this season on Black Mirror, we re-write the first episode of Torchwood (the one where they briefly reanimate dead people to ask them how they died)

I guess it's the Always-On DRM that's the issue. Best get rid of that entirely, or force developers to disclose IN LARGE PRINT if a game has it, like they did with parental warning stickers in the late 1980's. And I mean FORCE, as in "you can't be on Steam/whatever because you have unnecessary DRM"
I can still play World Of Goo any time I damn well choose because I paid for it and I own it and the developers were probably not inherently evil humans.
did 1983 predict the rise of "catalog shopping"? because I sure didn't :)

beg pardon for upcoming language where I try to tell you what to think, it comes from a positive place.
friend, don't ever let the attitudes of others make you feel like you're "lesser."
Let me tell you about one of the most wonderfully boring things I've ever seen. One of the most powerful displays of belonging was at my first Pride parade, oh wow this was ages ago. I didn't notice the name of the group, I'm sure they had a banner, but it just looked like a bunch of regular people walking in the middle of a parade. All I could think at the time was "where is the colourful clothing? why are they not dancing? Where is the outrage? where is the joy?" I didn't see anything that would make me judge them as being worthy of being in a pride parade. Fuck just writing it makes me realize how stupid I was :) Spoiler: They were in the pride parade because they were all queer. Pick a letter, that was them. And they all looked totally normal, and they didn't dance and sing and turn themselves about. Because that was the kind of queer they were.
if you're "too old" you still matter. If you're "too boring" you still matter. You are not unworthy.
rather than uninstalling adblockers entirely, can't they just whitelist YouTube? Ad Trackers only have value when they track people across multiple sites: if the tracker only functions on YT then users get the video views they want and YT gets near-worthless tracking data.
I look forward to protests where people dress like characters in The Handmaid's Tale.
