He’s important as a convergence point and a binding agent for many of America’s problems, but it’s also crucial to keep in mind that all this didn’t start with him and it clearly didn’t end with him.

Tell her it’s good when it happens to white people

Nah, I wanna become the monster I’m trying to fight. They got their whack at it, why shouldn’t I?

The radio said “No, Alex You are the neocons.”

And then, Alex was a has-been.

FWIW CompuPro targeted the enterprise and scientific markets. Something like this wouldn’t be something a individual home/hobbyist/small business user would be buying.

Really more of a hardware RAM disk, but CompuPro offered a board called the M-drive for their S-100 ecosystem in the early '80s. 512k of DRAM-based storage; one board cost $1,895 in 02/1983. The potential existed to use up to eight boards in one system, which would give the user a 4MB RAM disk.

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?

Okay so what is he - or anyone - gonna do about it? It’s obvious we have a problem, so what’s the prescription?

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.

Someone called us The Jerry Springer Triangle a few weeks ago and I’ve had it stuck in my head ever since

Americans are weird because they constantly badger people for being “too PC” and “soy” or whatever, then end up being insufferable prudes who blanch at the idea of saying “hell” or “fuck”. (Not to mention what they think of anyone who actually lives outside their mores and norms)

The adoption of plastics as a “one size fits all” solution was a horrible error

I hate these people in ways words can’t even articulate.

Testing new code in production…

A fan translation exists for the NES version of JESUS. It’s… alright. Kind of cribs Alien in the way that SNATCHER cribs Blade Runner. From what I hear of the sequel, the art’s great but the writing has similar issues with being kind of shallow.

As an additional factoid, the first game’s full title is “J.E.S.U.S.: The Dreadful Bio-Monster.” (J.E.S.U.S. is a space station that only factors into the first five minutes of the game)

Night Striker relies too hard on the homing missiles as a source of difficulty in the later stages.
