I'm not at all saying that addiction is due to rebellion, or really anything about addiction, just that making drugs illegal makes drug use an appealing way to rebel for a group of people that is probably one of the most vulnerable to

If you have mpv and youtube-dl, you can just `mpv http://youtube.com/whatever` and it'll play. Much better performance than anything in browser from my experience. I just have a keybinding for `mpv $(xsel -o)` which pl

While I more or less agree with you, and there's nothing wrong with graphical fidelity in itself, I think the argument is more one of priorities. If you have 6 months to build a game, do you spend 3 on graphics and 3 on gameplay or do
