Non-Gaming Hot Takes

[UnDubious]

My (not) hot take: most superpowers that sound cool to have would probably make the CIA kidnap you or kill you. Like there's no way they'd let you just fly freely or shapeshift or whatever. They'd 100% get you.

Never cared about my health neither. I always ate what I wanted and never had any kind of problem, my health is almost perfect. Moreover I can eat whatever I want without fatten up, thanks to anxiety and my metabolism.

Char's Counterattack and F91?

Char's Counterattack and F91?

I never saw F91, and I thought Char's Counterattack was bad, though I enjoyed it on a visceral level.

What if you shapeshifted into a dumpster or something until they went away. Then you shapeshifted into the president and took his place, the secret service would have to protect you since you're the president now (i know, but please let me have this)

I'm sorry but the whole thing about the three letters organisations aren't a bit over-exaggerated by conspiracies?

Paranoia is a real condition.

Paranoia is a real condition.

There are lots of official reports that have been declassified decades after the fact following congressional hearings, requests for information etc. These are public and can be accessed by anybody, and they're plenty enough to shatter whatever delusions you have about what Governments and secret services wouldn't do, as are the various leaks from whistleblowers that have been confirmed through the years. There are also tons of books and documentaries and newspaper reports about these topics by legitimate researchers that only rely on serious sources. Of course there are also people making things up on the Internet, but that's a separate matter. We are going to see some crazy things with AI improving too.

Imagine not knowing Mossad-CIA and their exploits, like MK-Ultra, Sleeper Agents, CP Rackets (Epstein-Barr, et al.)

I would say more about current events, but I truly want to respect the rules, and stay friends with fellow retro gamers. Politics spoil the fun.

MK-Ultra, Sleeper Agents.

MK-Ultra was kinda a hoax to make the Soviets believe that the USA had new forms of weapons.

Remember that the Cold War was also an Information War.


I think that The Matrix (and The Terminator to a lower extent) really made people a bit too crazy about conspiracies around (and missed the point of these movies).

 

[popckorn]

Who nose, man.
I really do not care to discuss that here.
