  • Uh… gamers are the so weak, they buy anything that’s shiny enough. Games by big studios pushing out shiny crap still make millions. Gamers can’t stop buying skins and will have wars about them too. EA, Blizzard, RockStar Games, Ubisoft, and many other companies are still huge companies because gamers barely care. Only once in a while do they massively reject large games.

    Only about 1.2M EU gamers even cared to sign in the EU initiative to Stop Killing Games. There are 450M EU citizens. There are way more EU gamers than just 1.2M and the vast majority didn’t care enough to sign an initiative in their own interest.

    RAM makers are safe. Gamers will just give in and pay 3k+ for a gaming rig with welded on RAM (or whatever shit it is crApple does to make their devices unupgradeable).



  • Anything that puts a layer between your skin and the sun and car exhaust, probably more helpful than harmful.

    That definitely isn’t true. Acid puts a layer between you and the sun and isn’t good for your skin. There are creams that dry your skin leading to cracks and death of certain healthy bacteria on your skin. The cracks can expose your body to fungi and dangerous bacteria. Things like mixing suncream and anti-mosquito spray can lead to serious rashes and skin irritation. Creams can also have a low SPF and damaging effects to the skin, giving you a false sense of security while destroying your skin even more.












  • spoilers ahead

    I really thought it was going to explore more of the connection, show what humans are able to do with all the knowledge shared across billions, maybe have a main character that’s cynical but not just wanting for things to go back to the way they were for no good reason and just hating everyone and everything - except it they have long legs and are their sexual fantasy.
    Imagine starting to research the construction of a spaceship and then suddenly connecting with an unexpected other species on earth e.g mice, pigs, dolphins, whales, etc. and having to figure out what to do then. The virus obviously infected mice and they were intelligent enough to infect humans.

    The way they “accelerated their plan” after being discovered and suddenly the entire world simultaneously gets turned also just didn’t make sense. They could’ve even explored that aspect a little but it was just a deux ex machina. Her wife/girlfriend/whatever dying was also unnecessary for the plot. The protagonist was already hating everybody. The wife’s survival wouldn’t have changed anything in that regard. Instead we got to watch her scream, moan, and whine for 3 or so episodes. I clocked out once the dude started his trek.

    IMO, they could’ve done so much more.
