Anything cyberpunk usually fits that bill. Like Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix sounds and is ridiculous in many ways, but also has some insights on the rich taking over the media and prison system.

Laws and terms are for the poor. I am sure big players like miHoYo, Niantic and Game Freak (Pokemon Go/Scarler/Violet) already have their own agreements and would not be affected by this.

Can't wait an indie developer to go bankrupt because the super secret algorithm counted updates as new installations and the developer gets billed multiple times for their whole player base.

The Settlers games have not been Settlers games after the fourth one. Except of course the remake, but that also was a very long time ago.

 

Anyone still remember Vine?

 

It is a significant part of your culture and heritage, you should actually read it at least once. It does not need to be the archaic original version, many if not all have meticulously modernized revisions that retain all of the meaning while making it easier to read for modern audiences.

Eneasz Brodski has an excellent audio version of this. After a rough start the audio quality gets a lot better and there are actually different readers for the characters. https://hpmorpodcast.com/

I did enjoy The Methods of Rationality, but I think it wanders in to territory of intellectual masturbation in the hypercompetence of the main character, even though it tries to justify it, and wouldn't recommend without reservations.

If you enjoyed this you should definitely check out Mother of Learning by Domagoj Kurmaic (aka nobody103).

 

A thorough but not densely written explanation of the basics of how and why natural selection works and can lead to incredible complexity with tiny steps and without a master plan.

Also introduced the term "meme" for the unit of cultural evolution comparable to the gene of biological evolution.

I own LotR and have read it. It basically defined the fantasy genre as we know it and has also inspired a lot not directly derived from it. But how it is written it didn't click with me and reading it felt a bit of a chore and I have never felt revisiting the book.

 

I just loved every minute of this.

I had only heard The Wolf You Feed before and didn't check the track list before putting it on, so I accidentally went semi-blind and kept being awestruck with every track and guest artist.

That photo is from Helsinki. Around Eira I think?

It's like having most of the content and communication being hosted by few corporations running on the faith of investors and struggling to realize the expected profits was a bad thing.
