If it wasn’t for Handsome Boy Modeling School, I’d still have sixty dollars.

  • From my youth:

    Mega Man 2
    Super Metroid
    Fallout

    Current, as games have grown as a medium:

    Borderlands
    NieR Automata
    Baldur’s Gate 3

    My favorite type of games were really always the story-rich non-linear storytelling of the Baldur’s Gate/Fallout style but in my youth I was far more attracted to Fallout than Baldur’s Gate. However, there are no modern iterations of Fallout in the same style. New Vegas is fun and all, but what I would give for a modern fallout in the style of BG3.






  • You control a character with the keyboard and a tiny moon with your mouse (it will also be playable with a controller). Explore a small open world and uncover secrets and mechanics hiding right under your nose. Use the moon to manipulate creatures and the environment and explore a tiny open world. Curiosity, knowledge, and discovery of game mechanics are the primary ways to progress.

    From the announcement in /r/godot on reddit.


  • Anyone who was peddling the whole “Vance doesn’t have the charisma” charade is lying to themselves. It was never about charisma. The Republicans lined up this way behind Dubya as well and smeared Kerry, a veteran with actual service history, while backing Bush who failed to even finish his term as an Air National Guardsman and probably skipped his physical because he was busy snorting cocaine off a hookers ass.

    It has never been about charisma, and that should be fucking evident because Trump has none. Bush did the same thing that Trump did: He used the current political climate to allow them to find someone to pin the idea of Otherness on. Post 9/11 it was anyone who was even vaguely Islamic. The followers got to hate freely, and they loved it. They are being given the same permission all over again, to hate freely.

    Vance will give them that same permission to hate. That’s all it was ever about.

    Why would there be? They massively profit off of its existence.

    Only barely 3% of the Desktop OS market share is Linux. (That’s regular consumers)

    Something like 80-90% of corporate servers are Linux. (That’s big business, not even just big tech)

    Sometimes I think Open Source is unintentionally the largest transfer of wealth generated by volunteers from the working class to the wealthy in history. The corporations get off the shelf software they can run for free and they don’t have to pay a license for and they make money using it.
