  • It was really groundbreaking to have the narrator react to what you were doing, in a "Half-Life feels like a real world that you inhabit" way. The way the music was woven into the game was also amazing, and the art! There's a reason it put them on the map.

    I didn't like the gameplay all that much though and the world building didn't make too much sense to me. These parts have aged the most poorly. But it was way better than just marketing.

  • I would believe them that they had the vision, I wouldn't believe it would literally happen, but I would consider if it was a sign that the trip was not a good idea for some other reason.

  • I haven't watched the video, but I've definitely played with spoons, forks, water cups, knives, and made towers out of the grape jelly packets from childhood through to adulthood if it strikes my fancy. I know this isn't exactly "normal" but it's kind of fun. It's probably also fun if you're tripping on ketanine, IDK.

  • There's stuff I could do, like remove tags from myself on fb (is that possible?) or delete my account, but it's enough work and enough of a loss (what if I need to find an old contact) that I just ignore the problem.

  • It still might be problematic around airports if people on the ground breathe it in before it reacts. And what about all the sodium bicarbonate precipitating all over the ground? That's bound to affect the local environment before it ends up in the oceans..

    That said who knows maybe it's better than the carbon dioxide alternative

  • “Clearness and vividness in writing often turn on mere specificity. To say that Major André was hanged is clear and definite; to say that he as killed is less definite, because you do not know in what way he was killed; to say that he died is still more indefinite because you do not even know whether his death was due to violence or to natural causes. If we were to use this statement as a varying symbol by which to rank writers for clearness, we might, I think, get something like the following: Swift, Macauley, and Shaw would say that André was hanged. Bradley would say that he was killed. Bosanquet would say that he died. Kant would say that his mortal existence achieved its termination. Hegel would say that a finite determination of infinity had been further determined by its own negation.”
