For the record, it is an extraordinary experiment in horror. #IronLung #indiegaming #ShareYourGame

Syzmanski shared that the #game was seeing a spike in sales and popularity on his personal Twitter, posting a chart with the caption “This feels so wrong.” The game is also being bombarded with positive reviews, one of which reads: “Retroactively based on a true story.” #IronLung #IndieGame #Titanic #Titan

#Markiplier was in Northern BC, Canada last year? Watch his video of him reviewing Canadian Fast Food (aka Tim Horton’s). He mentioned in that video that he was shooting a movie.

I wonder if this was that project.

#Markiplier is making a movie based on the indie (horror?) game Iron Lung. This is going to be so interesting! The game is definitely an interesting choice. Its backstory and premise etc. is pretty unique.

Mark is my favourite YouTuber. He’s the most genuine one imo. Been following him for over a decade now. He always goes all-out on his project so I’m super interested in this.

Got around to playing #IronLung last night, a @shortgame recommendation from last year.

An excellent, short-subject #horror game; takes an hour or two to play through.

Works fine on #SteamDeck! The controls feel awkward, but they're supposed to.

(My sole complaint is that the ending text felt entirely unnecessary! It smells like it was added due to early feedback from people saying "Wait, that's it?") #VideoGames

@neroden @luckytran I'm currently one of the less than 5% of people around here who still wear masks at supermarkets. And the politicians are too afraid of the conspiracy nuts to reinstate mask mandates, if they even want to. They all still think they're safe because they've been vaccinated and/or had the 'rona once. Popular media declare the pandemic is over while the healthcare system is collapsing. It's some kind of contagious collective madness. Air filters are often turned off in order to save energy, since due to the war Russian gas has become unavailable.
So I'm afraid we will probably see hundreds of thousands of newly disabled people suffering from chronic #LongCovid / #PostCovid in the future before people notice what's going on, and since chronic illness tends to be invisible, Long Covid doesn't really catch very much media attention. The antivaxx conspiracy nuts believe that the vaccine causes it, and since there are many who have recovered from Covid and haven't noticed any lasting damage so far, many people think of Long Covid as something rare and unusual.

I still think Long Covid is the new #PostPolio - we will have a lot of disabled people when this is over, if this ever ends. If this bloody SARS 2.x coronavirus becomes permanently endemic, it will do the kind of damage to our society nobody has seen who doesn't remember the #IronLung - outside of #malaria regions, that is. We'll just get a lot of newly disabled people year after year, people who just disappear because they spend their entire lives lying in bed and sitting on the couch. They'll be easy to ignore for a long time, I fear, as long as the public can be distracted by some public outrage about some migrant crime story or some politician who said something stupid.

An aerosol vaccine would be likely to stop most infections right in the nose at least for some time, so if we somehow managed to get virtually everyone to get a puff of the latest version every few months, we might be able to keep outbreaks small and limited. That, however, might not be possible without exposing at least parts of the population to the vaccine aerosol without their knowledge and consent, which is something no liberal democracy could pull off. China could, maybe China will. It is hard to stab people with a needle without their consent, but it should be rather easy to make them inhale something they don't want.

Sorry for the wall of text, my instance recently switched from 500 to 5000 characters, and now I'm just typing as if this was Tumblr.
