When I think "cult" I think poisoned Kool Aid. And then I bum myself out because they would never do something that kills themselves that quickly.

I agree.

SpaceX should be doing everything in their power to launch refugees and asylum seekers into space.

DeSantis stopped listening to his supporters and started listening to the geniuses behind Jeb's run for presidency.

It is designed to stop things like Chernobyl

LOL.

All your homes were burned to the ground but, don't worry, at least we didn't have a Chernobyl nuclear accident on your island that lacks a nuclear reactor!

Be thankful, bigots, because you can still sell your land to Blackrock!

A lot of these companies also make "game sticks" that are basically Fire Sticks but for retro games. Plenty of legit companies like Intel make these linux devices that you can configure to behave the same way with Emulation Station + RetroArch, but even these shady pre-configured things are pretty optimized for the gaming experience, are set up ready to go out of the box, and are pretty cheap, especially compared to the work and money to get something like MiSTeR running or even a Raspberry Pi with the false economy of having to also pick up a power supply, sd card, cable adapters, and heatsinking case to keep it from throttling.

I set aside a lot of room personally for real games on real hardware, but that's only because I have the legacy of a lifetime of collecting backing me. I wouldn't advocate anyone get into real hardware given today's costs and availability problems. Getting into, say, SNES and a decent top-25 games collection will easy cost you a grand or more. And you'll still need to have some skills to replace the cart batteries and recap the console when (not if) it starts failing. Hopefully you didn't get someone else's soldering & mod "training" console...

Another neat thing about modern emulation: achievements. Dedicated fans put up memory watches in the emulated system to look for conditions that fire off achievements. Cringe for some, sure, but it's just another way to enjoy your games that simply wasn't there at the time.

Also, not to miss the forest for the trees, but in Mega Man X charge up the Barrel weapon, put the shield around you, and just go straight up. Don't need to alternate between walls, just hold left and jump jump jump.

There are a lot of underappreciated games on handhelds and, well, I'd rather play them on a proper screen with a detached controller. Even if that's not what the developers envisioned. At least with book time I can just put it on a desk and I don't have to hold it the whole time like I would have to with a handheld gaming device.

How many more re-releases until she's replaced with a sassy black voice actress?

Unless you buy that burner in cash from the next town over, private party, without sending an email or making a call to the seller, it's a false sense of protection. Even then, could be a fed handing out pre-flagged IMEIs.

Not trying to scare anyone, but if you want to play the normie social media game, be aware that this alone will not protect you.

Too many people walking around with camera phones, too many surveillance cameras that actually work and are better than 1fps.

Meanwhile, out in the backwoods, no one can watch you start a fire unless you're really unlucky (or dumb, like that Italy wildfire dude)

It works for Canada.

And by "works" I mean a completely weaponized media brainwashing the public to accept nothing less than full turnkey tyranny.

On the other hand, doesn't this then lead to "procedurally generated content" isn't copyrightable?

Hot chicks are still in games. Unfortunately it's straight up porno games and not just spicy regular games.

In looking over stuff in Operation Mockingbird and related works, it's pretty clear there was a directive in Hollywood to make US government look competent and all powerful. Games that pull inspiration from such movies would, in turn, keep that stance.

A small group of actors with the permissions and power of the government are able to facilitate great change, as we are seeing today, but as a whole, if private companies have sqrt(number of employees) of actual productive people, government has to be cube root at a minimum,

Keep waiting, the brass balls required to speak this frankly has been bred out of every American capable of being listed on a ballot.

The usual complaints for lefty memes apply, of course.

But can we talk about the corner? "Please seek help." We're talking about people that will hold you responsible for something your ancestors did before you were even born. There is nothing anyone can do to get off either antifa green light lists or the government domestic terror lists. It's the post-apocalypse radio message of "we have food and shelter here" but people going get killed and organs harvested or whatever.

Government:

  1. Confirm problem exists (some people are molesting kids)
  2. Explore how to exacerbate problem within existing legal framework (increase population of child molesters)
  3. Change public policy to promote that exacerbation (import child molesters, indoctrinate public to promote the development of new molesters)
  4. Propose surrendering rights as a solution to the problem (ban encryption as a means to "stop" the influx of child molesters we created)

Weird, the moment the leftist virus infects the company the quality of its products dive bombs into the ground.

Just another coincidence I guess.

Fuck you. Back-channel communication and coordination is bullshit and has always been bullshit.

And who's going to harvest? Individuals are going to spend half a day by hand picking what grew on their land? With modern mechanized harvesting half a day could do 50+ acres easy. How much losses will be had because they are unable to use pesticides? They'll turn into weed seed beds in just a few seasons because herbicides are banned too.

It would only work with government forcing people to do it and stealing that excess production to make it worth enforcing the directives.
