I played terminal velocity, kind of like the ‘we have descent at home’

Also around that time there was a game Magic Carpet EA published that had a similar feel

Doom WADs for a huge back catalog, elder scrolls mods for Bethesda tools and a pretty big player base, Unity/UE for more professional game designer tools, mega man maker for something quick and simple and fun to jump into

Stilsuits: get it for the unbearable heat as we turn the Earth into a desert, now with wifi blocking!

I thought we were going with musicians and actors for asking public figures about geopolitical events they are neither experts in nor qualified to address

When she started she was a pop science channel, relaying new physics research to a general audience. Apparently that wasn’t enough and she dove head first down the conspiracy theory and pseudoscience slide to ad revenue and clicks, abandoning all reason and peer review standards.
