  • I’d say, I’m primarily a very low volume gamer, so I don’t play a lot of games, and if I do, I don’t play them for long. And that certainly makes it easy to look at the news of a game releasing and to think, yeah, that’s probably neat, but if I’m buying another game then it’d be Undertale or Baba Is You or such, and it definitely doesn’t look as neat as those…















  • Yeah, I feel like this Wikipedia graphic puts it quite well why that was rejected:

    You see that “Pleistocene” vertical bar? And you see that tiny sliver of “Holocene” at the top. Yeah, the Anthropocene folks were basically arguing that so many riveting things happened in the Holocene already, that we need to declare a new epoch for what’s happening now.

    Besides, if we do continue to irrevocably fuck Earth and the current mass extinction event continues to wipe out a big chunk of life on Earth, then a future sentient species might declare our entire existence as just the geological event that ended the current era (Cenozoic).
