    Agreed. Personally, my concerns can be summed up in the following 2 questions:

    • Will we ever reach a point where AI and robotics are so advanced that capitalists no longer need workers?
    • Given that they will control everything, what prevents them from hunting us down?

    Personally, I feel like it wasn’t very clear whether sensationalized headlines counted as fake news, so I went ahead with the obvious fake headlines and got 19/20

    Probably not what you’re expecting, but I was really surprised with Tetris effect. It’s just Tetris, yes, but it really puts you in a different state of mind, and is one of my most replayed games...

    The only reason I don’t like them is because I hate to use the stylus to control the characters. It’s just not very intuitive when you also need to constantly use the buttons.

    TBH I don't know if people are using the word as an homophobic slur, so assuming the worst is not too far fetched. And don't get me wrong, I think the chant needs to go. But being realistic it...

    TBH I don't know if people are using the word as an homophobic slur, so assuming the worst is not too far fetched. And don't get me wrong, I think the chant needs to go. But being realistic it seems to me that people are interpreting the punishment as a challenge so they're unfortunately doubling down.

    Mexican here. The word “puto” doesn’t literally mean gay male sex worker, it literally means male sex worker. It does, however, have the gay connotation, so I wish they stopped using it. I know...

    Mexican here. The word “puto” doesn’t literally mean gay male sex worker, it literally means male sex worker. It does, however, have the gay connotation, so I wish they stopped using it. I know it’s just semantics so I totally agree with you.

    I’m not aware of statistics about trans athletes results compared to non-trans, but my theory is that videos of non-trans athletes losing against trans athletes and displaying their disappointment are really effective at forming the public perception.

    I wish Microsoft was more interested in VR. I know it requires a supercomputer to run right, but with some performance optimization it could still be an amazing experience on Xbox. I know MFS2020 has VR support on PC, but Microsoft in general doesn’t seem to care enough, and I understand why, but it’s still a shame.
