We are living in great times for small studio and indie games!

I feel like every other news article I've read today has been some sort of layoff.

I'd say Star Trek tends to be "above average", especially when it considers how people might interact with technology in the future.

...though i do hope star trek's wrong about a near-apocalyptic world war coming before world peace/unification

It has a little more gameplay than past telltale games with its dispatch sections (a bit of strategy, deciding which heroes go on what calls), but otherwise you are right, it's a fancy choose your own adventure game. They have done some interesting things with superhero tropes so far (e.g., superheroes working out of a corporate call center), but it's a bit early to tell if they'll subvert some of my expectations for the "final boss".

As soon as this phone kicks the bucket, I'm getting grapheneOS. (Sadly, my current phone is too old to be supported)

I would be OK with losing out on random novelty hotdog-flavored chips.

That being said, you could get around this problem by focusing on staples (rice, flour, vegetables, salt, etc.) since the vast majority of folks don't really have a preference on this sort of thing, aside from allergies/gluten free.

As this continues, I would highly recommend folks support their local food pantries as they are able. Cash is better, but there's nothing wrong with a food drive to collect cans from your neighbors. Some pantries also accept fresh produce, if you have some left from your garden this year.

I was about to say, almost sounded like you were speaking from experience XD You'll be the first suspect if a supervillain with your powers ever pops up

It would be neat to have some sort of public survey/contest to name these

I wouldn't rule out things being better in, say, 100 years, but it would take a lot of luck and effort to get to that point.

You mean we're supposed to actually read the articles before talking about them?! ;)
