The Spanish government is now petitioning its public for ideas on how to waste power.

In the video game “Arcade Paradise”, your grubby father has you run a laundromat that you slowly convert to an arcade. It’s a pretty fun idea. And, you get to play on the machines!

Eating and drinking on set is notoriously difficult to pull off. You see one take, but the crew has done about 17 takes of the same scene. Even with chefs on hand, they can’t bloat the actors up with food. Hence why in most dinner scenes, there’s a lot of cutting and mocked chewing but little goes in their mouth.

Might be fun to have fiction that exposes this stuff - that giving coy, five-word responses to concerns of the organization doesn’t actually make someone a good leader.

Time to make a video complaining that no one has ever granted me the ability to turn water into vodka.

Still wish to see more of a rise of kangatarianism. Basically, starts in Australia, where the land has an overpopulation of kangaroos. You only eat their meat, helping the ecosystem equalize. There are similar species in America that we have way too many of in the wild.

To be clear, this practice couldn’t sustain for decades of popularity, but it would mean people don’t have to give up meat as a whole, while we continue to research tastier alternatives.

The third item, while it fits the narrative, was a quote directed more towards the option of subscription services. It wasn’t really directed to gamers, but to shareholders to explain low Ubisoft+ numbers, basically saying people may need time to warm up to the idea.

Considering how many interesting indies I’ve played on Game Pass (and, ever since Tango was murdered, PS+) I think there’s merit to that (just not on Ubisoft’s platform). There’s probably dozens of old PS1 classics we never would have tried out if our local Blockbuster hadn’t had them available for rent. I mean heck, $60 was a LOT back then for those polygons.

Felt this with MGS4.

Ending: You’ve been going too long, Snake - given too much. Quit smoking. Live your life. Don’t look back. Don’t turn out like me.

$15 of coffee, and then I turn into Barry Allen, sneak into the kitchen and steal all the rest of it.

Most browsers are now “sleeping” tabs so it’s only saving the URL, and not any of the data/objects on it. It’s kind of necessary given that modern websites adware has the system requirements of Crysis.

I get irritated anytime a store sells me a dry churro and nothing to go with it. It makes no sense…

I feel like a lot of the puzzles in Professor Layton games are like this. Any time you find yourself starting some complex algebra or multiplication, you need to consider rereading the problem and seeing if you just need to pick a number that’s there.

For example: A bus can travel 100 miles on a full tank with its full passenger load of 80 people. If everyone gets off the bus, then how far can it travel?

On this topic, I just emptied out an old garbage bin and saw a live snail for the first time in several decades.

I think I only ever noticed them when playing in the yard as a kid…

You need to bring a starfish from the beach when you go

For added cost savings, boil laundry in the same pot to sanitize it without detergent.

(Can’t wait for Google AI to start echoing this advice to people)

Funny thing is, I have so much stuff in OneDrive now, it has made transitioning from my PC to another temporary/permanent environment much easier. So…they might actually be helping me move to Linux.

Ah, yes. Windows 11 is better because since 11 came out MS made 10 worse.

Can anyone here name many P2W games? The closest I can think of is hero-based games like R6Siege, where it’s relatively cheap to get the new, generally-balanced characters, but most monetization is in skins.
