Depends on the banality of the tips.

You don't care about newer games because you've gotten older. Kids younger than us are forming core memories with today's games, and are depending on those more capable to preserve their childhood memories.

Also, there has been an indie Renaissance since 2010, I could name dozens of games that are already widely regarded classics. Happy to make some recommendations if you are into any particular genres.

I've known people in abusive relationships who would tell you they're happy. We can't pretend like conditioning or manufactured consent aren't a thing.

One day the right to agentic intelligence will be seen equal to and as necessary as the right of a populace to remain armed in order to stave off tyranny.

We wouldn't be here today if the video game industry hadn't continued pushing the envelope for decades.

"Ancient" colonialism? The US and Israel are both actively seeking to expand their colonial territory.

This was an interesting piece of fiction you've written, with some very impressive mental gymnastics on display. However, it's so wrong that engaging with it would be doing you a disservice because it would make you think it's even an intellectually respectable position to have in the first place.

Have you played Outer Wilds? It nails this feeling. If you haven't played it, don't read or watch a single thing about it and just play it with zero expectations.

I wonder how many other people have had that same delightfully lucky misfortune. :)

This is why utpoias are actually police state hellscapes. Who decides what risk means? Our current administration has declared that simply being anti-facist makes you a terorrist.

The way The Rehearsal continues to escalate and fold in on itself is a masterclass in screenwriting.

The precision required underneath the surface to plan and execute what seems like such a spastic, increasingly desperate clusterfuck involving so many real people can only be achieved by the exact methods put on display. Endless iteration and exploration until every serious edge case is considered and accounted for. Nathan would have made a great engineer.

The Curse was incredible.

I imagine this movie will be pretty successful as well and talked about a good bit on social media, between this and The Curse Nathan probably has formed a pretty good relationship with A24, I hope they continue to fund his antics for a while. The Rehearsal was some of the best television ever and I'd love to see more projects of that caliber.

I had to pause multiple times when watching The Curse because I was writhing in spiritual pain from excessive cringing. It was amazing.
