Though clearly imperfect video games have, at times, managed to reflect some of these principles. There was a brief moment at the peak popularity of World of Warcraft when the game was highly moddable -- if you walked up to a stranger'

The obituary they run in the back of The Economist is an excellent place to start.

There are tons of golf carts on the road where I live so there appears to be a spectrum of use cases and ranges that people will tolerate.

I always imagined a system like this could be used for a larger community to self-regulate/moderate. Moderating would be a requirement of membership -- sort of like mandatory military service. So everyone is invested in creating a good

I turned off a ton of the effects in Balatro. That helped. Some games don't give you half the options you should. I guess this push towards accessibility across the board would help here.

There's an animation in Sea of Thieves when you're digging for treasure that kills me. It is this huge up and down swing of the camera.

I have found that third-person games that involve a lot of looking up and down -- largely anything with crafting/building or picking up loot -- really hurts me. On the other hand Death Stranding worked great -- largely because you don&

I'm gonna say start with Blue Velvet. It still has the backbone of a classical noir, but it is completely run through with the character of his work. Mulholland Drive reflects the apex of his vision and talents, but there's a lear

I think you can put the point to even the least tech savvy that the group chat is maybe the best iteration of the social internet. Because the groups are small, self moderated and independent. I guess the irony is that it relies on tech is&

Let's not forget you can charge a mint to replace the half-assed Ipad you have jammed into the dashboard when it goes bad.

These are great. I am thinking when we look back on the 21st Century one of the major artistic movements will be artists delving into the lives of everyday, working-class, non-college educated people. Lynch, clearly was ahead of the curve o

Narcissus and Goldmund is great. It feels like he's re-approaching themes from Siddhartha, but that notion of paths taken is worth exploring again and again.

Best book I've read in a long time: The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt -- it's not often that literary fiction reads as smoothly as a Stephen King book. It's a coming of age story, a drug story, a heist story all rolled up. Best bo

Maybe coming at this from the standpoint of psychological health is the wrong approach. It is understood that the product social media companies are selling is not the interaction of users -- it is the personal data those users create while

The headline is a bit of a dogwhistle, capitalizing on deep held sentiment among gamers, that unfortunately doesn't bear out in the market. I think many have pointed out that there are excellent smaller single player indies, but the ri

I remember around the time of Army of Darkness Sam Raimi said his ideal running time for his pictures was 65 minutes -- he disliked the idea of blowing somebody's day over a silly movie.

My issue with offline streaming apps (I prefer Apple) was the app tries to load the front page and stalls out failing to load the thumbnails. So even with downloaded content the app takes a dump with bad service. Like the other user mention

Spotty coverage on the mountain drive to my house so I use CDs. I've started burning copies of CDs because the washboard bumps on the dirt roads scratch the discs up pretty quick. Sirius XM works great too.

My 11-year-old still enjoys scratch -- he watches YouTubers like Grifpatch to learn higher level concepts. There's also PenguinMod which feels like Scratch with more assets.
