Wait. He hasn’t crumbled into dust or whatever these “Offputting guy with shit politics who has an inexplicable army of irritating tween fans” youtubers do when they’re past their shelf life? I thought he was irritating when I was in high school. That was…what, thirteen years ago now?

Terry Schaivo all over again (But worse)

The national level party’s pigheaded “seniority above all else”, “don’t cut in line” thinking really needs to go.

The original System Shock is one of my all-time favorite games, and the remake really did it justice.

On that note, a bit of a deep cut - Osman/Cannon-Dancer is a beautiful fever dream of a game I wish got more recognition. It’s a beat 'em up involving a martial artist tasked with killing a manmade god, thrust into a borderline incomprehensible web of betrayal as his former comrades all turn on him. The english release is kind of rough, which makes it actually incomprehensible at times. It’s also a sort-of sequel to Capcom’s Strider. I’d recommend it to any fan of EYE: Divine Cybermancy for the vibes alone.

They tell us here to buy american products…and then all the american products suck.

Testing new code in production…

The Dick Portillo Exclusion Zone

The world needs more Robin Hoods and Ishikawa Goemon. Given increasing inequity and corruption without any real hope at a systemic level, Material conditions are right for the return of the outlaw hero, I think.

No, but give it to me anyways because I’d do something incredibly funny with it (Devote the remainder of my life to gaining access to a bunch of influential people and politicians so I can tell them to eat shit to their face, resting assured that they can’t levee any meaningful consequences against me)

These people didn’t win on their own strength, they won because Dem party leadership doesn’t have what it takes. The current crop should have ousted and replaced after the embarrassment that was the Bush win and the Iraq War.

Ah, so this is one of those “ironic saying got inverted into being unironic” scenarios like with the Bootstraps or Bad Apples sayings.

‘00s pop culture fucking sucked

The fact that he has even a crumb of clout is quite possibly the single most damning indictment of the concept of meritocracy.

Give me the PowerBook G5, Timmy

Yup. Entirely passively powered - no batteries at all. Pretty ingenious stuff.

Did somebody say something about an assaassin known as a strider?

Whatever happens happens. Don’t really care that much anymore.

Quite possibly one of the dumbest uses of nation state clout in human history

I actually still mess with diskettes on a fairly frequent basis, but it’s more of a hobby thing than a serious use thing
