Thank you

That would be nice, but I hate them for free.

These days I play my games wither on a switch or an emulator. I like physical games, and if i like a game I’m emulating I try to get a physical copy of it. One of the reasons I like having the physical copy is that it gives me a plausible reason to have the data. Even if I got it through alternative sources game publishers can’t complain, especially if the game is now defunct.

Which i think is part of the problem. Stop Killing Games is a thing for a good reason. If I bought a game, but the only way for me to access it is through dead corporate servers, and links that have been left to rot, why shouldn’t I pirate it? The company itself forced me to. Or worse they brought back their old catalog through a subscription service. Sorry Nintendo, im not paying five bucks a month to play the original Legend of Zelda.

I do miss the manuals. Warcraft had a beautifully illustrated booklet of all the units thst i read backward and forward as a kid. I think the modern digital only environment speaks to an ethos of exploitation endemic to capitalism. The corporate shills control production of the art of video games. And the artists and the people who consume that art are exploited for the sake of publisher profits.

I never knew i had so much in common with Ben Franklin.

No, no, CPR hurts like a motherfucker. Let him enjoy that for a while.

Faith is a hell of a drug

No, not you forget Jesus forgives. And if you have faith you too should forgive all those politicians with Rs next to their name. The Ds of course mean the devil so you should never vote for them no matter how nice they might seem or how much they sound like Jesus’s actual teachings.

Please pray for the business models in this dire time.

It’s a disorder, it is by definition not rational. It is however a business structured around preying on the vulnerable. Watch any sport these days, and you get bombarded with fantasy betting ads in states that allow it and national vroadcasts will have them rven in states that don’t. People who are addicted cannot avoid temptation.

Why is Chinese ai more of a threat? Is the Chinese ai causing mass layoffs at American companies? Is China building ai data centers in our neighborhoods? Is Chinese ai being corn holed into every piece of software im using and making it worse by every metric?

I did not know it was a terrible experience behind the scenes.

I thought it was interesting at the time how it was a conspiracy of like five dudes, but the headline across several news sites was like, “two dudes from California lead conspiracy to assassinate the president.”

Hackers. It is not a good movie. It is not an accurate representation of computer hacking. But it has Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Mathew Lillard, and Fisher Stevens as the villain. The very ridiculous villain. I have not seen a movie quite like it since.

There is no regret in loving this movie, it is a masterpiece.

Yes, im checking for cracks, but when i found a good carton? Yeah, that’s the good shit. It’s all there. We doin this deal.

In my head.

Lose what money? They’re bribing politicians to make their tax bill zero, and that’s on top of the money the government pays them to “do business.” Billionaires are a money pit. They are a drain on the communities they inhabit. And dont even get me started on the job creator bullshit.

The reason they dont move to another country is because the united states itself is a tax haven. Other countries either demand more taxes than the US or are much more insecure because of all the economic inequality caused by not taxing rich people.

Let them go.

Okay? That’s a problem? Oh no theyre gonna leech off the tax base of a red state? Darn! I guess we’ll have to hope some local can steal enough of our wages and commit enough fraud to replace that important role in our society.
