No matter how much more we find out the worst parts of game culture were apparently rooted in rich dudes being shitty to distract from their own machinations, by god, at least Zero Wing's legacy is too old to have it taken away from us and I intend to cling to that comfort until I'm dead and buried.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Hey everyone.
I’ve set up a GoFundMe to help me cover the recent vet costs for my baby girl Jasmine. I’m not happy I’ve had to do this two years in a row, but vet costs are super high and pet insurance won’t cover pre-existing conditions.

Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

NO ICE IN THE DMV
In the rural Maryland county where an ICE concentration camp is planned, the county commission board voted unanimously to back it.
One board member, Derek Harvey, has an interesting resume: He was Trump’s top NSC Middle East adviser in 2017 + later worked as lead investigator for Rep Devin Nunes 🙃

There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here.
Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able.
We need endurance in this moment.

anyway i made a patched version of 2xko that doesn't require vanguard for archival reasons, can't connect to servers (obviously) but it also allows modding so there's the potential to reimplement online for when the game inevitably sunsets

Sympathies to anyone and everyone hit by the 2XKO layoffs. Game's great but I guess it's not huge enough for Riots liking. Hope you all manage to have soft landings.
