Keep in mind that in the Star Trek canon, Joe Piscopo is regarded as the greatest comedian of the 20th century. It's already an extremely weird alt timeline.
I think it’s brave if them to experiment with games about literally anything but combat, and I think it’s about time. Games have evolved so much they could give us so many varieties of things to do, and almost all of them just go the same route of shooting and hitting things.
I had laser surgery done on my eyes in 2016 and this is one of the things I really miss: being able to take off my glasses and see the world turn into fuzzy shapes and motion instead of fine details to concentrate on. It could be relaxing, as long as I was somewhere familiar enough to navigate.
Prices need to drop more than slightly to make buying a home feasable, and my partner and I combined make six figures. Rates have been incredibly low over the past decade and it's led to wealthy speculators and companies buying everything up, and it's completely unsustainable.

Threads is currently in the first stage of EEE: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Best to stop it now before it goes too far.
From Wikipedia:
"Embrace, extend, and extinguish" (EEE), also known as "embrace, extend, and exterminate", is a phrase that the U.S. Department of Justice found that was used internally by Microsoft to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors.
