  • Same, about 2-3 times over the years. Had to start over each time because I forgot everything. Just looking at the map gave me anxiety because it was just so much. I’m an OCD completionist, so I have to do everything, visit every place, collect everything. That game was just overwhelming. Everything else about it was great though.




  • If people knew what the MS G. H. O. S. T. team has on them, everyone would be horrified. If you use a Windows PC, they have everything you do on it. Worse if you use Edge. I’m pretty sure we could scare the shit out of anyone if you could show them this data. Think about it, if you asked anyone you knew if you could look at their entire browsing history, they probably wouldn’t let you. Then ask them if you could look at their entire browsing history that they thought has been deleted going back like a decade. That’s the type of data this team has. You can’t even find a whole lot about what the team does, but it’s pretty insane.









  • I blame social media and algorithms. My teen son for the longest time was leaning further and further right due to the content he was getting served on YouTube. He was making disparaging comments about women and how stupid they are. My wife and I who lean left had to sit down and have a talk with him about what he was saying and videos that he was getting served by YouTube (that popular red pill girl, I can’t remember her name and andrew tate among other red pill stuff). He’s a pretty smart kid, once we showed him data and articles that directly proved all the things he was watching wrong, he started to come around. He’s been careful to believe things that he sees or hears on the internet more now. Occasionally, he’ll bring things to us that we have to double take and fact check to see if it’s wrong.
