Because those important people are more likely to be in a plane than unimportant people.

How often does Bezos end up in a plane? How often are you in a plane?

Retroarch is love. Retroarch is life.

Fine. First, rename Israel to Lebanon and I’ll let you have your wish.

I feel like going full Snow White with and offering Trump an Apple.

Then again, he doesn’t eat food that was, you know, grown, so….

Now that I had ent considered. There’s importance squared. A second layer.

I’m tired of humans. I’m now identify as one of those gay frogs Alex Jones is so strangely passionate about.

Graphics, I think the most fun I had was PS one, SNES and NES era with a little in PS2 era and the last of it was the Batman arkham games. Not much has sparked true joy since.

The developers are noticing and indie is going retro. Free and paid games are adopting the simpler 3D models and 2D sprites, imposing artificial limitations to have to deal with, intentionally creating developmental challenges that will manifest as stylistic choices later.

It is working.

Scott used to put comics up on his site VGcats. XKCD still does this. You can just make your own site.

With device fingerprinting that’s getting harder to do.

Bear with me…

Megaman legends 2

Silly kids game, lots of fun, early dungeon crawling, but they snuck in heavy philosophy.

There is a scene where the protagonist is recalling long forgotten memories. The last living human, in luxury, in extravagance, in exactly what techbros want today but actually achieved here, has a perfect system, a perfect world, serving his every whim. A world without poverty, disease, suffering.

And he is lonely.

He befriends a bot in this system charged with keeping order. Basically a cop in this world. But he gives him special privileges to be able to “think” in ways the others are restricted from. This one is special. He literally creates a friend.

Then he uses the incredible technological prowess to recreate suffering.

He creates a synthetic recreation of humans, designed to be vulnerable to disease, to hunger, to suffering. They are subject to pressures that simply delay their deaths. And through doing so they achieve meaning and happiness. They exist.

The master watches them, like fish in an aquarium, for generations. Eventually, he goes down to earth to fully experience them. Thousands of years of disease free living have basically robbed this last human of an immune system. He is vulnerable there. No force in the universe can take him out. Man has become god. And yet, he goes down there anyway.

To experience the smell of a dinner bearing prepared.

He dies. Before he does, he released the bot that brought him down to earth from the rules of the system that governed him and told him to burn it all down. Perfection was not a remedy, it was a curse. And then he dies as the bot holds him in his hands, watching him fade away.

This was a game for children. And I understood way too much of it.

Microsoft: we’ll put your personal devices in a fucking HOA!

Apple: same, but we’ll mow the fucking grass.

Linux: fuck off. You are all ghetto trash. Here are the tools to address your problems. Use them or don’t. I don’t care.

Google: ….people still like chrome and YouTube right?

Netflix: piracy is for nerds! We will curate our library so you always have to find something else to watch, since what you paid for isn’t going to be there tomorrow.

Apple: we have TV shows too and they don’t disappear!

Amazon: but nobody watches you. With us, we have free shipping and hazbin hotel. We are basically glitch!

Glitch: the fuck you are. Watch knights of Guinevere to see what everyone actually thinks of all of you.

Me: …did I accidentally quadruple dose my adderall today?

Mam, you have officially entered your bog witch era. This is one of the more glorious periods of your life.

TACO time again?

Fuck it, let’s roll out the fallout.

With that country’s equivalent of American congress….

Maybe don’t channel Charlie Kirk.

Last game I got was gravity circuit. Play stable is not new. Mechanics are not new. Graphics are not new. Costs are not high.

I love it.

Things just need to be good, not expensive.

What the uppity hell is formal about Mac and cheese?

I mean, sure but he has to use a splint to do it.

Xenogears/xenosaga. I liked them. Xenogears had a bad disc 2. Xenosaga had a bad episode 2. Saga also went overboard with the needlessly sexualized robots. But it was fun, the story was interesting, and by episode 3 the graphics were really good. Music was good, characters were enjoyable.

All I remember liking from episode 2 through was jr charging a religious zealot screaming “you damn bitch” while firing at her. It was such a weird scene I was laughing my ass off. Oh and the American censorship had a scene where a little girl going through a breakdown scooping blood from her mother and trying to put it back in the corpse, except there’s no blood in the US version so WTF are we supposed to think is happening here? Ep 2 was horrible.

You need to get it with chicken or pulled pork in it. Mmmmmm
