There’s evidence to suggest that the widespread availability of ROMs for the DS was part of its phenomenal success. It’s certainly the case that the most pirated platforms are always the most successful, from the Speccy onward. (The 3DS, which took an awful lot longer to crack, sold half as many units.) And more…

Also, all of the Noble Team NPCs take their helmets off throughout the game’s cutscenes so...

Joke’s on her, she went to Red Robin.

Meanwhile absolutely horrible people who’re completely serious remains untouched by any media platforms

Yeah except you’re neither a journalist writing an opinion piece, a meditation expert, a sociologist or a psychologist with data on the benefits of gamification though. You’re just douchy. Your comment was disparaging and added nothing to anything.

What is wrong with thinking about waiting through the lens of a game? Those other activities are fine, and I’ve done all of them at least once, but that wouldn’t preclude me from learning something new from a book, a game, or any other new experience.

Your point would have been much better received if you could have delivered it with a bunch of insults and a shitty attitude. Maybe try not to be a dick next time you try and share thoughts about how people should live their lives.

Why on earth would you think this is about needing to be “taught” something....?

If I created an unnatural sea, a massive horizon spanning structure of spinning microplates that created an illusion of a strange tide changing between metallic brilliance and multicolor radiance, the spinning sound creating a strange oceanic roar, would it be fair to say to someone stating “It’s peaceful, there’s…

Says “People can do what they want and we are all free to judge them for it.”

You’re so cool. 

You can clean things without using the harshest chemicals possible. All I’m saying.

Actually, I’m correctly assuming most people confuse alcohol-based disinfectants with triclosan-based disinfectants. But yes, antibiotics being prescribed when they aren’t necessary contributes to the same problem.

Maybe, except for their last sentence about washing hands three times a day. That is way way too few times a day. We need to wash our hands whenever necessary (e.g. after coming home, before, during and after meal preparation, before eating, before and after touching our mucous membranes, after touching an animal,…

The author doesn’t specify alcohol-based cleaners, and a troubling number of people show a preference to triclosan-based cleaners due to the bigger list of “things it kills” on the label. People, as a whole, tend to tune out when you get into specifics, so it’s a lot more effective to just advise them to wash their…

We should all be bringing antibacterial wipes to give our space a wipe down in general, not just while there’s a virus spreading the world.

I wonder whether people thought the same thing / resort to the same judgement about grieving with photograph when it was totally new technology way back when.
