FWIW, showrunner Charlie Brooker says that the starting point for every episode is finding an idea he thinks is funny

I mostly watch YouTube videos after the fact when I’ve got a bit of time to dedicate. ShouJo doing something Kaizo is always my highlight

I never fail to be amazed how much money these events raise. I think they’re awesome, but I really wouldn’t have thought that speedrunning of all things was popular enough to raise millions a year for charity

Don’t quote me on this, but I think this guy was one of the people who went to the Arctic to see a 24 hour sunny day and actually accepted the evidence

Also, what you’re doing now will have an effect a decade or more down the road

That’s also why they rearrange things - not to optimise the layout, but because they hope people will impulse-buy things while looking for the things which have moved

There’s a game I’ve seen a lot of YouTubers starting to play over the last week or two that looks a lot of fun - Mecca Chameleon
Online multiplayer. One person is hunter, others are hiders. The twist is that you can paint your character. So you find a hiding spot, and then paint yourself to blend in to your surroundings
I don’t know if it’s what you’re after, but it looks like a lot of fun

We can, at least, identify her exactly in the film, as she celebrates her 23rd birthday
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t mind the non-levelling quests so much but, for example, it takes zero time to become the Archmage of Winterhold, but then every magical person outside the college still treats you like a novice who can barely be trusted with a fetch quest. It’s a little immersion-breaking in both directions

I can give you older and with worse tech - Morrowind is better than Skyrim
- Comment on "Farms use more water than Al data centers" OK, I'll go without Al and you can go without food and we'll see who lasts longer 4 weeks ago:
Do farms collectively use more water than data centres collectively, or does the average farm use more water than the average data centre?

Same as the beam of water, but on a much bigger scale and with the curve being much smaller because the things being emitted are so much faster
- Comment on wat 1 month ago:
Think of it like a hosepipe. You’re on the lawn with s long stream of water coming out of the hose. If you flick it quickly it doesn’t stay in a straight line. The beam of water curves as you move.
Because the beam of water isn’t an object. It’s a stream of particles which are constantly being emitted from the tip of the hose
Same thing with a laser beam. It’s a stream of photons being emitted from the laser. If you flick the laser, the photons which have already been emitted will continue in a straight line. Any which are emitted during the flick will head off in a straight line in the direction the laser was pointed. End result:a curved beam

Enid Blyton used it a surprising amount. But she was also considered old-fashioned and racist by critics at the time, so…

I love my niblings. My world is an immeasurably better place with them in it. They bring me a lot of joy
I do not want kids of my own and am very glad that i never had any

Rene Descartes walks into a fish & chip shop and says “haddock & chips, please”
“You want salt and vinegar with that?” The shopkeeper asks
“I think not,” says Rene, and vanishes

- Comment on Recent conversations between Dawkins and sentient chat-bot Claudia (Claude) 1 month ago:
There’s definitely a minority of people who are of the opinion that he was always a grifter, but just because a lot of people agreed with him they didn’t examine what he said too closely. For example, his takedown of Mother Theresa is full of inaccuracies and lies, but still commonly gets cited as if it’s gospel

Do you not think there’s been an escalation in recent years? There are literal concentration camps in the US right now, and more being built as we speak
- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 2 months ago:
Not doing nothing! Rotating up and overthrowing capitalism. How, you ask? You know, rising up! What practical plan is there for afterwards? Plenty of time to figure that out later!

Can’t remember the rest. I feel like Y should be really obvious, but I’ve not even thought about this since I was a kid

What I’m saying is that record sales have been unprofitable for artists for a long time, so Spotify hasn’t really moved the needle on that point
- Comment on Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time 2 months ago:
Metaprogression is the same, in many cases. You don’t advance because your skill is increasing or because you’ve accomplished anything, it’s essentially “you’ve played for x amount of time, we’re going to create the illusion of progression by allowing you to upgrade your stats”
