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.

Yeah, dealing with customers is one thing but eighteen years of internet politics (and their real life counterpart) have just fucking broiled me. Not gonna stop, though, so I need to find some kind of new strength.

Resentment/fear of the right and the heteronormative social structure they (and to some extent all people) uphold, mostly. They’ve treated me like shit my whole life for multiple reasons, and will continue to do so no matter what I do.

I’ll be honest, I don’t want to not hate straight people and neurotypicals, but I probably need to.

It’s not that I’m better than them, it’s that I’m incompatible with their structures.

There are people I like, and I used to like most of them more, but after nearly 20 years of putting up with the right’s much stronger, much more persistent shit I’ve just been worn down in general. The positive matters less to the point of slipping beneath my notice, the negative matters even more and grows to dominate my life.

Compassion for others where it isn’t useful as a bludgeon against the right.

If it’s a home console and can render hardware accelerated textured polygons with a display resolution greater than 480i, it isn’t retro. Anyone who thinks i’m open to arguments on this can go stick their head in a pig

Hoping I get to someday. Midwestern guys making fun of bad movies were foundational for modern internet comedy

I’m too totally alienated from (and generally afraid of) offline society to ever really have a niche. I live if I live, I die if i die.

On the other hand, I work in delivery and that’s a pretty collapse resistant occupation.

Mirroring behavior’s become a lot more common lately, sometimes in a naked tit-for-tat fashion. I was ahead of the curve.

Regrettably, though, mere imitation will never succeed - As the dems fail by chasing right wing policy and discarded neocons, so too will the directionless adoption of belligerence for belligerence’s sake. Shit, that’s how I ended up here.

Killer7. Been meaning to get around to this one for the better part of seventeen years and boy howdy I wish I’d done it sooner. This one was a pretty clear inspiration for the Hotline Miami games, and i’m a big fan of those.

Yeah, I’m a bara connoisseur

Yeah, that was the culmination of over a century’s work and various precursor rebellions by various players. We don’t have that kind of momentum, and at this point i’m starting to suspect americans are useless on a psychological level (myself included) so i’m not sure anyone could get it together enough to make anything effective happen.

Some say there’s no more heroes, but the longer I look at the players of the world the more certain I am there never were any to begin with.

My big question mark is what the way out is. Carrying out some entryist project on the reps is a no-go, and I would genuinely be surprised if third parties ever came to represent a force worth taking seriously in my lifetime.

We’re in a tight spot. A real tight spot. The entire status quo has practically been engineered to preclude anything significant changing.

Getting some seriously bad vibes from this whole thing. It’s like they’ve found some way to inoculate people against even the barest sort of solidarity- I fear the coalition politics that won even the handful of concessions we got like obergefell might be dead. Granted, that’s exactly what i thought last time this happened too.

Someone’s trying to drive wedges, and it’s working. Divide and conquer by playing up (or creating) animus against one another. Clear as day yet people are walking right into it. What changed?

Brace and Liz are my favorite Manzai duo

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