  • I’m tempted to say either The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto V, or Metal Gear Solid 5 (if you can look past the fact it’s unfinished).

    All three are exceptionally polished, have huge, highly detailed world’s to explore, cinematic moments with blockbuster action scenes, smooth and balanced gameplay, are suitable for gaming noobs and veterans, and has moments to goof off and dick around.

    It’s hard not to be biased, though I’ll state I don’t personally like GTAV, I think it’s perhaps too ordinary for my tastes and feels too restrictive in its mission structure.





  • You’re not alone in not living up to your principles, virtually nobody can.

    I once tried to vet all the products I was buying to make sure I wasn’t contributing to slave labour, or deforestation, or animal exploitation, and it was exhausting.

    It was good to identify brands which were absolute villains, and I still avoid them like the plague, but the amount of willpower it takes to travel to multiple stores and pick only the lesser of evils is something I’m not capable of right now.

    I make gradual improvements, which is sustainable.

    I am dead-set on repairing what I can, and hate spending money on new things.



  • My mother does wildlife rescues, birds are mostly, then goes home and cooks a roast chicken.

    She knows it’s hypocritical. Cognitive dissonance is weird.

    Also, it’s not so alienating. I attend dinners with my family, and I’ll eat roast vegies, and bring a side-dish for myself. Over time a few of my friends became vegan (I didn’t convince them to) and it’s exciting to share recipes.

    If nothing else, reduce your meat intake over time.

    As with most changes people make, the more drastic, the more unlikely it is to stick.

    When I became vegan I was a slut for KFC burgers, and I “failed” a few times, but I just kept reminding myself it’s not good for anyone, and mustered up the will power to drive past, and eat at home instead.










  • For the sake of brevity, I’m just going to agree that I’m sea-lioning.

    Now, explain how what I’m doing is unethical.

    Do you think it’s unethical because it uses stolen art?

    If so, I don’t think there’s an issue because I’m not publishing anything I generate.

    Do you think it’s unethical because of the electricity usage?

    If so, you could make the argument about any frivilous activity which generates electricity.

    I really don’t know of a compelling reason besides these two which raises a red flag for you.
