You ask for good news to help you feel better and then when I try to offer some you criticize it? You’re certainly not one of the helpers. Mr Rogers would not be proud of you. Go back to doomscrolling then.

Spelunky. My Vita was basically a Spelunky machine.
I got a pair of these when they were on sale for $39 last year, and I liked them so much I bought a second pair for when they bite the dust.
I knew a very smart manager who quit smoking but still used to go hang out in the smoking area just to stay in touch with everything. I’ve learn more in 10 minute conversations while smoking with coworkers than entire week long seminars.
To the Moon has a great story that I still think about to this day. Not much game there, just a few easy puzzles sprinkled in the narrative. But worth it for the story and how it is told.
Metformin. No other changes. Guess the better blood sugar levels make a difference. Still drinking coke and eating whatever I feel like and dropped 10lbs. The only reason I noticed was because my pants kept falling down.
We’d like you to be “agile” by following these very specific and rigid set of rules and procedures.
Any particular ones you recommend?
Brotato as a mindless standby.
Hogwarts Legacy is running pretty damn well, as did Cyberpunk 2077.
It took me a long time. As a kid just read the funny stories that started each chapter, but then got stuck into it while I was in high school. It’s so dense that you can read a chapter and then take weeks to digest it all.

The naive irony of all the Less Wrong people discussing letting the AI out of the box when we all know there won’t be a box at all.
My wife enjoyed watching me play Alan Wake.
It used to be illegal. Part of anti-trust was forcing IP owners to license their technology to everyone at a reasonable price. That means that reddit’s API price gouging would also have been illegal and tesla and apple would have had to license their FSD and OS to other hardware manufacturers. This ability to control other companies through abusive pricing and licensing lock-in is classic monopoly violation that the govt has stopped policing.
Fusion. I think it’s our only hope of making it through climate change without massive losses.
