Found GLORY in your kids’ Skittles.

Yeah. Valve invented most of the attention direction techniques for Half-life (light, motion, etc, etc.) Trailblazers.

“Let’s give them lots of player freedom this time!”

Play testers continually don’t look at a set piece vista the developers and artists spent 400 hours creating.

“Well, that’s enough of that. Back to the rails.”

Unfortunately, we’re at a point where any attempt to fix media directly will be met with push-back by those very same people - we see this happening RIGHT now. They are weaponized and can be turned on any outlet that DARES try to speak the truth.

These people are now an army and bad actors will NOT willfully give them up. You have to assume the worst… that any attempt to fix the system will necessarily involve confrontation with them, and more we can reduce their numbers or limit their reach the easier that will become.

Treating them lightly with kid gloves will only encourage more people to join their ideologies, and it’s not a matter of hovering around 50%, there’s a tipping point. The moment there are visibly more people on the side of lies and fascism, a huge chunk of people who simply want to fit in or be on the winning side will simply change sides. Fascism and populism are diseases, and like any disease, it’s tragic that they’re sick, but you first and foremost have to contain it and stop it from spreading. THEN you can start worrying about their well-being once they are no longer a threat.

Things are different now as the educational system is being intentionally damaged, but every single child who grew up in America between the ages of 10 and 80 was raised in an educational environment that taught them in no uncertain terms ALL of the warning signs of fascism and manipulation - these haven’t changed in hundreds of years. They are either willfully ignoring them or spent their years in school eating paint instead of internalizing anything.

It’s totally reasonable to recognize they’re victims. It’s also reasonable to recognize that in most cases, they made themselves that way.

Why does it have to be either or? It’s totally reasonable to blame BOTH.

Make no mistake… those people are clowns too.

Not that I think this isn’t hilarious, but to quote Trump’s own idiotic ramblings, “Nobody knows what an app is.” His redneck supporters that don’t trust such fancy lib’ral scams as “mail” and “locked drop boxes” sure aren’t going to understand using an app to book a seat in a movie theater.

Half the training is shooting the bow.

The other half is burying the intrusive thoughts.

How many bad forms of transportation do you think he has to saddle the world with to sate his ego about the hyperloop turning out to be a totally unworkable lie?

I honestly feel bad for Robert Picardo. He must’ve had such horrible back pain from carrying that entire show by himself for 3 seasons.

We hit the bad timeline when we missed the eugenics wars.

I don’t get your point… are you suggesting NOT mind-melding is unethical?

Because it IS dangerous. Trek lore has established that mind melds carry the risk of neurological damage, emotional overload, and Panar Syndrome in the melder.

And even if all of those risks are mitigated, mind-melds are incredibly personal and Vulcans don’t engage in them flippantly.

Ariel has her voice? What’d she trade for legs in this universe?

Yeah, but most of those layoffs have been in traditional studios making traditional pay games, not GAS studios.

Ken M, is that you?
