It examines the way in which games are made by asking the very people who create them, though the questions asked aren't just about game design, they also cover how developers made their start and what inspires them as creators. Split into two halves, the first segment delves into what makes the developers tick by asking about how they started, what and who inspires them and what games they are currently playing, whereas the second part of the show covers the game that they are currently working on and the thought processes behind its development. So, if you really want to hear about a game's gestation in full and frank detail then you have found the right podcast.

Platforming untold stories of Black queer lives, Team Angelica/The Art Machine are excited to be launching their fresh new audio drama Scooters, Shooters and Shottas: a Curious Tale. Set on a rough council estate in South London, it follows the rowdy antics of Black queer outsiders Kola, Ranksy and Bunni Boi, who dream of breaking big as grime artists. The drama explores violence, masculinity and homophobia, the struggle to pursue creative endeavours, and the socio-economic challenges faced by the Black queer community in London. In a Sex Education meets Top Boy style, it gives a voice to the underrepresented, and fosters discussions about issues faced by the Black LGBTQ+ community. Scooters, Shooters and Shottas: a Curious Tale is a Team Angelica/The Art Machine co-production.

Every event showcases the best of the best for all over the world. But, sometimes, things just don't go ... well … as well as expected. For example, in 1904, in St. Louis. The Olympic Games were paired with the world's fair. And for the first time in modern history, the games took place in the western hemisphere. It was August in St. Louis. It was hot. It was humid. The runners had a rather challenging 24.85-mile course (yes, it's supposed to be 26.2). It was hilly, largely unpaved, and dusty. And then, the race started

MGTOW Sandman Quotes

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 13, 2022 11:26


This video is an update to the video I did a few days ago called ghost in the machine video. I shared the story of the youtube user called Ghost in the Machine. And since then he posted an update about his situation. He no longer lives like Tyler Durden from fight club instead he's opted back into society to some extent and he has some advice for newly minted men going their own way. So now I'm going to read to you what Ghost in the Machine has to say, here goes: "Hi Sandman, when I was leaving my old politically correct life behind in the 1980s, and learning my new Ghosting/MGTOW lifestyle. There were certainly no friends supporting me back then, and little information on the subject. I was on my own. The movie, 'Fight Club', reflects best my mental state and life style at that time, Second, I noticed that some of you confused Ghosting and MGTOW. In its simplest terms, MGTOW means walking away from women, where Ghosting means walking away from society. Ghosting: Some men live in the country and grow their own food, raise their own livestock and use solar panels for electricity. Some also use satellites for internet connections. They are cutting themselves off from society and ghosting in their own way. And, some are married. With regards to MGTOW, some MGTOWs date, but they never ever consider getting married. Some MGTOWs don't want to have anything to do with women at all. MGTOW is not Ghosting. Ghosting is not MGTOW. But, they do have a common thread which is being the social lepers of society, and often men are both MGTOW and Ghosts. And finally, I am still Ghosting today (and MGTOW), but living in a more comfortable manner. I live in a 1983 travel trailer and I drive a 1991 Ford ranger. I purposely choose to live in a travel trailer instead of a home because you might have to move quickly to a new location if society goes to hell. I do have an internet connection. I still believe in a ‘cash only' life style. If I want something, I save up for it and buy it. I never borrow money from banks or on credit cards. I do have one credit card in my name that I needed for the internet, and I pay it off completely each month. I still cook my own meals and avoid eating out. I still don't vote, but I do watch the news. I watch the news not because I care, but because I find it entertaining. I own a home business (a second travel trailer) and I walk 20 steps to work each day (when I decide to get up that is). I made myself a promise back in the 80s that I would never get married again even if I did fall in love with a woman. Well, I did fall in love, and I did get rid of her, fast, staying true to my Ghosting/MGTOW way of life. I was MGTOW long before most of you and am still that way today. The word 'marriage' has not been in my vocabulary since the 80s, it's just a slang term I use now for describing something stupid and nasty. My ‘Walden Pond' days in the 80s, living in that old house, were my ‘basic training' days for my future life. That period of my life was also my rebellion against living a politically correct life, and my rebellion against getting married and reentering society. I know how to Ghost now. I still adhere to most of the Ghosting principles I learned years ago. I would recommend a few years of hardcore Ghosting to anyone for training purposes. And yes, I do have electricity, but I am installing solar panels next year. And, I do play video games.
