Just gotta hit the threshold of interest necessary to start.

Since B42 is unstable and updates might break saves, a fully persistent world might not be possible, but doesn't matter. Saving the world seed somewhere should be good enough.
Plus, I don't expect characters to live anywhere near as long as hers.

You can *see* how much better she got with each iteration, building on the achievements of previous Rats.
Perfect way to get back into the game.

In her Rat series she has 8 Rats in the same world, the map showing where each journeyed, notated with todo lists and important dates and the spot of their deaths, etc.

I am thinking of what run I want to do.
I think I'll do a version of her persistent Rat world, continuing after each character dies. Such a cool idea.

Basically: infinite, endless propaganda, in a form effortlessly consumed.

The mean cost of producing a truly staggering amount of propaganda, drops to basically nothing.

There is a huge youtube genre that consists of a TTS voice, reading text, while stock footage is shown. When boomers say "I do my research" they mean they watch 5+ hours of these videos each day.

You're on your way to pick up your kids after school and *this* freak has already given himself permission to act in lethal self-defense against anyone that so much as sneezes at him.

The violence geek's so tweaked up on fear and paranoia and delusion, fed to him by people who get paid millions to sell that, that they're a moment away from murdering anyone that looks at them wrong

You see a hungry guy asking people for food. The violence geek sees proof he's living in the post-apocalyptic wasteland full of marauders his favorite youtuber screaming at camera in car has told him.

You see a 6 year old looking for her kitten.
The violence geek's got a head full of youtube autoplays telling him the purge has finally come for him.

The accepted term for these freaks is "violence geeks"
They're *itching* to be just as violent as the normal people doing normal things around them.

You see a normal day, normal people going about normal lives.
This weird and offputting freak is fingering his handgun wondering how many of you he has to kill to feel safe.

The same multibillion dollar fear and paranoia industry also hits other people.
You're just going about your business, next to a guy who is completely convinced he's living in a fucking cormac mccarthy novel.

Imagine a boomer, trapped in an infinite conspiracy theory rabbit hole, made just for them.

Picture layers of algorithms that target an audience, generate content to show to that audience that ensures high engagement metrics, and not one of those algorithms understands what hate speech is.
comment in response to

Picture a boomer, watching 10 hours of virulent hate speech on youtube, not a second of which was made by a human.
"Kermit as tony soprano" and "kermit as comic book count dracula," except it's mutually contradictory versions of blood libel or false flag conspiracies
comment in response to

You already know how autoplay traps vulnerable people into radicalization rabbit holes.
How much *more* effective do you think the pipeline to blood libel will be, when the cost of saturating the infosphere drops to basically zero?

Reporter: Blink 300 times in 30 seconds if a diner owner has kidnapped your children
Hochul: *silent as she blinks nonstop for the next 5 minutes* Diners are important.

Reporter: what the fuck is the matter with you?
Hochul: New York is the diner state, we are the world capital of pancakes and hashbrowns and hot coffee, we *wipes sweat off forehead* invented diners.

No other state has quite the equivalent. You can get explosive diarrhea anywhere, but New York makes it an *experience*

So you win the shouting match, the guy puts out his cigarette.
Do not look too closely as he makes your sandwich.
Best sandwich of your life, it will take years off your kidney function.
Do not ask what kind of meat it is.
comment in response to

A proper New York bodega sandwich requires you have a shouting match with a guy smoking a cigarette over a flat top.
The health department doesn't have to get involved in this transaction.

Every other state has some form of gas station what cooks dubious food, but NY is the only state where you may have to win a fistfight to get it.

SolarCity was owned by elon's cousins until 2016, when he bought it from them.
They were scamming the shit out of New York state and Buffalo in 2014, which was 11 goddamn years ago.

*Every* "we're making a deal to bring back manufacturing jobs" will be an even bigger and more obvious total grift than that was.

Their image of reality after hours upon hours a day of listening to angry dudes shouting on youtube, is as divorced from reality as those dudes are from their former spouses.

Ask em what percent of the US population is trans and they'll seriously answer they think it's close to half. Ask em what NYC is like and they'll confidently describe it as a zombie apocalypse.

Imagine working there for a decade, getting paychecks from Marlboro. You have an inbox full of communications with the actual head office.
And one day it's shut down, you're told no, you never worked for them. Your whole corporate life has been a lie.

This fake Marlboro factory would send their invoices and such to the real Marlboro, who'd send out checks and people to repair equipment.

When a similar milk scandal happened in China in 2008 they executed two executives and sentenced several to life imprisonment, and massively ramped up testing and tracking

The Swill Milk scandal, wherein NYC killed thousands of infants with adulterated, rotting milk from diseased cows, while the board of health director insisted that the milk was actually healthier than normal milk, not a problem, no need to regulate, etc.

The incumbent just went "no, you're not the mayor. I am still the mayor"
For like 4 solid years.
