Well, several recent studies from the University of Ganondorf reveal the relationship between video games and the Malice they cause.</p><p>The first of their studies: &#8220;The Goomba Head Smasher Phenomenon Examined,&#8221; reveals the connection between teens who played Mario, and an increased likelihood of suffering a head injury. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://jbryant.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://jbryant.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>According to the study (which you can trust! they did extensive research!), people who played Mario in their teens were 50% more likely to suffer a head injury, and 80% more likely to rescue a princess from a turtle with spikes on its back in adulthood. The study also found that if individuals played Luigi in Super Mario World 2, they were almost guaranteed to become an Olympic High Jump Silver medalist.</p><p>The second study, &#8220;Galagan Engineering: A Wave of Depression,&#8221; purports that people who played Galaga in their teens were more likely to become an engineer, and 90% more likely to subsequently develop depression as engineers. The study concedes that Galaga may not be the root cause of the depression, and it could be the monumental amounts of homework required to become an engineer, but statistically a relationship is indicated.</p><p>A third study, &#8220;Frogger and Road Deaths,&#8221; reveals that teens who played Frogger would be less sympathetic to road deaths, nearing the point of complete apathy. The study&#8217;s participants were shown individuals who had been run over and suffered truly gruesome injuries involving prolific pixelated blood.</p><p>Truly, horrifying.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://jbryant.substack.com/p/new-study-shows-tetris-increases?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://jbryant.substack.com/p/new-study-shows-tetris-increases?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p>The fourth, and final study, &#8220;Tetris Bricks People,&#8221; stated that people who played Tetris at any point in their life were 100% more likely to hit someone with a brick. Here&#8217;s what one of the study participants had to say:</p><div class="pullquote"><p>&#8220;Look man, I was doing fine, setting up for a Tetris as you do. I kept laying down the pieces, waiting for a line piece, until I was nearly two blocks from the top, so I had to cover the hole up. THAT&#8217;S WHEN A GODDAMN LINE PIECE SHOWS UP. I TOOK THE BRICK AND THREW IT AT THE SUPERVISOR. I MEAN REALLY, HOW DIFFICULT IS IT JUST TO GET A LINE PIECE? COME ON!&#8221; </p></div><p>As you can see, video games can be murderous. Between head injuries and apathetic road killers, I think we should all avoid these &#8220;gamers.&#8221; Who knows what the future will hold with these new, more terrifying games like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and (<em>shudders) </em>Minecraft?</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://jbryant.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Tech News Network!

These safety features are wide-ranging and do much to protect the user from unsafe conditions. We assure absolute safety here at Apple.&#8221;</p><p>The iCamera is very stylish; an Apple blue border is applied on every one of their photos, so anyone can see you&#8217;ve spent an obscene amount of money; the border becomes an ugly bright green on phones that are not Apple-related products.</p><p>Another feature to help identify who&#8217;s up-to-date is a fading of the blue on the border of the photos over time.

Luke&#8217;s suggestion is absolutely magnificent; it helps give our users the ability to see what type of iCamera everyone has and not induce FOMO.&#8221;</p><p>The iCamera is scheduled for release in 2024, alongside the iPhone 16 as a dual launch. The initial pricing is rumored to be around $3,000, but with such a high-quality device, it may even go for more. In any case, I am looking forward to the Apple iCamera. I can&#8217;t afford it, but I will pretend like I can until it comes out. The Apple iCamera, a new, revolutionary camera.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://jbryant.substack.com/p/the-icamera/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://jbryant.substack.com/p/the-icamera/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://jbryant.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Tech News Network!

Now that professional programmers have been rendered obsolete, IT professionals have already created every network ever needed, and engineers&#8217; critical thinking skills have been extracted and utilized by executives, what could possibly be cut to raise the sacred bottom line? With the rising pay of Janitorial positions (the highest reaching well over seven figures), they have become a prime target of automation. </p><p>Enter RoombaGPT: the new A.I. Sanitation Solution. </p><p>RoombaGPT, an incredible innovation in the already impressive A.I. market, is purported to clean at least as fast as the average janitor, and is ten times more efficient at sweeping up joy. RoombaGPT utilizes Machine Learning technology to recognize patterns of excessive dirt, dust, grime, and personality. </p><p>But cleaning is only the beginning of how it shines. </p><p>RoombaGPT comes equipped with generative A.I. technology, allowing it to create a near perfect replica of your now ex janitor. It can mimic the personality, gestures, features, relationships, thoughts, and opinions of whomever you wish! RoombaGPT is THE perfect partner at any waste disposal management facility.</p><p>The public approval of this product has skyrocketed in the New York Metropolitan Area, a typically anti-A.I. locale. &#8220;Ah, you know how it is. We were going out the other night to help the suppliers, and suddenly Bob had cold feet,&#8221; said Tony Spazzatura, &#8220;RoombaGPT helped Bob take a nice long nap.&#8221;</p><p>RoombaGPT is the future, and Janitors are just the beginning. PaintGPT and SewerGPT, the painter and sewer cleaner you didn&#8217;t ask for, are in the works. And while concerns may surround this new advancement in A.I., its benefits promise to sweep away the controversy and bring about a cleaner bottom line.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://jbryant.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://jbryant.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
