Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)

I think all game can have negative effect when you stop being challenged but still keep playing. It then becomes a very cheap and useless way of suceeding at something. I also note that some games have problem complex enough, so that trying to solve the same problem 1 year later is still challenging...

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)

There are a lot of very good game now. I have several games with playtime in the 4 digits. They don't help the world, but they keep me in a learning state that would otherwise require to be very invested in a career to be attained. Most job don't realy help the world either, at most, they fix issues...

Re: Where do you get music?

I use youtube with addblock which is great on my side, but no one gets paid.
Only music i paid in the last years was either live or on steam.
Is there an equivalent to steam for music?
I don't like the spotify algorythm, and i'de like the curation and the selling done in the same place.

Re: Tent and sleeping bag recommendations sought

Most notable change is that synthetic sleeping bag are now much better than before, so you might consider them over a down sleeping bag, because they are cheaper, and still much less sensitive to humidity than down sleeping bags. Besides that, I'm not very aware of what brands are availlable in nort...

Re: Sex Work, Erotic Capital, and ERE

@7w5
chimp are as close to us as bonobo are. They exhibit a very different behavior.
I think the sexual behavior is much more linked to recent evolutionary context, than old genes from millions of years ago.
I'm not saying bonobos are a wrong model for modern human

the name killer is misleading, it's more about having power on others than killing them. Also, I think the best game are those that allow those four instinct to be satisfied at the same time. Hunt : Showdown is a good example of that. You play in duo or trui, which is perfect for socializing, you ne...
