Hot take, “physical” video game formats are digital. The information needed to run the game is stored locally* on your device, whether your hard drive or your plastic disk The difference is whether someone remotely can have an opinion on whether that information is allowed to stay there, or run

Mamdani promised and is immediately delivering on policies the centrists sneered at us for even mentioning for 40 years. They're losing their minds because he's showing they've been lying all along about what is possible; he is proving that good government comes from the (not even that far) left

Real or AI? I truly no longer know
