There's a Deus Ex update mod that just came out. I really miss how the modding scene was basically the indie scene back in the day. I loved making levels.

Jokes on you, I've worked all the lefty places and know how to escape.

It's like anything else. What do you want to do? Well you have to deal with this BS.

That is an interesting thing. I nicknamed it Corporate Socialism. It's when the government and a company are hard to see the difference. The stadiums in Seattle were paid for by Microsoft and others. You can tell what was paid for by the big companies in the area and regular planners.

I have a lot of stories. The big trick is to not get caught up. The art scene has a lot of collapse, so when you see the signs, jump ship and do something else. The theater or show gets new management and the problem people aren't there anymore.

Biggest problem was dating. I now have a thing for girls that are probably lesbians. Designed a computer system while dressed as an obscure star wars character? Oh, you do the theater scene! Awesome .. you're probably a lesbian.

Then everyone thought I was dating my best friend. We're both straight, but he's kind of effeminate. It was a huge joke to us.

It was a minefield and the riots and closures meant I couldn't stay in the area and have a job. So, I took my wife and moved to Florida.

I should point out one of these friends is a trans homeless guy who asked me for money on Facebook. Has a rendering rig in his tent.

Wait... None of them actually made games, they just stood by and ordered others to make them? I think MSFT will be ok.

What I don't understand is why we don't have a flight simulator of the PNW for cars. I would love to do the cascade pass in a Forza game.

I wish you could choose a side, and watch as Capone responds to it.

Lynnwood!? That's the IT guy capitol of the area. It used to be amazing during fourth of July. So many fireworks it sounded like a war movie till past midnight.

Then they moved in all the cheap apartments and housing for people who got kicked out in Seattle by Chinese investment...

I would happily read the harem adventure of Moishe in My Lost Bar mitzvah

Meanwhile in Seattle, I saw people driving on their own with mask on.

If you work for Disney, you work for the church of the mouse basically. You do the work because you love Disney that much and not following the newest orders makes you a sinner.

Trying to get rid of woke while maintaining that feeling of almost religious zeal would be very difficult.

I think they do want to segregate, it's just fluffed up to sound like the opposite.

The creature that lives in the sewers and eats little boys while offering balloons? Wait, which one was I talking about?

Anything Disney related in Florida will have a traffic jam that never really goes away. I sort of understand wanting to work from home from that.

That was my first realization that something was off. The glitch that allowed same sex marriages was a big joke in Japan. It was part of an ongoing set of jokes and references about men in women's clothing.

The glitch was fixed, and all of these websites with people who were in Japan and reported on Japanese culture did not talk about this. Instead, they pushed their politics. That was a huge problem that couldn't be explained easily.
