(they/he)

he/they. I used to work in publishing. I don't anymore, and I don't know what to do with my life lol. I stream mostly retro games over at twitch.tv/ripleydottelevision. I think these bios are awkward.

Is there a Japan-only retro game that you'd love to see an English fan-translation for? I now have a suggestion form where you can submit requests: docs.google.com/forms/d/10JJ...

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Sega Saturn alert!! Someone casually spent five years making a complete first-person shooter for the Saturn and basically shadowdropped the thing more than a month ago. The Saturn scene is just now finding out about it. Looks incredible!!
