      No, we just live in the world where the military industrial complexes based in multiple different governments invested massively in mobile communications technologies that allow for your location and any audio picked up by the microphone in your mobile phone to be tracked and recorded remotely and invested billions into companies intent on funnelling the majority of Internet traffic through a small number of highly surveilled choke points that ensured that in the event of revolutionary uprising misleading propaganda can be easily disseminated and any prominent organisers can be locked up in internment camps without trial under "anti terror" legislation and engineered a situation where children born after a certain date would never know what it was like to live without at least one nearby device constantly bugging their conversations and tracking their movements and relationships with their peers at all times.

      I would've actually played some of the games, but there's no emulators for this thing so you need the physical hardware. I checked the available listings, and let's just say I'd need a LOT more Patreon money to justify a purchase like that lol. If you're curious about the games, Lazy Game Reviews has a pretty comprehensive video on the system itself and shows off a few of its games

    Hello The cellar my name is Isaiah and I have something important to say to you. God loves you and like any father he wants to help you and keep you safe especially from the devil. But I am not just speaking to you about this I am also talking to your fans about this. God loves you all and especially in the times we our living in we are in need of him more than ever. But the choice is ultimately yours have a nice day Shalom Shalom.
