Big fan of Mystery tourneys. Generally tired.

Done adding things to the Mystery database for the time being. Everything from NES to Dreamcast is on there, as well as arcade (MAME-compatible), and then some stuff after Dreamcast/on PC. Fightcade and Arkadyzja compatibility is on there as well.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

The fact that we'll never get GW2 (or the Project Gotham games) on Steam is a travesty. GW2 on XBL had some of my favorite "log in, see friend beat your score, cuss loudly, stay awake for 5 extra hours to beat score, send message, go to sleep" moments on the platform, of which there were a *lot*.

No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.
In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.

In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should
when its definitely not a hostage situation

Every day I come to realize that I made a mistake closing up shop, and that everything I did, minus Mystery (thank you Chris), more or less never happened. To be fair, I never thought I was breaking new ground or that I was big/important, but I still kick myself about this roughly every day.

I heard there was a Cohen song,

And all the Christians got it wrong,

But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?

‘Cause you see its about getting laid,

It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,

But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

Last week I finished going through all of the free local multiplayer games in Steam and added ~220 to the database. Haven't tested them because that's a lot of games and I'm still doing research. So if you're looking to run something new in Mystery and are tight on money, might find something there.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
it is tired to the point of cliche to say if turkey was good, people would make it more than once a year. but it is understated that at least one American explodes every Thanksgiving in a brave attempt to make the main dish more palatable

I know it's *really* difficult to square this with the bajillion horrid things happening, including but not limited to Trump's "sedition" post, and yes photo ops with that asshole kinda suck. I get that. But, in addition to the QRP, like...he's just mayor of a (very big) city. TF he supposed to do?
if you guys are ditching mamdani after he managed to throw the entire fucking republican party into complete total chaos and disarray while they rip each other apart, got trump to admit he's a fascist on-screen, and might've got him to leave ny alone for now with one meeting....... yall, come on
