This is all so fucking stupid. How many 10s or 100s of thousands of people have died just to bring us back to roughly the pre-2014 status quo, all because a bunch of flesh eating beasts in Galacia have delusions of building a 19th century nation state in 21st century asia?
In the Eclipse Phase TTRPG there was a disaster about a decade back. Lots of people only survived by uploading their minds. You see, a space ship might only be able to fit a few dozen living people, but if you shoved it full of high-density storage containing people’s minds you could save millions. Well, after the dust settled and the fires went out there weren’t millions of bodies to download people back in to. For many of this class of “infugees”, the idea of a body is far out of reach and the most they can hope for is that someone will boot them up and hire them to do some kind of job that only requires their digital presence, and one of these is operating NPCs in virtual games for paying customers. Doesn’t pay much, but at least you’re awake.
Israel has now been effectively attacked, iirc, by Palestinian forces, Hamas, Ansarallah, and now maybe Iran. The al-Aqsa Flood broke their sense of invulnerability, and I imagine that finding out that so many of their adversaries can actually hit them at home hasn’t been good for their sanity.
I would unironically support this for some small studio and indy games. I’ve bought a bunch of cosmetics for Deep Rock because I’ve had so much joy from the game and I want Ghost Ship to thrive and create wonderful things. Same for a bunch of other small games over the years. I would like to provide some support for people who are making art and beautiful things, even if that support is meager.
Rockstar, however, is not welcome to lick my taint bc I only do that with people I like and respect.
So I’m complaining at work that my manager double ordered truck instead of teaching me how to put in the order, and she’s taken two vacations, cuz she lives with her son and can afford to, and I’m stuck in this shithole while my fam is 6 hours away, literally all my nephews and nieces, sibs, etc....
People be like “IN THE GDR 25% OF THE COUNTRY WERE INFORMANTS!” and it’s like oh cool when did you last call the fucking police, Brayden? Imagine living in a place where only 25% of the population snitched.

They can not. They get pelagra and die. Happened at some point during slavery or jim crow, I forget exactly, but the Slavers observed that local people ate a whole hell of a lot of corn, so they started feeding enslaved people corn meal, because it was the cheapest thing with calories. Well, the local people knew that if you eat nothing but corn you die and had been doing something called en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization Yeah nixtamilsomething. It’s a mesoAmerican word I’m not good with those. But it changes the chemical structure of the corn, makes some nutrients bioavailable, and important means you don’t get pellagra.
I just realized this joke had nothing to do with not nixtamilizationing your corn. I have too much horrible knowledge in my brain and I am having issues with that given the current situation in the world.
Akshually (no shit he said this it’s in writing) according to St. Augustine sin is stored in the balls and comes pre-installed. No wonder on whether an embryo made with zero sperm would still have original sin.
That’d be kindof a funny fuck you Christian Fascists. Write a story where some kind is born in a state of grace and totally chill bc they’re a clone or something. Wouldn’t work, though, Christian Fascists think St. Augustine is a city in Florida.
It just sounds like people arguing about homestuck, to me. Like it’s occasionally interesting to look at but then I remember how silly it all is, just loops and loops of people arguing about their head cannon for their blorbo, and I quickly remember why I generally stopped being interested in it.
