People out here trying to gotcha Claude like it’s a 60s sci-fi antagonist and they are a starship captain with an unnerving amount of bare chest exposed for a professional work uniform.

If there is one thing that skeeves me out about land lords its the weird, almost fetish-level, pleasure they get over holding the power to decide who is "good for the neighborhood" and who isn't. Like the money side of it, I get it.

That part, though, is kinda creepy.

sometimes, people in the retro community try to tell me that LCD panels are getting so good, that with like an HDR 8K display you could "accurately simulate" a CRT and not be able to tell the difference.

The curmudgeon in me thinks "You've never seen a CRT have you?"

they are talking land lords... they only like homeownership when a handful of people own all the homes and get to decide who lives where

This low-key makes me feel better about the steamy, smutty romance novel I stole when I was like 14 from a bookstore at the mall. At least my shoplifting was because I was horny. Some of y’all are out here stealing crackers cause you think society owes you a snack.

Or to put it a different way, I cannot think of any other segment on square one, I’m sure it existed and they were good. But mathnet was the only one that stuck with me. I still drop some mathnet quotes every once in a while, and I don’t think I’ve ever had anybody give me “the nod”.

I was a Be An Interplanetary Spy kid back in the day.

If I had unlimited money, I’d buy the rights to it and develop it into a twelve season arc of a young adult sci-fi kids show based on it.

Instead I’m working on an MS-DOS interactive fiction inspired by it.

if only there were multiple points in the animation process where you can give notes and tie down the story without a lot of time lost instead of after the movie is largely finished. alas there is just simply not a way to avoid this😔😔😔

Still could go either way, tbh.

Somebody just said to me “Bungie has made broken economy in Marathon. I’m always broke, everyone is stealing shit from me. Even when I’m not I’m just dunking resources at rich mega corp and I still never have any, and I have to do another run”

And I was like…

BROTHER! You are SOOO close! 🤏

Of course you shouldn’t believe the Pixar jerk that they keep cutting queerness out of their movies for fear of forcing family conversations or whatever.

This is Disney. It’s money. It’s fear of losing money from weird bigot adults, with queer people perceived as not enough a market gain for them.

Old Skies on Steam A time travel adventure spanning two hundred years! Dive into the past with time agent Fia Quinn as she embarks on seven trips through time. History is up for grabs, from the speakeasies of Prohibitio...

Old Skies is winning a bunch of awards right now (just took Best Story at the Adventure Game Hotshots, for example), and if you haven't played it, you should, even if you're picky about point-and-click adventures. It's really pretty special within this genre.

I quickly found out that is *not* the kind of access to liberty Libertarians and/or Republicans stood for.

So yea, whenever I hear someone say they are “apolitical” it is a massive red flag. At best your are a self-interested narcissistic. At worst you are zero-sum-game, pedophiliac fascist.

I thought the purpose of government was to try to enhance the freedom and liberty of its most vulnerable and least privileged individuals, because as they become more free (to learn, worship, grow, teach) we all become more free.

When I was younger and more naïve, I identified as a Libertarian, especially as I transitioned out of the evangelical Christian faith of my childhood into adulthood. Also as a Quaker, I believed in the power of the state to actively provide access and protection of other people’s liberties
