I'm not here because I care what those others think

The sheer duplicity of it all makes me want to ralph my guts out directly onto a youth pastor.

I can’t blame them for not understanding the significance of human communications infrastructure, but I wish they wouldn’t set up camp in poorly tended mailboxes. Granted, ants are worse about this by some distance. (I’ve also had to deal with small birds while delivering)

All things considered, though, they’re cool if you give them an appropriate berth

If memory serves they used something water soluble, didn’t they?

Nick Fuentes hires worst hired goons ever seen, asked to leave club

Yeah, it's interesting. I was just kind of a RationalWiki type then so I already kind of broke left, mostly just seems like it's some of the bigger figures that broke right?

I hear TJ ended up leaning more into the left politics. Not sure about that, though, haven't really thought of the guy in a while.

One of the things I'll continue to say I liked about Obama was the gestures towards lightening up on Cuba. Not that they'd add up to anything, but hell, it seemed like the cold war status quo might get left behind to me at that point.

It's a shame a lot of the NuAtheists ended up breaking right because I can relate with wanting to irritate the shit out of these people at every possible opportunity

He's got better politics than I'd expect of a host of a broadcast TV show on a major network, but he's not really anyone I care that much about either. I don't really watch TV, and (more importantly) these personalities have expiration dates. At one point I liked Colbert but he became quaint in the face of Chapo; eventually Chapo themselves became quaint as a broader swath of podcasts did the things they did better. Eventually they too will become quaint as my interests move elsewhere and i crave increasingly outwardly belligerent media.

Seibu Kaihatsu's Dynamite Duke (1989), a pretty novel hybrid Cabal-like/Beat-'em-up with a lot of love put into it. The arcade version's got a pretty slick art direction, the environmental destruction vfx rock, and the animation's pretty slick. The whole thing's got that passion project charm to it. Unfortunately, Cabal clones were only really in vogue in that late '80s/early '90s space, and the beat 'em up gameplay isn't fleshed out or consistently applied enough to be satisfying in a post-Final Fight, post-Streets of Rage world. I'd like to see something like it, but there's no way to bring Duke into the world of modern game design practices without drastic reformulation at a minimum.

Notably, Seibu had really high hopes for Duke, being a passion project and a intended magnum opus. Unfortunately, lukewarm reception brought in poor returns, the company slipped into dire straits, and they were forced to make something simpler and lower stakes as a hail mary. That title - a simple, Toaplan-esque shooter nobody had any real faith in - turned out to be Raiden, which would become a darling in arcades, pushing 17,000 units solds worldwide in the first year after release, and becoming the fifth highest grosser on the Japanese market in 1991. (Beating out some offerings from much bigger players like Konami)

I'm glad I told some right winger I was gonna kill and eat his kids to get banned on purpose tbh

Then what the hell were the alter-globaliazation guys doing 20 years ago?

It's like they're trying to destroy everyone's trust in them. Can't even toe the whole "Villain with good publicity" line effectively.

Oh god these types are gonna drift right and become Neocons 2, aren't they

Where's that one Sweet Caroline remix from forever ago with the drop that sounded like a bass boosted version of the "You fucked up" noise from some game show? Wait a second here it is

Also I'd be double fisting Malört and blasting "Cortar Todo" by Zu

I hear Boots Riley got in touch with Kurvitz. I’m eager to see what his Death Stranding ends up being.

We need an American supercomputer, a Chinese supercomputer, and a Russian supercomputer. Once we have those, we can make the dreAM real

In essence, the church (or rather, whichever particular subfaction of a sect has the strength or finesse to make their pick happen)
