FTX’s Cybersecurity Was Hilariously Bad
The internet is (hilariously) predicting 2023 trends
Listening to Jimmy Buffett unironically will be in next year if I have anything to say about it. Smash-burgers, however, will be out.
With 2022 winding down, the Extremely Online have taken it upon themselves to predict the trends of 2023 — what’s in, what’s out, and what will (maybe) happen. Like anything on the internet, there’s a mix of people posting their sincere predictions and using the trend to fire off a few jokes. In fact, most folks, like yours truly, posted a mashup of both real predictions and jokes. It’s up to you to figure out which is which.
The posts were funny and good and, in some cases, actually kind of helpful in thinking about the year to come. For instance, some of the pop culture predictions, while hilarious, do seem kind of reasonable.
OK, honestly, it seems like some of these could definitely happen as well.
Some of these are let’s say…overlapping…with other viral posts, but these are some specific predictions.
And this one has a few that will definitely happen.
The general predictions were great, but so were the calls on what would be in and out in 2023.
These sorts of posts are all over Twitter and TikTok, taking over the internet heading into the new year. I’ll be interested to see what actually comes true. Personally, I am very invested in making Jimmy Buffett and frozen drinks a thing, so, you know, please help spread the word.
Park Beyond’s tools make it easy to craft hilariously dangerous rollercoasters
Park Beyond, an upcoming theme park management sim in the vein of a juiced up Rollercoaster Tycoon, is trying to balance two slightly opposed teams in its target audience. There are people who love doing the management bits – the bean-counting, optimising the amount of salt on fries to make people thirsty and buy more drinks, paying close attention to demographics and average spends and that sort of kidney*. Then there are people who want to design a park full of cool-ass rides and different themed zones, a true magical wonderland. Inside this Park Beyond are two wolves, in other words, and each needs a different but equally robust set of tools to wrangle.
After some hands on with an early build of Park Beyond, I have a little more faith that Limbic Entertainment are going to be able to pull it off. The toolset for building a rollercoast is, in particular, impressive. It’s never been so easy to make a ride that breaks both the laws of physics and the laws of health and saftey. The coasters in this game are an absolute menace. In a good way.
