My biggest problem with latex socks is all the squelching that starts happening as sweat pools up in the feet. Like wearing wet boots.
I know there are some with little air holes in the bottom though, got a pair like that?

It gets very blurry in the early days of video games. Ahoy made a great video about just that, actually: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQ4WCU1WQc&pp=ygUYYWhveSBlYXJsaWVzdCB2aWRlbyBnYW1l
Basically, there's earlier games than pacman, but what actually constitutes a video game starts to become a much less trivial question.
But we probably all make it onto some list ^^
I agree for the most part. A company holding an iron grip on the game and keep the competitive scene alive as a marketing tactic is a recipe for disaster if we are to take it seriously as a long term sport. A company will not hesitate to shut things down if they unanimously decide they no longer want it to exist.
Regarding whether esports are sports or not is kind of arbitrary. The same as how we call competitive chess and darts and formula 1 sports despite being more mental than physical in nature.
Here is to hoping something will come out of it. Planned obsolescence is illegal for so much else, but somehow gaas get away with it.
Sure, they shouldn't need to actively support an eol game with servers and whatnot, that would be impossible in some circumstances. Is it too much to ask companies to have a plan to transition their games into a serverless state instead of letting yet another piece of culture die though? I don't think so.
I don't agree with this take at all. Agent Smith was definitely evil, the machines were victims of capitalist exploitation, which they just turned right around on humanity once they took charge.
I suppose that point is mostly explored in the sequels though.
Usually microtransactions have such a low real price that it wouldn't make sense to make the bank transaction for just a single skin or whatever. I think you'd just end up with bundles instead where there's a single thing you actually want with a bunch of bullshit attached to justify a higher asking price.
