"...you get to be relieved of your responsibilities for the day and go do something fun" is a terrible attitude to take about the underlying work if you're trying to make games. If you didn't enjoy making it, they won't enjoy playing it.

Edit for the downvote: I have a small games studio. I also attended d.school and have an EMBA. Large companies will have some people who phone it in day-to-day. A small studio needs people to be committed and giving 100% basically at all times. If you've done your job properly, you might find that you have to force people to take time off or even go home at the end of the day. That's what I was getting at. Field trips might form part of that engagement strategy, but not as a respite from an otherwise grim day-to-day.

It's always some obscure quote from the hadith about some homicidal tree. Most Muslims, like the other Abrahamic faithful, are just trying to stop trans people from having abortions.

It's also starting to get really obvious isn't it? I mean, you really have to be provincial. I'm actually thinking of moving to the country and trying bigotry for a bit myself. You know, before we've missed it completely. It's just that there's a really good shawarma place round the corner from us here.

There's some weird looking Haredi Jews waving their arms and blabbering something about Materialism in that 18 percent.

If the Germans could determine whether someone was Jewish, I'm sure there must be several perfectly reasonable and objective ways of doing it.

Everything is an advertisement now. We even made ourselves into our own advertisements. The number 1 childhood aspiration is to become the most effective advertisement.

Tbf, not everyone needs to get informed or involved with issues like this. Realistically, many people would be better off engaging minimally with social media and focusing on their own health and wellbeing and just generally embracing casual anti-racism, rather than trying to internalise it.

He's refering to Taiwan obviously.
