New Game Dungeon! Once again, this took way longer than it should have, but a lot of this was time getting diverted to other projects that should manifest themselves later this year. This episode may be a little too long too, but I'm still figuring out how this show works. Next few Game Dungeons will probably be shorter! This is a blog post.

Well I think the part about prisons inmates don't like is the being locked in cages with dangerous people against their will part, not the work being optional part.

I've been very busy and don't get a chance to look at most of the forums, but I've had some of the bans run by me, it seemed pretty clear cut. I set the rules up in 2007 or so and it hasn't changed. Some of the rules: -Try to act civil. This means direct insults to other people are generally against the rules. I've told the mods to give a little leeway if it's a heat of the moment thing, but the cases I saw looked like there was zero intention of being civil. You can attack and debate other peoples' IDEAS all you want, but if you're unable to do it in a mature way, you do risk being banned. Some people seem unaware of how to express their thoughts in an adult manner, that's unfortunate that they have to learn that this is a useful life skill the hard way. In my experience, insulting people doesn't lead to productive conversation. Even if this is swimming upstream, I'd prefer the forums to be a bit of an oasis for civil discourse, however futile that may be. -Try to avoid speech / topics that could be interpreted as hate speech by the Supreme Court. This is also interpretive, but this just isn't the right place to have deep dives on this sort of topic. This means some topics can get relatively touchy, but I'm just erring on the side of the caution here. This isn't really what my videos or the forums are about anyway. I think that doesn't apply to this particular topic, but some of the other bans were drifting into this area. -Try not to be a jerk. Very interpretive, but is kind of a catchall if somebody's trying to test the limits. It's not really meant as a hardline rule, more a situation for weird fringe cases. As for threatening to withdraw funds and stop recommending me, I'm fortunately in a position where viewers are collectively my boss and not just one person. Plus, this administration does not negotiate with terrorists. I still have plenty of good videos coming and have always seen my success as just me pushing my luck. Everyone is still welcome to watch the videos regardless if you donate or not.

Well I didn't say humanity is saintly, I said it's mostly malleable. I think most people just kind of go with the flow. We're not really wired to deal with problems on an abstract and global scale, mostly just immediate ones in front of us. That people default to just what's affecting their own lives is pretty normal. We can obviously be much smarter and more effective than that, but that takes systems to implement effectively.

Here's the latest videochat. There were some good questions and I was mostly coherent, but I repeated myself too much again. Talked a little about Far Cry 6, punching games, energy use of cryptocurrency, usual random stuff. More real videos coming! This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »
