a few days ago I did blood work, and had a mild headache the rest of the day; "that's a new side effect" I thought.

it took a few more days to draw the connection that actually the headache was from starting playing Marathon Classic with its old-fashioned ultra narrow FOV

cranked it up from 80 to 95 and i seem to be fine now

being human is so bewildering

How shall the astronomer, who may frankly admit that he cannot conceive that nine tenths of the work with which he occupies himself can ever be of any actual use to anyone, justify himself in devoting his life to it?
I guess when I put it like that, I've lost count of the number of new things in the past few years that I'd describe that way, and this is a far cry from the worst of them..... idk, it's just so unjustifiably crass?? My jaw honestly dropped. Like god knows that individual games are all doing this, but -- Google is just fully, fully, openly mask-off at this point, even to their own end users? They're laying it THAT bare?

like! the idea of an app reminding you of your "streak" is like, barely socially permissible when it's in service of something *objectively good*, like exercise, or practising/learning something; a habit that you *want* to form despite how difficult it is to do so.

encouraging people to stop what they're doing and just Play A Mobile Game, Any Mobile Game? just feels like something out of a cynical "idiocracy"-style satire, that I'd describe as too beyond-the-pale to actually believe???

Holy fuck -- Google (as in The Google Play Store, the built-in app store on all Android devices) just sent me a notification, WITH SOUND, telling me not to lose my "GAMING STREAK"?? As in, that I should stop what I'm doing and play a video game, in order to not risk "my streak"???

This is, like.... just capital-e Evil???

it's so sad that chuck norris died of gandalf the grey and gandalf the white and monty python and the holy grail's black knight, benito mussolini and the blue meanie, cowboy curtis and jambi the genie, robocop, terminator, captain kirk, darth vader, lo pan, superman, every single power ranger, bill s preston and theodore logan, spock, the rock, doc ock and hulk hogan all coming out of nowhere lightning fast and kicking him in his cowboy ass
