What would be your periodization of the “golden age of gaming”? Mine would start at the introduction of the consoles like the N64 and PS1, and the release Windows 95…then it would end with the coming of microtransactions. So that would be 2006 with the introduction of that horse armor in Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

This is not to say that I don’t enjoy any games released after that though :p I built a gaming pc in 2011 mostly so I could play Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Wait till they hear about Project A119.

I’m really hoping they might someday build a space-borne solar power station at the Sol-Earth L1 Lagrange Point. Or a telescope on the far side of Luna. Anything’s possible when you don’t have the brainworms of neoliberal capitalism holding you back.

They are sad creatures. Don’t worry about them. Their opinions are wrong.

I really thought regular-ass people would have had enough of this capitalism thing after the pandemic started, but here we still fucking are today.

I don’t bother. Our time is better spent figuring out legal ways to take as much money away from them as possible, not “engaging” in “discourse” with them. 🙄💀

A crowd-sourced app that maps all of the homeless people and tent encampments in every neighborhood of your city. Like snapchat.

Adult supremacy is a real thing. While it is very prominent among American Baby Boomers, it can afflict people of any generation. I believe we as adults have a responsibility to guide and protect youth, not forcefully shape them into some predetermined mold.

Frankly it infuriates me when I see somebody of my age (early 30s) acting just like a damned Boomer and complaining about “kids these days”, when those kids are just responding to pressures of a world that adults have forced upon them. The only kind of youth I truly dislike are the alt-right kind.

I cannot speak for any other country, but the US public school experience is designed to beat the kids down until they accept their place within the capitalist system by the time they’re 18 years old. Any education that happens in those places is incidental. They’re primarily meant for schooling, not education.

After 9/11, the shittiest people in the world called me the T word for being brown and having a foreign-sounding name. In the subsequent years they hated me for my obvious neurodivergence, my lack of misogynistic tendencies, my refusal to accept the alt right, my insistence on wearing an N95, and now my identity as an nb trans person. This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Every year they get more mad and I only have more middle fingers to give.

Nah that’s too hard. Let’s all just worship some billionaire and when anything bad happens blame some other country. /sarcasm

I’m not sure what normie libs would call me. I’m a South Asian-descended US-born person who moved to “canada” a few years ago, with no intention of going back…maybe if total decolonization happens in my lifetime. So am I an expat? Immigrant? Transplant? If I had to choose I would go with “exile”. Fuck libs and their labels.
