We are about to run face-first into a combo of:
- Covid development delays (2020-2022)
- End of Zero-Interest Rate Policy (2022)
- Overinvestment in games-as-a-service (2021-2025)
- AI-based hardware shortages (2025+)
AAA games take 4-7 years to develop and bring to market. It is going to be BAD.

It just struck me that newspaper comic strips were sort of proto-posting: you come up with a joke every single day and eventually you either mellow out or become completely insane

I have no idea how society is going to respond to either no new electronics or all electronics 4-5x in cost overnight for the next few years. like the new Steam Deck will be $2000. consumer technology is over.
〜actually〜 I believe leftists have the capacity to be even *more* anti-AI
not only that, but many less politically-inclined will too when it starts dawning on people that you can’t buy a computer the way you were able to just a year ago because all the components have now been earmarked for not-you

Many people are saying 2026 is “The Year of Dragon Quest” and “the year you stop buying new games and just play Dragon Quest”
I used to mock those middle-aged Japanese salarymen who only bought DraQue and nothing else…but now I think they had it all figured out 20 years ahead of their time.

gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
