Artificial sugar still causes an insulin response. Better stick with the vinegared lead.

I’ve failed at getting into any Battle Royale, Survival, or Extraction type game so far.

As part of the industrialized lifestyles, could it be the consumption of industrialized foods? Our bodies likely cannot deal with the externalities of industrial farming. Ultraprocessed foods such as industrially refined oils are entirely novel.

It doesn’t seem like such a stretch that human bodies then respond with inflammation to try to remove the unfamiliar, to me.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted for providing good advice about avoiding media bias.

Everyone who lives here plays video games all day and our healthcare isn’t even completely free, the burden is just shared by nationalization. Video games are such a menace to society!

Can’t pick just one so here’re a couple.

“Crypto” used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. “AI”, referring only to LLMs. “Research”, referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase “do your own research” that’s being bandied around in some communities.

If you live in an authoritarian system, it’s not just the government you’re worried about.

Why not just have a cap? 90% still means that they can further accumulate wealth, and taxes means they will try to dodge them.

This is a bad thing unless the digital currency is also privacy preserving.

VPNs are already illegal in China!

This is where you’d normally go “there must be a better way…”

The water isn’t flouridated where I live. There is no particularly remarkable incidence of dental caries in children attributed to the lack of fluoride in drinking water. It might be good in places that are less developed or have poorer access to fluoridated toothpaste.

Unfortunately, having so much wealth means they can buy the people who decide who gets charged.

They really are saying anything just to draw attention to their product, aren’t they? Gotta feed the hype for the bubble.

Stellar Blade is a good game.

Also worth mentioning that I learned from this video that Shift Up removed the Playstation region lock that caused the Helldivers 2 controversy universally, so they get kudos from me.

DirectStorage is not good on Linux, at least for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Some anti cheat work better than others, and it depends on how much you’d like to play the game that needs it. Plenty of games without.

EAC does not hide its process and you can see it running. If it’s not, perhaps it has left files behind, but that’s a Windows issue more than EAC’s.

there’s no way for users to reliably remove it

I’m not sure if this is true for the ones backed by the larger companies, like EAC. It’s possible to completely remove EAC using their installer.

Games like valorant are filled with cheaters despite using kernel anticheat

In my experience, this is untrue. Valorant isn’t “filled” with cheaters in the same way Apex Legends is.

Lots of other games to play.

Transmission of energy requires… energy. Furthermore tiny antennas mean a high frequency, which don’t transmit a long way. Not sure we’re breaking the laws of physics any time soon, even ignoring energy density limits.
