@098a11ae @0d9708df @38fcf2ec For me, the biggest issue with leaving Facebook is that I don't know where to really go next...and I have my family contacts and friends contacts to try and keep in contact with.
One friend went to Minds, but that's heavily cryptocurrency focused, so it'd just be moving out of the fire into a pressure cooker in my opinion.
But also...there's the network effect and needing to get people to follow; I couldn't get them to friend me on Steam as an in-between. 

 @bb1a99d2 The university standard for specific, one-way archiving of data last I was there was called "Final_Final_Final_V2". 

 @Chris Trottier I mean, this doesn't seem *that* different from the idea of catgirls. 

 @0c1a9324 @07dbd179 ...So the core is that he doesn't critically think about sci-fi, not that the sci-fi was read.

I'm reminded of Starship Troopers - the book was, as I understand, heavily fascist, and the movie was intended to be a satire of fascist propaganda. As people have since noted, it apparently took a while for it to be identified as such, but... apparently the movie writer had critically thought about the book they were translating to film. 

 @Chris Trottier Right; but I think notably, none of these games garnered a whole lot of clones or likes or sequels, or even spiritual sequels.

Nobody is making Halo Wars/Army Men: RTS-likes like people made Doom-likes on PC, nor are the developers pulling a 007 Goldeneye -> Perfect Dark trajectory.

Even ignoring the following of Medal of Honor/Call Of Duty/etc. on later consoles. 

 @Chris Trottier Even XBox was awkward - I'm reminded of the Halo Wars RTS game I played briefly on the 360, and...it still showed why RTS games aren't common on consoles.
