumulate objects or reward progression with items. The one currency you accumulate as you play is knowledge. You have every tool you will ever need from the moment you complete the "tutorial", but there is a lot of information you don't yet have that will be necessary to progress.
(But something else that's pretty cool is that the game is truly open. You can explore any planet or space structure you wish as soon as you launch for the first time, so you can discover clues out of order or even solve certain puzzles without finding the clues for them by getting lucky, experimenting for a while, or being particularly observant).
This is why going in blind matters here. Spoilers for Outer Wilds don't merely ruin a surprise twist, they change how you experience the game on a very fundamental level and somewhat play it for you. This is also why that first playthrough is so different from any subsequent ones, to a much greater degree than with most other games.
The game's objectives are all tied to your own curiosity. You notice strange or interesting things, you feel curious about what is going on with them, you investigate, and your curiosity is both rewarded and expanded. It's pure joy for the part of you that loves to explore and discover.
I know for some people it might be daunting to be thrown into a star system with a handful of (small but dense) planets plus several other objects to look at with no clear objectives, but just give it an hour and you'll probably find your own way, especially if you paid attention at the museum in your home planet.
Also, while the game does not have realistic physics its setting does follow a consistent set of rules you can learn through experimentation, observation, and learning about the discoveries other characters have made. Mastering these laws feels very rewarding and they are also intimately connected to the core questions of the game. It's very well thought out.
