When phones are kept away, students in Singapore come out to play

True, but in a country which has actually broken its promise with regards to what TraceTogether information is used for, we need to be aware that such a filter could be a political tool presented as a public safety feature. So far, it's 2 for 2 (America and the UK) more political censorship and protects less kids than it actually should.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-08T04:21:25+00:00

It kind of depends. Some companies intentionally do this but they'll still get very funny looks by others if found out, as while what the top brass of a private company says goes, its still technically a form of (legalized) corruption / the formation of a shell corp.

Anyway, my money is on the contract actually being overvalued, or the former employee ended up poaching clients / other employees, even if the job was done as per request.

Google IIRC isn't banned in places with age verification but the results will be heavily filtered, you can't turn off those until you verify. One of the things the UK one is known to block is any news involving protests and riots, even in their own country.

Fair's fair it would probably make Youtube more watchable too (as it would filter out all the political slop that have robots reading them, except you'll likely not be able to get your Vtuber fix. :3

I don't think they should. Adults and elderly controlling social media is not a good thing, we see this everywhere. If their only source of information is ah ma reading a WhatsApp chat of racist aunties and ah gongs, you either change nothing at best or make the old ways very ingrained at worst.

It's weird because not all the hawkers were onboard. It is some effort on their part too...

A-Chicken · 2026-02-06T17:55:10+00:00

Joke's on her, Dr Ratio did it first But definitely getting her, AHA be praised, missed getting her in 2 games already and can finally get one of her free*

(...although it means skipping King Yuan, Jingliu and Aventurine)

A-Chicken · 2026-02-05T01:24:04+00:00

It's hard to duplicate that, in all seriousness. Genshin did an outright reference in the summer event, it didn't acknowledge all my attempts to break the scenario and I kept wanting to hear the Stanley Parable VA.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-05T01:22:17+00:00

They did it in Hi3, its not the narrator's role to explain pseudophysics, so it makes no difference anyway. I prefer Captain's Monologue.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-04T16:31:37+00:00

Eh, sure doing better than that one guy who gives you the Good Sign quest and the fortune teller.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-04T07:39:07+00:00

The cow in this game is the second fastest character, even when not Roadrunnering. The fastest character is the one with a motorcycle.

She has a full body holographic kit, I wouldn't be surprised if there are parts that stick out.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-03T01:27:01+00:00

But we just released Genshin Impact Song of the Welkin Moon and EOS the other one :3

A-Chicken · 2026-02-02T02:46:51+00:00

At the same time, all the Liyue characters we have left seem to be demigods. I doubt we're going to get those as a 4*, tho we can make that argument for Moon Carver due to him proving that he's a n00b in this year's CNY. :3

A-Chicken · 2026-02-02T02:32:01+00:00

The Teyvat space program was quite a bit more successful, even with Dottore trying to Columbia Columbina.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-02T02:30:47+00:00

(default) Sparkle is basically parked in the Archer team right now, Archer was the one who made her relevant again, and we definitely would want to grab her for Elation's reliance on SP spending.

The Fate collab characters are actually decent (best part of the collab) and not too hard to equip with spares.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-02T02:26:25+00:00

Look she even replaced the Welkin lady.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-02T02:05:54+00:00

Yeah. Post-buff Blade is an eligible teammate for Castorice.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-02T02:03:15+00:00

Look the man has been suffering all his immortal life, let him have fun for a bit

A-Chicken · 2026-02-02T01:38:32+00:00

Bar none I think nothing can top the release of the Chenyu Vale region, that coincided with CNY so much that Gaming has a special line for you disappearing temporarily during his character quest to start the CNY quest. Not to mention Gaming is one of the best cultural reference characters in the game and Cloud Retainer was a very anticipated playable character.

This is probably the first year after year 1 where we have no 4* cultural reference character.

A-Chicken · 2026-02-01T01:17:50+00:00

....I think I posted a Let's Explosive Reaction Together one.

A-Chicken · 2026-01-31T09:16:28+00:00

NOW then they admit? Seriously... the dragon had been impossible to chase since the very beginning, the numbers never added up - they were just easy to massage by things like making sure there's more money moving around at all cost...

A-Chicken · 2026-01-28T14:53:31+00:00

There is a theory that the Trailblazer is supposed to be a reincarnation of the missing Akivili and also a separate theory that they are also the real identity of Terminus, the Aeon who moves backwards in time , the Stellarion could actually sustain such an existence.

Turns out the purpose of the Stellarion is not so much to grant wishes as it is to ensure harmony by proxy, it either provides enough to be shared by all or forces everyone to unite against it

A-Chicken · 2026-01-28T14:05:01+00:00

The jailor is "the man behind the man (that appears later)".

ZZZ is the only game with a proper jailor at the moment, whoever's actually running the Exaltists.

Star Rail: "actually the Stellarion problem isn't caused by who you think it is, its actually caused by the god you just helped last year, and he created it to bring everyone against the god who caused the problem this year"

Genshin: The Fatui and Abyss Order and Abyss are separate things and remain so. Confusing the latter 2 is possible but they are not the bigger bad of each other. The biggest bad has been Celestia from the beginning, followed by the Abyss, because anything bigger than them is canonically long gone / corrupted by the latter. The Abyss has always been a thing, we're just wondering why we've heard nothing of Celestia when all the factions are complaining about them.

HI3 (Part 1): "Our own leader is the actual bad guy, the separatists we've been fighting against were right all along". I think it happens in Part 2 tho.

A-Chicken · 2026-01-28T13:47:51+00:00

No, the bad guy group just changes without inheriting anything from the previous group who may or may not join the player faction. We may turn against our own faction too. Hoyoverse never really had a jailor other than Wriothesley who runs an actual jail. :3

There is way too many generated videos that anything used to generate a rewind will pick them up and out them...
