When we got cable TV and proper broadband internet with it, the previous company relying on the local monopoly got extremely pissed. Every of their services costed the multitude of what competitors, even on phone line, could offer. Most outrageous was ADSL. Competitor ADSL started at HUF5 000 for 384k download speed, topped at HUF15 000 for 2M, per month. The local provider? It started at HUF20 000, for a laughable 256k download speed. Explanation? The parent company thought it was a luxury, because you could just send a hand-written mail instead of the e-mail, get a dish TV with HBO and a tape recorder with a timer instead of torrenting movies, etc.

Give it a year at max. I have a feeling that by the end of this year, a lot of GOP members will publicly call black people "N****rs" while shaming those who don't, and a PragerU video titled "You're just a N****r, deal with it" featuring Matt Walsh will drop onto YouTube. Any backlash will be deboosted by most social media, which also stop moderating the word all across the globe.

Should I finally write a game for my game engine?

Should I test its existing functionalities?

No, it's time to add a physics subsystem (which I'll be needing for some of the games anyways).

It still missing something: A hand hammering in the wedge labelled as "fashy billionaires who want computers to function like in their favorite sci-fi".
