Had the opportunity to throw some time at the FF7 Rebirth on my friend’s PS5. I’ll have to wait until June before I can expect to see it on PC, but its been a lot of fun to date. Eager to see more of it.
Meanwhile, Unicorn Overlord on the Switch has been a great travel game.
Seems like it’s the only way anyone knows how to make money anymore
War is always just the prelude to diplomacy. Gotta wonder how many more people will die before talking starts.
We will be more like China
We won’t be like China. We’ll be more insulated and divorced from Chinese media, culture, and conversation.
That’s the stated end goal. Bringing up sharp walls between nationalities in order to control the flow of information between people.
If we keep TikTok open, we risk exposing American young people to Chinese norms, ideals, and social standards. We might even be exposed directly to Chinese mass media (ie, propaganda).
This is a real security risk, as it raises a possibility that younger Americans won’t accept American mass media at face value.
Indian Muslims generally
Othering 172M residents in a country prone to fractious internal conflicts and with large nuclear armed majority Muslim neighbors next door?
What could possibly go wrong?
Nintendo gets to do this (the Yuzu shit) because so many other developers have stopped making anything except slot machines.
Behold, the unlimited power of a fully nationalized war time economy.

I doubt they’ll look much harder than
You are betting on racism over competence of the police force if you do that.
In my experience, it’s been a safe bet

There’s definitely truth in this. But also…

Make “speeches” – Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your ‘points’ by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
Slow it down – advocate caution, avoid haste
Where possible refer all matters to committees (never fewer than five) for “consideration”
Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

Fiji Brand Chickpea (not from Fiji and technically not a chickpea but does somehow both ruthlessly exploit foreign laborers and generate ten times its weight in carbon emissions; promises to cure cancer)
A single novelty supersized chickpea that sits in a display case and never actually gets sold but kids love to look at.
In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently.
The first new nuclear plants since Three Mile Island just came online in Georgia last year. Vogtle 3 and 4 will produce a combined 1.2 GWe at peak capacity.
These reactors took 16 years and multiple bailouts and bankruptcies to complete, costing an estimated $34B to finish.
Hopefully, future power construction will move a little smoother.
As a comparison, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant took ten years to complete at the cost of around $7.5B and it has a peak generation of 3.3 GWe
Well, that’s annoying.

Everyone who wants to give your lives for a 3 year long mistake, please take a step forward.
Well, it looks like everyone took a step backwards but you, Private Luckless, so pick up your rifle and follow me into the meatgrinder room.
