I'm a fan of open world survival crafting games myself. Check out these titles if you're also interested: https://intosanctuary.com/index.php?threads/list-of-terraria-likes.1210/
I've had my eyes on Hytale for a couple of years. I do hope it comes out. Soon, or at all..
The article about atheists suing was very vague in its terminology about both the actual case and the reasons why. Reading between the lines it seems to be about US First Amendment, which is reasonable. If a political body or authority preferenced only one religion, that would violate it.
Authoritarian prohibition and violent enforcement only leads to Barbara Streisand effects and illegal underground profiteers. Increasing the availabillity of drugs and alcohol, and even worse criminal stuff. Child sex trafficking wouldn't be as much of a thing if actual prostitution was legal.
What will rememedy the matter is education.Parental, State, and Private. Facts and consequences being made known to the general public. So they'll decide themselves that they shouldn't be doing it.
Profit-driven corporations can only survive on consumers money, meaning that if consumers weren't so apathetic towards scummy company practices, they would die out. There's plenty of blame to go around. Those who come up with the bad ideas, those who implement them, and those who fund them and give them PR. Some forgiveness should be considered for those who do not know, but for those who do know, and still use and consume the products? Equal blame. Everyone who supports google for example.
Technically, they are right. A government shouldn't ban a corporation due to its ideology, but from a standpoint of laws. That said, US should reinforce privacy laws instead. They don't want to do that because they themselves are also spying on and tracking citizens though..
Wokeness encompasses many things, but at the root of it, is the leftwing version of identity politics and racism. Global authoritarian Collectivist style. Wokeness is Critical Race Theory, black-washing and race-swapping. Affirmative action and hires. Diversity, inclusion, and equity. Political Correctness. Double-speak and wrongthink. Revisionist history. etc. In a nutshell.
I'm not a particular fan of the Rightwing version either..
Well, google on google so.. I tried it with the alternatives I posted, and http://www.freezepage.com/1677802633FWKFEMXHNO works perfectly, while ghostarchive use some experimental google standards that doesn't display on a proper browser.
Gamerant archive looks perfectly fine for me. It looks like it cuts off the sides, but everything is entirely readable and you're only missing out on the ads (if there are any), and the "This amazing article about X will shock you". Might be a browser related issue? I'm using Pale Moon. You could test if http://www.freezepage.com/ or https://ghostarchive.org/ works better.
Not even posting source...

He's swallowed the Ukraine spiel whole it seems.
There's no exact defined line, but if you think about life in a series of steps from non-alive matter to simple life to insects to animals to humans.. Then sentient would include insects and animals. Sapient is human btw.
Pretty sure they mean Sapient AI, but there's no (current) worry about that, with binary computers. Maybe Sentient (which is the word they use, but not the meaning), perhaps.
Thaumaturge.. "Story-rich, turn-based". Do they mean WRPG, or Chose-your-own-ending, or Visual Novel, or Point'n'Click adventure?
I stopped watching Mandalorian when they cancelled Gina Carano.
Pretty sure AI DJ should be in Propaganda, what with it sharing "culturally relevant, accurate commentary".
Isn't the Rapture prophecy? Why be against it? Well, unless you're an high-ranking Jehova's Witness, you're not getting into heaven, so I could understand that viewpoint.
