@_TinMan_ The tendency of the general population to intellectually lazy feeds these news bite single angle stories that a lot of the media reports

Being well informed with a broad view of context for current issues takes time and effort and goes against the instinct of people to boil things down to overly simplified talking points

@socialskeleton Yes yes yes my brother.

And stay away from squats. That's the devil's fitness.

@cinnamonvector I actually played this one on Microsoft's Gamepass. Normally I wouldn't taken a chance by spending money separately on it but it looked interesting and was included so I tried it out.

The story and atmosphere were very engrossing. And the unique gameplay was icing on the top. Just long enough to keep it interesting without dragging on.

Three thumbs up from me for that game.

@robofaerie I can sympathize.

A 'mid-range' phone in the US is $400. For a large segment of the population that's still a significant investment.
