Small fluffy mammals of any kind are always fun. Pangolins or Armadillos though would be fun.

River dolphins survive in freshwater happily, your dream is achievable.

Obviously worms in general are needed, but any big group of mainly parasitic ones I could happily delete without a second thought. Ideally let's also destroy any records of their existence.

Wasps are crucial pollinators, and predators for millions of other poisonous, venomous, deadly bug and animals (including other wasps). Ecosystem surviving the sudden loss of all wasps is questionable.

uBlock on firefox here, no User Agent spoofing, videos load in ~1-2 seconds as normal still. Wouldn't surprise me if it's used in nicher circumstances though.

Given how quickly everyone I know took to using Chrome on phones despite no adblock being available, I think sadly it won't have as big an impact as I wish it would.

Yes, pursuing infinite, endless bloody war is a sound strategy. Compared to say, finding a reasonable compromise that ensures everyone's security?

Frets on Fire! It was the cool open-source equivalent to Guitar Hero. And you know what - it was pretty hecka cool to wield your keyboard like a guitar.

In my anxious moods, I do sort of prepare myself. I try to think of every possible eventuality, every possible accusation or thought someone may have, every thing I might forget or fumble, and try to imagine what I might do to counteract or resolve it. It's still often a meaningless task because there are practically infinite possibilities, but in theory there's a logic and a benefit to it...

That is a cool way to think about it though. I might put more meta-thought into it for the future.

Steam Next Fest

Demos still exist, sure. Just not anywhere to the scale and pervasiveness that they used to. Nor do they come in cereal boxes.

Clearly this works for other people, and that is cool! Not for me though :(

My brain: "If it works out" then I won't have to worry about it, but while there's a chance it doesn't I still need to prepare myself for the worst scenario.

I remember when virtually every single game allowed you to play a 'Demo' for free, so you could find out exactly what the gameplay is like in any game before playing it. They often came in my cereal boxes as a kid, or free to pick up at the checkout. I still have a cool CD from the 2000s which has like five big studio name Demos in one.

Now that's Pepperidge Farm Remembers. Or did I out myself as too old?
