Activist: "Wool is cruel. The sheep should be left alone." Farmer: "Alone where?" Activist: "In a sanctuary." Farmer: "Doing what." Activist: "Just being a sheep." Farmer: "Sheep have been bred for ten thousand years to grow a fleece that doesn't stop. If I don't shear her, she overheats, gets fly strike, and dies in her own coat with maggots eating her from the skin down." Activist: "Then breed sheep that don't grow wool." Farmer: "We did. They're called mouflon. They live on cliffs in Sardinia and would last forty minutes on a Welsh hillside before something ate them." Activist: "I just don't think we should use animals for clothing." Farmer: "What's your jumper made of." Activist: "...recycled polyester." Farmer: "Plastic, then. Sheds microfibre into the washing machine every wash. The fibres go through the filter, into the river, into the fish, into you. When you're done with it, it sits in a landfill for four hundred years. My sheep's fleece composts in a hedge in eighteen months and grew back on her this spring." Activist: "But the sheep didn't consent." Farmer: "She was lying down with her eyes closed when I finished. She got up and went back to eating. I'd suggest you ask her how she feels, but she's busy, and I think she's already given her answer."

A Japanese company hired 11 full-time office cats to reduce workplace stress, and it’s working. Tokyo-based Qnote Inc. first adopted a cat in 2004 and has since grown its feline staff to 11 permanent office residents. Employees say the cats boost morale, encourage short breaks, and create a much more relaxed and pleasant work environment. Each cat even has an official job title, such as “office clerk,” “manager,” or “auditor”, making them fully integrated into the company culture. The company loves cats so much that “cat lover” is now listed as a requirement for human job applicants. To accommodate its furry employees, Qnote renovated the office with 12 cat toilets, climbing shelves, and scratch-resistant walls, allowing the cats to roam freely without causing damage. The result? Lower stress levels and stronger team bonding among staff. A purr-fect workplace solution.

🇯🇵 People love Japan for its safety, beauty, and culture. But Japan is special because it is Japanese. Its harmony, trust, and identity come from the Japanese people themselves. Turning it into a multicultural society would destroy the very thing the world admires.

PRAGMATA sold 1 million units in less than two days. I hope it continues to sell well and that this encourages Capcom and other AAA developers to return to a time when gameplay was the most important aspect of games, while charismatic characters complemented the experience. Simpler times, better times.

Crimson Desert has sold 5 million copies in less than 30 days. "copies sold" is the phrase of success. Western publishers have been hiding metrics with "players" or "played" which vastly inflates numbers without counting who is actually paying. Congrats Crimson Desert!

Crimson Desert has made over 200 MILLION already. 4M copies...mogging every AAA game out there. Asian games and Indies continue to show a path for success for the past 3 years that Western AAA seems adamant about refusing to follow. They would rather whine about the economy and toxic players than make money, I guess. News clip from my ad-free website, noclip360.com. Get your gaming news 3x a day!
