I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

please please please i have no coin for the ferryman if i am to die now i will never reach the realm of hades please turn me into a bird any bird or a bug or something anything please please pleasepleaseplease
i hate saying âi love video gamesâ because imagine a world where you say âi love cinemaâ and everyone automatically assumes you only mean marvel movies. like, not even in a bad way, but they donât think it could mean anything else
and thatâs what it feels like to say you love video games
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as âproblematicâ in class and our professor was like, âThatâs cool, but âproblematicâ doesnât really mean anything. It means that the thing youâre describing has a problem, and in and of itself thatâs not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else itâs not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like youâre trying to say that this is bad, but you donât want to say âbad.â Is that right?â
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the âbadâ thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, âIâm uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.â
Once we stopped calling things âproblematicâ and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, âthatâs racistâ or âthatâs misogynisticâ or âew capitalism grossâ out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, âUhhh... Iâm not sure whatâs so bad?â and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I canât help but think of this professor being like, âGood starting point, now letâs get specific.â I think when we have to commit to saying âthatâs ___â it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever weâre claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes itâs art, and it should be full of problems, because thatâs what art is.
Boo hoo i'll be able to add more physical storage to my phone and be able to change out batteries if they degrade as well as all these other optional features I won't have to touch
I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.
"Is this what you want? Is this ugly stupid bullcrap what you want??" the biggest loudest idiot in the room asks, holding up a picture of the hottest looking shit I've ever seen
Anyone have a fix for whatever the hell this is? There's usually some kind of little "I'm an adult, watch it anyway" button that appears under this text on YT vids.
To clarify before someone suggests it: I am 100% signed into my account, "Restricted Mode" is turned off, I am over 18 and that is reflected by the date of birth on my Google account.

Scotland's children's commissioner warns that a social media ban "WON'T keep children safe."
Scotland's children's commissioner has warned a social media ban could drive children to less regulated or riskier parts of the internet.
âThere is insufficient evidence to suggest a social media ban for underâ16s would help keep children safer online, Scotland's children's commissioner has said.â
âNicola Killean warned a ban could drive children to less regulated or riskier parts of the internet, and said the focus should instead be on holding social media companies to account.
She was responding to the UK government's consultation on whether to introduce a minimum age for accessing online platforms, including social media.
"A ban does little to address underlying issues such as exploitative algorithms, and business models that drive harmful content and engagement," she said.â
âAhead of submitting her response, the commissioner's office carried out a children's rights impact assessment examining how the proposals could affect children and young people, both positively and negatively.â
âHer team also worked with a group of young advisers aged between 12 and 17 from across Scotland.â
She said that are dangers like cyber bullying, harmful content, and exploitationâ
But she also pointed out the benefits of social media and the way it impacts these teens lives, saying
"by supporting communication, self-expression, access to information, participation, play, and connection with communities and support networks".
She added "The evidence so far on bans is limited, mixed, and still emerging.
"Blanket restrictions can risk shifting responsibility away from platforms and onto children."
âKillean also warned a ban could impact on some youngsters more than others.
The commissioner said it could more negatively impact those in rural and remote areas, those with family overseas, disabled children and those who rely on online communities for support with their identity.â
âIn her recommendations, Killean called for greater focus on platform design and accountability, and a crack-down on harmful features.
She also said rules should reflect children's age and maturity, and that young people should be directly involved in shaping future policy.
Any new age limit should not weaken existing safeguards, she added.â
