@CensoredLeak If the kid wanted to do it then there’s nothing wrong with it. I swear people cry about everything these days. That kid is gonna remember that for the rest of his life, he’s having a good time.
Put the phone down.
I mean it.
I know you have heard this before. But I want to tell you why it actually matters from someone who has spent 20 years looking at what sleep deprivation does to the human body.
Your brain has a waste clearance system called the glymphatic system. It only activates during deep sleep. It flushes the metabolic debris that accumulates during the day, including the proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Every night you shortchange your sleep, that cleaning cycle gets cut short.
Year after year, that adds up.
Tonight, do these five things.
1️⃣ Phone in another room
2️⃣ Thermostat to 67 degrees
3️⃣ 300mg magnesium glycinate
4️⃣ Room completely dark
5️⃣ Three slow nasal breaths before you close your eyes
You will feel the difference tomorrow morning. I promise. 🙏🏻
The Modern Game Industry Cycle
1. A studio creates an awesome new IP with a strong male lead. Gamers love it, and the game becomes a massive success.
2. The woke crowd notices its popularity and gets furious calls it “problematic” appeal.
3. Activists and like-minded hires take over key creative roles, gatekeeping passionate traditional artists out of the industry in favor of ideological fits.
4. The sequel launches with the original male protagonist replaced or sidelined by a female character. The changes feel forced and disconnected from what made the first game great.
5. Gamers reject the game, leading to poor reviews and disastrous sales.
6. Gaming media rushes to blame “sexist” and “toxic” gamers for not supporting it, while ignoring the game’s flaws.
7. The studio, unable to recover from the financial flop, shuts down or lays off talented artists and staff.
Examples:
All due respect to The Batman, but let's not pretend that movie did something new when Nolan already did things like that in 2005. And much better too imo.
